Guest Access:
Full access to the main house + back house + private parking + outdoor space
The Neighborhood:
The Old Village sits right on the Charleston harbor and is known for its beautiful historic homes, moss-draped live oak trees and small-town feel. Take a morning walk to see all the southern charm at it's finest!
Enjoy a coffee at Gala's Cage & Bakery, a glass of wine a Leeah's Wine Shop or a cozy dinner at Post House Inn, all a close 0.4 miles from the property. Head over to Shem Creek for some amazing seafood, views, and dolphin sightings galore.
You can't miss Pitt Street Bridge for a sunset stroll. It was once a trolley bridge that connected Sullivan's Island and Mount Pleasant and is a site for recreation and relaxation. One of the best views of the sunset over the Charleston Harbor!
Getting Around:
The Old Village is known for it's walking and biking accessibility, and there are so many great attractions close by. If you get your fill of walking, Uber and Lyft are readily available in the area to pick you up for a ride anywhere you need.
Historic Downtown Charleston is about a 5-10 car ride over the beautiful Arthur Ravenel Bridge, and is home to amazing shops and restaurants.
If you prefer a beach day, Sullivan's Island is a 7 minute car ride or 25 minute bike ride away. Grab some frose from the Co-Op or some BBQ from Home Team and experience the laid-back beach vibe of the beautiful 2.5 mile long barrier island.
