Tourist attractions near South Carolina vacation rentals
Charleston is full of historic sites for Civil War enthusiasts. Visit grand antebellum properties such as Aiken-Rhett House, where you'll see the contrast between the rooms where the family of the governor lived, with oil paintings and huge chandeliers, and the quarters for enslaved Africans. Fort Sumter is where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, and inside this imposing seaport there's a museum full of artifacts, plus well-preserved cannons. Arrive at the fort in style on a restored paddle steamer, and enjoy a guided tour of the harbor, where you might spot playful dolphins.
