This villa is truly a small piece of paradise! I have been traveling to Hilton Head Island since I was a child and have stayed in many different locations on the island, but this location within Shipyard Plantation was just so beautiful and unique! It was one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed in; and I am quite discerning when it comes to cleanliness. It is located within a gated community, and is nestled amongst breathtaking trees adorned with Spanish moss, and alongside palm trees, beautiful flowers, and ponds. This is a lovely villa that is well-equipped and very relaxing. The villa is decorated with quality furniture, has island-inspired bed linens, and kitchenware that is in great condition. It is in a quiet neighborhood that is adjacent to a paved path that can take you to the beach via walking or riding bikes! The path is completely flat and paved, and is mostly shaded, so it is a leisurely 15-20 minute walk to the beach depending on your speed and agility. There are bike racks located directly in front of the villa, so it would be very convenient to rent bikes and take the short path to the beach that way; many of our neighbors rode their bikes to the beach and said it was a very relaxing ride! Additionally, a beach parking pass is included with the rental, which enables you to take the less than 5 minute drive to the beach and park with ease at the Shipyard Beach Club. Melissa, the owner, is extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and very organized. She was a joy to work with and made the entire stay enjoyable. This villa is truly an amazing find, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in a paradise-like setting within the Shipyard plantation! Also, here are some of our families can’t miss activities; catch a Shannon Tanner show in Shelter Cove, get some of the best ice cream in the world from Hilton Head Ice Cream, or have supper at Ruin Thai or Java Burrito:)
