We have many happy memories with our vacations at Seabrook. This is our family's fourth year at Seabrook /Pelican Watch over a several year time period. We were here last July 2008 and the highlights were seeing the sea turtles "boil" (come out of their covered nest), kayaking, and tours in Charleston. This year is more relaxed with walking, swimming at Seabrook, and shopping at the Tanger Outlet. We like to drive into Charleston and go on tours, shop, and dine.
As with other trip advisor participants, there have been maintenance issues every year with the condos that we rented. The first year was with the air conditioner, a major problem, the second visit with several issues, and the last two years with appliances primarily. It seems that they could better maintain the condos and improve their response time.
There is confusion every year with each condo offering or not offering the amenity card. The booking agent may not offer complete and correct information. It would be easier to spell out the information about the guest amenity cards and related cost specifically with that condo. If rebated, it covers the free, outdoor swimming pool and allows access to the other amenities. The fitness center has a fee of $10 per person/day. Of course, the tennis, horse back riding, and golf are for a fee. The tennis courts have a strict dress code. We are more relaxed and would appreciate a tennis court that has a casual dress code (shirt, shorts, running shoes instead of specifically tennis shoes, etc ) and is family friendly.
We appreciated the trip advisor advice to watch our exact speed especially after we arrived late after a 12 hour drive.
Overall, it is a nice complex and a nice vacation destination.

I have been a regular summer villa renter at Seabrook SC for over 6 years and unfortunately the maintenace of even 'Platinum' units has severely degraded during this time. Types of problems I ran into include disfunctional hot water heaters, filthy air ducts, noisy air conditioners, windows without blinds, and even breakage/shattering of shower doors.

The ResortQuest office used to be open 24hrs with on-site maintenance now it closes at 6pm. They have been working on the pool since last year and it's still not done. I wish they kept up the place properly because I have to say there are some really nice beaches in the area. A real shame.
