We had an incredible stay in Hilton Head! This house could not have been more perfect to get all the girls together for the long weekend. The pool was incredible, the open floor main area was great to all hang around in, and the fact that the garage was well stocked with beach necessities was an incredible touch. We were able to walk to the beach as well as walk to a coffee truck from the house. Would absolutely recommend this VRBO to anyone looking to travel to Hilton Head.

Wonderful Hiltonhead family vacation!
The house had everything we needed and more. The kids were over the moon about the pool, it was private, and we were a short walk from the beach. There was a Spectrum Internet outage for a small part of our stay, but the property owner kept me updated throuighout. We used the very nice charcoal grill a lot to feed the 20 of us, and there were plenty of pots and pans, silverware, etc. The wagons, umbrellas, chairs and other beach items came in super handy as we went to and from the beach. Our 9 grandchildren LOVED the big bunk room. We made a lot of memories! Thank you!

Property has potential
House is wonderful, however the company they hire to clean is NOT! The floors needed to be swept as soon as we go into the house. Then there were missing linens, two beds unmade. The comforters smelled and had dirt stains on them. Bath mat had blood on it, and there was a lack of towels or linens to replace anything with. Glad there was lots of wasp and roach spray. Host was great with reply and location was amazing. Besides the lack of cleanliness, my family had a great time.

I am ambivalent about how to rate as the Property owner is excellent for communication and quickly responding. Location is ideal for a brief walk/bike ride to beach and in a gated community. Beach supplies and overall household items well-stocked. Elevator a plus. Rooms as described.However, property does not feel as new as described, more so on the outside. Outside areas could use some overall cleaning, pressure washing, etc. Outdoor Funiture looked tired, dirty. Pool and adjacent patio area very dark. Was hoping to enjoy sitting outside but this was not appealing. More cabin feeling than beach house. My expectation for the cost was more of a resort feel, hotel-like but this did not feel like. We were a family of 8 with older people in the group. This house probably more appealing/amenable to younger people in large numbers where the cost per person would be more reasonable as witnessed by neighboring houses with many college students.

Wonderful host and house
We really enjoyed our time at this house. We were about half a mile to the Folly Field Beach entrance. Having a covered and screened heated pool made this trip a great experience because we could skip the sunscreen and enjoy without the threat of mosquitos. We enjoyed the large kitchen and game table on the top floor. The elevator was a lifesaver for our very old dog and for our 95 year old grandmother. She was able to come down and sit with us at the pool almost every day. The only down side was the limited seating inside the main floor of the house. Overall we would definitely return to this house again for our vacation.

Overall house was fine. However floors were dirty, high chair was not cleaned thoroughly. The pool area is a bit deceiving in the photos. The area is dark and uninviting. No one from our party wanted to swim in the pool. Pool service should have come before our stay not during. Dishwasher was broken. For the money, we expected better.
