A Touch of Paradise

My family and I have visited this villa several times over the last few years, and have found the villa and the setting to be a touch of paradise. Natural light pours in through many large sliding doors and windows offering spectacular ocean views from sunup in the East to sunset on the horizon of the Southwest. My vacation photos include many images of both as I am an early riser and enjoy early walks on the fresh sand as the sun is coming up. When I return to the villa, there is nothing that says comfort like a cup of morning coffee on the porch as I just listen to the sound of the ocean. I also enjoy the breathtaking colors of the sunset which can be viewed through the south windows of the Master bedroom or the porch, which can be accessed from each room. The porch is spacious and wraps around the unit in an "L-shape" facing the ocean----a great place to entertain friends or neighbors. The sounds of the waves and scents of the ocean breeze bring peace and tranquility to a natural setting of island life, offering ancient gnarled oak trees, untouched sea oats and grasses, sea life such as turtles, birds, crabs, and an occasional alligator, and pristine beaches far removed from the hectic pace of everyday life. This is truly a place to get away! In addition, the unit is spacious, high quality, beautifully decorated and maintained spotlessly. Since I have visited for years, I know the furnishings have been updated many times and are current with decorating trends. Every creature comfort has been provided, including a completely functional kitchen and dishes and serving pieces for entertaining, even if it is "just family". We have enjoyed fine dining, swimming, golf, tennis, parasailing, boating, crabbing, fishing, bike riding, and other activities. Horseback riding is available, although we have not done this 'yet'!! We also love going to Charleston, viewing historical sites, shopping at the "market", and visiting area plantations and wineries. Rosebank Farms is nearby and offers fresh fruits, vegetables and other treat. In short, we could live at this unit on Seabrook Island and hope to return many times! The owners have been delightful to work with and clearly put great effort into ensuring a pleasing experience for all who visit their "home away from home".
