A private movie theater, no ticket required
A dedicated theater room, plus a 98 inch smart TV elsewhere in the house. The popcorn machine is, in Dave’s words, for nostalgia only.

View of crowded Coligny Beach in peak summer from our beach access

A dedicated theater room, plus a 98 inch smart TV elsewhere in the house. The popcorn machine is, in Dave’s words, for nostalgia only.

Wall checkers, wall chess, foosball, air hockey, Pac-Man, and Fast & Furious. This is the room that decides whether anybody actually leaves for dinner.

Recovery gear most rental houses on this island do not have, which matters more than it sounds after a day of golf or a long drive in.

A private pool and hot tub, and a walkable stretch of the island so the car can stay where it is.

Alfresco dining for the whole crew, seating for sixteen, which is the number that decides whether a big group eats together or in two shifts.

A private outdoor bath with a teak rain shower. It is counted in the five bathrooms, and it is the one everybody talks about afterwards.
Book direct

Availability comes from the property system, which is also what the booking channels read. It is the same ledger, not a copy of it.
Lowcountry barrier island in South Carolina, known for its beaches, bike paths, and golf. Peaks in summer, with a strong spring and fall shoulder.
The pin is approximate, to the neighbourhood rather than the door. It is the same location published on the owner’s own listing. The exact address comes with your booking confirmation.

Resort vibes all yours
Three houses in three states, all owned by the same person and none of them handed to a management company. So when something needs sorting out mid-stay, the person who answers is the person who can actually decide.
530 guest reviews across the three, built up over ten years. That is the part of this business that cannot be bought or rushed.
No. Booking on this site is booking direct with the owner, so there is no platform service fee added to your total. Nightly rate, cleaning, pets, and tax are all shown before you commit, so there is nothing waiting for you at the last step.
You are dealing with the owner rather than a platform, there is no service fee on top of the nightly rate, and if something needs sorting out during your stay you are talking to the person who owns the house.
Yes. Card details are never entered on this site and are never stored by it. Payment is handled by the property management system that also holds the calendar, over an encrypted connection, on payment infrastructure built for it. This site collects your dates and your contact details, and nothing else.
Yes. All three houses are pet friendly. A pet fee applies and is shown as a separate line in your total before you pay.
North Forest Beach. The house is the fifth from the beach, a two minute walk to the sand at 0.1 miles, and a fifteen minute walk to Coligny Plaza at 0.7 miles. You can park the car on arrival and leave it there.
The pool can be heated year round. Heating is included from April through September. Outside those months it is a seasonal daily charge, which is waived on longer stays, and it appears as its own line in your total before you agree to anything.
The Beach Escape HHI sleeps up to 17, across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
Check-in is after 4:00 pm and check-out is by 10:00 am.
Three houses in three states that do not peak in the same season, so if these dates are gone, another one is often wide open.
