10 Ocean Gate: 2BR, 2.5BA Community Pool, Short Walk to Beach, Free Bikes

We really enjoyed our stay at this Ocean Gate Villa. Perfectly situated on the island and an easy walk to the beach. The house was very comfortable. The two bikes was definitely a great hit! However, although very clean, we found that the unit had a good amount of dog hair. Could have used a good vacuum before we arrived. Kitchen also lacked dish towels. Well stocked with essentials except for a hair dryer. Visitors should bring their own if they need. In addition, if you plan on watching movies, be prepared to bring HDMI cord. Unit has cable but no dvd player. We had a great week and would definitely come back again!

Have stayed here 2x and will be back. Great screened porch. Easy beach access.

Loved all the space, the location and free bikes

We had a great stay here. The place was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Check-in was easy with a digital keypad. The pool was nice, and the beach was within walking distance. It felt much quieter than the main public access spot we visited earlier, and we appreciated the hose by the front door for rinsing off sand.One issue was with the bikes. The listing said two were included, but when I asked about adding a third, the host said it came with four adult bikes. That turned out to be incorrect. Only two were there when we arrived. Since we had a bike ride planned that evening, we had to scramble to rent another last minute. If we had been given accurate info, we could have had one delivered ahead of time.Also, some local spots like the Salty Dog Café are in Sea Pines, which has restricted access. You can't walk or bike in unless you're staying there. You can get a vehicle pass for a day or a week, but that only applies to driving in. This isn’t a flaw with the rental itself, just something to be aware of when planning activities.The kitchen was generally well equipped, but one small thing that would have helped was having basic cooking oil on hand. We brought groceries to cook several meals, and while salt and pepper were available, cooking oil was not. It's a minor detail, but something we typically count on being provided at other rentals.Despite those few hiccups, we really enjoyed our time here and would stay again.

We arrived on Saturday in H.H. Our visit in this unit went downhill quickly! We woke up Sunday morning to an infestation of cockroaches scrambling the counters in the kitchen. I have pictures/videos as proof. Adult and nymphs. I called and e-mailed the Management company which was quick to respond and sent an exterminator out on the same day. Monday we woke up and roaches were in kitchen and living room. Apparently, it takes a while for them to die. I called the Management company and stated this is a health issue and we did not want to stay in this unit. The Management company gave us the option to move us to a much bigger complex or refund our money. We took the refund and were able to find, on our own, and rent a house in Sea Pines. We were/are disappointed that we lost an entire day of vacation packing/looking for housing/and moving. We've stayed in H.H. at many homes and have NEVER had an infestation of roaches! We struggle to believe this unit was properly sprayed for bugs. The unit needs some TLC. The couch could use cleaning. Lose the multiple pillows that have seen fresher days. As much as we love H.H. we DID NOT LOVE THIS UNIT!

We will be back!

This is the second time my family has stayed at this property, and we really love it for many reasons. The location is great - just a short walk across the street and down a very pretty path to the ocean. We also love that the patio is so close to the private pool, which never had more than a few guests at a time. We were WOWed by the improvements they've made to this condo! The screened in patio room was such a nice addition! We also love the built-ins and window seat that they added to the dining room. The kitchen was well-stocked and all the appliances worked great. The upstairs loft now has a pull-out sofa bed which my kids loved. The electric reclining chair is also nice! Both bedrooms were spacious and had more than enough room for my me, my husband and our two kids. The keypad doorknob was super handy. Just a great condo overall! Only a few negatives (which were not deal-breakers at all for us) - we could have used more washcloths and towels (only one set per person was provided), a couple tiles in the bathroom floors were loose and shifted when you stepped on them, we could not get the living room tv to work at all, and wished the extra pillows had been cleaner/newer and had pillowcases on them. Overall though, we just love this condo and look forward to staying at it again during our next trip to HHI! :)

We loved this condo! Nice quiet location. Just a short walk to the beach. Everything was perfect from the screened porch looking out toward the pool to the beautifully upgraded kitchen and rooms. We will definitely book this one again! Everything was amazing! Thank you for a wonderful week!

I called maintenance and they came the Same day and fixed it! He was also curious when I ask him about a sea. Pines pass and issues one for the week at no extra cost to me! I definitely recommend staying here! We also really loved and enjoyed the screens in deck.
