Forget the pictures you see here. What you get is far superior. From the moment we entered through the front door, my kids and I were blown away by the panoramic ocean views. Water, waves, sand and sky from every window. Forget rentals that are a "short stroll" to the beach, Ron's place is on the beach and you can feel it and hear it and see it, even if you never step outside. That's what I wanted. You can feel close to the ocean from the kitchen sink, to the master deck to the dining table. Pack a bikini, flip flops and a toothbrush. Everything else is here. Even the shampoo and soap is high end and smells delicious. The pool is next door but far enough to not ruin the quiet and sound of the ocean. Renting bikes involved a phone and my index finger and we enjoyed riding them to the market for Starbucks every morning. Passing the horse stables by bike was especially enjoyable for my littlest daughter. The neighbors are full time residents and were as scarce or available as I wished them to be. I thought their friendly smiles and passing salutations were scripted by Ron! What great folks. The elevator made toting anything from ground level a non issue. The house is pristine in terms of cleanliness and finished with quality materials. It is well built and beautifully laid out. I'm spoiled and I was tickled with how well equipped the home was. Even the decor is Pottery Barn trendy with a beachy capriciousness to it. There is every type of CD for any genre of music you might enjoy and an arsenal of Videos for the pickiest viewer. When the sun set the first night we were there, I knew this was going to be one memorable getaway. You know the place that feels so good and inspires you to write your first novel, compose a song or fall in love? This is that place. You can reconnect here. Its just wonderful. |

| We've been vacationing on Seabrook for 10 years and this is by far the best house we've stayed in. The main deck is only a few yards from the beach, the location can't be beat, and the owner is amazing to work with. |

| We just spent two incredible weeks at the Lanio's beautiful beach home!! During this time, we were visited by various family members- 9 adults and 3 baby grandchildren! We cooked almost every night in the great kitchen. We saw countless dolphins, sunsets, and even a loggerhead sea turtle! When the kids tired of the beach, they walked next door to the new pool complex! The golf course was just across the street. My daughters commented that they felt they were living in a Nicholas Sparks novel! This was a vacation of a lifetime. Location, location, location! |

| We spent a weekend in May at this beautiful beachfront home in anticipation of our two week rental in June for our family reunion! It was everything we had hoped for, and cannot wait to share this with all our family members in two weeks time! |

Rain or shine...the dolphins are waiting to entertain you from early morning until late evening. What fun we had watching them from the porch and while walking on the beach. The house and all of the amenities could not have been better. The Ya Ya's have vacationed all along the coast for the past 9 years and voted this property as the "best ever". The owners are wonderful and so are their neighbors:) Making plans to return ASAP! |

We spent a long weekend with three other couples at your very comfortable beach home. Everyone was extremely happy with the accomadations. Upon arrival we all had discussed taking a sunset cruise or a dolphin watching tour. After viewing the sunset from your deck we knew a cruise would only be disappointing. The next morning while having coffee on the deck we were treated to endless incredible dolphin watching. Again a tour would only be disappointing. We cooked in your well equipped kitchen and enjoyed walks and sitting on the beach only a few steps from the house. I hope we can visit again and stay longer.
Thanks Mike & Libby McKinney |

We just returned from 9 awesome days at Ron's place. The whole experience was perfect. Ron was very helpful and represented the place spot on! The location is so beautiful- we saw many dolphins daily, heavenly sunsets- the water was very calm for our little girls and the beach club/pool couldn't be any closer. This was our first visit to Seabrook but won't be our last as long as we can rent Ron's place again! |

| This was our third stay at the house and it just doesn't get any better. (Well, maybe unless I owned it.) As always, we had a blast and we'll be booking it again soon for our winter, and next years summer trip. |

| Our extended family has been enjoying the Carolina coast every summer for the past 25 years and this was by far the best rental experience. The house is beautiful, the location is perfect, the sunsets were spectacular, and the dolphins up close were awesome! The house is very well-equipped and the beds are heavenly. Would highly recommended this beach house to the most discriminating vacationer. |

| 6/14/08 ... We spent a week at the beach house and had a great time. The house was right on the beach with a beautiful view and within walking distance to the club pool. My entire family thoroughly enjoyed the week they spent there. I would strongly recommend it to anyone. We look forward to next year and another wonderful time. |

Our family spent a week at this house and had a wonderful time. The house was just as the owner describes on the site. It is right on the beach and about a block down from the beach club pool and restaurant making it an easy walk for anyone and safe for older kids to make their way on their own.
We stay at many rentals places and I will have to say the whole family agreed these were the most comfortable beds of all of them! |

| Our family absolutely loved this beach house and the setting. We had stayed previously at Seabrook Island in another beach house, but this house is a first class way to experience the island. The house is situated in the perfect location very close to the beach. Watching the dolphins and relaxing with the sunsets made the week magical. This was a perfect place for our vacation. |

| Fantastic!! My family has been coming down to Sea Brook for the past 9 years and without a doubt this is the one of the nicest places we have stayed. Location is hands down the best on the island! Steps away from the beach, the pools, the fitness center and the golf course - what more could you ask for. The house is beautiful! Very clean and well decorated. Awsome master over looking the ocean. Oh and your kids will love the elevator. We'll definetly be back. |

We spent a weekend in February here. Beautiful ambiance. The decor could be out of a magazine.
We loved the sunsets from the deck facing the ocean. Absolutely spectacular.
The beach house is very convenient to golf, biking, tennis, not to mention walks on the beach.
We want to go back!! |

Our daughter was married at Seabrook Island Club on Oct. 6. We stayed at Ron's home for the wedding and it was an excellant choice. The house is beautifully decorated, the kitchen has everything you need, and every bedroom is comfortable and has its own private bath. All of the bridesmaids came to the house to have their hair and makeup done and we felt as though we were at a spa. The master bedroom is large and the bride and bridesmaids had plenty of room to get ready. The house is located very close to the beach club which made it easy to get the bride to the wedding unnoticed by the guests who were arriving. Ron's house is perfect for hosting a family affair, the view of the beach and the propoises feeding is wonderful. We all enjoyed staying at the Lanio's home and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable vacation.

My sisters (three plus me) two husbands had a great reunion at THE BEACH HOUSE. It was fabulous. We looked forward to the porpoises in the morning and evening, just about 10 yards off shore. Deer came almost up to the house. The house is beautiful. Thanks for a wonders vacation/reunion. |

| We just returned from a week at Ron's house and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beach front home yet close to the pool and golf amenities. Seabrook is such a unique location - close to Charleston yet still a quiet family beach. Their home is on a rare stretch of beach on the island where the beach is only a few yards away from the house -- most homes require a much longer walk to get to the beach. It was so nice to be able to sit on the porch or even inside and still be able to see our children building sand castles on the beach. Everything was five star - you won't be disappointed! |

| Absolutely beautiful home and perfect location. Easily the best rental experience with regard to quality that we've had thus far. Gorgeous sunsets and great for star gazing. Hundreds of Dolphin sightings and the deer walk right up to the house! We hope to return again soon! |

Our entire family (6 adults & 2 children) spent the week of June 16th in the Lanio's beachfront home. We absolutely loved the location and spectacular ocean views. It was very convenient being so close to the pool complex and golf courses. The elevator was very helpful when unpacking/packing our luggage, etc. We recommend this home to any family who is looking for a great vacation spot. |

| A truly wonderful beach house! Very comfortable and incredibly close to the ocean. Our 6 and 2-year old sons couldn't believe how close the dolphins came to the shore. Great proximity to the beach club (with beautiful pool) and a daily beach camp for our 6-year old. We highly recommend!! |

Comment Text: We were lucky enough to spend a family Christmas at this gorgeous home right on the beach. It has everything you could want in a vacation home and more. It is brand new and the decor is beautiful with lots of personal touches.The sunsets on the deck were breath-taking. We never missed one! And during the day we watched the dolphins play in the ocean from your deck. We definetly hope to visit your wonderful home again. Thanks for sharing it with us.
