Mount Pleasant is a relaxed, walkable coastal town with beaches, marshland trails, plentiful short‑term rentals and active outdoor options—kayaking, biking and waterfront dining—so a multi‑week assignment feels more like a comfortable mini‑residency than being stuck somewhere with nothing to do.
It’s just across the river from Charleston, giving you easy access to its restaurants, museums, medical centers and the airport for weekend escapes, so you get small‑town ease plus big‑city amenities.
