Photos and Description of the Sullivans Island vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)

Beautiful two-bedroom oceanfront cottage apartment with unbelievable second floor views and next-door to historic Fort Moultrie.

This is the best small vacation spot you'll find. The views from the second floor porch, bedroom and living area are unbelievable. The historic Fort Moultrie property and a large maritime forest extend for over a mile up the beach making for a seemingly deserted island during walks and runs. We have a birds-eye view of every boat that passes through the harbor whether it's a cruise ship, sailing ketch or shrimp boat.

Fishing out front is good and you're almost always guaranteed to see lots of bottle-nose dolphins. Swimming right of the rock jetty is good as we have a gentle slope with small, lapping waves.

You can walk up the beach in the morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean and then sit out front in our Adirondack chairs to see spectacular sunsets over the harbor and the steeples of old Charleston.

Our place is a 100 year-old Southern beach cottage that was built to house Army Corps nurses prior to WWI. While totally updated and in great condition, we've made sure to preserve the old beach cottage charm. It's wonderfully decorated but is all about comfort.

We have lots of books for reading and napping. Much to our chagrin, we also have wireless internet, cable, DVD and an iPod ready CD player. We are literally next door to historic Fort Moultrie that is now a very uncrowded National Park but played an integral role in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI and WWII.

Sullivan's Island is not a tourist town. It is a beautiful and quaint village island. It's mostly made up of full time residents. It is very safe and family friendly. You can bicycle down to the town center for great restaurants with outdoor dining, playgrounds, tennis, basketball, beach volleyball, galleries and a small grocery store. Lots of folks think of Sullivan's Island as "Mayberry by the Sea".

Dear Keith,

Just a note to tell you how much we enjoyed our visit at Sullivan's Island in your cottage. The cottage was just perfect for us. It was decorated so well, and equipped with everything we could need. There were so many things to look at inside the cottage, and it was a very comfortable place and good location. And yes, the views! We loved the front porch, its views, and the beach. It was also nice to have the back porch, too! You could stand in the kitchen and still see the ocean. You could lie in bed and see the sun rise and the waves crash. We spent time in Mt. Pleasant with family, but appreciated the cottage so much on our return. I believe we left it in the same good condition as when we arrived.

Thanks for everything!

We have already booked for next year! What a wonderful location and the accommodations are clean, bright,comfortable and "low country". It has been 35 years since I last visited Sullivan's and it was every bit as wonderful as I remembered. We enjoyed the local restaurants, seafood market and the Tuesday local farmer's market in Mt. Pleasant. Our host was very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks for a great time!

This is a terrific unit in a great part of the Island. Very comfortable space in great condition and everything was in order for our arrival. Porch looks out towards the water and a perfect breeze blew for our entire week. Sat out there for hours. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Definitely plan to return. Thanks again.

We just returned from a week at this picturesque cottage on Sullivan's Island. It was our first trip to Charleston and we love it. Sullivan's Island is a peaceful place off most tourist radar. We loved the front porch and view of Fort Sumter and Charleston across the Cooper River. it was a perfect location to launch our kayaks for trips into the inlet and around to Sullivan Island lighthouse. I already miss my early morning beach walks, the ocean breeze and ship trafic. We visited Fort Sumter, Boone Hall Plantation, shopped in Charleston, enjoy local Gullah fare and rode the waves at Folly Beach. We hope to visit soon.

35 year anniversary celebration

5 of 5
Submitted: May 28, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
This property is a charming unit with a fantastic front porch! We went into Charleston only one day of or week because we could not stand to be away from the porch, ocean, and beach. Ship traffic was constant and "ship watching" is one of our very favorite pastimes. The sunrises and sunsets were picture perfect. The landlord is a charming man, well versed in island history and all things local. Poe's restaurant is a great burger. We celebrated our 35th anniversary with dinner at Station 22. The food was very good and presentation was beautiful. We will make plans to return soon. Wondo Seafood market, recommended by our landlord, was an excellent place for fresh seafood.

Owner's Response: Thank you Cris and Theona. I am blessed to somehow attract the nicest and most interesting guests; this lovely couple from the mountains of Tennessee was no exception. My guests become cherished friends.
Everyone seems to fall in love with the views from the porch. Even I never get tired of watching the boats, birds and dolphins from the porch. It's therapeutic.
