We enjoyed a wonderful week at this property on Seabrook Island. Having stayed on Kiawah Island previously, we were curious about how this location would compare in its proximity to Freshfields and access to the beach. We were pleased to discover that the various shops at Freshfields were equally accessible while beach access was even easier (more private). Beach chairs were also provided, which we were grateful for.
The property itself is breathtaking when you enter through the front door and ascend the steps into the main living area. The tall windows overlooking the river let in warm natural light from sunrise to sunset. The dining area attached to the kitchen is thoughtful as well, but we particularly enjoyed sunset meals at the table by the tall windows. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking tools you may require, and there is a Keurig for those who prefer their coffee prepared that way. We greatly appreciated the quality and reliability of the appliances.
Given its proximity to the marsh, and the time of year, we were not surprised to encounter a few critters (and a salamander who visited the balcony overlooking the marsh each night, and who we were careful not to disturb). If you are not comfortable encountering wildlife or the occasional "intruder," I would not recommend staying near a river in the South in late summer/early autumn. Bring your bug spray, and your sunscreen, and enjoy a peaceful, private stay at this beautifully designed property.
