From the beaches of Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and Isle of Palms to afternoons spent kayaking, fishing, or taking a marsh tour, there’s always something to enjoy outdoors. Charleston’s food scene is another special highlight, with restaurants such as Husk and FIG serving up fresh, local seafood and the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, drawing visitors from all around the world. The city also comes alive year-round with cultural events, from the world-famous Spoleto Festival USA to the lively Charleston Farmers Market.

“Adam and his team were beyond professional. They were prompt, kind, understanding and non-judgemental. The guys ran like a well oiled machine never took breaks. Their team work was outstanding. They packed all my belongings with care, I noticed this significantly when I was home unpacking alone.”
