21 Painted Bunting at The Sea Pines Resort

In this stunning beachfront home, fresh renovations and inspired updates have created a dazzling sense of Lowcountry sophistication and sun-kissed splendor for the ideal Sea Pines vacation.

Exult in the sightlines that stretch across grassy dunes toward the sea from every point in the massive great room, an expansive setting blessed with updated built-ins framing a flat-screen TV, decorative fireplace and trio of plush sofas. Situated around this space, elevated platform dining and an open kitchen create an airy, breezy space for the whole party to come together.

The kitchen has also benefited from recent renovations, boasting granite counters that wrap from elevated bar seating for three around to a full a suite of state-of-the-art appliances including dual ovens. Tucked behind this space for a divine sense of intimacy, the formal dining room surrounds a sprawling farmhouse table with seating for 12 that stretches toward a cozy den with decorative fireplace. At one end of this space, those taking a working vacation can enjoy a secluded office with majestic ocean views. A corridor to another end takes you to a full bath and the expansive laundry.

As stunning as the views in through the wide glass walls of the great room, they are best enjoyed among the exquisitely updated grounds of the outdoor living spaces. A grand open lanai stretches across one end, with skylights allowing for the ideal amount of shade during the summer. Step down and you’re surrounded by the crystal waters of a resort-style pool and spa ringed by an updated pool deck bathed in sunlight. A private boardwalk stretches away from the deck, providing your own personal beach access.

Each of the five guest rooms offers its own indulgence, starting with the massive carriage house above the garage. Boasting dual flat-screen TVs facing a pair of matching sectional sofas, this dynamic room offers a queen bed, two twin beds and a pair of twin-over-twin bunk beds. Open a set of French doors to one end and the space fills with refreshing breezes drawn in over a private balcony.

To one end of the great room, a private hallway leads to two more guest suites as well as a half bath. To the rear of the property, enjoying private access to the outdoor spaces and plentiful windows for soaking in the ocean views, a king-size bed anchors a space with ceiling fan, flat-screen TV and private bath with tub and shower. Another suite toward the front of the property enjoys its own access to the rear wraparound porch, with a king-size bed, flat-screen TV, ceiling fan and its own private bath boasting tub and shower.

The remaining two guest rooms can be found up the grand central staircase, which rises to a lengthy catwalk traversing the great room with a sunlit sitting area at its center. To one end, a full suite enjoys plantation shuttered windows with elevated ocean views, a king-size bed, ceiling fan, flat-screen TV and private bath with tub and shower.

At the other end, a grand owners suite enjoys wraparound elevated views out to the ocean from a private balcony, encircling a spacious hideaway with king-size bed, ceiling fan and flat-screen TV. Doors on one end give way to the expansive en suite which provides the personal day spa experience through massive walk-in shower, spaces for quiet relaxation, his-and-hers vanities and a massive soaking tub gazing out toward the water.

Just steps away from the beach, this extraordinary property has been renovated and reimagined to offer nothing less than the finest Sea Pines experience.
