The Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina is one of the few hotels on the water that combines with boat dockage. I have personally had the opportunity to visit the hotel and marina numerous times. The resort offers all of the amenities you could ask for including pools, restaurants, spa, and more. Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina is the perfect destination for a boat trip.

The Best Mt. Pleasant Hotel 

Located just across the Wando River from downtown Charleston is a hotel and marina called Charleston Harbor Resort. The location is ideal for bringing your vessel from both long and short journeys. You can enter the Wando River via the Charleston Inlet or through the Intercoastal Waterway. When you’re staying in Charleston, remain onboard your vessel or reserve a room in the resort.

The marina is perfect for crafts of all sizes.

Charleston Harbor Marina can hold up to 450 boats with a maximum length of 200 feet. The view from the resort and marina is spectacular both day and night. Watch the massive container ships cruise by, spot dolphins inside the marina, and watch the Charleston skyline light up at night. If this isn’t enough, check out all of the amenities that are available to you.

Best Mount Pleasant Charleston Hotel 

Some boat visitors are looking for more space to move around, so reserving a room can be a good option and the resort. Charleston Harbor Resort is arguably the best Mount Pleasant hotel. As if the resort doesn’t have enough to do on-premise, the Patriots Point Museum is steps away. Here you can see retired military ships, submarines, and aircraft. Bring along your clubs and play around of golf at Patriots Point Golf Links. 

Downtown Charleston also offers plenty of entertainment, including historical tours by foot and on horsedrawn carriages, excellent dining, and many breweries to suit your taste. However, if you never leave the resort, you won’t be bored. Also, if you don’t own a boat but are a member of a boat club such as Carefree or the Wando Marina boat club schedule a watercraft for the day.

Take a relaxing day and enjoy the Estuary Spa Charleston. The spa is open Monday through Saturday from nine in the morning until five at night. Both body enhancement and a variety of messages are available. 

The outdoor space is massive. Charleston Harbor Resort has numerous pools and deck space to lounge in the sun or hangout under an umbrella. Play games such as volleyball, chess, cornhole, and more in the sandy beach area or on the deck. Lastly, the resort offers a small pier adjacent to the beach. Cast a line from the pier or enjoy the views of the ships entering the port.

Four dining areas are available. Because of this, every price point, appetite, preference, and view can be accommodated. Everything from pizza to fresh local oysters can be found on the menus. The dining is also very kid-friendly.

Conclusion

The Charleston waters are excellent for boating because of the private beach options, forts surrounded by water, and fishing. When it’s time to go shoreside, you can feel right at home at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina. The easy access makes it even better. Experience a destination that has entertainment and dining at your fingertips.
