We stayed at 1 Ebb Tide in June 2016. We have stayed each summer in beach houses on a different South Carolina beach for more than 40 years, but this is the first beach house we have rented that was truly “live in” ready. The beds were made, the house was clean, and all we had to do was move in and start enjoying our vacation. The views from the top floor are beautiful. The house offers several living spaces to accommodate adults and kids alike. It also has a number of decks and porches, one of which was a lovely screened in porch, which we often enjoyed during the evening. There is a great grilling area with a porch swing on the ground floor. The big kitchen had everything we needed and the dining room held a large table, which was our family’s gathering place for food and games. The house is one block from the beach and came with a golf cart that we all enjoyed. We used the golf cart to get to the community pool, tennis courts, kids playground, and shuffleboard. We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly everyone was in this gated community. Everyone waved when they passed us when we were either walking or driving. We saw lots of wonderful wildlife including alligators, turtles, ospreys, and egret rookeries. 1 Ebb Tide is less than a ten-minute drive to Hunting Island State Park where we spent many hours exploring the beaches and the lighthouse. JC, the homeowners’ agent, responded to and quickly resolved our few requests. He is the most responsive and pleasant homeowners’ agent we have ever had. This was one of our best beach weeks ever...we highly recommend 1 Ebb Tide and definitely plan to return next year.
