About the host
Hosted by Sarah Pursell
Originally from CA, I came to Charleston in 2017 after traveling around the US for a few years. Charleston is, by far, my favorite place I've ever lived. I love the history, the nature, the beauty, the architecture, and mostly, the friendly people. Oh, and the amazing food. I hope you love Charleston as much as I do! And if you decide to make it your home, as I did, I'm a local REALTOR, and am happy to help!
Why they chose this property
I raised my family in this home and moved to a bigger space in 2025. The location is ideal, situated right between Downtown Charleston (just a 6 minute drive) and Folly Beach (about a 15 minute drive). It's close to all the fun & touristy stuff. And the food. lol.
What makes this property unique
The backyard. We sit on a quiet creek, where waterfowl abounds. We have a swing, a fire pit, a hot tub, kayaks, a garden, a picnic table, and outdoor furniture for guests to enjoy relaxing on our 1/3 of an acre.
