South Carolina is bubbling to the top of many family vacation destination lists these days. What’s all the fuss about? We think it’s the chance to combine charming and historic Charleston with the laid-back, kid-friendly coast — a bit quieter than some other beach regions. Tour some of the best historic plantations and military forts, dine on Lowcountry fare like shrimp and grits, and then cap it all off with a few days by the ocean playing in the gentle waves. Kid-friendly hotels include historic properties that feel like a step back in time and modern resorts with lots of onsite activities like golf, tennis, bikes and multiple pools.

Our Happy Travelers
"Katie went above & beyond for our family. We had a spectacular trip. I appreciate how Katie understood our needs as a family and gave me realistic feedback. The places where we stayed were exactly what I was looking for. I valued Katie’s patience with me as I was building my trip and deciding what exactly we were looking for as a family. She was available for input whenever needed and I would definitely use her and Ciao Bambino again."
