The space
Welcome to the Round House. Our home is a 4 bed/2.5 bath one of a kind, one-story round house built to withstand hurricanes. The circular, open design allows beach views from most of the house. Step out to your own private porch that wraps the house to feel the ocean breeze right on the beach. The home is fully furnished, recently updated, and accommodates up to 10 people.

THE BEACH: Enjoy the quiet and stunning private beach views from all around the house or step out to the deck that circles around the house to watch the sunrise, or for a relaxing afternoon sip or morning coffee. If you want to get closer, enjoy a detached standalone flat deck closer to your private beach. The beach offers a fantastic place to fish, paddle board and kayak. You may swim, or do watersports on the beach in front of the house but best times to do so is at high tide. We sometimes use My Tide Times app to track the tide. There are tidal oyster beds on the beach so bring swimming booties to enjoy the water.

Frequently asked questions:

BEACH:
There is a small private, sandy beach right in front of our house. The tides are generally low, and oyster beds are spread around the area, though they are usually not right on our sandy beach. Please enjoy the water by using common sense, and beach booties. We do no have kayaks or paddle boards, but we can get you in touch with local shops that will rent and deliver them.

PETS:
We welcome dogs. We do not discriminate based on breed or size, but due to the size of our home, we are unable to accommodate more than 2 L-breed dogs (50+ pounds) per booking. All dogs must be housebroken and up-to-date on shots. Dogs must be crated when left in the house unattended. We are unable to accommodate animals other than dogs at this time.

***The non-refundable pet fee is $100 per dog (max 2 dogs). The fee covers extra cleaning to reduce possible allergens. Please note that the pet fee will be charged after the booking is approved and must be paid before check-in.***

Please exercise caution with your dogs. Alligators may be present in any body of water. Dogs must be leashed at all times outside unless they are in an enclosed area. Dogs are allowed on the beach year-round.

Hunting Island State Park allows dogs on a leash in the park. They are not allowed in cabin areas or inside the lighthouse complex. They are also not allowed on the northern tip of the island to protest critical shorebird habitat. Pets are allowed in most other outdoor areas provided they are kept under physical restraint or on a leash not longer than six feet. Take advantage of the many walking trails located throughout the park.

Saint Helena Island is home to this vacation home. Hunting Island Lighthouse and Chapel of Ease are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Ocean Point Golf Course and Ocean Creek Golf Club.
