This was a great property for our family. Its not far from the pool or the beach and it was very clean. We also love that they offer an amenities card with the rental. We would stay there again.

Sherry, we are so happy your accommodations were comfortable! It is a fabulous cottage with lots of little extras. We hope you make a return trip to the island soon! Christine
First time staying on Seabrook Island. We had a wonderful time during our mother/daughter get away. The cottage was clean and as listed. Very well appointed. The screened porch was absolutely amazing and even better in person. We loved the use of the Beach Club and the owners really thought of everything for a pleasant stay. There were bikes, beach chairs and other gear as well. We would definitely rent this property again!

We’ve been to Hilton Head and Kiawah, but we hadn’t been to Seabrook Island before. Seabrook is the best of the three! 513 Tarpon Pond Road has it all and you won’t be disappointed. The views are beautiful, the house is immaculate, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully-equipped and the beaches are only a 5 minute drive. When we come back to Seabrook, we will definitely be staying at 513 Tarpon Pond.

This was our second stay at tarpon pond and we were thrilled to be back. The house has all the comforts of home and the screened porch is so perfect. The weather was warm and even in winter we sat outside and enjoyed watching all the different birds in the lagoon. We enjoyed using the bikes to ride to the beach and look forward to coming back in summer.
Our favorite place on Seabrook after coming here for 15 years,

We were very happy with our stay this summer. This is our 4th trip to Seabrook, and have stayed in 4 different properties. This cottage did not disappoint! Only negative is the kitchen isn't well stacked, and one of the bikes was not working. However, other than that, we had no problems!

We had a great time creating memories with our son and his family ( 4 Grands) in this beautiful location. The house was beautiful and as advertised. All the amenities were there and a bonus was the bikes The ping pong table was enjoyed by all. The covered patio was our favorite place to spend our time. Even though the weather was chilly we were able to wrap up in blankets and enjoy the view. The beds were very comfortable and plenty of spacious sleeping space. We hope to go back!!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about your stay at 513 Tarpon Pond. We're pleased that you enjoyed and were able to take advantage of the added amenities. Hoping you'll be back to visit soon!
This property was clean, beautiful, comfortable, and worked perfectly for my husband and two daughters. Access to both the beach and clubhouse area was minutes away via car and we never really had trouble finding a space to park. We drove around the island because I am pregnant, but it would have been an easy bike ride from the house to many key spots as well. We used the provided beach gear daily, and each time we visited a beach area, it was beautiful and uncrowded. Freshfields Village was a super easy drive; we enjoyed dining and shopping there throughout our stay. We loved Fuji Sushi Bar and Cantina 76, and sitting in the outdoor patio area at La Tela Pizzeria on our final night was a highlight! For those interested in Charleston dining, we would highly recommend Poogan's Porch, Locals Sushi and Sports Pub, and Vicious Biscuit. We're already looking for a window to return to Seabrook soon!

Lovely cottage on Seabrook Island
We have been vacationing on Seabrook or Kiawah for 25 years. This was the best place we have rented. The screened porch was the most popular place. The view was wonderful- the pictures just don't do it justice. The porch furniture was very comfortable so we spent a lot of time there. We also ate several dinner at the table there. The cottage was also comfortably furnished inside. There were also thoughtful things like hair dryers in every bathroom, a child gate for the stairs (our grandchildren were with us for a bit), and plenty of HANGERS (unusual for a rental). The location was also excellent. It is a short bike ride to the Beach Club pool or beach or a walk to the River Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our three weeks there and plan to go back next year!!

Hi Karen,
We're so glad you enjoyed your visit to 513 Sealoft! The owners have done a wonderful job remodeling and furnishing it! Thank you for taking the time to let us know - we truly appreciate it. We look forward to having you visit again!
Take care,

This was an excellent spot for a get away. Our main destination was Charleston, but we wanted to stay away from the bustle of the city. The house was in a beautiful development which was totally beautiful from the security gate entrance to the house. The house had a beautiful sea coast motif and the furniture was really comfortable. Anything you needed was supplied from dishes, spices, games, books, bikes, even little paper cups in the bathrooms! Definitely well supplied. House was very clean. We only used downstairs, but upstairs was just as lovely, but hot. Fan was available. Have no complaints about the property. Fun sitting on enclosed porch watching the egrets capturing fish! Location provided easy access to other islands and Charleston. Would definitely recommend to others. Only negative was getting the luggage up the steps, and that is no show stopper!

513 Tarpon Pond is a lovely cottage with a spectacular view. The cottage decor is perfect and very comfortable. We had a few family members who had to work virtually and there was plenty of room for them to situate and not interfere with one another. Having been family members of property owners on Seabrook Island, we have spent every summer here for nearly 30 years. We love Seabrook and were thrilled to find a cottage so close to our former property that was able to accommodate our large family. Having the amenity cards was great, as well, as we had access to SIPOA pools and the Lake House in the past and the cards gave us the Lake House and Club pool access. Everyone we spoke with at Coastal Getaways was courteous, helpful and efficient. We had a couple of issues that were promptly addressed. This was our first time renting, we had no issues with the rental process and will definitely rent again.
After having lived on Kiawah Island for three years, we wanted to experience Seabrook and all it has to offer. The cottage was beautiful and well-decorated, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There were urine stains on all of the rugs in the house, especially the large one in the living room, which unfortunately cannot be rolled up. Having a pet-friendly cottage, I would expect the owners to not have large un-removable rugs, or at least have washable ones so guests could always wash them if their pet has an accident. The stains were very off-putting and malodorous. In addition, the couch is very old and does have a very strong "dog" smell, even for a dog person. The view was lovely and the weather perfect, and the house was nicely decorated, but we would choose to stay somewhere else in the future unless they remove/replace the rugs and couch.

UPDATE- The owners take their reviews very seriously. All rugs have been replaced along with hiring a new cleaning service. This property is NO LONGER pet friendly! All couch cushions were sent out for reinforcement and slip covers cleaned professionally.
Deb, We are so sorry your experience was less than desirable. We only wish you had let us know while you were here and we could have been more pro-active. We have alerted the home owner and property manager. The Cottage is having rug and upholstery cleaning scheduled. Hope to see you back on our island again in the future! Christine
We have enjoyed Seabrook for a number of years. This property is in a great location with beautiful views. Only issue was house was not adequately cleaned prior to arrival but this was addressed by Property Manager

This home was perfect for our family. It was beautifully decorated & clean. The only thing (I won’t call it a complaint because we made it work), was the small number of washcloths. We had to do laundry every day in order to have enough, but like I said, compared to how nice everything else was, it wasn’t that bad...just a suggestion. We would LOVE to visit again & hope to make this our new summer vacation destination!

Absolutely Perfect!
This was our first time here and we loved it. House is very warm and inviting with a coastal theme and was updated and fully stocked. There was a great screened room in the back overlooking the lake which was an added plus (especially for morning coffee). Short bike ride to the beach (which we loved) and close to all - Absolutely perfect!
