I was awestruck by the beauty, exclusiveness, and privacy that Seabrook Island offers. I was skeptical at first having never been in the Charleston area before, but I plan on returning each year from now on.
Seabrook Island is gorgeous -- lovely, well-maintained homes and communities. Everyone is friendly. The beach is wonderful. There were some families there each day, but we were able to find our own area (crowding is never an issue). The guard at the gate gave us an island map upon arrival and with it, we were able to get wherever we needed to go.
This condo is perfect! Clean, well-maintained and stocked with everything we could have needed (cookware, washer/dryer, towels, etc.). I stayed here with my two children (ages 10 and 15) and it was the perfect size for the three of us. The screened porch was my favorite spot - I enjoyed coffee and my book there each morning. The pool is very close by and is also very nice and well-kept. The owner of this property sent me a very detailed e-mail of information about the island and her favorite spots to shop, beach access, etc. which turned out to be so helpful to us. Additionally, she deposited my check exactly when she said she would.
We spent our days at the beach which I previously mentioned was wonderful. There was so much wildlife there - hermit crabs abound much to the pleasure of my 10 year old child. Each evening, we drove (20 minutes or so) into Charleston for dinner and activities. It wasn't a long drive at all and was well worth it. Downtown Charleston has so much to offer and is gorgeous beyond words.
The only thing that I disliked about the area was the local grocery store (I think it was called "Newton Farm" in the Freshfields Market center), which was *very expensive*, crowded, and not very well-stocked with items that I normally purchase at my home. The next time I visit, I will do my shopping at the Piggly Wiggly before I come onto the island.
Overall, I was so very pleased both with the owner of this property and the property itself. My children are already asking if we can go back!
