We have spent at least one to two weeks the past ten years vacationing at the Sealoft villa. Ten years in a row tells you how much we enjoy the villa and Seabrook Island. The villa is very bright and decorated with southern charm. You have a view of the golf course and wild life from each of the three decks. Plenty of room and very comfortable for up to six people. The villa is equipment with all of the comforts of home plus extras. It is also located right across the street from one of the island pools. Bikes and kayaks can be rented and delivered to your door. The beautiful white sand beach is a ten minute walk. Surf fishing on the beach, crabbing and renting a charter boat are all options. You can bike around the entire island, stop by the club house for refreshments and shopping. Be at Freshfields in ten minutes by bike. You are 30 minutes from downtown Charleston where you will find lots of historic sightseeing and many fabulous restaurants and shops. You must experience the villa and island. It's beautiful and so enjoyable!

Our family has always stayed at Kiawah, but we chose this house to try out Seabrook for the first time. This is an elevated house (you must climb flight of stairs to get in) with great views of the golf course. The decks are all new with Trex and are VERY nice. The third floor loft bedroom with it's own deck is ideal for teenagers (our daughter and friend stayed out half the night!). Master bedroom is beautiful, bath is ample and there is a private little deck. Second bedroom and bath are also good size. We loved there was only one main TV in living area, and one more small flat screen in master only: our younger boys actually read in bed and went to sleep early without arguments! Kitchen area is compact, yet efficient and all appliances worked well. Spices, condiments and some coffee were all there...didn't need to buy any. Even though it's not really relevant overall, I can't speak highly enough about how beautifully this house is decorated. This is "beach cottage" done to perfection. Nothing too fancy, nothing too shabby. Colors are beautiful and furniture is cozy, high quality and clean. Wish I could get the paint color for myself! Homeowner is also an excellent photographer and nature/pet photos are a treat to look at. The location is closest to beach point 3, which is a VERY long boardwalk. We preferred taking rented bikes to point 1 or to beach club, as ocean access was easier (house is halfway in between). However, the wildlife viewing is perfect from 3. This house is only a five minute bike ride to either point 1/owner's club or to the beach club (where there are restaurants, a full pool, a kiddie pool, and small beach). However, while this is best location for beach club and ocean access, it is very far from front gate and Freshfield's...definitely stop on your way in for supplies and amenity cards to minimize extra market runs. All in all, this house is an excellent value for the money. We missed the bike trails at Kiawah, but that's about it. Beaches at Seabrook were as nice or nicer than Kiawah, beach club is more intimate and relaxing than Kiawah's, and it's a much shorter bike ride to Dolphin beaching area (an amazing experience). Bikes are essential for this location, so bring or rent. The solitary complaint we have with this house is there is no Barbecue Grill, save for a cheap, tiny charcoal affair. We brought steaks and ended up broiling them. Other than this, a perfect beach rental for families...
