At the Marina the docks are long! So the bathrooms, showers, laundry and getting anywhere is a long walk. The showers are small and stark, no where to put your things or sit to get dressed. You are required to pay a $38 resort fee, which basically gives you access to a pool and hot tub, which was closed one of the two days we were there. There were solo fire \"pits\" set up, which could be nice if you have the gumption to use them. It is a mile and half walk to supermarket and I saw a whole foods as we exited the market. The shuttle will only take you down town Charleston (not the market) and no dogs allowed on the van. Everyone was nice.
The mooring field is exposed to a north or north west wind. Luckily it was a south west wind while we were there. Even at that it can be choppy as there is a breakwater and the water is funneled in from the harbor and bounces off the breakwater. Other than that it was fine!
