Private Island Ocean Front Serenity

Our group of 8 had an amazing stay in St Helena. It was our first time here and we really enjoyed our trip. We had 3 boys comfortably sleep in one upstairs bedroom and 2 teenage girls in the other. There was a bathroom upstairs for them to share. Our 17 year old girl got a bedroom to herself downstairs & we shared the master which was really nicely redone with modern accents—the shower is amazing. It was great having an extra full bath downstairs as well. The kitchen was really well equipped with anything and everything imaginable. We brought bikes but was nice to have extra there and the kayaks were a hit with the kids. They went out one evening at sunset and were greeted by dolphins and experienced a rainbow all at the same time! We saw a baby turtle on the beach and some nurse sharks (washed up in the morning). LOTS of nature. Hunting island beach was a close drive everyone enjoyed. We took trip to a Beauford one day where there were more options for restaurants, shopping & exploring. Lots of history & gorgeous old homes. The forts were cool & kids free to see the museum there. Bought scallops, mahi & shrimp to make for dinner one night at the Gay fish Co—all fresh & delicious! It was really hot & humid during our stay, and the property (which is actually on a river I believe) is why the waves & winds are mild but bugs were fierce! The water was really shallow & warm but beautiful quiet non-commercial beach. Incredibly gracious hosts. Thank you!!

We had a great stay. House was clean and well kept. Owners were very responsive and checked to make sure everything was good.

House was nicer than in the pictures. Pool & beach were both easy 3-5 minute walks. Front porch cool in the mornings for coffee and reading. Only negatives were the remote batteries had to be replaced several times, no frying pans available, no can opener (however, every other small appliance & utensils available). House supposed to come with a grill. A grill was in a box on the front porch when we arrived, and we had to put it together (this was not at all expected) Overall, very nice stay!

The property is exactly as shown and described. It has lots of things to make your stay comfortable. Videos, streaming, books, even games, and crayons for the kids. A nice large kitchen table that was able to seat our large group and the barstools were good for staggered meals. They have everything you could think of for the kitchen. The screened in porch was a treat! The little kids enjoyed the pools and the playground in the same area. The middle teen loved the basketball court. We had a lot of fun playing together. Things to consider if you visit....my adult teens were not as thrilled as the younger kids and teens. They wanted more to do without having to drive 45 min to an hour. The rest of us loved it. The 19 year olds, not so much. I found the area to be great for what I was looking for in a vacation. There was even a great walk-in clinic nearby to help out when I caught strep. The Lowcountry Clinic was helpful and even directed me to the closest Walgreens pharmacy. It was an excellent vacation.

My family and I really enjoyed the area and activities. The owner was already aware of concerns before our arrival and has promised to have the coffee pot fixed, electrical issues addressed and cleaning improved.

Our trip was absolutely amazing! This location is up to date, has everything you could need! Also the kitchen and master bath have recently been remodeled and absolutely to die for. Location is perfect, walk right out to an amazing view, just steps away from the beach. Very secluded (compared to other beach resots/vacay spots), was not a busy location so was able to relax and not be overwhelmed with other guests. Kids enjoyed having options between beach and pool and even loved the nightly walks.

The house was very roomy and had a ton of sleep space. The updates to the house are beautiful! We loved the wide variety of wildlife that was seen and the calmness of the water for the kiddos. Mosquitos were a hassle, but everything else was perfect!

This property is excellent for a family vacation! Property is close to beach and has lots of room to spread out. Our vacation at the property was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. We are already talking about booking it for next year. Location of house is perfect to visit other islands and beaches in the area. Property owner is very helpful and quick to resolve any issues. A+++ property!!!!

This was a great place to stay. Description accurate! Great place for kids and a great place to relax. Definitely plan to book again!

This property is great for a larger family. Easy access to the beach, no large waves (shallow for a LONG way), not crowded, and lots of wild life (sand dollars, sting rays, birds, crabs, etc). The bugs even after dark are AWFUL!! The house is adequate and clean, but the kitchen leaves some things to be desired. Everything we needed, bring your own beach towels. The property owner is great at communicating. Bikes, kayaks and beach chairs plus a wagon were bonuses to have to use! You won't regret coming here.
