Our host Leanne, was super helpful and everything could possibly need and much more in the loft. It was the cutest place and located just down the road from Harbortown, which is so much fun! Saw several deer and their babies right next to the seal loft! She even provided beach chairs and umbrella, which we used every single day at Sea Pines Beach
Sealoft was an amazing retreat for us. We felt right at home before we even arrived with the superb communication from the owner. We were late arriving but the check in process was still simple and efficient. Sealoft became home for a week as soon as we arrived. The kitchen was great, bed comfortable and the outside spaces amazing. We loved to sit on the porch and drink coffee and listen to the wind blow in the pines above.
Sealoft's location is also great being close to Harbour Town. Plenty of nearby restaurants to either walk, bike or drive to. We really enjoyed CQs just down the street from Sealoft. The biking trails are excellent so be sure to rent a bike. I was able to reserve easily through the Seapines website and they deliver and pickup. The beach is close by and we went before 10:00 in the morning and were able to park at the Seapines beach club. It did seem to fill fast and then you park at a different lot and the trolley brings you back. If you have bikes, its only about 15 minutes to bike to the beach.
We absolutely loved Sealoft and will definitely be back. We need a relaxing week and that's exactly what we got!
Nicely decorated, fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Best location in Sea Pines. Excellent communication although we never needed anything.
Perfect choice to stay right beside Harbourtown, especially if you like the feel of being in your own forest among the deer and the birds singing. All within a 10-minute walk to the harbour with all its restaurants and shops. The treehouse accommodation is charming and above-all well equipped and absolutely spotless. There is absolutely nothing the owner hasn't thought of in making this a true home for her guests. Even the decor and exhibits the charm of its host. Perfect!
What a special place in the midst of Harbor Town a quiet refuge … This rental is perfect! Comfort and clean and stocked with everything for a perfect week in Hilton Head with our family of 4. This is our second vacation at this Sea Loft and never disappointed.
Great new outdoor furniture too. LeeAnne is the best and communicates every step
of process… perfect rental.
This Sea Loft was perfectly located for us. It was within walking distance of Harbor Town, and the deer came right up to our loft. We cooked most of our meals at the loft with the great amenities. The trails were great for bike riding, and the little shops were cool. Our host, LeeAnn was awesome. We can't wait to return for our next adventure.
What an adorable, eclectic little loft! We absolutely loved waking up every day surrounded by woods and deer. The nature trail at the end of the road was an unexpected bonus which we walked nearly every day. The loft is exactly as pictured with tons of little eclectic details in every room. The only suggestion, if even possible, would be to put a gate or door in front of the spiral staircase. It kind of made us nervous every time we walked into the kitchen. The loft itself was very clean with a nice, cold AC. All in all it was a very memorable and relaxing vacation, a perfect couple's retreat. I'm so glad we found it.
As others have stated, the location is perfect. It is peaceful (no neighbours on the other side of the wall) and the surrounding nature is so lush. We have stayed in the Sea Pines area for 8 years and now prefer this spot. It is awkward to get downstairs with laundry, but it's not a deal breaker for us. I do wish there was a screen on the door so that on nice days the fresh outdoor air could come in. I appreciated the bits of everyday needs in the pantry and the abundance of plates and bowls to choose from, but it meant that there are no empty cupboards for our own food and supplies. Would we return? Absolutely. Thank you Lee Ann, you are the perfect host.
Staying at Deer Island Sea Loft was a pleasant surprise. Right beside the busy Harbor Town area is this almost untouched nature area with homes in the trees. If you are looking for a rustic stay in nature with all the amenities you need then this is the place for you. Our loft was beautiful and clean with a host that made us feel very welcome. We will be back again!
My husband and I enjoyed a week in this cozy cottage. It was exactly as described in the listing but even better. The home was clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable for the two of us. The location is ideal - steps away from Harbor Town - but tucked away enough to allow for a feeling of privacy and quiet. The cottage has two well equipped full bathrooms and an adorable what appears to be newly renovated kitchen. We loved coming back to the cottage in the evening and enjoying time in the spacious but cozy living space. We felt as though we were in a tree house. Lee Ann was extremely accessible and responded promptly to all of my requests. We look forward to booking this property on our next visit to HHI.
Uniquely quaint tree house in pleasant surroundings.
Excellent quick communication with owners. Description of accomomodation is accurate. Private, very comfortable, clean well maintained home, well provided kitchen amenities including cookware, glassware, serving dishes, cutlery, basic spices & condiments quality linens (including a nice touch - clean cotton table placemats and serviettes)& interesting small library - all so appreciated! Guide book for house and area services useful. Area is quiet & restful; loads of bike paths in beautiful Sea Pines part of the island.
My wife and I stayed for three weeks in February as a winter getaway. Check in was easy and Lee Ann was extremely helpful and friendly throughout. She definitely goes beyond the norm to make sure things are okay.
The unit can sleep up to four, but two would seem to be a better comfort level for the size of the house. The double decks were very pleasant for reading and relaxing during the pleasant afternoons. The bathrooms are small, but functional and the same can be said for the kitchen space.
The house is very close to the busy Harbour Town area, but its location on Deer Island isolates it and makes for a very quiet and enjoyable atmosphere.
It is an easy walk to the shops and the lighthouse. Walking and biking are very accessible from the house and it is a short drive to the beach locations.
We had a very nice stay and certainly did enjoy the deer and wildlife throughout as well.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Stuffy, only two small windows when pleasant outdoors.
Uncomfortable seating. Venting and ceiling fans in serious need of cleaning. Kitchen well stocked but out weighed by lack of comfort.
Thanksgiving was amazing at this Deer island treasure. The well stocked kitchen to cook meals, to the great cozy comfortable beds and main room to watch the Macy Day parade on a rainy morning with our older children. The majestic pine forest surrounding the multi level deck was enjoyed by all especially the daily visits by the deer family. Location is great. Walk to Harbor Town nightly for sunsets and a great nature trail at end of road. Owner communication was superb and so helpful , her island recommendations were great and beach access suggestions were welcomed and used by us. Our family Thanksgiving was was lovely because of the comfortable unique home. We will recommend this SeaLoft vacation destination to friends and family for sure. Perfect place to rest and reset as well as make new memories.
Spent a fabulous week in this beautiful sealoft! Super clean and well appointed with all the amenities we needed. Comfortable beds! Enjoyed sitting on the multi-level deck listening to the sounds of nature while being just a short walk from Harbortown. Lee Ann was super easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our messages. Would definitely stay again!!
The Sea Loft was all we had hoped it would be and more! We loved seeing all the deer and being close to Harbour Town! LeeAnn is THE BEST hostess, hope to make it back here one day!
Such a cozy, comfortable, and clean cottage! It has an open floor plan and was just ideal for the three of us! It’s well-stocked/well-organized with all that you need. The owner is very helpful and gave suggestions for restaurants and places nearby. We really enjoyed riding bikes! It’s just a short walk to Harbour Town. This was our second visit and we can’t wait to come back again! Thanks Lee Ann!

This is a beautiful property and the exact location we were looking for. This unit is wonderfully decorated with all amenities you could need. Walking distance to Harbortown and a bike ride to the beach. Loved seeing all the deer. The owner was great - good communication and gave us great tips on places to go, eat, etc. Will definitely return.
I've stayed in 5 different Deer Island houses in the past. This one has the best layout by far. It feels open and roomy. And the quality of the linens in the master bedroom was not lost on me! One more thing - this house was the best-equipped short-term rental I've ever stayed at in 25 years - every spice you can think of, foil and plastic wrap, plastic containers for leftovers, and on an on. It was a pleasure and we had a blast.
Nature retreat with all the amenities of a more upscale experience nearby.
The space itself is a charming, welcoming retreat. The location provides a quiet setting in nature, with activities and amenities walking or biking distance. Truly the best of both worlds to build your vacation. LeeAnn is a wonderful host, providing information about island opportunities and check ins to be certain you have everything you need. I highly recommend renting a bike for your stay! The paths throughout the island making biking not only a fun activity but viable transportation option.
Spent the week in this cute cozy loft villa when we came for the RBC Heritage golf tournament. Location was perfect for walking to the tournament and surrounding spots in Harbour Town. Unique accommodation made the week extra fun!
Lee Ann was awesome! I somehow messed up the vacation dates, and Lee Ann was so amazingly gracious. She communicated wonderfully and truly cared about the success of our vacation. She provided a long list of her favorite eating establishments, which was so helpful. She checked in to make sure everything was fine - as comfortable as renting from a good friend. And, their place is so fun! Such a unique setting that was so quiet too. Just a short walk from busy Harbour Town, but once you cross the wooden bridge to Deer Island, life feels much simpler. The place was well stocked with nothing lacking. Picture show the well decorated decor, yet it feels so homey too. The glassed in lower area that locks was also great to keep our bikes, which we brought. Celebrating our 30th anniversary made us feel a bit like kids living in a treehouse for a week - big fun. Watching deer walk around all week was a bonus too. And if that isn't enough, the mirror in the master makes you look ten pounds skinnier. To sum it up: the place is great! the owners are great! the vacation was great! Thanks Lee Ann!

About the host
Hosted by Lee Ann Miller
My husband Daryl and I (Lee Ann) recently sold our 9 room bed and breakfast in Amish Country, Ohio. Still wanting to stay in the area of hospitality, we purchased this unique sealoft on Hilton Head Island. We welcome you and will try our best to help you build memories on your vacation to South Carolina.
Why they chose this property
Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island has a long standing incredible reputation. We are thrilled with the neighborhood and community here in the sealoft area. A 5 minute drive to the beach and a 15 minute bike ride makes this the perfect vacation destination.
What makes this property unique
The design of the sealofts are reminiscent of the modern day tree house. Elevated off of the ground they allow for incredible views of the pine forest and surrounding wildlife. The shape, structure and layout of the sealoft sets this space apart. The sealoft has great access to the beach and shops of Harbor Town and is also tucked away in the forest.
