About this property

Private Retreat - Coastal Beaufort Sea Islands, So. Carolina

Enjoy the lowcountry life and come to Las Brisas (Spanish - the soft breezes) on St. Helena Island. The breezes will keep you cool as you wile away the hours at the end of the road overlooking the marsh. Watch the tide coming and going and the birds that live outside the door. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of two screened decks or the open air observation deck where you can see above the trees and out to the ocean. Take a leisurely stroll by the Intercoastal waterway, enjoy the brilliant colors of Carolina sunsets and the quiet, unobstructed views. The home is cozy and ready for friends and family to take time to enjoy the sweet life together. The queen bedroom has an en suite and TV. Twin beds in the second bedroom, sofabed in the living room and a queen bed with twin bunkbed in the second-floor loft can accomodate up to 9 people. Call or email us for more details today!

The house was spotless when we arrived. Instructions for gaining access were supplied ahead of time. The house was even better than advertised! We loved the marsh views, the breezes (no wonder they call it Las Brisas), and the two screen rooms and upper level observation deck for exquisite sunrise and sunset views. The kitchen was fully equipped from utensils and dishware, to pots and pans, and small appliances. We enjoyed hearing the neighbors' chickens and turkeys, and the fresh eggs that they offered, but if that's going to bother you perhaps this is not the place for you. Visiting deer were a common occurrence in the yard.We stayed six weeks during spring, and plan to return. The property has easy walking access to the local beach but is otherwise a bit remote. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within a short drive.

This is an amazing house and a great deal. Don’t be confused by it only listing 2 bedrooms. There is plenty of room for 8 people in this home. The beach near the house is on the sound and very calm, just bring water shoes for the oyster shells. We can’t recommend this home more.

A wonderful private retreat, a home away from home!

Once again, we had the most wonderful stay at this private retreat. A welcoming home with all the amenities needed for an extended stay. Here we experienced the best of both worlds, the low country marsh and also a beach a short walk down the road. Nearby, a short drive away, we enjoyed Port Royal and the city of Beaufort. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we look forward to returning next year.

We could not have been happier! Sunrise at the private beach, stars on the crow’s nest, marsh rabbits and deer in the yard, Butch’s boat landing (for putting in kayaks) and hunting island less than 10 min away. The kitchen was well stocked, the details were attended to, the beds were comfy. The ONLY gripe I have is the lack of a lock on the primary bedroom door (and that is in the review for the owners not because it detracted from our stay!) The place was perfect for our family of 5 and the hosts were very accommodating. We will certainly return to this spot!!

About the host

Hosted by Debra Varner

Host profile image
We love our home in South Carolina! Having family nearby, we share meals and good times together. We live in San Francisco, also a beautiful place, but when we go to our So. Carolina home, we simply feel the stress of the everyday life melt away no matter what time of year. We have spent all the seasons and all are equally beautiful. We love beach combing, meeting and sharing a meal with our neighbors and lazing on the decks with a good book in the heat of the day. Family members visit and we take in the local catch of the day - the shrimp, clams, oysters and crab that our brother-in-law catches himself! We want you to enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We have family and friends in No. and So. Carolina and Florida. We knew we needed to have our own home to share with them. We were fortunate to find this special place that brings such joy, and we are delighted to share with our guests.

What makes this property unique

We love the food, beaches, shopping, neighbors and quiet that makes us feel rejuvenated at the end of a stay.
