Accommodations: Luxury family home, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)
"Loved it!!! The description of this house is no exaggeration. It is immaculate, large, open and has every amenity ... We've been vacationing at Seabrook off and on for nearly 30 years, and this house offered the most amenities of any we've ever rented." Visitor, July 2008
How do you choose where to stay on Seabrook? The villas are lovely but small (we used to own one!). The private houses give much more space and privacy, and afford a much higher degree of luxury (that's why we upgraded). What's more for roughly the same rental cost, you can sleep 2 families (2 private baths for the parents/grandparents) for the price of one! But what about being close to the beach, you say?
The beauty of the Seabrook beach is that it has no houses on it! Everyone has to walk across the boardwalks and almost everybody has to take the car and park in one of the plentiful parking spaces by one of the entrances. How else will you get the beach gear (which we provide) down there. Of course, if you want to pay a fortune, you can get an oceanfront property; but you wouldn't be looking at this page if you were in that league!
We are very close to the Tennis and Equestrian Centers,
We totally remodeled this home in 2007 with new kitchen, 3 new bathrooms and a cathedral ceiling in the living area. We have also closed in the screened-in porch to create a beautiful sunroom running the whole length 60ft of the house with tranquil views over the lagoon. It is gorgeous. Everyone who visits loves this house. On top of that we have lived here for the last 6 months and equipped it for just that, living, entertaining, comfort and every amenity you could hope for. It has a beachy feel but a luxurious finish.
If you don't know Seabrook, it's next to Kiawah but far less commercial. It's a hidden gem on the South Carolina coast just 30 minutes south of historic Charleston. A private gated community, centred around the Seabrook Club, it is a wonderfully tranquil spot and yet there is enough activity to keep the most energetic of us occupied all day, every day!
The Club's Championship golf courses, tennis courts, equestrian centre and beach club
are only available to owners and resort guests (like you) staying in properties on the
island, (your Club Amenity Card can be purchased on arrival direct from the club - extra fees apply for some activities, such as golf). Kiawah Island with its world famous golf is literally just next door.
The island has something to offer at all times of year. In the summer it is a family paradise with beach, boating, horseback-riding, cycling and more. In the spring and fall, the weather is perfect for golf, tennis and other activities. Even in the winter (average temperatures still in the 50's) the golf courses are open, the beach is deserted and wonderful for brisk walks, and there is always the lovely open fire in the house to come home to.
In more detail, our luxury house sleeps 8 comfortably in 3 full sized bedrooms, including a gorgeous master bedroom suite with very comfortable California King bed, TV and DVD player, private bathroom with claw foot tub, separate shower and twin sinks; the second bedroom has a queen bed, TV with DVD and private shower room; the third bedroom has bunk beds, a day bed and a trundle bed - its bathroom is right next door; the living area, with cathedral ceiling, has hickory hardwood floors throughout, a large sitting area with 32" LCD TV and DVD player, dining area with large dining table and seating for 8 and a beautiful state-of-the-art kitchen with granite countertops and wooden breakfast bar. The sunroom, overlooking the lagoon, runs the whole length of the house with second dining area, wicker sofas, rockers, desk etc (all new for 2008). Outside is a large deck with adirondack chairs. There is also a Pawleys Island hammock. The house is furnished with Pottery Barn/Restoration Hardware/Ralph Lauren. See the photos!

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We originally owned a villa on Seabrook and then bought a proper house in 2007, with a view to living there full time. We fell in love with Seabrook the first time we went there one Thanksgiving. It is so peaceful, so beautiful, and yet there is so much to do. We love every visit, whatever the time of year.
The Unique Benefits at this Luxury family home
We completely remodelled our home when we bought it in 2007. Our daughter was married from the house. It is a very special place for us. I, Kim, love the golf. Penelope loves the beach. We both love our dinner trips to Charleston. All of our family love everything about Seabrook.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Penelope and Kim are Brits who lived in the US from 2002 thru 2008. Now living back in London, we are both ministers in the Church of England. We have 2 children who also live in London with their spouses and 2 of our grandchildren. Our third child married an American and still lives in Virginia with grandchild No.3. So we get used to traversing the pond, feeling equally at home on both sides.
