About this property

Duplex style townhome, upstairs are two bedrooms and Jack and Jill bath, downstairs - living room, dining area, kitchen and a powder room. Relax in the shaded, fenced patio.

Location, location, location... You will be minutes from plenty to do in and around Mount Pleasant, a suburb of Charleston. This neighborhood is perfect for a nice walk or bike ride. Going any direction will either lead you toward sandy beaches, marshy creeks, plenty of restaurants or the Ravenel Bridge which has an excellent view of the area.

Also located near the Old Village you will find The Old Bridge which used to link Sullivan's Island to Mount Pleasant during the Civil War era. This has been converted to a nice park and surrounded by the intercoastal waterway. Great location for fishing, crabbing, shrimping or watching the sun set over Charleston from the benches.

Restaurants on Shem Creek give you a taste of Charleston's finest seafood while watching the shrimp boats come in to dock or kayaks paddle on by. The old village Pitt Street area gives you a unique feeling of what Mt. Pleasant was when it spread out from Charleston onto the islands.

The house is minutes from Sullivan's Island, home of Fort Moultrie where the first shots of the civil war rang! You will be also about 3 miles from Patriot Point which is a Naval Wartime Museum (golf course across street).

In 5 minutes, you can also go to the Charleston visitors center downtown. You will see advertisements for all splendor Charleston and its surrounding areas have to offer in one location. There is just too much to list here...

Charleston may be a small town, but this city punches well above its weight. When you consider everything, it has to offer - history, culture, food, charm - it's no wonder the city has topped country's list of the best small cities in the U.S. for fifteen years running. Charleston's charm includes nationally recognized food and culture festivals, stately homes, cobblestone streets, waterfront views, and an abundance of flowering window boxes. Find a seat among its many outdoor terraces for a drink and some fresh oysters and try to resist the urge to up and move her.

If you want to be local to all things historic to contemporary, our house is the place to stay...Business license 20105257. STR permit ST240151

Perfect

Our host, Angela, was great at communicating throughout the entire process. She let it be known that we should feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns or advice on the area. The home was the perfect size for my adult day and I. We loved sitting out back and enjoying coffee/tea as we made plans for the day. Angela has anticipated most every need, so upon your arrival you can unpack, relax and decide what you may wish to do for staples and food. I appreciated all the little small extras such as a variety of teas and at least one refill of a garbage liner for each. The location is perfect as we were 15-20 minutes from downtown Charleston and 5-10 minutes from Isle of Palm and Sullivan’s Island. Thank you for your kindness and sharing your home with us.❤️

About the host

Hosted by Angela

Being the owner of an international company, I extensively traveled renting Bed and Breakfasts and hotels all around the world. However, we always preferred B&B because their local flavor, ability to rent spacious comfortable properties and meet hosts in various countries. Our favorite places are Capri and Amalfi Coast in Italy, San Sebastian in Spain, and Beaune, Provence, Bordeaux in France. Traveling we got a good inclination of what we value the most at vacation rentals and tried to implement this experience to our B&B.
After semi-retiring 5 years ago, we moved from Chicago to Charleston because we found it to be unique and one of our favorite cities for food, culture and southern charm. We will be happy to make your vacation as relaxing and fun as possible.
