A truly special oceanfront experience
Review Submitted: April 6, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2008
Our family rented oceanfront properties on Kiawah Island each year from 2001-2004 and first rented a property on Seabrook Island in summer 2006. With young children, we found that we much preferred the pool amenities and atmosphere on Seabrook and have returned each summer since. Last year, we rented this property for two weeks, and it was the best experience we have had in the Kiawah/Seabrook area for several reasons.
The property has spectacular ocean views from almost every room, so you never forget you are on vacation. Unlike with many attached properties in the area, grills are allowed. The brand new Weber grill on the deck was key to our dinner almost every night. Most properties on Seabrook and almost all on Kiawah require a drive, long walk, or bike ride to the beach. This can become quite difficult with small children, particularly if you have chairs, toys, etc. in tow. The ocean is steps away from this villa, and there is an outdoor shower outside the front door.
We generally spend our late afternoons on Seabrook at The Beach Club, which has pools, ocean views, food/drinks, and twice-weekly live music. We were able to walk to The Beach Club, even with our very small children. Again, no car or bike is necessary. When the tide is low, you can walk down the beach to The Beach Club in minutes.
Many of the beach club villas on Seabrook are not truly 3 bedroom, but rather two bedrooms plus an open loft space with sleeping arrangements. The lofts are not a good fit for children that go to sleep earlier than the parents. This villa has three true bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The upstairs pull-out sofa has convenient access to the master bath.
Other pluses of the villa include clean, wonderfully comfortable, and updated accommodations and full-sized washer and dryer.
The villa is extremely comfortable, and the owners genuinely care about the experiences of their renters. We are returning for two weeks this summer, and we highly, highly recommend this property.

Owner's Response: We are so thrilled that our little bit of paradise is becoming part of our guests fond memories of time together at "the beach house." It is truly a peaceful and renewing place.
