With its white clapboard exterior and powder-blue window shutters, this traditional home is the belle of the ball in Charleston. Step into a Southern scene of four-poster beds, floral wallpaper and palm prints in each of the bedrooms. While there is plenty of old-school charm in this townhouse, its recent refurbishment included some modern pops, like glamorous marble bathrooms with gold accents. In the living space, a kitchen, sofas and banquette seating are perfect for group debriefs after a long day. For a real taste of this part of the world, nab one of the wicker seats on the veranda for sundowners – preferably of the bourbon kind – before wandering a short distance to one of the city's famous restaurants or bars.

Swing Kings

Surrounded by lagoons on all sides, this low-country home is tucked into the flora and fauna of Hilton Head Island. The gracious nature of the home makes it ideal for both a short summer weekend and long stay alike. Wander through the elegant courtyard and find yourself at ease upon entering the living room reminiscent of a scene from Town and Country magazine. Wicker chairs and colourfully upholstered furniture are dotted throughout. Outside, spend hours in the pool before heading out for the day’s adventure. Sea Pines Resort has an outdoor activity or amenity for everyone, from walking and horse-riding trails to five miles of pristine beaches and famed golf courses. At the day’s end back on the patio, turn on the Sonos speaker, kick back in an Adirondack chair, and toss some patties on the BBQ.

Wicker

If you’re looking for a slice of a simpler life in the oldest city in Georgia, then this is the home for you. Step through the threshold and see exactly what we mean – hardwood floors, antique furniture pieces, floral wallpaper and sage green accents, all combining to present a uniquely charming space. But even with all that, it’s hard beat the real highlight – the sensational location right in the heart of Savannah, with the historic Oglethorpe Square right across the street and a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and shops on your doorstep. 

Gateway to Savannah

Arriving at this home is a bit like falling into Charleston’s version of The Secret Garden – a traditional shopfront gives very little indication of the impressive homes that sit behind it. Part of a larger complex, there’s a beautifully landscaped communal garden and terrace for guests to enjoy when the weather is just right. Step inside to find a careful balance of traditional southern style with modern furnishings for the 21st century traveller. Although the kitchen isn't huge, the open-plan layout of the ground floor makes it a delight to socialise and host in. Plus, you're located just one block from Upper King Street with its abundance of excellent restaurants, bars and shops. You're also just a twenty-minute walk from the Charleston Historic District, with its fascinating landmarks, and a short drive will take you to the sands of Folly Beach. 

Carolina Wren

This beautiful home has a prime location overlooking the Palmetto Dunes lagoon. Just ten minutes’ walk from Hilton Head’s dazzling sands, it’s an ideal base for a beach holiday. There’s something very classic about the interior, with muted neutrals, layered lighting and high-quality furnishings. The lofty panelled ceilings in the lounge and the Roman-style columns in the entrance hall give an added sense of grandeur to the living space.  Large windows overlook the lagoon and the private pool, where we imagine you’ll spend most of your time. Holidays here are all about enjoying the perks of the Palmetto Dunes community, with three world-class golf courses, a tennis centre, restaurants, shops and free use of the Dunes Buggy. Outdoorsy types will love the forty kilometres of paved bike paths and the Atlantic surf. After a long day of sun, sea and fun, we can see you sipping a Long Island iced tea on one of the deck chairs that have been thoughtfully set up by the lagoon, before enjoying a balmy evening dining on the terrace. Perfection.

White Ibis

Amid sandy strands and a network of lagoons, this villa is in one of the most picturesque areas of South Carolina. In just ten minutes, you can move from the water basin's grassy banks to the ocean through the scenic woodland between the two. But really, you never need to leave the house, with its stunning private pool, an array of balconies and verandas and a basketball court cushioned between the trees. Huddle around the fire pit on winter evenings or cook up a BBQ on the grill by the pool in summer. Inside, the bedrooms have large beds and deluxe furnishings, while the sunken living room makes for a great space to relax in front of the TV. Rent kayaks and paddle boards by the dock of the lagoon and catch an unforgettable sunset from the water.

Smoke on the Water

Spanning two floors, this elegant home embraces its historic setting while offering 21st-century luxuries. Warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive, you'll find a whitewashed living area with contrasting window frames, dining chairs and accent tables. Upstairs, the serene bedrooms boast traditional characteristics that further the theme of championing past and present, with wooden beams, original hardwood floors and exposed brick fireplaces providing eye-catching charm in abundance. Outside, you'll find a beautiful shared garden and terrace where you can dine alfresco under ancient Charleston trees while you watch the sunset. If you decide to venture out, you’re just one block from Upper King Street with its wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Checkered

Just near the Cooper River and Riverfront Park, this elegant 1940s home has character in abundance and cool, rustic style. Step through the classic white facade, and past huge contemporary glass panes for a stylish sage green, gold, and natural palette. The kitchen is fresh and contemporary, with everything you need to cook from scratch for your big group. Serve your spreads on the modern-boho dining table, with its pretty rattan chairs. The dark-honey floors will take you to several comfy lounges – all kitted out with big windows and green views. The grounds are just as impressive and beautiful. Serene and private, you'll be surrounded by giant oaks and plenty of space for a party or small wedding under the fairy lights. The home is also the dream location – super close to the airport, downtown Charleston, and three sandy beaches. This place makes for one stylish South Carolina getaway.

Damn Fine Coffee

Location is everything at this historic home, perfectly positioned between Savannah’s vibrant dining and shopping scenes around Oglethorpe Square and Columbia Square, as well as its leafy parks. Inside, you’ll find immaculate interiors that impress just as much as the setting. Ideal for a multi-generational family or a large group of friends, the home offers two elegant king-size bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a bunkbed room perfect for children sharing, and a king-size sofa bed downstairs for added flexibility. Tailormade for socialising, the spacious, free-flowing living and dining areas invite everyone to gather together. And when the evening draws in, you can keep the night flowing around the fire pit in the garden.

Historical Hideout

On a picturesque street of swaying palm trees sits this traditional Victorian home. Built in 1885, it has a square, symmetrical exterior, covered porches, high ceilings and exposed beams. Inside, however, the home has been brought bang up to date. A modern kitchen with moody cabinets set the tone for this family home, which casually blends past and present design styles. The living area is just big enough to comfortably seat its eight guests andthere's a wonderful outdoor porch. Upper King Street, with its wide selection of restaurants, bars and shops, is just one block away. Historic downtown Charleston is a little farther away but is no less accessible. Hop in a taxi to be there in moments or make the short twenty-minute walk to admire the city’s rich history.

Summer Duck

Space, warmth and greenery all contribute to the laid-back luxury feel of this modern home. Behind trendy, pale-grey wooden cladding, find an airy open-plan living area, brightly lit by tall windows. It flows on with a kitchen of granite counters, opulent sofas, and a table tennis room with views of the island's famous Greenwood Forest trees. Fall into a relaxed mood, lulled by the gentle maritime blues and calming creams of the décor, among fresh, organic surroundings. Step out to a refreshing pool and sun deck, and of course, alfresco dining next to the gas barbecue comes as standard. Just like this house, the natural world is a huge part of the local area's charm. This whole barrier island is eco-friendly and has a myriad of beaches. The house is in a quiet resort preserve with a protected wildlife forest between it and the mainland. With this location, you’ll feel agreeably separate from big city life. But at just twenty kilometres from crossing state lines into Savannah, Georgia, you can discover boldly flavoured seafood, antebellum architecture, and quirky shops – although it’s unlikely you’ll want to stray so far from your sanctuary.

Woodpecker's Island

Southern family living meets beach charm at this home on Hilton Head Island. The wraparound porch, pool and ping-pong table make it the perfect place to while away long afternoons in the sun. When you're ready to get out and about, you won't have to go far to get to world-renowned beaches and golf courses. Coligny Plaza – one of the livelier areas of the island – is also nearby, so there are several restaurant to try out. But we wouldn’t blame you for just having an ice cream before heading home to fire up the grill as the sun goes down over. There’s nothing quite like a cookout to end the day.
