  Cooper River houseboat with a sun deck, Charleston, South Carolina

  Bed & bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
  Top amenities: Waterfront, bridge views, starlit skies, nearby Island Cabana Bar

  This outcropping of floating docks extends into the wide Cooper River at the mouth of Charleston’s Harbor, near the foot of the suspension Ravenel Bridge. Someone had the brilliant idea to dock a small cluster of floating apartments here (there’s another one with two bedrooms), each with retractable bubble skylights and a spiral staircase leading you up to your own private sun deck. The marina bait & tackle shop serves up ice-cold peach beer and delicious fish tacos (you’ve also got your own galley kitchen should you care to cook). Construction feels new, not rustic or shabby. You’re close to NOMO (North Morrison), which means craft brews and barbecue galore (Edmund’s Oast, Lewis Barbecue, Revelry Brewing, Home Team BBQ, Taco Boy, JINYA Ramen Bar). Return to your overwater pad at night to watch sailboats and colorful cargo ships glide by, and to take in the stars once the sun goes down.
