Christmas at the beach

Lowcountry Paradise was a right-sized stay for our small family get together for the holidays. Three couples and a couple kids fit well. The amenities were nice and access to nearby sites was easy. It was chilly being December but we found plenty to do and we ate well. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed and the grill was a nice touch. Hunting Island passes were a treat.

Family Getaway

Two families with lots of little kids really enjoyed our stay. The two golf carts made getting around the island a breeze. The beach, the pool, and the wildlife were thoroughly enjoyed. The house had everything we needed and laid out well. Would recommend to others looking for a relaxing stay.

Family time with our Marine

We had a lovely stay here with our son who is stationed at MCAS Beaufort. The house has everything needed for a family stay and I was able to make a few home cooked meals for him. The golf carts made a fun addition to get to the beach.

Love this place!

We have stayed there two times so far planning on a third next year. It just has all you need having two golf carts with a big family. Makes it easy for people to go where they need to go without waiting or taking a vehicle. Nobody has to fight over king size beds because three out of four rooms have them. Really enjoy the screened in porch away from all the mosquitoes at night. Overall, a great place.

Ocean Marsh

Harbor Point is a beautiful area and nice neighborhood. Saw a terrapin turtle and lots of horseshoe crabs on the point at access 1. Golf carts are a great addition and owner was responsive to replacing one that wasn’t working. Highlights in the area included Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal and Hunting State Park.

A Hidden Gem

This house was clean and organized and perfect for our family with adult kids. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. It is perfect for walks. The owner was very communicative even over a holiday week and patient with our additional questions. We felt this house was worth the money and would recommend it to others.

Clean, well-equipped, and very serene

We enjoyed our brief stay here. Lovely home that the owners obviously care for. Nice little touches like cloths in a bin to wipe off sandy dog feet. The back screened porch is a perfect place for morning coffee and evening drinks. Kitchen is fully equipped and there's plenty of room to stretch out. One suggestion: table lamps in the livingroom would be nice.

Great House

The house was a short walk to the Beach. The house layout was great and the island was beautiful. The only bad I can mention is that there is a water treatment facility in the marsh behind the house that is part of the porch view. However, overall a great location and the accessibility of two golf carts were great!
