I have stayed on Sullivan’s Island multiple times, and this home is my favorite. It’s a beautiful place to relax and experience the calm of the island. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach every day. The home is also within walking distance to the local restaurants on the island. The host was so easy to work with and very responsive to any questions I had. It was just a lovely time.
