Our family had a terrific time in Hilton Head. We enjoyed riding bikes, reading by the pool and on the beach. We played golf and rode bikes to play tennis. Even though it was early spring we were blessed with gorgeous weather. The kids even got in the pool. The jacuzzi was a nice play for them to warm up!! The owners were great with any request or question we had. We loved the house and would definitely consider renting it again in the summer! The only problem was the week went too fast!!!

Owner response:Thanks!! We are so glad you enjoyed our home. And thank you for taking to time to write your kind review. We hope you will return again and again!!

Wonderful Family Reunion

Date of Stay: 06/25/11 Review Submitted: 07/07/11

We just finished a wonderful week at this fabulous home. The house was so spacious and open and ideal for a multi-family gathering. We had a house full with ages 1 year to 56 years and 4 separate families. We never felt crowded or lacked for anything to do. Even with all the kids, the layout of the home provided us with plenty of quiet. Beach was close, pool had afternoon shade and the pool deck bar was a great gathering place for watching sports games on the bar TV. Everyone enjoyed the ping-pong and Foosball as well. The porch was a favorite hangout too, even on a hot evening because of the fans and breezes. The owners were very attentive to our needs. Can't say enough,Loved it. Loved it!!!! Hope to go back.. Thanks for sharing your home!

Fantastic Vacation

Guest: Lovin' Hilton Head (Indiana)
Date of Stay: 05/28/11 Review Submitted: 06/07/11

Our families more than enjoyed our week at the beach staying at 21 Sand Dollar in Hilton Head. The house is beautiful, and very spacious. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for our families, and over all our stay was fantastic. The 2 minute walk to the beach was easy and made the ocean very accessible. The pool with the entertainment center was what topped off the house. That was a perfect way to end a day-a cool beverage by the pool. We also cooked several meals, and used the grill and the kitchen extensively. Both were user friendly. We would recommend the house for any large family gathering. The location is central to most places on the island, and we had GREAT luck with restaurants: One Hot Mammas (good BBQ) & Hudsons (good & reasonably priced seafood). We also got fresh seafood from Barnacle Bill's, and had some great lobster, shrimp, and mahi-mahi. We didn't do much for sightseeing because we were busy on the beach and at the pool, but did hit Coligny Plaza for some souvenir shopping. Again, I would definitely recommend the house for your family vacation.

Beach Week

Guest: Love the Beach (Charlotte, NC)
Date of Stay: 08/14/10 Review Submitted: 08/23/10

This home has everything anyone could want for a great beach week, perfect weather not included. The pictures don't do the house justice and the social area by the pool was used very often. We had 3 families with 7 kids total (2 toddlers). What was appreciated most was the heavy doors and insulation. The house was quiet and allowed for various waking and bed times. The pool was great as well as the balconies off the rooms and porches. The kitchen well stocked with utensils and dishes. Thanks for sharing your home, we had a great time! Great black book for help to HHI first-timers. Mellow Mushroom and Guiseppi's are great for Pizza as is Hudson's for seafood. Highly recommend Barnacle Bills Seafood just down 278 towards Sea Pines for fresh seafood. The owners were extremely accommodating to our questions & needs that came up during the week.

The house was fantastic! We had 8 adults and 8 kids - and there was room to spare. Leslie is a pleasure to rent from - she takes care of everything and makes sure everything is top notch! The house itself is gorgeous. The quality and detail are in every room. The three master bedrooms are very well appointed - you will not be disappointed. Even with 8 adults and 8 kids, when you wanted to get away to your room - it was quiet. The pool is perfect for adults and kids - there is room to swim or just relax. The pool bar will be the favorite spot for everyone! The beach is not crowded and just a short walk away - literally 3 minutes. Finally, the attached decks are perfect! All in all it was an awesome week!

Family vacation to celebrate parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary

Guest: Romy (Redondo Beach, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 06/28/10

All of the reviews on this home are excellent and everyone is our party completely agrees. This home is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The owners didn't skimp on any finishes, furniture, appliances or amenities. The photos and virtual tour are accurate but don't do the home justice. It's even better than what you see! The location can't be beat either - Folly Field is a quiet neighborhood w/a beautiful beach-literally a 2 minute walk. The pool/hot tub/outside bar area is perfect. We were able to watch World Cup Soccer while keeping an eye on the children in the pool. The water temp (pool and ocean) was heavenly especially when you are used to the cold Pacific Ocean! We ate many meals poolside, but also enjoyed the open kitchen/dining area. 14 people are comfortably accommodated; there's plenty of common space as well as private/quiet areas. The owners are a pleasure to deal with. If you have any concerns, they are easily reachable and respond immediately! My family would love to stay here again and would highly recommend this home!

Great Family Vacation

Guest: Van and Viv (Canonsburg, PA USA)
Date of Stay: 08/01/09 Review Submitted: 09/21/09

We were very pleased with the closeness to the ocean -- when listed at two minutes -- it was two minutes! The pool is awesome. Patio, hot tub and outside bar complete with music was enjoyed by all. Inside the house is extremely roomy, There were 14 of us with room to spare. My only criticism is that the thermostat is preset at 78 degrees which makes for some uncomfortable times on those steamy days on Hilton Head. Otherwise the house is great.

Owner response:We work very hard to make sure our guests have a pleasant stay. We do have controls on the thermostat, but we will raise or lower the thermostat upon request. What we try to avoid is having 14 people constantly raising and lowering the thermostat. Our HVAC company recommended we have the controls to keep the unit from being over burdened and freezing up leaving everyone uncomfortable. If it becomes a problem, we will rethink it. Our guest come first!

Family Reunion Getaway

Date of Stay: 06/27/09 Review Submitted: 07/28/09

This house was better than any review or photo showed! It accomodated our family of 15 beautifully. Everyone felt like they had their own space and there was also plenty of room for us all to be together. The kitchen was fabulous and allowed for us to cook and eat in more than we planned. The owners are wonderful. They accomodated every request, small or large. The beach path is right out the front door and easily navigated. We have stayed in other houses in Port Royal and this is by far our favorite. We would definately book again!

Great time at Folley Field

Guest: In need of a vacation (Ohio)
Date of Stay: 08/02/08 Review Submitted: 03/01/09

The house is absolutely stunning and perfect for a large group. We enjoyed using the kitchen to prepare meals and the bar area outside was perfect for mixing up some drinks. It was a close walk to the beach and the pool and hot tub were great. We had a great time and would rent this property again. *This house is extremely nice, the rest of the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but appeared safe.

Our entire family experienced an amazing time together celebrating our parent’s 50th anniversary. Home had plenty of space for entire the family to enjoy special times together as well as plenty of space for smaller intimate groups. The pool and bar area were great for afternoon and evening activities. We will never forget the all the fun we enjoyed during this special time for our family.

Perfect!!!!!

We spent a wonderful week here with our children and grandchildren and even one of our Moms. The house was just as it was presented. There was plenty of room for everyone to be together and room to slip away from the group when you wanted to. The owners were available and responsive whenever we had questions or needed to reach them. We had a catered dinner one night on the deck to celebrate a 60th birthday rather than fighting the crowds at a restaurant. If was so much fun! In fact we grilled out and stayed around the house and pool most nights. It was just that comfortable! We all hope to return again.

This house is awesome! It was perfect for our large group. We love Hilton Head and visit often. The beach at Folly Field is my favorite because it's uncrowded and it was so close to the house. We had a ball in the pool with the pool bar and Hot Tub right there.
