The Beach Club at Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina

Lovely building in a nice location. Amenities were great and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The naval museum can be walked to. The pools are very large and the shallower pools are great for kids. Be advised that the website description of which room you are booking can be confusing.

It’s a great place to go great!! Shuttle is perfect back-and-forth to downtown Charleston and it’s great for families especially if you have kids to get away from the downtown area and get the kids a place to run around and play or a quiet place to just relax The kids will have a blast and it’s only 10 minute shuttle ride

We were able to get a last minute reservation for one night. When driving into the resort area, they have 2 hotels together and didn’t know which one to go to, so of course, we went to the wrong one first. They were very nice and directed us to go to the other building. When we entered the hotel, we did not see any desk to check in, but a room off to the side with 2 desks that looked like where the concierge would sit. The desks did not face the doorway, but faced to the side, not looking out into front door. To our surprise it was the front desk. (The next day, upon checkout, we did notice a very small sign on wall behind a plant saying it was front office). Upon check in, we did have a hard time hearing and understanding the person checking us in as he sat behind a computer monitor and he did not make any eye contact. He did not offer any information about the resort or even a map of the resort. We had to ask about shuttle to go into the city. So we had to figure it out ourselves. After walking around a bit, we found that there was a water taxi that takes you right into the city from the docks in back of hotel. The room was on the first level, which is not ideal, but for one night and last minute reservations we could not complain. When we got into the room, it was absolutely beautiful. The furnishings were in great condition and the room was beautifully decorated. It looked just like the pictures they advertise. The place was spotless. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very spacious with a soaker tub, glass shower, water closet and vanity with 2 sinks and a makeup area with chair. We had a sliding door with small fenced in patio with 2 chairs. The view was not great as it looked out over the walkway ramp and railings, beyond that the pool. Other than the issue with the view, the safe in the closet did not work. But the actual room itself was beautiful. The resort is well maintained. We will definitely go back to this resort in the future for a longer stay but on a higher floor. Because of the confusion at check-in and not able to understand the person checking us in, I give it 4 stars.

Beautiful Resort. It rained the entire time we were there but the view was great. During periods of no rain we used the pools and they were great for kids. Clean and pretty resort. Very comfortable large rooms. No bellman though and no room service. The restaurant next door is horrible. It is understaffed and the wait time for coffee was 30 minutes and food two hours. The marina store does not even carry batteries and only has small bags of chips and snacks.

Can't overstate how pleasant our stay at Beach Club was. It was amazing, astounding actually, how well run and efficient this Resort is operated. From check in to check out (5 days) everyone we encountered was simply on their game, courteous yet efficient. Room was very comfortable, nice wide balcony overlooking the marina, the harbor and its varied boating (including commercial ships), just a wonderful Pool area, large and someplace for everyone, the Water Taxi to Charleston was (as said) on time, efficient, and pleasant despite windy wavy conditions, felt safe at all times. The Tiki Bar and Reel Bar were good experiences, courteous and efficient, the entire place was remarkably well run, a rarity today, kudos to management. Would be remiss not to mention the Shem Creek eateries and lounges aka bars. What a neat place and only a short Uber from the Resort. Great seafood and libations and a parade of people walking the boardwalk. Yes, we highly recommend Charleston Harbor Resort and Beach Club as an alternative to the clustered homes and narrow streets of staying downtown Charleston.
