JACKSONVILLE, FL - Nocturne Luxury Villas today announced that Luxury Simplified Retreats has joined the Nocturne Luxury Villas Collection, bringing an exceptional collection of luxury homes and deeply rooted local expertise across Charleston, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island and Palmetto Bluff. The addition strengthens Nocturne Luxury Villas' vision of building the leading collection of destination-based luxury hospitality companies across North America and the Caribbean.

Founded in Charleston in 2012 by Chris and Sebrina Leigh-Jones, Luxury Simplified Retreats has earned a reputation for highly personalized guest experiences, attentive homeowner care and an intimate knowledge of South Carolina's most sought-after coastal destinations. Its "Dare to Be Different" philosophy is reflected in a collection of distinctive homes, thoughtful concierge service and experiences designed around the character of each destination.

Luxury Simplified Retreats joins a thoughtfully curated collection that spans three countries, two international Caribbean islands and four states offering beachfront, island, mountain, lakefront and coastal homes. Every company within the Nocturne Luxury Villas Collection retains the identity, local relationships and destination expertise that homeowners and guests already trust while benefiting from industry leading resources of the broader collection.

We are thoughtfully building Nocturne Luxury Villas around exceptional destinations, remarkable homes and the local teams who know them best. Luxury Simplified Retreats brings all three to our collection. Their team has built an outstanding reputation by caring deeply for their homeowners, creating highly personalized experiences for guests and celebrating what makes the Lowcountry so special. This addition gives our guests even more distinctive ways to travel while making the entire Nocturne Luxury Villas Collection stronger.

Scott Wiseman, Chief Executive Officer of Nocturne Luxury Villas

For travelers, the addition opens access to some of the South's most celebrated destinations through a trusted local team, backed by the confidence and capabilities of Nocturne Luxury Villas. Guests can move seamlessly from Caribbean islands and Pacific beaches to mountain towns, lakefront retreats and the South Carolina coast while receiving the same commitment to exceptional homes, personal service and memorable experiences.

For homeowners, it means access to the scale, innovation, and resources of a larger organization without sacrificing the relationships and local knowledge that have made their brand successful.

Chris and I started Luxury Simplified Retreats more than a decade ago with a belief that we could dare to be different. That meant building a company around exceptional guest experiences, trusted homeowner relationships and a team committed to excellence every day. Nocturne Luxury Villas shares those values and respects what makes our company special. With its support, we can bring what we have built to more homeowners and guests while creating new opportunities for our team.
