It has been about 8 years since we last vacationed in Hilton Head. We usually head to our favorite spot on the Florida panhandle but decided to change it up this year, hoping Hilton Head could deliver for my family of 4.
Suffice to say, this property was a central key to our family really enjoying and loving our stay in Hilton Head. First off, the house was simply lovely. I think my kids liked it more than our house. The recent renovations are well done and put us at ease that we had made a good choice. It cannot be overstated how much a nice place helps us to relax and we were able to really relax in this home. The kitchen is beautiful and well-equipped (which was perfect because we cooked a lot), there are plenty of places for people to relax (family room, sitting room) and the bedrooms / bathrooms are very nice and comfortable. The back patio is a great hang out and we enjoyed the privacy of the backyard.
Second, the owners and their management representatives were very responsive. The one small hiccup we had was quickly resolved. The property manager checked on us a few times and really made sure we were happy with our stay. It was comforting to know that if we would have had any issues, we would have been taken care of quickly.
Third, the location is pretty great (unless you have the $$$ to stay on the beach). It is tucked further back into Sea Pines which we really like and was only a 5 minute bike ride to / from the beach. Of course it was close to bike trails so we didn't drive that much and rode our bikes most anywhere, including to the grocery store. Its location felt private but we had access to everything.
Finally, they were truly pet friendly. We have a 18 month old black lab (who we do crate) that many owners are hesitant to let us bring because of general behavior and shedding issues. While our dog is well-behaved, we have been told "no" before. The owner here immediately responded to our request and said "yes! absolutely bring your pup!" And she loved it - the HHI beaches are so great for dogs.
Our stay here was absolutely great and I would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay. As mentioned we had four people (two adults and two preteen daughters...pray for me) but it could easily accommodate 2 more adults and 2 more kids. So if this place is available, book it.
