About the Owner
Louisville KY is a wonderful place to live with the beauty of all seasons but it does not have an ocean. I fell in love with South Carolina the first time I visited and started planning to retire there. Caring for my 92 year old Mother has delayed those plans but has given me the opportunity to share the magic of the beach with others. Preparing Sea La Vie for rental was a labor of love...thinking about the joy it will bring to those who come to stay and leave with beautiful memories of their time with loved-ones...walks on the beach, breathtaking sunsets, laughing children splashing in the ocean and building sand castles, beautiful golf courses, fish that did or did not get away, and, of course, not to forget sand in their luggage.
