Guests at Shelter Cove Villas can take in views of the tidal creek or marsh from the screened porch or deck of these cozy townhouses on Seabrook Island, or walk down to the crabbing dock. The Shelter Cove complex has its own community pool, so guests can also choose to stay close and sip drinks and sunbathe poolside.

These spacious two-bedroom villas are within walking, biking or driving distance of golf, tennis, horseback riding and the quaint shopping and dining of Freshfields Village, or, down-island to the Oceanfront Beach Club complex which has two swimming pools, restaurants and shops. Seabrook Island’s Property Owner’s Lakehouse offers an indoor Junior Olympic size swimming pool and 6,000 square foot Fitness Center. The Racquet Club has 15 Har-Tru Tennis Courts.

Seabrook Island is a private, gated community nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Edisto River Inlet. Seabrook Island features uncrowded beaches, serene scenery and a recent $31-million amenities update. Boasting two championship golf courses, a tennis club, an equestrian center for horse lovers and nearby deepwater Bohicket Marina for boating, fishing, water-sports and eco-tours, Seabrook offers something for everyone. And it’s all just 30 minutes from city attractions in Historic Charleston.
