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.

Getting the best value:

• In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early.
