The beach is within 10 miles, and we provide a free beach pass for your car. And we've just dropped the price for August-Sept. 1 occupancy! Spacious, recently built home near St. Helena Island with private deep-water dock, lots of decks, and plenty of modern, up-to-date living and entertaining area for family and friends. This gracious home spreads over 6.5 acres and has no neighbors in viewing range, water on three sides, and over a hundred mature palms.
One of several properties used in the filming of the movie Forrest Gump, Innisfree-by-the-Sea is convenient to Parris Island, Hunting Island beaches, the Gullah culture Center on St. Helena Island, as well as the shops, historic waterfront, homes, and outstanding restaurants of downtown Beaufort.
Air access is five minutes away at Beaufort County Airport. Parris Island is 12 minutes away. Beaufort is 8 miles, Hunting Island 10 miles away. You are also within about an hour’s drive of Charleston, Savannah, Bluffton Outlets shopping and Hilton Head Island.
Best of all, you can bring your boat and be within 250 feet (the length of our dock) of all the crabbing, shrimping, fishing and boating you want in this location 17 naut. mi. from the Atlantic Ocean, and 6 naut. mi. from the Intracoastal Waterway near St. Helena Sound.
My wife says our island home is the closest thing to a South Seas island you can get on this side of the world. From the huge master bath with jetted tub where you’re surrounded with palms, to the gorgeous sunrise views over the back deck, you’ll glory in nature here. You’ll see many varieties of egrets and herons; white, blue, green, hanging out on the dock jutting into the tributary of the Morgan River.
You’ll be tempted to view their antics with binoculars all morning, until you see dolphin playing in the currents, arching gracefully as if inviting you to play, to see more. Grab the furnished crab trap and bait it with last night’s dinner leftovers to catch tonight’s dinner (crab pot and spices supplied in a large modern kitchen with plenty of freezer space).
Plan your day sitting around a large tile and wood table in a breakfast area with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the water, or in any of the well-furnished rooms in this home. Living and dining rooms and bedrooms feature hardwood floors, and the two modern baths with water jet tubs use broad tile flooring, as does the large, fully furnished kitchen and eating area. Two queen beds and two twin beds feature fine cotton sheets; towels are luxurious.
We can accommodate families or groups on vacation or graduation or other important events. Whether for a large group or for a quiet getaway or a honeymoon, Innisfree-by-the-Sea is a beautiful setting straight from chamber of commerce pictures of Low Country living.
The end of your day at Innisfree-by-the-Sea will find you watching the sunset over the shrimpboat docked up the river. If you've brought kids, they'll be worn out from swinging on the porch swing or the tall rope swings from two limbs of a live oak tree, playing games, or trying to count all the palm trees. You'll see why we love our home here, and want to share it with you. |
