According to the listing, “Sullivan’s Island has one of the closest boat ramps to the Harbor and residents get priority membership. SI Elementary School is an award-winning BEACHFRONT public school, can you imagine growing up with that? The Town Park is famous for the big mound where children slide down on it on makeshift sleds. Great views up there too! Hidden behind it is a little fishing dock. Not to mention the tennis and basketball courts and playgrounds. Historic Fort Moultrie is a great way to spend a day learning about the historical significance of the island and embark on a boat tour of Fort Sumter. The quaint business district of Sullivan’s Island is one of the most popular coastal towns for dining and fun. You’ll love being able to take your bicycle down the street for ice cream or social hour. And don’t forget about the convenience of the island being the closest barrier island to downtown Charleston.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Make it yours and start living the low country dream.
