Charleston was founded in 1670, which makes it one of the most historic cities in our nation. 1111 Middle Street on Sullivan’s Island has been a part of Charleston’s history for just over 150 years! Constructed around 1860 (owned by the same family for 125 years) and featured in the National Historic Register, 1111 Middle Street is one of the most special and unique homes your family will ever spend a vacation!

Located near Fort Moultrie, this property was central to the defense of Charleston during the War of 1812, the first shots of the War Between the States, and the sinking of U-Boats during World War Two. During the Cold War, the conning towers of nuclear submarines would silently pass this spectacular home after being armed at the Naval Base. Even today, from the sizable screen porch your family will be able to see the coming and going of hulking container ships, cruise ships, and the Charleston Shrimp Fleet as they navigate the channel between Sullivan’s Island and Fort Sumter. From sunsets over Charleston’s Church Steeples, to the imperious Cooper River Bridge, 1111 Middle Street offers one of the most special vistas of Historic Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean since the early 1800’s.

1111 Middle Street has many features of the property that preserve its special history. The property owner’s steps at preservation have made the home highly charming. Even Hollywood has recognized the uniqueness of this home and featured it in the movie “Dear John”! History lives both inside and outside of 1111 Middle Street. The interior features historic wood floors and walls with four bedrooms and two full baths. Smoking and candles are prohibited to preserve this striking home.
Two bedrooms are located upstairs and feature harbor vistas. The downstairs master bedroom opens onto the oceanfront porch. The living room and dining area also open to the screened porch. The preservation of this home prevents it from featuring a central heating and cooling system. It is closed during the winter season and air conditioning is supplied with window cooling units. Also, in keeping with the historic nature of the home, only a single TV is featured. The enormous screen porch is where your family will spend most of their time when not on the beach. It is wide with marvelous vistas and is charmingly positioned to capture the southwest winds during the summer months making it comfortable despite the heat.

A short private path takes you down to a peaceful beach that changes in size based on the Charleston tides.

Tips to get the perfect Sullivan's Island vacation home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Sullivan's Island area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Sullivan's Island vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Sullivan's Island area:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Charming Historic Cottage + Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Sullivan's Island attraction you are enamored with, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
