Oceanfront, Private Beach Access

Nestled right on the Atlantic in the Sea Pines Plantation, 22 Black Skimmer Rd is frequently praised as a dreamy, family-friendly escape — the kind of place where you make lifelong memories. Guests consistently highlight its fantastic location, with private beach access via the owner’s own pathway, so you’re just steps away from the sand yet still tucked away in a peaceful, private setting. And Sea Pines itself is a world-class community, with PGA golf, dining, extensive bike trails, racquet sports facilities and some of the world's most beautiful beach at your fingertips.



This spacious home masterfully blends beach cottage charm with modern comforts. With six bedrooms and 6.5 baths, it can comfortably sleep large families or multiple generations. The layout is well-designed: there’s an open-plan living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with adjacent BBQ grill, a formal dining room, and a dedicated work space/office — plus an elevator, making it accessible for guests who prefer not to use the stairs.



Outside, the property really shines. The private pool (16’ × 34’) is a favorite among guests — beautifully maintained, often heated on request, and surrounded by a lush backyard garden. The upstairs deck overlooking the ocean provides a relaxing spot to unwind, dine, or just take in the sea breeze.



Inside, guests say the home is very well stocked — top-notch kitchen gear, plenty of towels, and smart-sized common areas make it easy to cook, entertain, and hang out comfortably. Multiple flat-panel TVs and a reliable internet connection (10 MB broadband) also make it a great mix of getaway and functional home base.
