We enjoy using The Village at Fairfield Ocean Ridge as our home base when we visit the Charleston area. It is about an hour south of Charleston, and it could be a little less depending on the traffic out of Charleston. The planations are also within an easy drive.On our last trip my husband and son-in-law thoroughly enjoyed going to see a display of the Civil War submarine, the Hunley. Also a visit to Patroits Point was a highlight for them.

On our last trip my husband and son-in-law thoroughly enjoyed going to see a display of the Civil War submarine, the Hunley. Also a visit to Patroits Point was a highlight for them. Our daughter and I walked around Charleston while we waited for them to finish the Patroits Point tour.
During one night while we were at Edisto we watched our grandson while his parents spent a night at Two Meeting Street in Charleston. That was a memorable time for them. The next morning the owner of the inn allowed our daughter and her husband to take us on a tour of the inn. That was nice for us. While going to or coming out of Charleston, stop by John's Island and see Angle Oak, a 1400-year-old live Oak tree. Be prepared to ask directions. It is a little hard to find but worth seeing.
One day we took a tour of the Edisto Island in the "Pink Van". The company was "Tours and Tings", and was conducted by an island native. It was most informative and something we will probably do again when we go to Edisto this spring.
And don't forget to go to Beaufort, SC, while you are on Edisto. It is not far and a lovely small town. It is rather a very miniature Charleston.
We plan many more trips to Edisto Island.
