My husband and I stayed here over Thanksgiving with my parents, daughter and friend and our golden retriever. House was perfect for our group. Loved the big dining room and table -we were able to host the Thanskgving dinner with other friends on the island. Two other small things that really showed they thought of everything - huge plush beach towels and big coffee mugs! So much better to have your morning coffee by the sound of the waterfall into the pool when you don't have to get up every 5 min for more coffee. By the second day, our dog knew the way to the beach - walkway is right across the street and goes directly to a great stretch of beach. Great family room to watch the big games. Nice bathrooms. Bedrooms were also very nice and had lots of space to spread out. House was immaculate - our friends couldn't believe it was a pet friendly property - apparently they've had some bad luck with stinky places. Would recommend this to anyone - great property.

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. So glad you enjoyed your time there and hope that you will return. Sincerely, Lori

My wife and I and another couple stayed at this home for two weeks. The location was teriffic to both Harbour Towne and South Beach. The home was clean and well furnished. The owner was very easy to deal with and everything was exactly as she told us. Welcome basket was very nice. Would recommend this property. Look foreward to renting again as this was our 22nd year at Hilton Head Island.

Owner response:It is great to know that you had such a good stay and look forward to your future stay. Your time to send a review is much appreciated. Sincerely, Lori

This is our second time staying at this wonderful home in Sea Pines. As usual, it was immaculate when we arrived and a nice welcome gift of goodies was awaiting us. We noticed that an outdoor grill had been added and we certainly took advantage of it. We love the backyard of this house so much that we did not go to the beach very much. The waterfall feature of the pool makes it very relaxing. We also realized that there are NO mosquitoes in the backyard, because we certainly took notice of the mosquitoes surrounding the homes closer to the beach. The location is ideal because the bike path is right out the back door—we rarely used the car. Also, the neighborhood is extremely quiet and traffic is almost non-existent. If you want a peaceful, relaxing vacation in Hilton Head, stay here!

Owner response:Steve, Thank you for your kind words and wonderful review and for taking the time to review your visit. I am so glad you and your family had a relaxing visit and hope you will choose us again in the future. Sincerely, Lori

Lori, This house was wonderful! The very welcoming of goodies when we arrived to the cleaniness of the house was great. The house worked wonderful for my husband and I and our daughter's family with 2 small boys. The walk to the beach was beautiful, the house was stocked well with dishes, pots and pans,etc. We will return to Hilton Head soon and this will be the house of choice. Thanks again for making our stay great.

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. SO glad to know you had a good experience! I hope you will consider us in the future. sincerely, Lori

We've been coming to Hilton Head for years, but this is our new favorite rental home. This house was perfect for two couples with two dogs. The back yard is fenced and the walking trails are all around the house. The humans and dogs all loved the scenic hike to the beach. It was getting hot by late May, but the early morning romps on trails and the huge beach were perfect. We spent most afternoons floating around the beautiful private pool amidst the pines. The kitchen appliances and outdoor gas grill are new, but with more than a hundred restaurants within 10 miles, we didn't cook much. We loved Truffles! We rode bikes every day, to the Salty Dog on some days and the Lighthouse on others.. We used the house bikes and also rented two really nice bikes for about $3 a day. The local manager was able to help us with a few special requests (finding a dogsitting service to stay with our dogs while we spent one day in Savannah) Ha. All in all a PERFECT stress free vacation. Thanks for sharing your home, Lori!

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed yourself. We love relaxing there and don't get to go very often so I am so glad to hear our guests are enjoying their time away. Sincerely, Lori

Fabulous Holiday

Guest: Canadian Snowbirds (Toronto, Ontario Canada)
Date of Stay: 04/18/11 Review Submitted: 05/23/11

This was the first time we had been to South Carolina and also the first time we had rented a vacation home. When we saw this listing on Homeaway it looked like it would be perfect for our needs. Our concern, of course, was whether the pictures and description would be the same as the actual property. You will not be disappointed from the minute you open the front door! Lori's house was immaculately clean, We were welcomed by a lovely gift basket of goodies, lots of local info and maps and even white folded towels on the beds in the shape of animals and birds. Better than a "5 star" hotel! Appliances/Kitchen were all recently new. Pool is lovely. Fenced yard was perfect for our dog. Layout of the house is wonderful. Location of the home was amazing. Very short walk to the beach and nestled in amongst towering old growth trees. Great bike/walking paths...nicest we've seen. Beach went for miles and was unspoiled and uncrowded. People were walking and biking on the beach. Our family ranged in age from 20 - 89 and this property catered to all needs. Lori was extremely responsive and organized with no detail overlooked. We would highly recommend this property...10/10. Guess where we're going next year?

Owner response:I much appreciate all your gracious comments. I am so glad to hear what a good time you all had. Vacations and fun times with your family are precious these days. Sincerely, Lori

Great House & Close to Beach

Guest: Sherri (Canvas, WV)
Date of Stay: 01/08/11 Review Submitted: 02/07/11

We stayed in this home at Deer Run for three weeks in January. When we arrived, we were greeted with wine, flowers and a welcome basket. The owner went far and above what was expected. The home was immaculate which to me is extremely important. It was a great size for my husband and myself and our small dog. The owner has a local manager who greeted us one day to give us his information and let us know that if we needed anything to call him. That was nice. The view from the family room is a waterfall flowing into a beautiful pool. Even though it was too cold to swim, we enjoyed the view! The walk to the beach was very short. We stayed in a home last year and the walk was so far by the time you got to the beach you were exhausted. Not the case in this home. We loved that! The kitchen was well appointed with everything you would need to cook a fancy meal. There were bikes that came with the home which saved a ton of money on rentals. The two things that stand out to me about this home was the location and the cleanliness. What else can you ask for in a beach rental?

A Little Piece of Heaven

What a great property! My wife and I (plus Carson our dog ) stayed here the last two winters ( Jan-Mar). Clean,comfortable and close to the ocean. The fenced backyard is absolutely beautiful with landscaping and a brand new pool. The moment we arrived we knew this was our " home away from home. " We have recommened Deer Run to our friends and now they vacation there also. The owner is wonderful to work with and has a local person to take care of any unexpected details. Thank you for letting us share your home.

Wonderful Retreat in the Woods

Guest: Bill (Atlanta, Georgia)
Date of Stay: 12/26/10 Review Submitted: 01/08/11

We stayed at this home the week between Christmas and New Year's and had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family of four with our 16 and 9 year old. Each bedroom had its own TV and the living room flat screen was perfect for the whole family. Beds were very comfortable as well as all the sofas and chairs (sometimes a problem with rentals on the island). We were greeted with a nice basket of goodies and a plant which showed the owners really care about their guests. The house was also perfect for our little dog who loved to play in the fenced in backyard. It's also a great location; very close to South Beach and Harbour Town. We've been coming to Hilton Head for 15 years and we all agreed this was the best rental we've ever had on the island.

A True Gem on Hilton Hilton Head

Guest: steve (Virginia)
Date of Stay: 11/13/10 Review Submitted: 11/19/10

Hilton Head is a very friendly island for pet owners, but it's difficult to find good pet-friendly accommodations. We were lucky to find this home in Sea Pines with everything on our wish list. The house was very clean when we arrived and were generously greeted with a bottle of wine and fresh flowers. It has a nicely landscaped, fenced backyard with a very picturesque private pool. It's a short 10-minute walk to the best beach on Hilton Head. Being close to the river, the water is shallow and calm, great for kids. Dolphins were playing in knee-high water. You also get a great sunset on this part of the island. Bikes are available for riding the many bike trails. The house is just a short ride to both Harbour Town and South Beach Marina. The owners provided good restaurant recommendations. They also have good local contacts for any issues that could arise during our stay. We look forward to returning next year.

Owner response:Thank you so much for the great comments. Please come back. We will continue to work towards providing a quality vacation experience. We appreciate all feedback!

My husband, 6-month-old and I rented this house last fall for 2 weeks and had the most relaxing vacation! The pool was lovely, and we really appreciated a "pool guy" who came twice weekly to clean it for us! My son loved the waterfall and was entertained for literally hours by the water falling on his feet & hands :) It was great to be so close to the beach, as my husband could bike over, set everything up and we could join him after nap time (which again, I enjoyed in the pool!). The kitchen was well stocked, great appliances, and a wonderful welcome basket! This place will always be special to us - it's where we fell in love with the island, our first "family" vacation, and it's where our son learned to crawl!

Owner response:Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I hope you will be coming back! Sincerely, Lori

Very comfortable house and a great location. I spent spring break with three kids and our dog and this house was just what we were looking for. We were close to the beach, Harbor Town and the marina. The owner was great to work with and I recommend this property if you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy all Hilton Head has to offer.

Owner response:I so appreciate your review - thank you for taking the time. Also very glad to hear your vacation time went well! Thank you, Lori
