Overall was a good stay. House was cute, clean, plenty of linens, kitchen small but had what we needed. Mix up with LSV rental but was straightened out and also thought the house had bikes available as part of the home/price. Keurig did not work - they brought us a new coffee maker right away. Back screen door needs attention.

Coastal Vibes

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The rooms were exactly as pictured and the extra amenities like the bikes and beach chairs were perfect. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. Had one rain morning and enjoyed the puzzles, games, and back screened in porch. Would definitely come back again!

Great Property, Poor Communication

Our experience at this VRBO was unfortunately disappointing. We specifically chose the property because it advertised a crib, but upon arrival, we were told we had to rent one separately—a frustrating surprise for traveling parents. Additionally, the washing machine was broken during our stay. While we contacted maintenance promptly, there was no clear communication about when they would arrive or whether they had attempted to fix it, and the issue remained unresolved. These unexpected problems made our trip more stressful than it needed to be.

Easter getaway

Seabrook Island is a great spot that my family and I have visited for a number of years. This property is in a really nice part of the island close to all of the beach access points. Like everything on the island it is quiet and you feel like you are all alone. The house was very comfortable and easily fit our family of 4 and our dog. Would recommend.

Had a great five night stay. Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and biking to the beach club. House was nicely decorated and well equipped. We enjoyed several meals on the screen porch. Fave nearby restaurant was Salty Dog at the Bohicket Marina just a bit outside the gate.

The rental was as described. There was a lot to do without leaving the property. We stayed Thursday - Sunday and the only inconvenience was the workmen who showed up at 7:30 am Friday morning to build the new AC stand on the bedroom side of the unit.

Comfortable beach house

This house had just about everything we could have needed! The owners thought of everything; tv’s in every room, bicycles, beach chairs, gas grill (no brush to clean it though), coffee maker with keurig, liquid soap, and plenty of towels! The agency was wonderfully responsive when I informed them that I had left a couple of things behind! My only note for families with older adults…the main dining area in the house is a “high top” table with stools w/o backs. The dining table/chairs is outside on the screened in porch and it was too hot to eat outside!

Great Beach Cottage on Seabrook!

Loved our stay, the place was roomy for our small family, well stocked with what we needed, and in a very pleasant neighborhood. Appreciated the bikes and the beach chairs, plenty for all of us! Easy bike ride to the beach and pool. Can't wait to come back!

We had a great stay at the home. The cottage was clean and in great proximity to the beach, golf course and clubhouse. Only minor item to fix would be the bikes (flat tire) and the dishwasher (control board wasn’t working). Otherwise we had a great time.

Well-stocked home away from home

Attractive decor with shiplap and wainscoating, comfortable furniture. Well-stocked and organized kitchen with everything needed to prepare and serve meals. Books, games, DVDs, wide selection of cable channels. Collapsible wagon, folding chairs, sand toys for the beach. Amenity card gives access to the pools at the beach club. Great screened porch. Owners have obviously been responsive to suggestions made by previous guests to provide all that's needed to have an enjoyable vacation.

Great place for pets and their people

This home is good for pets and owners. We loved the screened porch and spent a good bit of time there. The dining table was perfect for family dinners and playing games. The home definitely needs a deep clean and updating. The available pans need to be replaced as well. The kitchen is functional, but only for one person. The location is really only driving distance to the beach. Overall the rental was accurate in the description for the most part.

Nice property

The mattresses were not very comfortable. The master bedroom needs to be changed out as well as the twin beds downstairs the owners need to put a bicycle tire pump somewhere in the house. Also it would be nice if the owners would put out some kind of and sign for what to do with the trash on what days

Pleasant Stay

The property was mostly as advertised. The pictures in the listing reflect a newer home, but we found wear and tear, especially the bathrooms (cracked tiles, shower curtains that really need changing out), old microwave, refrigerator door doesn't close well unless pushed shut. We did enjoy the screened in porch, however the cushions for the seating are stained and should be changed out as well. On a positive note, the location was very good and the mattress in the master bedroom is comfortable.

A lovely and relaxing place to stay

This clean cottage was well-suited to our family's needs and we enjoyed our stay here. While the kitchen was small and the cause of several 'traffic jams', it was fully functional and had everything we needed to dine-in (a necessary vacation modification due to Covid). We enjoyed sharing meals around the big dining table and numerous stools--everyone could eat together (this is often not the case with rental homes). The kids enjoyed the smart TV (although us adults could never figure out how to watch a local station for weather updates, etc!) The use of the beach bikes was most appreciated--we used them for getting around and even going out to Freshfields for some provisions. And we really liked the seaside and starfish themed decor. Lastly, the screened porch in back was a lovely place to relax.
