Map & Owner's Profile
19 Bittern is a Comfortable 4 BR/2 BA Home--100 Yards to Beach
Year Purchased: 1980
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We built this home in 1980 as a family vacation retreat. We have offered our home for rental because we want to share this fantastic location with great families like yours. As with all real estate, it's about location, location, location. We've got that covered! North Forest Beach is a calm unpretentious beach community. The quiet beach and close proximity to Coligny Plaza are just a few reasons we chose this area. We have made so many wonderful memories at this house, I hope you get the chance to experience the same with your family as well.
The Unique Benefits at this House
19 Bittern offers a spacious great room with ample outdoor living space as well. This property's proximity to the quiet beach and Coligny Plaza are it greatest assets.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
In the early 70's, my wife and I discovered Hilton Head Island and it was love at first sight. We sold our lake cabin, purchased this lot and began making plans to build a beach house. As a general contractor, I always dreamed of building a vacation retreat. We cherish time spent at 19 Bittern with our children and grandchildren.

great house - incredible location

We rented the house for a week and had 5 adults and two children under 3. The house was nice and well-appointed and had more than enough space for us. The location was just incredible though. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to get to the beach via a 90-second walk and to stores, restaurants, and coffee (did I mention 2 kids under 3) in a 2-3 minute walk in the other direction. We'll definitely be back!
Owner response:Thanks. I am so glad you enjoyed your vacation!

This was our first stay at 19 Bittern and our second house rental on HHI. As others have said, this is a very comfortable, clean, and great location house. We had 6 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. With two toddlers in tow, the short walk to the beach with a wagon every day was great. We loved the open living room and my family really enjoyed late afternoons and mornings on the front porch--drinking coffee, having conversation, and just relaxing. I think we calculated you could sit 16 people on the porch chairs! The biggest bonus was the responsiveness of the owner. As a renter who had to worry about several relatives booking airfare, reserving rental cars, packing, etc., what a breath of fresh air that my emails were answered within minutes to hours—this makes a huge difference to many of us. I had a stressful booking last year with a VRBO owner to try and confirm rental dates, contract, etc., while I watched the airfares fluctuate every day and the cost of the vacation increasing. Owner is a joy to work with and all the wonderful extras like toys, chairs, wireless internet, stocked kitchen, starter supplies, large dining table, patio hose to rinse off sand, and nice grill made all the difference.
Owner response:Shelly, Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. We look forward to booking your next vacation!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at your beach house at 19 Bittern Street. It was a nice location, close to the beach, on a quiet street, close to shopping and restaurants, with lots of shade. The beach house had very comfortable beds, nice showers, roomy kitchen with ample seating for our family. All the appliances were in good working condition, along with the washer and dryer. It was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely rent it again for a future beach vacation. We felt the price was a good value too. Thanks Scott, for all your help and answers to our questions prior to our visit, and your restaurant recommendations, plus directions. If any downfalls, a week just goes by too quickly. Thanks for sharing your beach house rental.

My family had a great time staying at 19 Bittern. The house had everything our family needed for a fun week. It is just steps to the beach and a short walk to Coligny, which we found very convenient having a 2 year old and 7 month old. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are plenty of beach chairs and toys provided. The owner of the property was alway very helpful and friendly when dealing with him. We hope to make 19 Bittern part of our new family tradition when visiting HHI every summer. Thank you for allowing our family to make special memories in your home!
Owner response:I am glad you had a great vacation. Thanks for the comments.

WE STAYED AT THIS HOUSE FOR TWO WEEKS THIS SUMMER, THE FIRST WEEK WE INVITED MY FAMILY TO JOIN US AND THE 2ND WEEK , MY HUSBANDS FAMILY CAME DOWN. WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO HHI FOR VACATION FOR THE PAST 6 YRS AND THIS HOUSE WAS JUST AMAZING. THE PICTURES DON'T DO IT JUSTICE. IT WAS SO CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. THE BEACH WAS PRIVATE/ NOT CROWDED, AND THE HOUSE WAS EQUIPPED WITH EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. WE WERE SO PLEASED WITH OUR VACATION. WE WILL STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS HOUSE TO ANY FAMILY LOOKING FOR A NICE HOUSE . THE HOUSE WAS VERY CLEAN, AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. IT IS SO CLOSE TO COLIGNY PLAZA AND LOTS OF RESTAURANTS. WE RODE OUR BIKES TO EAT AND TO SHOP, AND JUST ENJOY THE SCENERY. THIS IS A PERFECT LOCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Owner response:Thanks, Wright family, for the great comments. I am glad you enjoyed your stay.

19 Bittern has been a part of our family's vacations since the owners first purchased the home in the early 80's. This location is so accesible to everything on the island that you could ever want and more. For our family, it's just not a vacation if we don't stay in this particular house. We absolutely love it and always have, for the last 28 years or so that we have been staying there. Hilton Head Island is a treasure, but the private beach access and the close proximity to Coligny Plaza, the bakery, the shopping and dining and everything else makes this house the PERFECT vacation spot on HHI. It's a family tradition that we recommend and that we plan to continue every year. Thanks to the owners for making it such a treat for us every year without fail.

This was our first stay in this House but our 15th year on Hilton Head and we can't think of a better place to stay. The house had a great open living space for a large group and was so close to the beach and Coligny. We also enjoyed the large deck and felt the kitchen was very nicely stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.
