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 center 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 impressive home after being armed at the Naval Base. Even today, from the enormous 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 beautiful. 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 handsome 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 sizable screen porch is where your family will spend most of their time when not on the beach. It is wide with fantastic vistas and is attractively positioned to capture the southwest winds during the summer months making it comfortable despite the heat.

A short private path takes you down to a peaceful beach that changes in size based on the Charleston tides. Beachside Vacations is so proud to offer you the opportunity to relive history in this really extraordinary home that has been watching over Charleston for 150 years.

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Charleston area area. Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Charleston area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Charleston area area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group select trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Historic Sullivans Oceanfront-Feat. in Hollywood Movie! Relax Beachfront Watching CHS Harbor! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct 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 comments.
