Arrive to a Fully Stocked Charleston Retreat
The perfect Charleston getaway begins before you even unpack.
Our Grocery and Bar Stocking Service ensures your accommodations are prepared before your arrival with your favorite snacks, beverages, wines, spirits, breakfast items, and custom requests.
Rather than spending valuable vacation time shopping, you’ll arrive to a fully stocked home ready for relaxation.
Vacation begins the moment you walk through the door.
Explore Historic Charleston by Charleston Bike Taxi
One of the most enjoyable ways to experience downtown Charleston is aboard a Charleston Bike Taxi.
These pedal-powered rickshaws offer a uniquely Charleston perspective as you travel through the city’s historic district. Glide beneath moss-draped oaks, pass colorful historic homes, admire church steeples rising above the skyline, and experience the charm of Charleston at a relaxed pace.
Unlike traditional transportation, a Bike Taxi allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and character of the city while traveling between destinations.
It’s transportation and sightseeing all in one.
Discover Charleston’s Hidden Speakeasies and Prohibition History
Few visitors realize Charleston has a fascinating Prohibition-era history.
Our Historic Prohibition Walk combines storytelling, Charleston history, exceptional cocktails, and some of the city’s most beloved restaurants and bars into one unforgettable evening.
Led by expert guides, guests explore the colorful tales of bootleggers, gangsters, speakeasies, and the social culture that shaped Charleston during the Roaring Twenties.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy signature cocktails and culinary offerings while learning stories rarely found in guidebooks.
This exclusive experience blends history, hospitality, and Charleston’s renowned food and beverage scene into one extraordinary night.
Journey Through Time at Middleton Place

Guests can explore:
- 110 acres of magnificent gardens
- The historic House Museum
- The Stableyards
- Eliza’s House
- Living history demonstrations

As you walk through the grounds, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the people, architecture, culture, and traditions that helped shape the American South.
The beauty and significance of Middleton Place make it one of Charleston’s most treasured landmarks.
Step Back in Time with a Private Carriage Tour
Few experiences are more iconic than a private carriage ride through Charleston’s historic district.
For more than fifty years, visitors have trusted Charleston’s carriage tours to introduce them to the stories, architecture, and personalities that define the Holy City.
Your private carriage experience offers an intimate journey through centuries of Charleston history as expert guides share fascinating stories of merchants, pirates, patriots, preservationists, and prominent families who helped shape the city.
Travel beneath live oaks, past hidden gardens, historic churches, grand mansions, and beautifully preserved neighborhoods while learning why Charleston continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
This is history brought to life.
The Crown Jewel: An Exclusive Private Mansion Dinner
While Charleston offers remarkable restaurants, nothing compares to the experience of dining inside a private historic estate.
This exclusive evening serves as the signature highlight of the Charleston History Experience.
Guests enjoy private access to one of Charleston’s breathtaking historic mansions, a setting rarely available to the public.
Whether dining beneath original crystal chandeliers, surrounded by centuries-old architecture, or enjoying cocktails on a historic piazza, the experience is unlike anything available through traditional tourism.
This is Charleston as few ever experience it.
