Seabrook Island, SC - input?

My husband and I are planning a vacation to Seabrook the first week of September. We%26#39;d like to rent a condo, however, site unseen it is difficult to know what we%26#39;re getting into. I have found a couple through Resort Quest, High Hammock and the ones at the Marina. Does anyone have experience with these properties or rental agency? Is all the shopping and dining by the marina? Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much for the help!

My husband and I are renting a condo at Pelican Watch Villas which we found on Cyberrentals. We had never been to Seabrook island(I found it on the internet) and stopped on our way home from a trip to Florida. It looks wonderful. We rented the condo from the owner and it was cheaper than renting from Resort Quest. It is right on the beach, first floor, one bedroom. Try Cyberrentals, you might have some luck.

PS, the woman we rented from has been so helpful, lots of information about Seabrook and she will answer any questions you might have if you were to rent her villa.

Resort Quest handles most of the rentals on Seabrook Island, but Seabrook Exclusives and Beachwalker also have rental units. Several individual owners rent on their own. Most of the rental companies rate their units in classes according to furnishings, so be sure to ask for the top or second rated units. The best villas to rent for access to the beach are Pelican Watch, one bedroom-two baths; Spinnaker, two bedrooms-two baths; and Sealoft, two bedrooms with loft-two baths. Fairway One units, if any are available would be a good choice, too. They are new, but only a couple are on a rental program. The marina villas are located in Bohicket Marina, near shops and several dining locations, but outside the gate at Seabrook and a ten minute drive to the beach. The newly opened shopping center at Freshfield Farms, just before you get to Seabrook, has shops, a grocery store with deli and one restaurant. Chez Fish on Betsy Kerrison Parkway is a popular dining choice. Be sure to try Rosebank Farms at Bohicket Marina for lunch. Have fun!

Thanks so much for the input so far. We%26#39;re excited. We%26#39;re thinking about relocating to Charleston and wanted to use this opportunity to check things out. We stayed on Hilton Head last year and had a great time but never really got to explore Charleston or the other areas.
