Charleston was founded in 1670, which makes it one of the most historic cities in our nation. 1111 Middle Street on Sullivan’s Island has been a part of Charleston’s history for just over 150 years! Constructed around 1860 (owned by the same family for 125 years) and featured in the National Historic Register, 1111 Middle Street is one of the most special and unique homes your family will ever spend a vacation!

Located near Fort Moultrie, this property was central to the defense of Charleston during the War of 1812, the first shots of the War Between the States, and the sinking of U-Boats during World War Two. During the Cold War, the conning towers of nuclear submarines would silently pass this extraordinary home after being armed at the Naval Base. Even today, from the sizable screen porch your family will be able to see the coming and going of hulking container ships, cruise ships, and the Charleston Shrimp Fleet as they navigate the channel between Sullivan’s Island and Fort Sumter. From sunsets over Charleston’s Church Steeples, to the imperious Cooper River Bridge, 1111 Middle Street offers one of the most special vistas of Historic Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean since the early 1800’s.

1111 Middle Street has many features of the property that preserve its special history. The property owner’s steps at preservation have made the home highly charming. Even Hollywood has recognized the uniqueness of this home and featured it in the movie “Dear John”! History lives both inside and outside of 1111 Middle Street. The interior features historic wood floors and walls with four bedrooms and two full baths. Smoking and candles are prohibited to preserve this gorgeous home.
Two bedrooms are located upstairs and feature harbor vistas. The downstairs master bedroom opens onto the oceanfront porch. The living room and dining area also open to the screened porch. The preservation of this home prevents it from featuring a central heating and cooling system. It is closed during the winter season and air conditioning is supplied with window cooling units. Also, in keeping with the historic nature of the home, only a single TV is featured. The huge screen porch is where your family will spend most of their time when not on the beach.

Finding the best Charleston area rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Charming Historic Cottage + Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available online. If not, reach out to the host before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Charleston area attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. Call the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
