Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: We are South Carolina residents and we love traveling down to the Low Country. We love to take our daughter to historical sites and the Low Country is full of them! We bought the Blue Crab Retreat because of it's proximity to all the wonderful places nearby along with it's privacy and beautiful views. When we found out you could crab right off the dock we were sold!
Why the Owner Chose Ridgeland, SC, USA:
I began frequently traveling to this area through work. As I spent more time working in the area, I decided to purchase a home so I had a place to stay while in the area and a place bring my family for vacations. We love escaping to the picturesque views and flourishing wildlife. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!
