SULLIVAN'S ISLAND – The South Carolina coastal sea island town of Sullivan’s Island offers timeless charm and natural beauty that ranks it among the South’s most desirable addresses.  Noted for delightful homes on spacious lots, Sullivan’s Island has a wealth of historic residential properties, featuring heart pine tongue-and-groove paneling, turreted gazebos, and wrap-around porches.

 

A summertime escape for Charlestonians since colonial times, the fabled island was scene of the first great battle of the Revolution, and later inspired stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Many of the grand old beach houses are on half-acre lots surrounded by swaying myrtle and palmetto trees, yet there is plenty of new construction real estate as well, including geodesic-domed residences built for wind resistance.  Situated at the confluence of Charleston harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, Sullivan’s Island provides sensational views of the historic city, passing ships and sailboats, as well as scores of dolphins and shorebirds that frequent its shoreline
