Perfect beach house!
We were not only impressed with our communication with the owners but really surprised how well stocked the house was with all the basics (paper goods, shampoo, trash bags, seasonings, etc). House was very comfortable for two families and a very happy dog. Perfect location on our favorite beach and walking distance to the best coffee and ice cream. We could not have been happier. We would love to return. Thank you!

Fantastic home and location. We loved the place and will definitely rent it again. Super convenient location just a short walk to the beach. Property managers were very quick to respond. The house layout is great, very large main floor with sitting area, dining area and kitchen. We had five couples and the layout was perfect. Would definitely recommend this house.

The house was very nice. The downstairs bedrooms work great for kids and provide them with ample play space. The front porch was an amazing location for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Everyone will enjoy the pool and don't worry about bringing beach or pool toys.....there are tons in the garage!

Family Reunion - finally!
The house was perfect for our group. Cousins enjoyed having bunk bed room. Hot tub was a big hit. I chose this house because of location. Walking and riding bikes on beach was so convenient. We have smaller condo in Shipyard so have been coming to area for decades. Familiarity was a plus too.

Beautiful Home, Close to the Beach
We had an absolutely amazing stay here. The home itself was beautiful. Tastefully updated with plenty of room and all the amenities we could need. There were 11 people total and 2 dogs and we never felt cramped. The pool was a great size and got a good amount of sun throughout the day. We brought our 2 dogs, and the backyard was entirely fenced in which was awesome!! The front porch was perfect for sipping coffee in the morning and you could even hear the waves from the beach as it is just 1 house set back. We would love to stay here again in the future. The owners were so wonderful to deal with. They were prompt on any messages I sent and you can tell they do a great job of upkeeping the property. There were bikes available to use along with many pool and beach toys. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Quality Assurance needed, but overall great experience
This is a beautiful home, nice layout, fantastic location, etc. Although we didn’t bring our pets for this trip, there is an area in the back that is fenced in which is nice for the dogs. The pool deck of the home itself is the only downside…although the layout is pictured in photographs, it’s really not a conducive pool deck for sunbathing, lounging, etc. The management company was very responsive for general concerns…maintenance issues we experienced included ground level bathtub/shower completely stopped working. Although it was repaired in a timely manner, it was a huge inconvenience. There were also a few TVs not working; management addressed and delivered batteries for the remotes…but it would have been nice for these to have been checked while prepping for the next guests. Biggest concern/complaint/advice - bring your own bath towels. The towel sets provided were VERY limited & minimal for our family of 7 adults, 4 teenagers, and 2 children. I requested additional towels needed, and although management responded & addressed the concern, the “additional” towels they dropped off included only 1 bath towel and 2 washcloths. This was disappointing because I felt like the need of “more” towels was not met. This unfortunately just forced us to washing the towels very of often, etc. (although management did provide additional laundry detergent). I would recommend the management company investing in some form of quality assurance. There were pieces of ‘trash’ (deflated pool floats, broken pool lounge chairs) outside of the home. The kitchen area cabinets were very unorganized with miscellaneous pots, pans, cutlery, etc. I understand our stay was approaching the end of peak season but there were areas of wear/tear that could have been buttoned up. It didn’t really bother us (and we didn’t notify management) but I could see where other guests may be upset. We would consider renting this home in the future. The house is beautiful and the management company did a good job overall.

Family Fun!
We had two people in their 70’s 2 married couples, one guy in his 40’s our 24 year old grandson, a 16 & a 13 year old & there was plenty of room for everyone. The location is perfect to get to the beach & it only took a couple minutes to walk there! We rented bikes because we had a lot that loves riding to the beach & all around the beautiful neighborhood!! Thank you to the owners for letting us use their beach wagon & the pool floats. I also have to mention this was the best equipment kitchen we have ever had in Hilton Head & we have been coming here for 22 years!! Also I didn’t hear any complaints about the beds from anyone one, all beds were comfy! . We will definitely book this beautiful home again.

Great location
This is a nice home in an excellent location. Easy access to the beach, shopping, restaurants... The pool was also nice, and they have done a good job of creating a sense of privacy around it. There isn't much poolside decking, but it's easy to use the outdoor dining area to supplement it. Well decorated home and fairly clean. There are a few issues - the gas stove top ignition does not work, although you can light the burners with a lighter. The main microwave does not work, but there is one in the laundry room. A new toaster and coffee maker were in boxes on the porch when we arrived, so those worked fine once we set them up (assuming that is what we were supposed to do). The main kitchen trashcan was very dirty and smelled terribly, so we switched it out with the laundryroom trash can. Sheets didn't quite fit the downstairs primary bed, so we were constantly having to pull the fitted sheet and mattress cover back onto the mattress. We appreciated the fenced-in back yard, but if you are considering bringing a small dog, know there is a decent gap in the railing by the gate on the side porch that a smaller dog could easy escape through. Lastly, at the time we visited, new construction was getting underway on the lot just across the street. Nothing anyone can do about it, but does make for extra noise and less privacy... Overall, a nice home, and we enjoyed our time there. You can't go wrong with the location.

Family Reunion-60th Wedding Anniversary
Our family-10 adults, a teen, two children and an infants- stayed here to celebrate my in-laws 60th anniversary. We all fit perfectly. Their was space for everyone and the house met all of our needs. We couldn’t have been happier. The kitchen was large, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. The private pool was clean and conveniently located off the back porch. The beach was just a short walk away. No need to drive even for my 82 year old father-in-law. We also enjoyed the Coligny area which was nearby. I would highly recommend this home!!!

Great House, Great Location
This is a perfect house for a group or for multiple families — or for one family that values privacy and quiet. The house is well designed with bedrooms and bathrooms spread out on 3 floors, which makes it quiet and uncrowded. It was clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and really well located close to the shopping and activities at Cologny, but also enough removed from the crowds and traffic. And you just can’t beat beautiful North Forest Beach! The golf cart was a fun feature, as was the pool, which is well-maintained. It’s well equipped with beach chairs/supplies and bikes as well. The owner and the property manager were responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely rent this house again!
