About this property
Sailors Rest: Pool & Sauna, Tropical Island Oasis, Fireplace, Kid-Friendly
Enter the gates of Sailors Rest, immerse yourself in the lush palm-filled scenery, discover hidden gardens and unwind by the pool.
The Space:
Two queen-sized beds, fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, streaming entertainment, coffee machine, high-speed business internet, and if needed, a work station.
Amenities:
Take a dip in our heated pool (typically heated April - Oct) or enjoy a cold drink in our outdoor Biergarten or patios, perfect for al fresco dining, all while surrounded by lush gardens and the beauty of nature.
Enjoy the outdoor fireplace, s’mores kits, two grills, infrared sauna, koi pond, farm-fresh eggs daily from our chickens, pool towels, beach chairs, and relaxing fountains throughout the property. See info about kids amenities below.
A note about well water:
Our water comes from a well and is treated with an advanced Evolve water purification system. It's clean, safe for drinking, showering, and daily use, and free from typical well water odors as much as possible. We regularly test it to ensure its quality.
However, if you're very sensitive to well water or find its hardness bothersome, this may not be the right place for you. For pure drinking and cooking water, there is a separate faucet with reverse osmosis filtration.
Guest Access & Hosts on Premises:
You would be the only guests on the property. The property is self-check-in, and hosts are available on-premises and happy to help you with anything you need during your stay.
Amenities for Families:
We are a kid-friendly space with an outdoor baby/toddler swing, plenty of toys, a baby countertop bathtub, kid's books, and a Pack n-Play. Children will have a blast feeding the chickens and koi fish and swimming in the pool.
Nearby:
Kiawah Island and its pristine beaches are just a 10-minute drive from Sailors Rest.
Folly Beach is a 20-30 minute drive.
Downtown Charleston is a 20-30 minute drive.
Freshfields Village has a Harris Teeter grocery store and plenty of local boutiques and restaurants for every taste and is 10 minutes away.
Rosebank Farms and Storey Farms nearby provide a taste of local charm with fresh local produce, seafood, and unique gifts. Gather your local supplies here and utilize our full-sized kitchen to cook at home.
