You may be able to get by without a car if you plan to spend most of your time in central Charleston, but a car can make arrivals, beach trips, and visiting farther neighborhoods easier. Parking and ride options can vary by property, so review the listing details before you decide.
Westside has a more local, evolving feel than Charleston’s historic core, with a mix of residential streets, older industrial buildings, and new development. It can appeal to travelers who want a less tourist-heavy base and don’t mind a neighborhood that feels more urban than polished.
