Feel a piece of history in this elegantly maintained townhome on Sullivan's Island - one of six historic luxury residences in the Bachelor Officers' Quarters property on Station 18. This building constructed in 1900 is just a stone's throw from the beach and the famed Sullivan's Island lighthouse. Located on one of the Island's oldest lanes and shaded by live oaks, The Officer's Quarters is one of the few historic condominium structures in the low country.

This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath property is an exceptional opportunity to be within one block of the ocean and also to appreciate a pool with the other units (not used very often!). The private pool is surrounded by a stone patio, outdoor furnishings for sunbathing, community grille, gas lamps and a landscaped lawn fenced for privacy.

Station 18 is also within painless walking distance to parks with tennis and basketball courts and playgrounds; the business district with post office, eateries, ice cream and shopping; Ft. Moultrie; churches; and more.

MAIN LEVEL -From the enormous southern porch, walk up to the main level where you'll savor a completely outfitted galley kitchen with a dining area, a comfortable sitting area with a 60-inch flat screen TV and a half-bath, and a master bedroom with a master bathroom that has a whirlpool tub and cavernous walk-in shower. The main sitting area and the master bedroom open to a terrific balcony with a sitting area and dining table. Watch the sun rise over the ocean in the morning and set behind the marsh in the afternoon.

The main living space also contains the washer/dryer and storage.

UPSTAIRS – Walk upstairs to enjoy two bedrooms with a full and a queen-sized bed and a full bathroom. This area is great for additional guests, to load the kids into (there is a TV, a futon, and additional seats), or to make your office if working remotely (there is a worktable, additional monitor and great wifi).

This home is pet friendly. Dogs are considered with a $400 pet fee (per pet), applicable pet policy signed, and flea proof records received prior to arrival. Dog must be approved by Carroll Realty. Absolutely no cats or other animals are allowed. Any damages caused by the pet will be charged to the pet owner, and not paid by the pet fee.

Sullivan's Island requires a minimum 29-nighttime stay. Pack your bags and enjoy an extended vacation, even if having to work from home! The owner has equipped the place with many extras and we will provide all the essentials you need to be more than comfortable for a long and calming stay.

ALL BED LINENS, KITCHEN TOWELS, AND BATH TOWEL SETS ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE!!

Tips to get the very best Charleston area vacation home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Charleston area area. To book the best rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Charleston area restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Charleston area rental:

• Select vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Historic Captain's Quarters on Sullivan's! Unique Opportunity to Vacation in a Piece of History! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
