Beautiful Stay!

Jill and the Ford Cottage did not disappoint! What a beautiful home. Our family had a great time exploring Sullivans Island and Charleston and then returning each evening for a relaxing walk on the beach and time on the screened in porch! Thank You!

Beautiful spot on the beach

The Ford cottage is wonderfully decorated and equipped. Access to the beach is a few steps out of the door and the basement area has showers to get the sand off before getting back into the house. Our favorite part was the expansive back veranda with a view to the sea that you can enjoy any time of day.

Lovely, Charming Cottage

We loved our stay and want to come back soon! We were a 2 block walk to all the restaurants on Sullivans, and close to the Boardwalk that led to the Beach! The house was built in the 1908 so it has lots of charm...and a great screened in porch with rocking chairs and hammocks.....thee kind of porch you do not want to leave.
