Found at the western end of Sullivan’s Island, this condo is in a cottage built by the US government in approximately 1913. The cottage served as housing for enlisted female nurses that served at Camp Moultrie Hospital.
Our 2nd floor unit has the best views on Sullivans Island while optimizing privacy. Watch large vessels that enter and exit the harbor pass silently by the front yard. Dolphins can be seen swimming by most days. And look across the water to Fort Sumter- where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The views are truly magical. The beach is lovely and generally only occupied by the small number of residents and visitors at the western end of the island. The cottage is situated right next door to historic Fort Moultrie which has many acres of lightly used grounds and paths that make for what seems like a private park. The beach going east is undeveloped for over a mile as the maritime forest and trails make for a mostly barren area. Walking west of the cottage you will see historic island homes, views of Ft. Sumter, downtown Charleston and the Ravenel Bridge. This quiet street and peaceful space is perfectly suited for young families and empty nesters. This is your opportunity to enjoy one of the few beachfront condo rentals on Sullivan's Island.

Restaurants and nightlife options are a short distance from the condo. Grocers and pharmacies can be found right over the bridge in Mount Pleasant.
If you love golf, tennis or pickle ball, there are courses and courts available.
Smart TV and wireless internet will keep you connected while away from home. You will also find books and games for your entertainment.
Enjoy the outdoor spaces as much as possible! There are front and back porches, a large, shared yard and plenty of seating at the edge of the dunes. ***Licensed rental by Town of Sullivan’s Island

    We loved this property! The inside was clean and charming, and it was easy to feel at home. The deck overlooking the beach was incredible, and we spent many hours out there enjoying our morning coffee, enjoying a good book and just taking in the warm breezes and beautiful views. Also, it was just a mile walk to the cluster of excellent pubs and restaurants at the center of the island. Truly an unforgettable experience!

    We loved every minute during our stay. The porch was heaven- perfect for watching dolphins, reading, or just relaxing. It made a rainy beach day all the better. We also loved the history of this property and the close proximity to Fort Moultrie for walking. Everything inside was cozy, clean, and oh so charming. Neighbors were kind, and Katherine was an amazing host.

    Wonderful location right on the beach and in a quiet location of Sullivan's Island. You can tell the building is very old which is mostly ok. The kitchen tile is obviously completely broken apart which is why a large throw rug is covering it. It would be nice if that was replaced. Also had some palmetto bugs (cockroaches) appear in the kitchen the first night. After spraying and ensuring no food left out, never had another issue. The deck was a nice shady place to enjoy the ocean breeze. We would stay here again.

    This is a perfect location for a fishing getaway. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach. Bring a flashlight to explore the beach at night. So many amazing critters to see. There are so many beautiful shells but all were inhabited by a hermit crab. We would love to stay there again !!

    If you’re dreaming of a cozy cottage vibe on a peaceful island, this is the place. This charming condo was the perfect home base for our small family as we explored the historic sights of Charleston. It was clean, well maintained, and filled with the relaxed charm of a beachside cottage.The porch was our favorite spot to unwind. We spent hours watching boats pass through Charleston Harbor with Fort Sumter in the distance. Even though there is public beach access right next to the condo, it never felt crowded or noisy, which was a pleasant surprise.Everything worked just as it should. The air conditioner kept us comfortable despite the nearly 100-degree heat. Having a washer and dryer on hand made things so convenient for our family. The host was kind and responsive to any questions we had. We felt completely at home and would absolutely stay here again.

    The porch view of the beach and ocean was breathtaking! Having coffee breakfast, and reading on the pitch were the highlights of our trip. Pros: Comfortable beds and furniture.Beautful relaxing view from front porchResponsive hostYou can take your dog on the beach with a permit. Cons,;There was a very strong smell of some type of deodorizer that was overbearing. It aggravated my allergies. The host thought it was scented trash bags. That wasn't it and my clothes came home smelling like it, as well my dogs fur.Next to public access to the beach, so could be noisy at times. Outlet in the kitchen didn't work for microwave.Large rugs were not clean. My small dog was aggressively approached by large dogs twice on the beach because people didn't follow the leash rules. She was almost burn and one dog jumped on me multiple times trying to get to her after I picked her up. That is not the hosts fault. Just be cautious if you take a small dog on the beach. It almost ruined my stay.

    Shocked to see condition of unit - was told it was quaint but it was SHABBY. Bathroom very old and small. Shower was too high so it wet my hair as I couldn’t get away from the water. Very slippery shower and floor got wet every time shower was on. However, beds were comfortable. TVwas hard to operate too. I won’t be returning to this rental

    Location can’t be beat. Perfect stay in a historic building right by Fort Moultrie, right on the beach. Two huge porches provide extra living and dining spaces. Beach on this end of the island is quiet and still retains its rugged natural beauty. Tons of birds and dolphins to watch while you enjoy your morning coffee. We felt this was the best unit in the building. Wishing this trip could never end!

    We stayed in this attractive apartment several times pre-pandemic, only to find it superficially maintained on our return: windows were dirty; sills either painted shut or filled with bugs; no bedroom fan remote to be found; back porch couch broken; fridge door shelves removed; front porch pillows dirty; shower curtain leaked; no soap in bath or kitchen; worn pots and pans; no bar in shower; chipped china; toilet seat unsecured; ice maker broken; outside stairs rickety — should have two rails; gate stuck; kitchen floor tiles missing, broken; exterior and interior paint flaking. With more attentive maintenance, Unit 4 could be restored to its original charming condition. Sadly, we won’t be back. showercushions dirty

    We visited during a rather cold week, but were pleased to find that the unit had comfortable beds, great heating, and plenty of hot water. The unit is small but well- equipped, and in warmer weather the front and back porches would provide additional living space. Katherine was responsive to our questions in a timely manner, and made us feel welcome. Nearly ten blocks from shops and restaurants but could be walkable in warmer weather. We would definitely consider returning.
