We have rented on Seabrook Island many times but never a house or cottage. It is a very nice dog friendly unit. Easy access to everything on the island.
We loved the house. Very clean and so comfortable and cozy.

Our family had a great time taking a break from our routine. We had everything we needed, enjoyed lots of time on the porch reading, and rode our bikes everywhere to have fun on the beach and pools!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Seabrook is awesome, however, the cottage was not very clean nor well maintained. The kitchen and bathrooms are extremely small. The kitchen is well stocked. There were only 4 bikes, and 2 were not operational which was disappointing. The screen porch was large. Having the amenity card was great!

Thank you for the review- we are so sorry that you were not pleased with the condition of the property. We have passed along your concerns with the property manager and cleaning staff so that will not happen in the future. Our apologies. We are so glad that you enjoyed the porch and beautiful island amenities!
We loved everything about this property and plan to come back in the future. It was clean, well maintained, and very relaxing. Beds are very comfortable. Loved the location and the beach is fabulous. We saw quite a few dolphins at the inlet and witnessed strand feeding. Also, the property management company is a well run organization and communicates frequently. Definitely recommended!

The location was great, mid point of the island so easy access to north beaches and beach front pool. Bikes included was a nice touch.
The kitchen and bathrooms (specifically the master) were tight. We didn't do a lot of cooking so it wasn't a huge issue for the kitchen. The master bathroom's lack of counter space required a bit of a work around but not vacation altering.
The ceiling fans were great and kept air moving.
The screened in porch was a perfect touch as well.
Clean property. Careful with food, with the rain ants seemed to be an issue for us and friends saying at other properties.

Thank you Pamela. We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Our island is a natural paradise and sometimes it requires extra applications. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kim
Cottage was nice. Couch not comfortable. Had a piece of plywood under cushion. All the cooking pans were over heated making them difficult to cook with. The beds comfortable House clean and under the house was great for grandkids
Clean; comfortable and plenty of room for our family - 2 adults, 2 teens & a golden retriever. Well-decorated and provisioned - mini waffle maker was much appreciated!
Bikes were a lovely touch - 3 mins quick ride to the beach club, 5-10mins to the Lake House pool.
Great for tennis & golf too. Quiet, safe community
Highly Recommend.

Thank Karen for the review of 515 Tarpon Pond. We are happy you enjoyed your stay here on Seabrook.
Have a wonderful remainder of your summer.
Take care,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. It is well supplied, in a peaceful forest setting, short distance to beach and convenience to the beach. The kitchen is narrow, great for easy meals, but not for multiple cooks. Housekeeping was not thorough in fridge and rear deck and stairs. Otherwise, highly recommended.
We had such a delightful time here! The house was better then the pictures showed. We loved hanging on the back porch, riding bikes to the beach, catching frogs and lizards outside, and snuggling up with the lush blankets inside. The kitchen was fully equipped and we loved having access to the grill. All the beds were so comfy and the air conditioner was nice and cool. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend! Thanks for a great week!
