As you step through the blue front door, cares and stress finally slip from your shoulders and peace and tranquility meet you. You pour a drink and sit watching the evening sunlight play on the water, soothing your frazzled nerves, as you promise yourself a laze in the hammock tomorrow. But for this first evening, a soak in the generous clawfoot tub awaits you, and then you sink into the vast master bed and enjoy the first good night’s sleep for a while. Tomorrow, you know, will be the laziest, happiest, most relaxing you’ve had for – oh, since whenever. There’s time for a round of golf, then a splash in the oceanside pool; before coming back to this special house of sanctuary and having to make a difficult choice – to watch a film on the huge screen with surround sound, or to put your feet up on the chaise longue in the sun room and just BE. This is the vacation you’ve dreamed of! And with all this space you don’t even have to sit with the rest of the family all the time – and anyway,the kids are off on the bikes that are kept in the garage and your spouse is eager to cook on the grill. What a life: you could get used to this dream of a home!
"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,"
Summer guests wrote, and booked for the following year.
We love our house too! So do our children and our grandchildren! We love the space, the quiet, our huge master suite and wonderful king bed, the beach, golf on our two championship courses, Java Java (our favorite local coffee shop), Ladles (the new soup and sandwich bar) and Charleston, of course. We used to live here full time; and every time we visit we can’t believe we ever left! Our home is ideal for a family, an extended family (2 master suites), or 2 families vacationing together.
And now it’s even better, with the new Club and Property Owners’ facilities, which you can enjoy with an Amenity Card (included in our rental charge). The new Lake House is a few minutes gentle stroll away, with its outdoor pools, children’s play area, fitness center (small daily charge) and cafe; the new Tennis and Equestrian Centers are also very nearby. The main clubhouse, golf and the beach club are a short car ride away. Enjoy eating a fabulous meal overlooking the ocean in the Palmetto dining room or an informal snack and a cocktail at the Pelican’s Nest, literally a stone’s throw from the beach.
HOUSE: totally renovated and with an enclosed sunroom (60 ft along the lagoon) and a new bedroom above the garage. All done with full time living in mind – no wonder guests say it’s got the best amenities of any house they’ve ever stayed in. It has the atmosphere of a home because we still think of it as our main home (only work makes us live in the UK!). Our greatest hope is that it will feel like home to our guests and that they will love it as much as we do.
BEDROOMS: sleeps 10 comfortably in 4 full sized bedrooms
MASTER SUITE - a gorgeous master bedroom suite with very comfortable California King bed, TV and DVD player, sofas; private bathroom with claw foot tub, separate, large European-style shower and twin sinks
UPSTAIRS MASTER SUITE - this bedroom is an ideal retreat, with its own shower room; it also has a 46" LED TV, blu-ray DVD player and surround sound system, together with 2 leather recliners and a leather loveseat
GUEST BEDROOM - with a pretty queen bed, TV with DVD and private shower room
CHILDREN"S ROOM - white bunk beds, a day bed and a trundle bed - its bathroom is right next door.
All bedrooms have drapes and ceiling fans; all bathrooms have full sets of towels and hairdryers.
THE MAIN 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 8/10 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 (for 8), second sitting area with wicker sofas, rockers; and a study/desk area.
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!
We also supply a cooler on wheels (ideal for the long boardwalks down to the beach), beach chairs, body boards for surfing, 2 adult and 2 children’s bikes (cyclists have priority on all Seabrook roads).

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We bought a vacation villa on Seabrook in 2003; fell in love with the island and so bought a family home in 2006 and moved in full time! We realised Seabrook was so special 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 House
We completely remodelled our home when we bought it and our daughter was married from the house. It is a very special place for us. Kim loves the golf. Penelope loves the beach. We both love our dining and shopping trips to Charleston. The family has great fun every time they come too - whether on the beach, at the pools or the children's play areas. They relax in the house; one son-in-law cycles miles, the other golfs madly, the girls swim, read, shop, enjoy cooking in the fabulous kitchen - or eating out at Freshfields when they can't be bothered!
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 4 of our grandchildren. Our third child married an American and still lives in Virginia with 2 more grandchildren! So we get used to traversing the pond, feeling equally at home on both sides; and we love taking the family to our home on Seabrook - they all love it too!

Seabrook Island Beach House

Review Submitted: 07/15/08
Loved it!!! The description of this house is no exaggeration. It is immaculate, large, open and has every amenity. The wifi worked like a charm, the master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable and everything we could possibly need was available in the kitchen. The shower in the master bath was a hoot -- we called it the "time chamber" and it was good for a lot of laughs and some funny photos -- "beam me up, Scottie" style. The only downside is that there is no place to put your soap, shampoo, etc. Tons of extras in the garage, too, including beach chairs and bikes, which we put to good use and which saved us from having to haul them from home. 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. The sunporch overlooking the lagoon was a personal favorite for reading and "gator watch" every morning, but a small fan I brought from home was very useful since the solarium-type room got pretty warm. There was a wonderful selection of books and games. We are "beach people" rather than golfers, tennis players or equestriens. The Seabrook Island beach club is lots of fun and rarely feels crowded. We snagged our beachfront loungers early, jumped into the pool when we got too warm and enjoyed lunch at the adjacent Pelican's Nest most days. Night time walks on the beach are amazing -- it feels as if you could touch the stars -- and if you're really fortunate, the water will contain phosphorus that looks like the waves are dripping diamonds when they break. Nearby Freshfields Village is super. The Newton Farms grocery is excellent -- Wegman's style -- and has a Starbuck's. The pizza restaurant in the Village has some of the best pizza we've ever eaten. Also highly recommend the Fat Pig restaurant on Maybank Highway. Call for reservations -- even on weeknights -- if you don't want a long wait. Charleston is always a treat, even if you've spent a great deal of time there, as we have. We tried the Tsunami restaurant across from the Custom's House. It is part of a small chain that does shushi and hibachi-cooked entrees. Cocktails were also interesting -- the key lime martini was excellent. Don't leave Charleston without a box or two of pralines from Market Street Sweets. Seabrook Island is a perfect getaway in the fabulous Low Country and our house was comfortable, cozy and well-equipped -- perfect in every way.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home in December. It was warm and inviting and had all the amenities you need to relax and rejuvenate. The decor was very peaceful and tranquil much like the setting. It can accomodate several people and still offer privacy with 4 bedrooms and baths. The common area is spacious and open. We enjoyed our stay on this gorgeous island very much and I am sure you will as well!
Owner response:The stress and cares just melt away as you reach Seabrook island and the relaxation deepens as you sit back and enjoy the peace and surroundings of our home! The large claw foot tub is great for a long soak; the sunroom is so peaceful overlooking the lagoon; and as for the hammock ..... !!

We are a family of four and we have really enjoyed both of our stays in this lovely gem of a house! Each time we found a sweet home away from home waiting for us. From the gorgeous peaceful setting to the exquisite layout. When walking through you really feel all the care and love the owners have been putting to decorate thinking about every tiny detail to make you feel good. I love cooking and I must admit this is the best stocked house I have ever rented. You will have everything you need to fix a homemade gourmet meal. You will even find champagne flutes for a fancy toast by the fireplace! The decor is very modern, joyful, and comfortable Pottery Barn style which I love. The new TV family room above the garage is a wonderful addition. My teenage son loved to have his retreat over there! We enjoyed having bikes available with the house. The only regret we had was to have to leave! We cannot wait for our third visit hopefully very soon! The owner Penelope is amazing and will treat you like a friend! Loved, loved and loved this sanctuary in Seabrook!
Owner response:This house is our home, where we used to live full time and which we have totally remodelled for easy, relaxed, stress free living! We love cooking and have equipped it with lots of electrical appliances and easy to use kitchen ware. Every time you walk in the door you feel the stress and worry of everyday life dissipate and slip from your shoulders. Relax and enjoy!

This was a great place to stay and was very well represented by the owners. I was a bit nervous about renting sight unseen, but it was a wonderful experience. Seabrook is a beautiful place, and our rental home was beautiful and well maintained. The owners were very organized and left helpful how to and where to go information.My reason for going to Seabrook was to get my adult children together for a vacation, as they live in different states,and to possibly start a family tradition. Mission accomplished! Everyone loved the place, the experience and we plan on returning next year!
Owner response:There is so much space in the house and different areas in which to relax so that it's ideal for family reunions and gatherings. Or for two families to vacation together. With five separate sitting areas, two large dining areas and two master suites, it offers great space for everyone. And plenty of TVs to avoid family arguments!

Just as the listing described, this home is comfortable, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. It is more spacious than the pictures indicate, and very well maintained. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us, and the layout was perfect for our family of three generations. We, the grandparents, enjoyed the master suite, our son loved the upstairs suite, and the two guest bedrooms fit our daughter and her family nicely. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We spent evenings at the beginning of the week out back overlooking the lagoon, and since the end of the week included a heat wave, when we were not at the beach or riding bikes, the spacious sunroom was the place to congregate. Seabrook is lovely and quiet. The additions and remodeling which have been done to the golf club and beach club are great additions. Try drinks or dinner at Pelican's Nest at sunset. The owners were very accommodating in answering all of our questions and we will definitely recommend this rental to friends. Thank you for sharing your home with us and helping to make our family vacation a memorable one.

The house is absolutely beautiful - pictures do not do it justice! It was spacious, with plenty of room for all 10 of us staying there. The children loved having a room all to themselves (so grateful for the single beds!), and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the sunroom in the back. The open floor plan in the great room was great - with wonderful appliances and furniture that looked like a picture in a magazine. Thank you for letting us share your house!

This home was truly amazing and what a wonderful vacation we had. Very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, well-maintained - the perfect vacation retreat. We couldn't have had a more wonderful family reunion. I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family and hope to return someday soon. The owners were very helpful with all of my questions - we even left many items at the house and they let us know immediately and were very helpful in working out how to retrieve them. The tennis courts and swimming pool were beautiful and we had many wonderful walks on the beach.

My family of four, plus my parents, just returned from a lovely week on Seabrook Island. I can't imagine a better fit for us than this house. It was spacious yet cozy, beautifully decorated, and had so many features we liked. You will not find a better space than the bright, long sunroom that looks out on the lagoon. My family enjoyed breakfast and lunch in the sunroom, as well as afternoon cocktails. We saw several baby alligators each day swimming in the lagoon and banking right by the neighbor's house. My parents absolutely loved the master bedroom and the huge master bath. The clawfoot tub was a hit amongst all the girls in the family (including my 11 year old daughter). My mom and I enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen that looked out to both the living room and sunroom beyond. Everyone took turns gathering on the adorable window seat in the kitchen while we cooked. As for Seabrook Island, it is quiet and residential, filled with friendly neighbors. On our first morning bike ride, my kids were amazed at how many people waved and said hi to us. The Lake House and Beach Club are beautiful. The horses at the equestrian center are clearly well groomed and cared for. North Beach is gorgeous and has good boogie boarding waves. Once you fall into the rhythm of the island, you will not want to leave. My family was sad to say goodbye, and we hope to return one day.
Owner response:Seabrook is a magical place, and very special. And people seem to fall in love with our house - especially the 60 ft long sunroom overlooking the lagoon , the luxury of bathing in the claw foot tub, and the fact that there are so many different areas to sit - so that no-one feels on top of everyone else. Come and see for yourself!
