The best of Charleston and the Lowcountry, curated by locals
Explore the Lowcountry Like a Local
Charleston Treehouse sits on Johns Island, South Carolina — just 15 minutes from downtown Charleston and surrounded by some of the most rewarding places to eat, explore, and unwind in the entire Lowcountry. Whether you are after fresh-caught seafood, ancient live oaks, world-class rooftop bars, or quiet stretches of barrier island beach, everything you need is within easy reach of the treehouse.
This guide is built from our own experience living and working on Johns Island. Every recommendation reflects a place we genuinely love, from the tiny island market down the road to the oyster shack on Bowen's Island that has been drawing locals for decades. We have organized it by category so you can plan your days however suits you — and we are always happy to answer questions or make personal suggestions when you book your stay.
