Sullivans Island is the quintessential in historic, Southern, island living.
The island is neatly positioned seven nautical miles to the north of
Historic Charleston. The island is easily accessible from Mount Pleasant
via the Ben Sawyer Bridge (SC Highway 703) or the Isle of Palms Connector
(SC Highway 517). Sullivans Island is home to nearly 2,000 residents.

The town was incorporated in 1817 as Moultrieville and later renamed
Sullivans Island. The island has no motels or B&Bs and has just a few
short-term rentals. The homes on Sullivans Island vary from classic
beach cottages to aesthetically pleasing new construction.

When you speak of Sullivans Island, one of the first things that comes
to mind, besides its sheer beauty, is the islands rich history. Sullivans
Island is home to historic Fort Moultrie. The fort boasts over 171 years
of history, from the early shots of the American Revolutionary War to
WWII protection from German U-boats. Sullivans Island was also, at
one-time, home to Edgar Allen Poe, which is where he penned the
classic The Gold Bug. These moments are but a snapshot of the rich
history of the island.

I encourage you to let me give you a tour of the island, and I will point
out some more of its history and beauty. Personally, I have spent many
summers on the island, which is why I understand the islands popularity.

Before the comfort of air conditioners, many Charlestonians would spend
their summers on the island enjoying the beach and cool summer breezes.

Today, Sullivans Island has added to its mix of natural enjoyments, great
restaurants, quaint bars, art shops, and a centrally located park
with basketball, tennis, soccer facilities and a childrens play park.
Spending time on the island is a real joy and truly calls one to
relax and slow down.

Home prices for the island have steadily risen over the past few years,
and most homes in 2010 are priced at $1 million and above. Many things
are desirable about Sullivans Island: the proximity to Charleston, the
world-class dinning and shopping in neighboring Mount Pleasant, average
island temperatures of 65 degrees and the draw of Southern living. These
features have helped propel Sullivans Island to a new level, which is
proving to be more and more appealing each year. I invite you to read
some of my other island facts and explore the rest of my web site.
