Sarah's Coastal Cottage - Shem Creek 🛶, Sullivan's Island 🏖, and Charleston ⛪️

Located in a true Southern neighborhood with palmetto trees and live oaks, this charming one-level brick home is perfect for a family getaway to the beach, exploring the amazing history of Charleston, or enjoying the charm of Mt. Pleasant. The waterfront, marshes, and beach are only a short bike ride away (bikes are available to use!). The home accommodates up to 6 adults and 2 children, with off-street parking for two vehicles.

This lovely 4 bedroom (3 + private FROG room upstairs) ranch-style brick home has been completely upgraded in the last few years, and the space is perfectly suited for 6 adults or a family (sleeps 8 total). Spend time in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee on the patio or stretched out with the paper on the over-sized sofa in the living room. Sullivan's Island, downtown Charleston, or Mt. Pleasant's Shem Creek area are all just minutes away!

Our home is a permitted short-term rental through the City of Mount Pleasant. Our permit number is ST240205 and our business license number is 20122584.

Home was well appointed with basics to get started (toiletries, detergent, etc.). Close to nearby restaurants, shops and beaches. Cleanliness was fair and some elements of the home could use updating.

Perfect for our baseball/beach vacation
Really enjoyed staying at Sarah’s cottage. Was perfect for our family as we had 3 couples. The room above the garage was fantastic for our teenager so he could have a dedicated space to himself. Kitchen well equipped with everything you could want for cooking. *suggestions include a drying rack for suits and towels and maybe a small vacuum to allow tenants to do a quick cleanup.

Fishing weekend
This property suited our needs well, for a family fishing weekend, with the boat. There was room in the driveway for vehicle and trailer, which was one of our main reasons for choosing it. The location was perfect for everything related to the stay, and to boat ramps, etc.

Comfortable, convenient, clean and modern
Those adjectives are all of what I'm looking for in a vacation rental and Harborgate Shores fulfilled all. We were in Charleston for a family wedding and the location and all other aspects of the property were perfect for my two sons, my four year old twin grandsons and me. Beaches, close to Charleston, and all our relatives. Perfect! Outr host couldn't have been more responsive and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay.
