Resident Since August 2011
"Our very own paradise"
Beaufort had been on our list of places to visit for some time -thanks to having seen The Big Chill countless times. We came to the area in early 2010 "just to look around" and lucked out with a realtor who took us to the Islands of Beaufort. It was instant attraction. We loved the serenity, the big live oaks with Spanish moss, the water on almost all sides, the diversity of the homes and the feeling of privacy without being alone. We also loved the proximity to downtown Beaufort and all that town has to offer. We came back several months later to "look at lots". That turned into spending the day in the community, getting invited to a Derby party hosted by one of the neighbors and there meeting most residents of the community. The next day we bought a lot, ultimately selected a builder and broke ground the following year. We moved into our new home in August 2011 and have not regretted one single aspect of our decision. IOB has felt like home from day one and we "blended" with our neighbors as if we had been here for years. Nearly all of us in IOB is a transplant so we are eager to get to know each other and plan activities year round. From progressive dinners, to wine auctions, to July 4th parades and picnics, to Yankee Swaps, there are plenty of opportunities to engage and have fun. We consider ourselves lucky beyond belief to have found this gem in the Lowcountry.

If your realtor hasn't shown you the Islands, you've missed out. We have been absolutely delighted with our home and our neighbors. Where to start? First the people have become our family. We are a socially diverse and active group. Kids can play in the streets and sell lemonade, olde farts like me gather on the docks for evening cocktails and local gossip. We have found friends to share every aspect of our interests here. Its comfortable and inclusive.
The amenities and infrastructure are all in, well maintained and the finances of the Association are solid. Fees are affordable. The Directors have managed IOB in a business-like fashion, avoiding the turmoil and financial challenges of some other Associations. We don't have a golf course or marina, but we are near dozens of courses and Beaufort is loaded with services for the boating enthusiast.
While the homes are delightfully traditional on the outside, many have been built with quite modern interiors. Porches and sidewalks, along with the beautiful setting create a walking community where you may run into folks on their front porches and end up spending the evening.
The City of Beaufort is also a wonderful hometown. Welcoming, affordable and conveiniently located. Excellent weather. A business and social environment that rates as small but sophisticated. Taken as a whole, Beaufort and the Islands, the combination is probably why we continue to see building activity of high end homes in the Islands of Beaufort even through these tough times.
