    live like a local

    YP is giving you all of the insight you won’t see on your typical visitor’s guide.

    Between roaming the cobblestone, European-esque streets of downtown, sampling some of the country's most sought-after cuisine, catching a sunset at one of our iconic beaches, or watching the boats come into the harbor... you're running out of reasons not to visit Charleston. Our homes in the vibrant and bustling Elliotborough/Cannonborough district will be the perfect LaunchPad for your vacation. All of our rentals are an easy stroll to King Street and a short ride over to the Historic District.

    here’s a local’s view on where to go & what to do

    (all while avoiding the tourist crowds)

    dining in Charleston

    Charleston is home to some of the most unique & sought-after cuisine, most of which will be within walking distance of your rental! From white tablecloth to hole-in-the-wall spots, here’s a list of our favorite eats. 

    • Xiao Bao Biscuit. Asian-inspired. Try the cabbage pancake. You won’t regret it. 
    • Chubby Fish. Awesome seafood. Featured on Bon Appetit’s “Best New Restaurants” list.
    • Hometeam BBQ. Whether you’re catching a game day or just looking to catch a beer, this is your spot.
    • Brown’s Court Bakery. Stroll on over to our favorite place to grab a morning pastry and coffee. 
    • 167 Raw. It's not a trip to Charleston without grabbing Oysters from this team favorite. 
    • Leon’s. Iconic local spot for elevated southern comfort food. 
    • The Workshop. Think of a food court, but a cool one (with outdoor seating and a brewery). Something for everyone.
    • Gnome. Need vegan options? This fully plant-based cafe is a great spot for breakfast and lunch.
    • Huriyali. Healthy, organic eats. Think acai bowls and lots of veg. A YP team frequent lunch grab.
    • Husk. More of your fine-dining option, serving southern dishes. 

    things to do in Charleston

    You’ve already heard of Rainbow Row and the Pineapple Fountain. But in all honesty, there’s a lot of just-as-cool (or even better) sights to check out.

    • The Alley. Bowling, arcade, trivia nights, drink specials, food. Should we keep going?
    • Shem Creek. Head over the bridge to have a drink watch the shrimp boats come in, all while the sun sets. Rent paddleboards or kayaks on the spot and get in the water. 
    • Riverdogs. Catch a baseball game at the Joe Riley stadium downtown. You may even spot Bill Murray.
    • Charter a boat. There are two ways to experience Charleston - exploring the peninsula and admiring the peninsula from the water. Reach out for more information.
    • Historic District. Stroll the French Quarter and South of Broad. Snap photos of some of Charleston’s most iconic homes and sights. 
    • Helicopter Tour. Want to see the Holy City from above? Take a ‘copter to get a view of our beaches, lighthouses, Fort Sumter, and more.
    • Hampton Park. Stroll around one of our city’s largest parks. The spanish moss and blooming flowers make it a great place to take photos. It’s also pet friendly. Bonus points if you have brunch at the Park Cafe after!

    nightlife in Charleston

    Parts of King Street are known for its lively nightlife scene. Good news for you, they’re likely all within walking distance of your rental. 

    • You’ve got your upscale cocktail bars if you want a classier vibe. Vintage, Cocktail Club, and Felix to name a few. 
    • Feel like dancing? We've got nightclubs for that too. Mynt, Deco, and Trio are all awesome options.
    • If you want a more laid-back feel (without compromising on fun) head to Uptown Social, Prohibition, or Faculty Lounge. 
    • Pro-Tip: Check websites for dress codes before heading out!
