1019 Middle St, Sullivans Island, SC 29482

Neighborhood Description A SUDDEN rainstorm signals an early lunch hour, and beachgoers head off the expansive stretch of sand toward the center of town. The main drag, all three blocks of it, includes a Kangaroo Express gas station, Dr. Durst's clinic, a day spa and a handful of restaurants including Bert's Bar, a local pub with the motto "If it hurts, go to Bert's." Across the street, inside Poe's Tavern, known for its burgers and fish tacos, the scene is unhurried and casual, with shorts and T-shirts favored over button-down shirts and slacks. UNLIKELY as it may seem, this is also the location of some of the most luxurious second-home real estate in the country - right up there with Aspen, Nantucket, Palm Beach and the Hamptons. MIDDLE STREET, once a trolley route, runs the length of the island. Residents cruise around in golf carts even though there is no golf course. The beach has no restrooms, lifeguards or parking lots.
