We had a wonderfully relaxing week at Xanadune! The views are picture-perfect, the golf cart was especially useful for a quick ride to the beach, and the grill was great for those evenings we were too tired to explore restaurants. We loved our stay!

Perfect for birders
This is the third time we stayed here. It a wonderful place to watch the sunrise and the birds. In the morning herons, egrets, and ibises fly from their roosts to where they will spend the day. In the evening they returned. I counted several hundred at a time. We really enjoyed the house and the location.

Third stay- always great!
My family of 4 has been to this house twice before. We like it so much that we brought friends this time. 3 couples very comfortably fit in this house. The kitch/living room space is so great for big dinners and games and relaxing. We always enjoy the state park access. Everything is clean and nice!

Lovely beach house; had to leave too soon!
This house is excellent. The Carolina Room on the back has lovely views of the marsh and great A/C. Golf cart is a fun add. Island is big enough to bike around and enjoy yet small enough to feel cozy and homey. Includes a pass to nearby Hunting Island State Park, which has great beaches. Only bummer is that we had to leave five days early due to Hurricane Debby, and the bed in the main bedroom wasn't super-comfy (though it is large!). Lots of space to put your stuff, lots of amenities for people and dogs, and a fun vibe overall. We hope to come back, perhaps not during hurricane season.

Perfect beach week!
My family had a great time! The house was just right for my us. It was super clean and the beach was only a short golf cart ride away. We especially loved the sunroom - we got up every morning in time to fix our coffee and watch the sunrise over the marsh. Thank you!!

Great week!
We loved our stay in this home. The location can't be beat...privacy and a gorgeous view! The beds were comfortable, and we had enough space to spread out when desired. The Carolina room and golf cart were highlights! Unfortunately, in the past year we have discovered our kids are allergic to dogs, so we won't be able to rent this house again - fur was on the carpet and some on the furniture. Otherwise we would be repeat customers! Thank you for an amazing week!

Nature Lover’s Dream
We couldn’t have been happier with our month stay at Zanadune . The house is spacious , clean , comfortable , and has the most magnificent views of the marsh / ocean . We spent many hours enjoying the view from the Carolina Room and the main living area . The use of the golf cart made trips to the beach and pool a breeze . We also appreciated the pass to Hunting Beach State Park . We went many times during our stay . Communication with the owners was great . They were very gracious hosts . The island is so lovely , a bird lover’s paradise . It isn’t far from historic Beaufort and Port Royal . We enjoyed tours and visited many nice restaurants in the area . We can’t wait to stay again , the house was perfect for our needs .

Just as beautiful a 2nd time!
We stayed here over Christmas and loved it. There is plenty of space for our family of 4 (2 teenage daughters). The kitchen has everything you need. The closed in porch was our main spot when it rained. We used the pass to the state park and enjoyed that! Definitely hope to stay again. Highly recommend!

Summer celebration
I loved the house! This vacation was a graduation celebration for me, as well as a fun trip before my 13-year-old begins 8th grade next week. I was nervous about the location; however, the golf cart made the trip to the beach the quickest we had ever had!
My family & I will be back!
