Seabrook Island is a private gated community located 23 miles from historic Charleston, SC. With ancient live oaks, towering palms, and abundant wildlife, the island is a beautiful retreat for vacationing. The lack of commercial development and hotels keeps the island quiet and pristine. Still, there is plenty to do. The beach is wide, clean, and three miles long. Dolphin frolick in the waters just off-shore. Deer are plentiful on the island and are frequently spotted while walking or driving around.
The Seabrook Island club has recently completed a full renovation of its facilites and now features a beautiful new beach club with two swimming pools and an oceanside bar and restaurant (seasonally, as it is outdoors). The golf club is now located within the Island House, a beautifully appointed new facility across the street from the beach club with many terraced seating areas, a lounge, restaurant, and meeting space. There are also tennis and equestrian facilties. During the summer numerous organized activities are offered, and live entertainment occurs several nights of the week. AMENITY CARDS FOR ACCESS TO THE CLUB ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR RENTAL RATE!
Just off the island you will find numerous restaurants ranging from pizza and burgers to fine dining. At Freshfields Village, located just outside the Seabrook Island gate, is a full-service grocery store, many specialty shops, Starbucks, beach/surf shops, and a pharmacy. Also nearby are a wonderful produce stand with locally grown vegetables and freshly caught seafood, Bohicket Marina with boat rentals and tours, restaurants and additional shops.
No trip to Seabrook would be complete without a day of sight-seeing in Charleston. This historic city boasts beautiful antebellum homes, wonderful dining, numerous sightseeing tours, antique shops, and golf courses. We have assembled a guidebook with information about area attractions, including driving directions. You might wish to peruse the book while relaxing on the porch with a refreshing drink!

Map & Owner's Profile
Remodeled Summerwind with Wi-Fi, Bikes, Club Amenities & More!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Summerwind Cottages
For years we vacationed at beaches, enjoying rentals in many locations along the east coast. We casually looked for a place to call our own, but didn't find an area that we loved enough to want to visit over and over again. That changed with our first visit to Seabrook. So many things about the island appealed to us: the lack of commercial development, the abundance of nature, the cleanliness of the beaches, the obvious pride of ownership from those living on the island, and the club facilities. We can do as little or as much as we wish during our stays at Seabrook. We love it so much, we plan to retire on Seabrook.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Because Seabrook is a private, gated island with little traffic or commercial development, we find it possible to give the children more freedom to bike and enjoy their friends without being with them at all times. We love to go "deer hunting Seabrook style", which means that we put down the seats in the SUV, leave the back open, and drive slowly along the roads at dusk to see how many deer we can spot. We've also counted bobcats and fox during our drives. We love to start the day with a long walk to the point at North Beach to watch the dophin swim and look for shells. The kids love to walk down to the beach club for a frozen drink or burger. During any week-long stay we enjoy a beach bonfire, watch the sunset, and share hotdogs and s'mores. These are experiences we will always cherish, and they aren't available at just any beach!
Located on the point between the Atlantic Ocean and Edisto River, the club features pools, a restaurant, bar, activities, lounge chairs, and more overlooking the ocean.
The Island House includes the golf pro shop, driving range, Bohicket's Lounge, and the Island House Restaurant.
For a walk to the Northern point of Seabrooks' Island to watch dolphin, this is the place to go.
New in the fall of 2009, this site includes an indoor and outdoor pool, the fitness center, kids' club, and more. The Tennis facility and Equestrian Center are nearby.
Shopping Center offering special events such as outdoor movies, farmers markets, and festivals. Includes a full-service grocery, several restaurants, and specialty shops.
Owner's Map of Summerwind Cottages
While we call Charlotte, NC home, we are truly a beach-loving family who enjoys the beach year-round. Our children were nine and eleven years old when we found our Seabrook Island home. The memories we've made during our many long weekend and week-long visits to the island are priceless. We hope you enjoy the island and its surrounding community as much as we do!

A Wonderful Seabrook Vacation

My wife and I along with our children and their families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your Villa and Seabrook Island. Your home is lovely and it served our needs quite well and was in a great location on the island. I have to add that Seabrook is all you said it would be and indeed one of the most beautiful places we've vacationed. Two years ago we spent the same type vacation at Harbor Island with our family, but have to say that this vacation when it comes to scenery of the island to the wildlife and the beaches along with other amenities was far better. Seabrook Island Rd. is one of the prettiest roads in South Carolina if not the prettiest and the Seabrook Island Club pools and beach area along with the Pelican's Nest restaurant couldn't be beat and were an easy trip by car or bike from your villa. The hamburger at The Pelican's Nest is the best I think I've ever eaten.....and I've eaten quite a few over the years. I thank you so much for sharing your home with us for what was a truly nice vacation for our family. I also appreciate the extra info. concerning the island you made available along with the bicycles provided for your guests and want you to know that we will definitely keep your home in mind for any future trips to Seabrook Island.

Tranquility and Convenience

Tranquil – Comfortable - Convenient: We wished we had time to stay at this Seabrook Villa at least one week. Regrettably, our stay was limited to a quick weekend getaway and we did not want to leave. Everything exceeded our expectations! The house is equipped with everything that guests could possibly need or want a fully equipped kitchen, lovely dining area and living room, and patio with tranquil surroundings. Our "girls" travel group of educators were so pleased with the Villa lay out and all the amenities available. With the Charleston area accessible by a short drive away, we were able to visit historical sites and, of course, shopping in Charleston and within the immediate area. It was so great to be able to return to tranquility, comfort and a well-appointed "home away from home" of the Summerwind Villa. The Villa with ample living space for the five of us met all our needs and expectations. Plus, the view island is spectacular! We highly recommend these accommodations to anyone who would like the comfortable environment of a home away from home. Recommended for: Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at your Summerwind cottage. The weather was absolutely beautiful. The home contained so many extras from the outside shower, bikes, extra sheets, to a place where we can put away all our groceries! I can't tell you how mnay places we have stayed where there was no place to put the groceries away. You have a beautiful place and we'll be back!

Our family visited last summer and had an amazing trip. The home excceeded our expectations! The house was soooo kid friendly-equipped with a wagon, beach toys, outdoor shower, board games and a porch. It was big enough for our family of five and a set of inlaws who stayed on their own "side" of the house. The island is spectacular! It is very family oriented-pools, beach, beautiful beaches and restaurants. I highly recommend it!!!!

My family and I vacationed at this home in late September. We had a wonderful visit! The property was well maintained and very comfortably furnished. We found it to be just as nice as the photos and description represent it to be. The owners were friendly and easy to work with. They even helped us work out the details so we could enjoy a bonfire on the beach one evening! The new kitchen space is lovely and very well stocked. The bathrooms were nice (especially the master shower) and there was plenty of sleeping space for us all. We had great weather while we were there, and spent lots of time enjoying the large screened porch. Having bicycles available for us to use was such a nice ammenity! We rode them almost every day. The beach club and pool area is wonderful as well. The staff was friendly, the food was good and the scenery was breathtaking. I just love Seabrooke Island and all it has to offer! We will definitely vacation at this home again.
Owner response:We are always interested to hear about the stays of our guests; it is especially gratifying when guests share their memories of the wonderful time they had at the house and on the island. Thank you!

this villa on Sea Brook Island was clean and decorated adorable, remolded kitchen, we had a great new shower in the master bath. TV in each bedroom. We had bikes to enjoy and great chairs and toys for the beach. This was one of the best vacations I have had!!! I cannot wait to rent this villa next year!!!!!! I recommend renting this place to anyone looking for a nice place to go, the Edmistons were very helpful with our touring plans in Charleston.

Island amenities and location of property were great. Access to cycling, amenities, beach, and off island activities exceeded expectations. A couple of issues were of the magnitude that were not acceptable to my family. For starters upon arrival a basket at the front door contained an old towel, and some trash. I always say "You never get a second chance to make a first impression". We arrived after a long drive on one of the hottest days of the year. When we entered we very quickly realized the AC was not on. According to the thermostat it was 89 degrees in the house. It took approx 18 hours to cool the house to an acceptable temperature. After we unpacked in the sweltering heat we left until later that evening expecting the temperature to be more tolerable. It was not. Sleeping with the overhead fan on and the one we brought helped somewhat. It did cool down the next day and maintain its temperature forward. Upon arrival and throughout the stay we encountered not one or two but 12 very large robust and active roaches. Crawling on our belongings in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room. Each time we cooked we sterilized the pots, pans and utensils. In fact several roaches appeared mid-evening while we were watching TV. Crawled under our feet and through the living room until I could track them down and kill them. I was born and raised in Florida, travel a lot and have never encountered an infestation like this in a rental property. We had to watch our step and check the bed every night before we crawled in. The owner was called and did return our call promptly, and promised that an exterminator would come out and take care of the problem right away. And she apologized for the AC issue. Five or six days later, an exterminator called us to gain access to the home to spray. We had already arrived home from our trip 4 days earlier. The owner was advised and apologized again. I contacted the owner detailing our disappointment and even suggested compensation in the form of a reasonable refund of at least one day. No offer at first and then an offer was made to stay one night free upon our return. That was not an option considering what we had been through, and the mere fact that we will not be returning to that property. We gave the owner ample notice to rectify the problem. She asked why we didnt call earlier. It wouldnt have mattered, the exterminator never came. We do recommend selecting another property for your stay.
Owner response:For the past four years, many families have stayed at our villa. This is the first negative review or comment we've received. We have guests who return year after year, including a long term off-season guest who will return again this winter for seven weeks! We employ a professional housekeeper who does an excellent job of keeping the villa very clean with a thorough four hour cleaning between guests. In our guest welcome packet we make the following request: “ While our housekeeper is quite thorough and professional, we ask that upon entering the home for the first time you inspect the rooms to ensure cleanliness. If anything is not satisfactory, please report it immediately. ” Unfortunately, this guest called on the fifth day of a seven day stay, leaving a very short window for addressing his concern. Nonetheless, an exterminator was called immediately to arrive the following morning. We were not notified when this visit did not occur as expected. Again, we cannot fix what we are not aware of. The housekeeper did not see a problem while cleaning following the departure of this guest; however, a thorough spray was done just to be safe. Regarding the air conditioner, our policy is for the thermostat to be set at energy-saving levels when guests are not in the home. The summer setting for air conditioning is 80 degrees; the home typically cools down very quickly from this setting. We make every effort to keep the home maintained and up to date. The bathrooms and kitchen were renovated last fall, new furnishings have recently been put in place, and linens are replaced regularly. We take pride in providing guests an enjoyable vacation with impeccable service. Look at the other reviews and you will see that our guests over the past four years confirm this to be the case. Those reviews are quite favorable, reflecting the happiness of contented guests. We are confident you will enjoy your stay.

We had a marvelous time and your cottage is fantastic!!! My sister could not get over the furnishings and the way you have it decorated. I believe Seabrook may become a "annual event" - there was not one thing we looked for that we could not find - you have stocked the place very well and I love your cookware. I had never cooked on gas before and found I really like it. The shower in the master room is to die for. Also, the watermelon was wonderful - thanks again for leaving it for us. We will definitely recommend your place and Seabrook to all our friends and family!!!
