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.

A wonderful private retreat, a home away from home!

Once again, we had the most wonderful stay at this private retreat. A welcoming home with all the amenities needed for an extended stay. Here we experienced the best of both worlds, the low country marsh and also a beach a short walk down the road. Nearby, a short drive away, we enjoyed Port Royal and the city of Beaufort. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we look forward to returning next year.

Lovely Low Country Property

We loved our stay! The surroundings are absolutely stunning, especially if you’re looking for a PEACEFUL Low Country experience. It’s surrounded by marsh with beautiful views. The house itself is cozy and comfortable and has everything you might need and a well appointed kitchen. Enjoyed my morning coffee out on the back screened in porch and took in the wildlife and lovely views. I was visited by a beautiful Red Cardinal both mornings. “When Cardinals appear …. Angels are near!” I’d highly recommend this property!! Be sure to bring your own toiletries as shampoo and body soap were not provided.

Great getaway.

Nice views of the marsh from the porches, comfortable beds and furniture, and a well equipped kitchen. We visited the nearby beach everyday and also drove to Hunting Island Park . Neighbors celebrated their candidate's win with gunshots about 3am. However we had no contact with them. Very good responses from owner when we had questions. Would recommend this rental.

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!

A much needed vacation

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

2nd timer

This was our second time at house and we enjoyed our stay here just as much as last time. I love the fact that it is pet friendly, the neighborhood beach is nice to walk. We used the Hunting Island State Park pass every day to go swimming in the ocean. We also enjoyed bird watching from the rooftop deck as well as from the comfort of the dinning table through the large windows. Great place for a family vacation!

Perfect Getaway

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.

The Perfect GetAway!

This was our second stay in this home. That’s probably “enough said”. But…. We love the privacy, the location and the fact it is pet friendly. Our stay was a week long and we rarely left the screen porch. Morning walks at sunrise on the beach every morning were wonderful. The pass for Hunting Island was also very much appreciated. The house is well equipped. And very clean.

Brief stay but well-worth it

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.

Porches - Birds- Location

This house on Saint Helena Island is an oasis in the trees, a short walk to a quiet beach, 15 min drive to Hunting Island State Park ( a gem of a place), and a 25 min drive to downtown Beaufort! Listening to the birds singing in the morning and watching the sunset was part of my early morning routine from one of the porches. Just an FYI there are multiple levels to this house, so the stairs will help keep you fit! It is a little uncomfortable/quirky, at first, coming and going through the shared private driveway, but I didn’t have any problems with the neighbors, however do be aware that their dogs do bark at times, but they are fenced in.

Wonderful quiet stay in the low country

We loved the residential, out of the way woodland location that was still only 20 min to stores and restaurants. At the end of a quiet sand track backing up to a marsh (perfect deer and bird-watching) with a roof-top deck for wonderful sunrises and star-gazing. Comfortable and clean, well-appointed house...we felt right at home and had a 10 minute walk to the local dog-friendly beach. Our host was very informative and responsive. We will certainly stay again.

new years get away

Loved the house and location. I always bring hand soap, I know that’s strange, but most places don’t have it. They had it in both bathrooms and the kitchen. Plenty of trash bags, dishwasher tabs, everything you would ever need!was warned about the neighbors barking dogs. Not really a big deal….. Would recommend this house….very nice

Peaceful lowcountry beauty

Our family was very comfortable and in need of nothing except more time for vacation. The second floor porch with chase lounge siting in the tree tops was great. The sunsets/stars at night and ocean/marsh in the widow peak. Great time in town, great time in state park. Very pretty drives. Every thing was as stated and visible in pictures. We reluctantly didnt bring our dog, wish we did. Neighbors dog is unfortunatly constantly barking. Thank yall so much for sharing your property!

About the host

Hosted by Debra Varner

Host profile image
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.
