Fresh and local seafood restaurant that you will want to eat at again! 2 locations in Charleston. Apparently, best to avoid consuming oysters May through August because of the warmer water and the possibility of contamination.

Neighborhoods
Park Circle is an up and coming area to consider for a more active visitor wanting to experience a walkable community with access to breweries, restaurants and bars. It tends to be a younger crowd in that area but they have a number of good eateries to choose from if you are looking for a change of pace. It is a drive from the Condo to this neighborhood so be prepared to get in the car for this trip.
