Why a Private Residence Club?

Membership in a Private Residence Club like The Charleston Club affords a Member

robbing tasks associated with traditional ownership of real estate. While Members
have as much occupancy as the typical absentee owner they do so while enjoying a
level of proactive concierge service usually reserved for only the most acclaimed
properties. Coupled with this lifestyle is access to over 150 other Private Residence
Clubs around the world, giving a member many experiences through the acquisition of
merely one real estate product. It is easy to see why this is the fastest growing segment
