1. Be Ready for the Weather
Charleston’s subtropical climate means hot summers and mild winters. Pack light, breathable clothing for daytime explorations, but don’t forget a sweater or jacket for cooler evenings. Showers are common, so include a compact umbrella or raincoat just in case.
2. Footwear for Every Adventure
Walking is one of the best ways to experience Charleston, from its cobblestone streets to scenic parks. Bring comfortable, supportive shoes for sightseeing. For dinners out or rooftop bars, consider packing dressier options to match Charleston’s stylish atmosphere.
3. Beach Essentials
If you plan to visit Charleston’s stunning beaches, don’t forget the essentials: sunscreen, sunglasses, and a beach towel. Many of the CHC rentals
offer beach gear like chairs and umbrellas, so check in advance to lighten your load.
4. Outfits for Special Nights
Charleston is known for its exceptional culinary scene. Bring a few outfits that can transition from daytime casual to evening sophistication, perfect for a night out at one of the city’s high-end restaurants or rooftop bars.
5. Capture Your Memories
Charleston is a photographer’s dream. Pack a camera or smartphone to capture the beauty of the historic streets, the waterfront, and local landmarks. A portable charger ensures you’re always ready to snap photos and stay connected.
6. For Extended Stays
If you’re booking a 30-night stay
at CHC Vacation Rentals, comfort becomes even more important. Bring items that will make your long-term stay feel like home, such as cozy blankets, favorite books, or homey kitchen essentials. Many rentals offer laundry services, so you can pack lighter and rewash clothes as needed.
7. Travel Guides and Maps
Charleston is full of hidden gems. To make the most of your trip, carry a guidebook or digital map for discovering off-the-beaten-path spots. Our team is always happy to offer personalized recommendations for dining, activities, and unique experiences.
8. Pack Light, Travel Smart
Avoid overpacking by making use of the amenities offered at your hotel or rental property. Kitchens, laundry services, and spacious accommodations can help you streamline your packing, giving you more room for the souvenirs you’ll want to bring home.
