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 8 people. Call or email us for more details today!

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.
Great property. Lovely location. Very clean and comfortable home. So much nature to enjoy! Close to Hunting Island State Park. Wish we could live here! We will be back.Thank you Debra!
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!!
This house is an amazing beach house. It reminds me of houses I stayed at as a child at the beach. Beautiful area, very private. Debra was wonderful to work with and we will definitely be back next year!
The house was great. The location was good, if you like the out of the way places...which we do. Maybe a little hard to fine, but we enjoyed our little get away very much.
Very clean and exactly as described online. The view up top is phenomenal and the breeze is wonderful on all the porches and the top deck.
Definitely would recommend staying here. Close to the Hunting Island state park beach and also to Beaufort and Port Royal!
Perfect for those looking to disconnect from the everyday grind and take some time to relax. Stunning, quiet location. The screened in decks cannot be beat.

Awesome Place
This place is amazing. I can't wait to go back down next year.
I love this property! It's private, secluded but in a neighborhood with shaded dirt roads to walk my dog. I love the observation deck, multiple screen porches, proximity to Hunting Island State park (use of park pass). We cook meals there in kitchen, gas grill outside. We have stayed her multiple times and always enjoy.
We had a great time at this property. Such a unique place, the views from the crows nest were amazing and we loved being able to take our dog to the very close dog beach.
The place and observation deck was amazing. The neighbors dogs and chickens were intrusive and the location was not as expected. The walk to the beach was difficult to find and the beach area was small and very muddy at times

Nice home
Was a nice home and close to the beach. The only downside was the neighbor, be ready to not feel welcomed by them, wow. The home was clean, nice yard and scenic over the marsh.
The house was spotless, quiet, and had what we needed. It’s a short walk to the beach which is hermit crab friendly but too muddy and covered in clam shells for enjoying the water. We were nearby Hunting Island Park and enjoyed having access to its amazing features. We also visited a nearby fort and Cypress wetlands. Good stay.

About the host
Hosted by Debra Varner
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.
