General overview
We live in a traditional "Charleston Single" home in the neighboring town of Mount Pleasant, SC. We are close to the beaches of Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island, as well as the Wando River where we often go boating. We are in a master planned community with a pool, tennis courts, rec fields, playgrounds, and everything is golf cart-able (including restaurants, nail salons, grocery stores, etc). We are also very close to a number of golf courses! The absolute best part of living here though is being able to hop over to downtown Charleston and experience the beauty, history, and BEST FOOD EVER.
Charleston has been voted the #1 travel destination in the U.S. for years and we’d love to share it with people from all over the world.
Note, it is approx 25 min to downtown and the beaches. Pretty standard drive around here bc of all the waterways!
The space
Our home is 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bath. Open floor plan between kitchen and living room. Screened in porch with pond/woods view. And for families we have LOTS of toys! Our house sleeps 6 but can easily fit more kids. Details are below:
Master Bedroom: Downstairs, King Bed, attached bathroom, TV
Bedroom #2: Upstairs, Queen Bed, attached bathroom, doubles as an office (desk)
Bedroom #3: Upstairs, kids room, 2 twin loft beds (we’ve made up beds underneath though to sleep 4 kids)
Bedroom #4: Upstairs, currently is a playroom, air mattress is available if needed
Another full bathroom is upstairs.
Screened in porch with pond/trees view
Guest access
2 floors, Master bedroom is on the first floor.
Notes
Things to Do in Charleston:
- Go to the beach (3 to choose from). We have good beaches for littles with tide pools as well as beaches for surfing and kite surfing! Grab a Frose on the way!
- Take a Horse Carriage tour of historical downtown Charleston. The city is BEAUTIFUL, colorful, and full of history!
- SOUTHERN FOOD! Shrimp and grits, oysters, fried chicken, biscuits, bread pudding, etc. We also have some of the best restaurants (non-southern food) in the U.S. We have tons of recommendations if needed.
- Take a boat trip to Ft Sumter where the civil war began. See the harbour and learn something too!
- Attend a Riverdogs minor league baseball game. The team is owned by BILL MURRAY and the games are SO FUN!
- Golf one of the world famous golf courses in our area! My husband can provide you a 3 page list lol!
- Visit a plantation and learn about its history. Boone Hall Plantation is right down the street and is where Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively got married (and me and my husband too!)
- Attend the Charleston Food and Wine Festival held here every year. It is hugely popular and people come from all over the world to check out this event.
- In months ending in "R", go to an Oyster Roast. A gathering with strangers to enjoy oyster clusters and listen to live music!
- Take a walk over the Ravenel Bridge from Mount Pleasant to Charleston and see the beautiful views!
- Tour the U.S.S. Yorktown aircraft carrier
- Attend a match at the Charleston Open and see the world's best female tennis players. I have run into Serena Williams (a few years ago) a couple of times!
- Fish from a dock, maybe you'll catch a sheepshead!
- Additionally around town we have mini-golf, go-carts, water park, ropes courses, trampoline park, movie theaters, aquarium, children's museum, etc
Lastly, our town is close to many other great places to visit including...Savannah (2 Hours), Myrtle Beach (1.5 Hours), Orlando (6 Hours), and Asheville (4 Hours)!

Hi! My family resides in Mount Pleasant, SC, right next to downtown Charleston and the Atlantic Ocean. We love to travel and want to show our almost 6 yo twins the world. When we aren't traveling we are usually boating, beaching, building legos, or exploring the history, culture, and most importantly the FOOD in Charleston!
Our hometown is so special and is repeatedly awarded the #1 city in the U.S. by Condé Nast and Travel & Leisure magazine. We would like people from all over the world to come check it out!
