Paddle through a salt marsh at sunrise. Go sailing at sunset. Wander into chic boutiques filled with items by up-and-coming designers. Reminisce as you discover familiar scenes from novels, movies, and operatic scores. Explore the picturesque and exquisitely preserved architecture and historic landmarks, visual feasts for the eyes. Beauty lurks in every corner in South Carolina’s Charleston; it’s sometimes hard to differentiate whether you are stuck in a dream or living in reality. And, the dream doesn’t cease when you go back to your accommodation after a long and tiring day. Run away some more with these five breathtaking Airbnbs in Charleston:

1. Fit for a king: luxury suite at King and Market Street (from 252 USD)

This private condo provides you the comfort a king (or queen) needs … especially since it is located at the corner of King and Market Street (the two largest attractions in all of Charleston). Located in the heart of the city, you will find no need for a car here. Walk to everything, because eating, shopping and sight-seeing are just steps away. Stretch out in this cosy space with plush sofas and romantic fairy lights that line the brick vintage walls. The warm glow and chilled ambience will definitely make you feel calm and relaxed. Chill some wine, pop the cork, pour, and enjoy! Breakfast time! Make yourself a cup of coffee with the well-known and high-end Keurig coffee machine. Breakfast in bed? Why not! Make yourself a hearty portion of bacon and eggs in this well equipped and furnished kitchen. Or if you prefer eating with a proper table, enjoy this intimate breakfast nook. Alternatively, use it to have a romantic candle-lit dinner. And finally, sleep like royalty on this bed, complete with luxurious linens and premium pillows.

Who says fairytales don’t exist? Start believing in fairies and magic with this enchanting and alluring stand-alone bungalow located in a downtown suburb at Central Peninsula. Gaze up and admire the beautiful fairy lights that illuminate the entire front porch of the house. The tall shady trees make it seem like the bungalow is built in a magical forest, exactly like a scene from a fairytale! Sip some champagne as you chill on the porch. Wait for it to get dark and be mesmerised by how stunning the fairy lights look. And here we have the common ground, a spacious and airy room that is also modern and chic. Climb up the elegant staircase and be welcomed by the bedroom. Enter your toasty and cosy bedroom. Open up those white doors … and there you have it: a balcony for you to admire everything from a bird’s eye view. This bedroom has an en suite bathroom with ample towels and toiletries for you to use. There are sufficient parking lots on the street, and the hosts will be happy to lend you a few bikes if you would like to bike around town.

Doze off in this antique queen-sized canopy bed and wake up to the fancy interior of a nicely decorated historic French bedroom. This separate large office is perfect if you are looking for a work space. Sink into the large plush leather chairs and do your work on the sturdy partners’ desk. The warm lights from the hanging chandelier also give off sufficient light for a productive time of work. Despite being 2 blocks away from many cafes and 8 Diamond restaurants, what can beat the warm and fuzzy feeling and tasty flavours of home-cooked food?
