Location: Sullivan's Island, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA (15 Minutes to Downtown Historic Charleston) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
Incredible location.... Beachfront at the mouth of Charleston Harbor, this charming ground floor condominium has views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Charleston Harbor.
The wide sandy beach is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, fishing, or launching small sailboats. The National Park Service and the Town of Sullivan's Island maintain over a mile of undeveloped, protected beach and maritime forest adjacent to the property where you can have undisturbed strolls on the beach. The condo is immediately next door to Fort Moultrie, a National Historic Site with museum and tours, that played significant roles in both the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Fort Sumter, site of the first conflict of the Civil War, can be seen across the harbor. The main channel into Charleston lies nearby, allowing clear views of every ship passing into or out of the harbor. Dolphins play just off shore.
This condo is one of four individually owned units that were originally built as Army Nurse's quarters circa 1910, and are the only vacation rental beachfront condominiums on Sullivan's Island. This unique historic property preserves the charm of the hundred year old structure, but this unit has been renovated and professionally decorated to appeal to today's traveler. The condominium features large front and back screened porches with rocking chairs, swing, and dining areas. Inside, the original hardwood floors give the condominium the feel of an old Southern beach cottage, while providing all modern amenities including a flat panel HDTV, stereo with iPod dock, and Wi-Fi. The ground floor location allows easy access with parking only a few steps away. A local management staff is just down the street to take care of your needs.
Sullivan's Island provides a location that is quiet, uncrowded, with a very relaxed lifestyle. There is not a single traffic light on the island. The island is primarily residential; yet it has several excellent restaurants, post office, dry cleaners, art gallery, and small grocery store within a mile of the condo. The three mile long island is perfect for exploring by bicycle or golf cart. Public tennis courts and playground are just down the street. One of the beauties of this quiet oceanfront paradise is that it is only a 15 minute drive from historic downtown Charleston and even closer to the shopping and dining areas of Mount Pleasant.

Affordable Beachfront Vacation Rental - Charleston Area
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Sullivan's Island
We wanted a beachfront location that was free of crowds, quiet and relaxing, yet close to excellent dining and entertainment. We enjoy the history of Charleston from the old rice plantations to the fine pre-revolutionary city homes. Charleston has a grace and charm that few American cities possess. From the performances of the Spoleto Festival, the excellent antique shopping, the tours of historic sites, to the Shrimp boats and fishing charters on Shem Creek, Charleston captivates. Sullivan's Island provides easy access to all this, but seems a world away from the bustle.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
This is an extremely relaxing location, beachfront at the Charleston harbor entrance where dolphins play, and you get close up views of all the ships entering the harbor. The island is perfect for bicycle riding, has several excellent restaurants within a mile, and is loaded with history. Outdoor activities abound, from deep sea fishing, to wildlife tours of the salt march, to excellent golf on nearby Isle of Palms.
Key battle fought here in the Revolutionary War gave South Carolina the nickname "Palmetto State". Edgar Allen Poe was stationed here, and Seminole chief Osceola is buried here
Owned by the City of Sullivan's Island and the National Park Service, the beach and adjoining maritime forest seem to be your own private reserve.
Several excellent restaurants including Atlanticville and High Thyme, and casual places like Dunleavy's and Poe's.
Enjoy shops, an old fashion soda counter, or dinner in the Old Village
Beautiful Homes, Great Restaurants, and Incredible History. Take a carriage ride through downtown.
Where the War of Northern Aggression started. Take a tour boat from Patriots Point
Owner's Map of Sullivan's Island
We are a family of four from Atlanta who have been vacationing in the Charleston area and South Carolina Low Country for many years. We have come to enjoy the Charleston area best of all. We find the combination of Southern Charm, history, shopping, and excellent food compelling. Now that we have an anchor at Sullivan's Island, we are happy to share the beautiful, quiet beach; access to wonderful local restaurants -- especially seafood; friendly locals; historic Ft. Moultrie, Ft. Sumter (viewed from our condo), the beautiful ships coming into Charleston Harbor; and historic, authentic, Charleston!
