The Cottages on Charleston Harbor

These crisp waterfront cabins let you soak up the rustic beauty of the Lowcountry without straying too far from the action downtown. Offering one- or two-bedroom floor plans, they sit just across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge from downtown Charleston (about 10 minutes by car).Heart-pine floors run throughout, double-wide rope hammocks hang on screened porches, fully equipped kitchens anchor the common areas.
