    Our family of seven stayed in this house and it was probably one of our favorite houses! They thought of everything! It is decorated so nice and is only a quick walk to the beach and Coligny. There were deer we saw everyday on the street outside! We will definitely rent this house again!

    We had the best time staying at the property! It was absolutely gorgeous and exactly as described. The kitchen was stocked with anything and everything you can imagine to make our stay feel like home. The location is superb, a block from the beach! The heated pool and hot tub was the cherry on top! We will definetly be coming back!

    The house was very nicely decorated and spotless when we arrived. Location was perfect. Short, mostly shady, walk to beach and is located across from a small nature reserve. The kids enjoyed watching the deer and other wildlife (no alligators!). The bedrooms are large and roomy with comfy beds and plenty of storage. Loved the 2 living rooms. We could close one off so the hard-of-hearing adults could turn the TV volume up without disturbing others. The kitchen was nicely stocked with more than enough dishes and cooking utensils/pans. We really enjoyed the outside area and the entire backyard is fenced. Our dogs could not get out and had a potty area away from the pool area. The pool area is much larger than it looks in the pictures. From what we found, you cannot heat the hot tub without heating the pool. That rendered the hot tub useless in August because we preferred the refreshing pool. Very minor point to us! We would definitely rent this house again!

    This house is fantastic! Everything has been updated, remodeled, etc. also, it is literally a 3-5 minute walk to the North Forrest area of Coligny Beach- we effortlessly spent hours at the beach each day and it was a blast. The house has tons of room. Our group included two families, 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 10-20). Everyone loved their rooms and felt like we were in the lap of luxury all week. The large open concept family room/kitchen was the hub of our families day to day activities. The kitchen was exceptional and our outdoor space including the spa and pool was a decadent luxury to the end of our beach days and a wonderful convenience for everyone on the trip to enjoy at any time. The saddest part of our trip was leaving. We love Hilton Head and it would be amazing if this was our permanent vacation home every time we visit Hilton Head Island.

    Perfect for our family vacation. The house is in a great location; short walk to the beach and Coligny Plaza. It was very clean when we arrived and had starter supplies until we could get to the store. Plenty of room for all of the family to gather outside, the living room, and around the table. The property manager/owner was timely in returning communication regarding the hot tub status. Not sure if it was just the time of the year but we had to clean the pool/sweep the pool deck every day for the acorns/needles. The pool company did come mid-week to give it a deep clean. The pool deck could use some work as far as uneven pavers and cleaning out the needles and acorns. Overall this is a fantastic property and with the upgrades they are planning will be an in-demand home for vacations!

    The bunk bed room was key to this house being fun for kids. The pool was clean and well-maintained with easy quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay!

    It was our first trip to Hilton Head and it did not disappoint. If I had to do it again, I would stay here. The pool is big and was the perfect temperature. The house is very comfortable and welcome and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach is short and direct and were happy to see how close it is to the town too. Everything you need is within walking distance including restaurants, shopping and even a grocery store. I saw a comment on another post that the house wasn't cool in the summer but we did not have this experience. We were there during a very hot time (July) and the house was cooled perfectly and enjoyed the ceiling fans as well. We took are dogs with us and had a nice neighborhood to walk them, a fenced area around the pool for them to be with us, and we were even allowed to take them on the beach (during the summer after 5pm to before 10am. It was a great stay! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!
