There's something very cool about the Town of Sullivan's Island. It has a vibe that plays off the military history of the island, the organic feel of the beaches, and the largely local presence.
The island is home to approximately 2,000 residents, and there are few short-term rentals and no commercial lodging. It's not that the islanders don't like to share;
they just take pride in maintaining a relaxed lifestyle and pace altered more by the tides, less by the season. Sullivan's Island homes for sale are timeless and charming, perfect for a summertime escape.
