We've been renting homes along the South Carolina coast for 11 years now. This is by far the nicest. You can't beat the location, the only thing closer to the water would be a boat. It was clean (which actually is unusal for rentals) and provided us with everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of glassware, dishes, pots and pans, and utensils. Everything worked (again in many rentals this is unusual). We particularly enjoyed the elevator on arrival, no more schlepping groceries up the stairs! It is obvoius that Ron takes great pride in his place and wants to make sure his guests are comfortable. We had a lovely week here.

This house is amazing. It is so cozy and comfortable, with every modern convenience you could possibly ask for. Great house- I had a family of 5 and we all had so much room to spread out. The views from the deck are simply breathtaking. We saw so many dolphins swimming by and so close. The sunsets are incredible. Once you see one you will want to make sure you are on the back porch every night for them! We cooked in a lot and the kitchen is great and so much fun for several people to cook in because it is so large and well appointed. And yes, you can see the sunsets and the water from the kitchen! A cook's dream! The development offers everything from work out facilities, pools, tennis, golf, bike trails, running and walking trails to horseback riding. There is something for everyone! Having never visited the Charleston area, I was just amazed at every turn. This house is only a 30 minute drive to the heart of Charleston, which is a fantastic place to stroll, shop and eat. My family had such a wonderful time.....they are still talking about it and are anxious to visit again! Great house! Thank you!

This is the best beach location on Seabrook. We previously lived in Charleston, but had never visited Seabrook. The island is incredible, without a shortage of things to do. After riding bikes and exploring the island, this house is the closest to the beach. No driving was necessary to get to the club pool. The house is maintained very well and beautifully decorated (fits the beachfront- bright, airy!) We stayed with our 8 and 9 year old and had one of our most memorable vacations. We will definitely be back and staying in this house is a must! Waking up and falling asleep to the surf is priceless- if you don't stay here, you are missing out!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property very much. We have been visiting Seabrook for many years and this location was the best. The property lies right on the ocean with full view of the magnificent sunsets and dolphins. The interior was pretty and clean except for the coverings on the couch which had several stains from usage. Other than that everything was positive and just perfect. I would highly recommend this property.

My husband and I have been going to SBI for 15+ years and this summer staying at Ron and Diane's house made it seem like a wonderful new experience. We took my parents (their first visit to Seabrook) and our two daughters 5 3/4 and 2 1/2 year olds. We all had a blast. The house is comfortable with plenty of room and just the right touch of casual beach elegance with plenty of amenities to suite everyone (movies, music, beach toys,great kitchen for cooking in, etc). The beachfront location was incredible with gorgeous sunsets, dolphin watching and just sitting on the balcony anytime of day listening to the waves. The beach club and pools and golfing is all within walking distance and can't be beat!! We'd walk on the beach in the morning, go to the club for lunch or eat at the house and swim all afternoon and then back out on the beach in the evening after high tide. there is no inconvenience of getting all packed up, in a car, etc... you just walk from the house. Our 5-year old daughter went to the Seabrook Kids club everyday from 9 to noon and LOVED it and our littlest one loved going to see the horses and riding a pony when she wasn't running around on the beach, jumping in the waves or playing in the pool.. Seabrook is the perfect beach location where you can do as much or as little as you like. Charleston is an easy drive for a day trip or an evening date night and Fresh Fields Village has many activities during the week - concerts on the green, farmers market, etc, It was the perfect beach vacation and a home that can't be beat! Thanks Ron and Diane.

Excellent Property

We had a fabulous time at this property. After staying other places on Seabrook, we won't stay anywhere else now! There were 4 children ages 6 yo- 18 months, and it was very child friendly. The owners have made this very accomodating, and are a joy to work with.

This was a remarkable property and situated in a perfect location. The house is so lovely and well appoointed in every regard, full of charm and friendly luxury. The pool is excellent and perfect distance for families with young children. You have privacy and but very easy access to activities. The bike riding is fun on the Island and again family friendly. The nearest grocery is fabulous. The property was also perfect for my aging mother that was with us on the trip. Ron was an amazing host and attentive to every detail. You will be thrilled with this property, no hesitations.

We have stayed in this house 2 years and enjoyed both of them. It's wonderful being right on the beach. We see dolphins every day! The house is clean and well taken care of. We'll definitely be back!

Elegant, comforfortable, spacious, beautifully appointed home with a spectacular view of the ocean

This home was extremely inviting and comfortable ,from the large soft sectional in the living room that overlooks the ocean, to the luxurious, plush beds. All the bedspreads and sheets were soft cotton, the towels were thick and luxurious. The bedrooms were very spacious and the baths off each bedroom gave such a feeling of privacy. This homeowner maintained the same attention to detail as one might find in a 5 star hotel. The soft but bright colors gave such a feeling of contentment. The elevator directly up to the kitchen and sleeping areas made unloading and loading the car a breeze! We ate all our meals on the porch while watching dolphins swim playfully 6 feet from the shore. The sunsets from this porch was incredible! The sailboat races were not only beautiful but entertaining. The Seabrook Property has beautiful shaded biking trails, many excellent tennis courts, wonderful accomodating, gourmet groceries stores with prepared foods, and many great resturants closeby. Charleston is an easy drive if you want to visit a historic home or find great shopping. The owners were delightful and extremly helpful. I would go back to this tomorrow and would certainly recommend it to anyone as a perfect vacation retreat!

Owner response:I am so happy that you enjoyed our home. Come back again soon! Ron and Diane

Spring Break on Seabrook!

This was our fourth time visiting the island and Happy Ours is by far the best house with an unbeatable location! The house is perfect - roomy, comfortable, very nicely decorated, clean and well equipped - and the location makes it even better. When you walk in the front door and see the view of the ocean (that truly is right outside your back door) you feel like you are on a ship. The tall deck chairs were the perfect perch for reading, watching the sunset and just relaxing. The pools and golf course are super close (but not too close) and the new tennis center is a bike ride away. Ron, the owner called to make sure all was well when we arrived and he was easy to reach when we had questions. I cannot say enough good things about Happy Ours - we loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot on Seabrook!
