For the past eight years, residents Courtney and Chris Guinn and their family have enjoyed the simple pleasures that make Isle of Hope so special. From evening walks along Bluff Drive to visits to the playground and marina with their children, the family treasures the lifestyle and sense of ease the neighborhood provides. They also enjoy spending time at the dock at the Wymberley Yacht Club.

Tucked away on a quiet street, 28 Romney Place is a white bungalow that reflects the Guinn family's love of relaxed elegance. Its coastal transitional style combines soft, airy hues with warm antiques, creating a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts guests at ease.

Among the home's favorite features are a wood-burning fireplace that serves as the focal point of the entry room and a wall of French doors that fills the living and dining spaces with natural light while offering views of the wooded backyard.

Over the years, thoughtful updates have helped shape the home's character. Replacing a dark bookshelf with white shiplap and updating several light fixtures brought a fresh coastal-modern feel to the interior while preserving its warmth.

The Guinns have created many happy memories at 28 Romney Place, hosting countless lowcountry boils and oyster roasts for family and friends.

When it comes to home projects, Courtney offers one piece of advice: Take time to test paint colors before making a commitment. After trying numerous options, the family ultimately discovered the perfect custom shade of pale blue that now flows throughout much of the home.
