Featured Vendor Series: Get Carried Away

At Island Realty, we love to support other local businesses!

That's why it was such an easy decision to team up with a local company that strives to make your vacation as convenient as possible- Get Carried Away! Located just across the bridge in Mount Pleasant, Get Carried Away: Southern Market & Takeout strives to provide anything you could need on vacation and then some! From locally made gifts to freshly prepared snacks and frozen meals, it's a one-stop shop for anyone looking to make their vacation unforgettable!

A Bit of History

In 2002, Sassy and Brian Henry took a bet on moving their young family from Atlanta to Pawleys Island to become innkeepers and eventual proprietors of Sea View Inn. That bet turned out to be a winning gamble that they have parlayed into two other successful business ventures: Palmetto Cheese and Get Carried Away.

Over the last 12 years, Get Carried Away has expanded its footprint several times to accommodate new business and a growing customer base. After evaluating multiple locations to open a 2nd location for Get Carried Away, the Henrys settled on Mt Pleasant, SC. A space at Moultrie Plaza near Shem Creek became available in 2022 and they opened their doors in January 2024.

At Get Carried Away, the Lowcountry of South Carolina has always been home. Over the past 12 years, they have become a mainstay for prepared foods that can be joined on the beach, on the dock, or right at home. They even offer a selection of wines, craft beers, and an extensive collection of gifts and party items that you can only find at Get Carried Away Southern Market. Whether you are the guest of honor or the host with the most, they have everything you need to be the party hero

Not a fan of cooking on vacation? Browse freshly prepared foods (the shrimp salad sandwich is our personal favorite) and frozen meals to reheat later on. The seafood, history, and culture of South Carolina's low country influence what is prepared in their kitchen, so you are sure to get a taste of the famous Southern Cuisine without ever leaving home.

  • A carefully curated store filled with local goods and party supplies
  • Ready-to-eat foods ranging from Palmetto Cheese dip to fresh salads and sandwiches
  • Frozen take-and-bake meals for the family
