Fantastic Stay

The home was perfect for our needs. Well maintained and had everything we needed for our stay. Super comfortable. My only complaint was no bikes unless we had ordered them and had them delivered.

Lovely home

The property was lovely - clean, updated, and very pretty. The only concern we had was the poor quality linens that the property management company used - my kids described it as sandpaper. It was a 5-star place and we look forward to our next trip!

Great location and perfect for families.

Tarpon Pond was a great location and the property was clean, well appointed. We had bikes delivered prior to our stay which made getting to the Beach Club and beaches very easy. Would highly recommend this rental for families. We loved the screened in porch.

Best vacation!!

We had the best time staying the week here with our family! It’s in a great location, there was plenty of room for everyone, and the kitchen was stocked we everything we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was a quick drive to the beach club and there was always plenty of parking there. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Seabrook Island.

nice cottage

We enjoyed our stay, found everything to be as described online. The cottage was cleaned and kitchen stocked for simple meals. We made use of the gas grill which was nice to have. The amenities on the island are very nice. We enjoyed biking and the ride to the beach club was less than 10 minutes. We would come back again, hopefully for longer next time.

Great time

The property was very clean and just as listed! We really enjoyed the quiet back porch sipping coffee in the morning! It was a little further than we expected from the beach access that we preferred and the pool so we ended up driving there and took about 10 minutes to get into the little shop area. Other than that, we loved our time!

Great Spring Break

Seabrook is one of our favorite summer spots and Spring did not disappoint. The house was clean and we'll stocked with everything you need. Right in the middle of the island so about an 8 min bike to the beach pool and 10 to tennis and the lake pool. Nice front and back porches. Small but we'll stocked kitchen, both types of coffee machines which is nice. Only complaint is bed was a little uncomfy.

Great location! Clean and Simple!

We loved our stay at Tarpon Pond! The screen porch was perfect with a breeze. We had all we needed and it was super clean - which is not easy to do when everything is white ;) LOVED the pillows and comfy livibn room chairs. We didn’t rent a golf cart (we were late to that party) so we rented bikes and had even more fun! No spiders and no bugs! Ammenities card was great; bike to the beach was easy; freshfields was our favorite spot :) Legit can’t get better than this!

nice and easy

Property was nice and clean. We were close enough to beach club (about 1 mile) to ride our bikes. LOVE the convenience of the amenity cards in this community. We loved being able to ride our bikes all over the community and up to freshfields village. My husband tells me the golf was great. About 45 minutes from downtown Charleston.
