Nothing short of amazing!

Our extended weekend on Sullivan's Island for our son's Charleston wedding was as close to perfect as we could have asked. The stage was set as we walked into the front door of "As Good As It Gets" and were awed by the ocean vista before us. Everything we needed (and more - including the candy jars!) was at our fingertips. None of us had ever stayed in a house so well equipped for cooking! We also recommend the local island bakery, Cafe Medley, for their delicious crumb coffee cake and quiches! If you are fortunate enough to get a reservation, dinner at Husk in downtown Charleston is a must!
In honor of Veteran's Day, Fort Moultrie, on the south end of the island, held a celebration including actors dresses in military costumes from each major war dating back to the Revolutionary War. So much to see and do! Some of our crowd had brought their bicycles to explore the island leisurely.
Every aspect of the home is thoughtfully and artistically appointed. As attractive as it appears in photos, the house is even more beautiful in reality. Our party representing NYC, DC, Germany, and NC, included six artists (painters/illustrator/photographer) each of whom thoroughly appreciated the beauty of the home environment. The furniture, inside and outside, is comfortable and generous. Everyone slept well - and if you really listen, the rythmic lapping of the waves at high tide will lull you to sleep.
We were busy with wedding activities throughout our stay and were able to conveniently travel to and from Charleston. The best part always was coming 'home' to our pristine and comfortable beach house. Watching the sun rise over the Atlantic and the dolphins play right out from the oceanside deck enchanted us all. The openness of the floor plan allowed for us all to move about never feeling crowded.
We would say to anyone considering a vacation in this area, this property lives up to its name. We look forward to the opportunity to visit again.
