About this property

8 Laughing Gull: BESTNEST by Beverly Serral *3rd Row Ocean*

  • Welcome to the 3BR/3BA BESTNEST at 8 Laughing Gull. Just three rows from the ocean, this spacious three-bedroom Sea Pines home puts one of Hilton Head Island's greatest pleasures right outside your door—the ability to walk to the beach in less than three minutes. With comfortable gathering spaces, a screened porch, renovated kitchen, and easy access to the Sea Pines Beach Club, 8 Laughing Gull is a wonderful home base for a relaxed Hilton Head vacation centered around the beach.

    THE SETTING: At 8 Laughing Gull, getting to the beach couldn't be much easier. Step out the side door and you'll have your toes in the sand just a few minutes later, making early morning walks, spontaneous afternoon swims, and evening trips to the beach part of the everyday routine. The Sea Pines Beach Club is also less than a ten-minute walk or five-minute bike ride away, while Harbour Town, South Beach Marina, golf, dining, shopping, and miles of bike paths are all easily accessible.

    THIS HOME IS IDEAL FOR: Families, couples traveling together, and friends looking for comfortable accommodations exceptionally close to the beach. Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms provide plenty of flexibility, while the open living and dining areas, screened porch, and outdoor deck offer multiple places to gather throughout the day.

    WHAT GUESTS LOVE MOST: Guests love being able to come and go from the beach without planning the entire day around it. Head home for lunch, take a break from the afternoon sun, or return to the sand for an evening walk whenever you'd like. Back at the house, the screened porch provides a favorite place to relax, while the open living and dining areas make spending time together easy. The home's proximity to both the beach and Sea Pines Beach Club is especially hard to beat.

    SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS INCLUDE: Sleeps 7 comfortably // 1 King bed // 1 Queen bed // 1 Full bed // 1 Twin bed. Three comfortable bedrooms and three full bathrooms provide inviting accommodations for families and friends, with luxury BESTNEST linens, comfortable bedding, and plenty of room to settle in for the week.

    FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN: The renovated kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare meals throughout your stay, whether you're packing lunch for the beach or gathering around the table for dinner. Quality cookware, matching dinnerware, generous serving pieces, ample glassware, Keurig and traditional drip coffee makers, and plentiful kitchen essentials make cooking at home easy. A convenient serving area with wine refrigerator provides additional space for drinks, snacks, and entertaining.

    ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: Third-row beach location, screened porch, open deck with gas grill, renovated kitchen, dedicated laundry room, open living and dining spaces, serving area with wine refrigerator, no carpet throughout the home, secure high-speed Wi-Fi, four televisions, and convenient access to the Sea Pines Beach Club, Harbour Town, South Beach Marina, golf, dining, shopping, and bike paths throughout Sea Pines.

    BESTNEST GUESTS ENJOY: Thoughtful comforts designed to make vacation easy, including luxury linens and towels, beach towels, a fully stocked kitchen, Keurig and traditional drip coffee makers, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, beach cart, cooler, bathroom essentials, laundry supplies, paper products for the duration of your stay, secure high-speed Wi-Fi, and responsive local Guest Services whenever assistance is needed.

Dogs are not allowed on furniture or beds and must be crated whenever left unattended. Traveling without a pet? No problem as there is NO pet evidence in this Nest.

    VEHICLES/ATTACHMENTS: Denied entry to Sea Pines include motorcycles/scooters, any vehicle categorized as an RV (this includes vans with hook-ups), boats, jet skis, and trailers.

    HOW FAR TO BEACH: Step out the side door and you'll have your toes in the sand in approximately two to three minutes.

From the day after Labor Day through mid-March, overnight guests may park directly at the Beach Club.

Perfect!

8 Laughing Gull was perfect - located steps from the beach, single level, impeccably clean and thoughtfully accessorized. We had everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen, laundry room and plenty of bath and beach towels. The home was light and bright - tile floors, sliding glass doors and skylights with comfortable beds. Perfect place, perfect stay!

Perfect vacation!

We had the best time at 8 Laughing Gull! The house is in a fantastic location and had everything that we could need. Not having to bring beach towels, chairs and a wagon was a gigantic plus!! The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was wonderful to work in. The beach was amazing and super easy to access. We had bikes delivered to the house and had the best time biking all around sea pines on the shaded paths. Hope we can return someday!

Everything needed was there !

We are a beach family and this place had it all! We were able to use all of the beach supplies at the place to spend the whole day on the beach. It was an easy walk to the beach. The place was well stocked for cooking and so was the laundry room to wash multiple loads of clothes. Everything was labeled and working which made things nice!

Just a few short minutes off the bike path! This home was less private with homes surrounding it, but it was a good trade off being closer to the beach!

The location of this property is ideal - short walk to the beach, nice walk to Sea Pines Beach Club and the nearby golf club. Easy bike ride to Sea Pines center for coffee and lunch. Short car ride to Harbor Town or Lands End area. Property was in good shape. Layout was very good for remote work requirements. Nice cluster of houses in on this side street. Was a great post-labor day getaway week for us.
