The Palms Oceanfront Hotel is a 68-room, beachside budget property located on the Isle of Palms, about 25 minutes outside of Charleston. Although there are a few restaurants within walking distance, there aren’t many other tourist attractions nearby besides the beach. Balconies that face the ocean have great water views, but all rooms could use an upgrade.

The four-pearl Wild Dunes Resort is a huge 458-room property located on the beach in a gated community at the end of the Isle of Palms. Accommodations are divided between an inn, a village-style area, and rental condos, cottages, and vacation homes. All are attractive, decorated in contemporary beach decor, plus outfitted with flat-screen TVs, fridges, and coffeemakers. Features are outstanding and include multiple pools, a 36-hole golf course, and nationally ranked tennis courts. There are also several restaurant and bar options, including Southern cuisine and an oceanfront grill. For a less sprawling stay, consider the 132-room Tides Foley Beach, located a 20-minute drive from downtown.

Just 20 minutes from downtown Charleston, the Seaside Inn is a two-and-a-half pearl hotel on the beach near other reasonably priced, relaxed properties. There are microwaves and mini-fridges in the 50 rooms and views of the sea from some units. But some guests complain of a musty smell in the rooms (common in coastal areas of high humidity). The three-story property has limited amenities, but for couples or families with older children for whom the beach is the goal, the Seaside Inn strikes the right notes of location and practicality. Travelers may want to compare rates and amenities at the Palms Oceanfront Hotel.
