Natural Retreats

Create Lasting Memories with an Authentic Lowcountry Experience

As one of the premier vacation rental companies in the country, Natural Retreats has made it their goal to help clients craft vacations that are distinct from the everyday.

“A vacation with Natural Retreats is one in which you can expect a truly authentic experience, vastly different from the standard vacation,” Natural Retreats’ Patrick Werner explains. “Our homes are in some of the most exciting areas of the country; places in which you can push your boundaries, explore unfamiliar places and take part in activities you never envisioned yourself doing.” The Lowcountry of Sea Islands, SC and Tybee Island, GA are the ideal places to do just that.

Both Sea Islands and Tybee Island are known for their rich history and culture, tranquil marshes, pristine beaches, abundant wildlife and ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss. It is thus not surprising that both areas are popular with outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs and beach goers.

Natural Retreats is pleased to offer a selection of handpicked vacation homes in both locales, along with travel planning that can help you make the most of your Lowcountry experience. Their concierge service is staffed with locals, who can suggest the best place to enjoy an authentic Lowcountry boil, where to rent kayaks and paddle-boards to explore the local waters, as well as help you plan a custom fishing trip or guided hike.

After your experience, you can head back to your well-appointed vacation rental to reflect on the events of the day and plan your next adventure.
