Great view of the creek, with the pelicans and dolphins and boats and kayakers going by! Beautiful boardwalk path to get a little closer to the nature if you want to. And all sorts of dining and beverage activities very close by!

The room was clean and roomy. Balcony views are beautiful and the proximity to so many amazing restaurants and bars make this the place to be. 10-15 minutes to all the downtown Charleston sights. Watersedge and Muddys are hopping every night with live entertainment. Another memorable stay at Shem Creek Inn. Thanks

Initial housekeeping issue and had to change rooms. They were accommodating. You hear every footstep in the room above you. Parking lot is a disaster. Pot holes and king tides flooded the road. Nice ambiance and location in Shem Creek. Weather was poor so didn’t use pool or deck but looked nice. Breakfast only if you’re desperate for free.
