  • We had such a fantastic time this past week on Sullivan's at the Ford Beach house. The house was gorgeous, tastefully decorated and absolutely perfect for families with kids. Our boys loved the playhouse and swings and the train table and toys in the bunkroom closet. The older kids got a real kick out of sleeping on the day beds on the porch. This was our first trip to Sullivan's Island and we found that it is the perfect destination for a family beach vacation. There are some great restaurants within short walking distance from the house (we could walk with our pre-schooler, which tells you just how close it is!) Also within walking distance is a lovely shaded park/playground, tennis courts, a quaint firehouse (a big hit with the little boys), a cozy branch library with very friendly librarians and a resident cat. The beach is fun for small children and because it is so long and flat makes for a perfect place for morning jogs. The house itself is well supplied for entertaining and we made the most of that. There is every kitchen gadget you could ever hope to use (crab pot? check!, waffle iron? check!, orange juicer? yup, they've got that, too) The Tuesday afternoon Farmer's Market in Mt. Pleasant and the fish markets at Shem Creek (both within 10 minutes of the house) were great sources for fresh, local food for our feasts. We also loved the proximity to Charleston and were able to sample a few of the cultural offerings of the Spoleto festival. We hope to return again to Sullivan's Island and would love to stay at this house.
