Why the Owner Chose St. Helena Island
Because I fell in love with the trees, town, history and the people the first time I laid eyes on it. It offers the history of the very first settlers from Europe. The ancient trees, the moss that came over with the Spainards on the sails of their ships. IT has been waiting 500 years here to be discovered.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach Cottage Home
This is a home, not just a rental. It is very comfortable and quiet! Relax on the front porh with a glass of wine and enjoy the music of the waves rolling in. Walk your dog on the beach, harvest your own clams, oysters & crabs. Fish right in the sound, and cook up dinner. Summer Soaking in the salty warm waters at high tide is like a walking into an ocean sized hot tub. The soft gentle waves are a real treat you dont have to worry about riptides and flaoting out to see. In the summer you may see Loggerhead Sea turles or the nests they leave on the beach.
This is the beach Access from my home and it is the location of the last Loggerhead turtle egg nest. It was laid in June of 09 and they will hatch and crawl to the sea September or October. The beach
Drive through the canopy of interwoven Massive Live Oak trees hundreds of years old drapped with Spainish Moss lining the sand roads of Coffin Point Plantation. You can t see the street from this leve
Owner's Map of St. Helena Island
In 1995 we were driving back to Atlanta from Jacksonville and stopped in Savannah for lunch. I picked up my usual real estate magazines and paged through them until I spied a home for sale on Port Royal Island. I begged my husband to take a detour. Then I found Beaufort South Carolina; I knew the first time I set eyes on this place that this would eventually be my home. Please join me on my journey to Saint Helena Island in Beaufort SC. I hope you love this magical oasis as much as I do.
