Reviewer Comments:
Our family has gathered at the Par La Mer for over 15 years now, always during the week of Father's Day (or the week following) in memory of the family patriarch who began the annual extended family beach tradition in 1985. This year we had all 24 members, spread out over two houses within DeBordieu Colony, representing 3 generations (from 4 months to 68 years of age) and 7 family groups. We love the location set back among the live oaks, across from the private beach walk access, and the relative isolation next to the Hobcaw Barony. The 5 members of the youngest generation (ages 4 mos. to 14 years) enjoy the pool access afforded by the house golf status membership (and accessed via our annual club guest membership). This year folks also enjoyed poolside dining and the fitness center. The beach itself is always a draw. We love its beauty and high degree of privacy. The house itself is mostly wonderful, though too small to accommodate us all together, and we notice needs for occasional, upgrades, some of which have been done. The downstairs AC unit went down on the hottest day of the week (over 100 degrees), but the service man came quickly after I contacted Tide Life and replaced part plus tended to a drainage issue and all was well by the evening/next day. We trust that the house will continue to be well maintained as that has a bearing on our ability to keep staying there, and of course, it is a valuable investment of the owner that seems highly worth keeping up. Each year I wonder if members of our growing, extended family will still want to make this annual trip, but each year they keep coming, some from as far away as Boston, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Indianapolis, and Washington DC. We look forward to next year, 2026!
