Beautiful Historic Southern home in excellent location~1 block from Main Street, a few blocks to Azalea park and conveniently close to major roads for visiting Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms beach, Sullivan's Island beach, and Charleston. Warm, kind and welcoming hosts who are readily available to assist with any and all guest questions.

Sweet Tea

My Fiancé and I have stayed at the Sweet Tea twice so far, and the next time we venture back to the Summerville/Charleston area we will more than like do our best to book here a third time! The location is so perfect to us, it is in its own cute little town where there is lots of life and food if that is what you’re looking for, but once you shut the door to your suite it is beyond peaceful! We love the convenience of having a full kitchen in the suite bc we often use one of our vacation days to just disconnect and relax! Over all the host of Sweet tea, the cleanliness, and the vibe are 10/10! We would highly recommend!

Baby Shower in Summerville

This property was charming and quaint. We loved the historical feel with all the modern amenities! The decorating of Sweet Tea is thought out and homey! What you see in the listing is honest and true. Really it is even better. Parking is right outside the door to your suite! We loved that we could walk to shops, restaurants, and church. We always felt safe and at home. Lauren was great with information on check-in. Summerville is a safe and friendly area that is also close enough to Charleston. This was my husband's first VRBO experience. He is sold!
