We have rented many beach houses at various beaches and this was by far the best home we have ever rented. We vacationed with our three grown children and their spouses, two grandchildren (2&3) and my son's dog. The layout of the home could not be better. My husband and I both have knee issues so we used the Master on the first floor and avoided the stairs. Each of my children and their families had their own space and bathroom. It was also nice to have the half bath in the laundry room. The house was very clean when we arrived and the kitchen is amazing--beautiful, clean and amazingly well stocked. It was so easy to cook in the kitchen. We had everything we needed and more. The house is very accessible to the beach and the beach was great--not crowded at all. The children loved it. To me the best part of the house was the pool and the outside deck area. There was plenty of seating and we ate most meals out there. The past three beach houses we rented had pools which we never used but we used this pool constantly. Did not have it heated but did not need to. The water temperature was very comfortable. Ate most meals at the house because of the children but we did enjoy dinner one evening at the Skull Creek Boathouse Restaurant. Go sit outside and enjoy the sunset--amazing. A former neighbor who now lives in Hilton Head recommended it. We shopped at Piggly Wiggly/Publix- both very convenient and well stocked. We also went to Harbour Town one evening and ate at the Crazy Crab. It was good but I would recommend finding places where you can sit outside on the water. Next year I would like to rent bikes. This house is so well located that you can bike all over. We definitely plan to return next year and I hope that we will be able to stay longer. Our schedules this year did not permit a longer stay but there is so much to do on Hilton Head for famiies and, as the children get older, I want to take advantage of more opportunities. We used to come to Hilton Head every summer but have not been in twenty years. It was just like I remembered it. Rent this house and you will not be sorry. You will have a great time whether you want to bike all over the islant, lounge by the pool with a Mimosa in hand, or read on the beach. The only complaints I had were minor housekeeping ones that were adressed by the rental company. Be sure to get up in the AM and head to the beach for sunrise. They are spectacular!!
