Innisfree-by-the-Sea retreat near Parris Is., beaches in Beaufort

Midway between Historic Beaufort, Parris Island, and the beach--and we provide a free beach pass. Spacious, recently built St. Helena Island home with private deepwater dock, lots of decks, and plenty of modern, up-to-date living and entertaining area for family and friends.

This gracious home spreads over 6.5 acres and has no neighbors as far as you can see, water on three sides, and over a hundred mature palms. One of
several properties used in the filming of the movie Forrest Gump,
Innisfree-by-the-Sea is convenient to Parris Island, Hunting Island
beaches, the Gullah Culture Center on St. Helena Island, as well as
the shops, historic waterfront, homes, and outstanding restaurants
of downtown Beaufort.

Air access is five minutes away at Beaufort County Airport. Parris
Island is 15 minutes away. You are also within an hour's drive of
Charleston, Savannah, Bluffton Outlets shopping and Hilton Head
Island. Best of all, you can bring your boat and be within 250 feet (the
length of our dock) of all the crabbing, shrimping, fishing and
boating you want in this location 17 naut. mi. from the Atlantic
Ocean, and 6 naut. mi. from the Intracoastal Waterway near St.
Helena Sound.

My wife says our island home is the closest thing to a South Seas
island you can get on this side of the world. From the huge master
bath with jetted tub where you're surrounded with palms, to the
gorgeous sunrise views over the back deck, you'll glory in nature
here. You'll see many varieties of egrets and herons--white, blue,
green--hanging out on the dock jutting into the wide channel of
our creek. You'll be tempted to view their antics with
binoculars all morning, until you see dolphin playing in the
currents, arching gracefully as if inviting you to play, to see
more. Grab the furnished crab trap and bait it with last night's
dinner leftovers to catch tonight's dinner (crab pot and spices
supplied in a large modern kitchen with plenty of freezer space).
Plan your day sitting around a large tile and wood table in a
breakfast area with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the water, or
in any of the well-furnished rooms in this home. Living and dining
rooms and bedrooms feature hardwood floors, and the two modern baths
with water jet tubs use broad tile flooring, as does the large,
fully furnished kitchen and eating area. Two queen beds and two twin
beds feature fine cotton sheets; towels are luxurious.
We can accommodate families or groups on vacation, or help you plan
for a larger occasion.
Whether for a large group or for a quiet getaway or a honeymoon,
Innisfree-by-the-Sea is a beautiful setting straight from chamber of
commerce pictures of Low Country living.
