B&B investment locations include Carolina inns in "see-and-do" top destination cities. Typifying southerner’s passion for southern graces, garden statues and genteel gardens are places like Hot Country Lilies and Charleston’s Boone Hall Plantation's southern gardens, historic site, and country house manor. Drawing travelers' interest for "see-and-do" soft adventures are popular attractions -- South Carolina Acquarium, Spoleto Festival -- plus shopping in THE HOT places like Shop at Moo Roo.

are defined by one observer in "simple terms: Generous. Humble ingredients. Comforting. Sharing. And, above all, seafood." Favorits are Shrimp and Grits (featured on Good Morning America), South Carolina pig picking, Low Country Boil (aka Frogmore Stew), and Carolina Grains of Gold (rice). Island excursions take you to Hilton Head Island or Daufuskie Island golf, the naturalist's paradise of Hunting Island State Park, and Gullah culture discovered in the Sea Islands beyond Beaufort, especially on St. Helena Island.
Writer Charlene Rooke's view is that "Charleston is a balance of upscale gentility and historic authenticity that pleases history buffs and honeymooners, foodies and arts fans alike." This sounds like Savannah, Georgia; thus, the rivalry of two southern cities. See America, Fodors, Frommers Guide, TripAdvisor offer an overview of things to do and places to see from South Carolina inn travels.
