Maggie and Steve, Thank you for providing such a wonderful place to stay at the beach! The accommodations met all of our expectations - clean, accessible, close to the beach, and pool. It is nice to have owners that have thought of everything - lots of hooks for towels, etc. Thank you for sharing your place at the beach!

Owner response:Thank you for being our guests especially @ both of our vacation properties! Hope you'll come back to Hilton Head or Winter Park, CO.!

We have rented condos for fifteen years and this was by far the best overall experience we have ever had. The condo is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. I especially enjoyed the deck that overlooks the walking/bike path and golf course. The trees and birds combine to make it a haven. The condo is located within easy biking distance of the beach, Harbor Town, and several supermarkets, and restaurants. The owners sincerely want their guests to have a great vacation and show that by the way that they treat them and care for their condo.

Owner response:Thank you so much Ann....I am particular when I travel & expect perfection, so why not have my guests have the same experience?! Look forward to your return.....

My husband and I, along with our 16 year old, 6 year old, and 10 month old, PLUS our dog, had a great time in this condo! It was equipped beautifully with everything we needed. Everything felt like we were living in a home, rather than an impersonal rental. We can't wait to rent again!

Owner response:Brandelyn, Thank you for your email when you arrived..when our guests are thrilled when they open the front door & know we offer what is promised, it makes our day! Glad we had the pack in play ordered for your arrival....I am picky & it seemed to be the best for the $. Look forward to your return,,,,book early as the summer normally is reserved by March. Thank you again for being our guests!

If you're planning a vacation to Hilton Head Island, you will be disappointed if you don't stay in this villa! It is not only CLEAN and UPDATED, but also in a perfect location for the beach, golf or bike riding. We ran on the beach in the AM, rode bikes to our luncheon spot and then lounged on the beach in the afternoons. One evening we cooked out at the owners club beach and watched the wild life. The villa sits on golf and from the balcony it's a perfect place to enjoy a beverage and watch the golfers. Don't even think of booking another place this is the BEST ON THE ISLAND. Your hosts are charming and informative. Book now, you won't be sorry!

Owner response:wow! thank you for such a wonderful review.....steve & I have been fortunate to have grt. guests like yourself....as you know, not everyone gets to stay here. We interview & speak to every guest to make sure it is the right fit. thx again, & hope you'll return again & again!

Everything is perfect, nothing to do but enjoy and relax. I loved my stay on the island and in this villa, it was CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN and well maintained. There were seasonings, etc to making cooking easier. The beach is a couple of minutes on foot, car or by bike. Golf is just out the door...what could be better. Loved my entire stay and our hosts were wonderful. Would I come back? Only if I could stay in verbo #249361!

I just returned from staying in your wonderful villa! Of course, the island was wonderful as well. I always enjoy the closeness to everything, Harbor Town, South Beach and of course the Beach Club, that your place offers. This trip we also did the Commander Zodiac Dolphin tour. Looking forward to a return visit in this spectacular home. The villa is always clean and beautiful.

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words! Commander Zodiac is the best choice for Dolphin tours...they were the 1st to start these tours & continue to provide the best time! Look forward to your return!

We enjoyed the Villa beyond our expectations. We found it very appealing and comfortable with everything accessible. We lucked out our first week with stellar weather but starting the second week heavy rain & just a little cooler (52F) Big change from 82F of yesterday. However, our green vista from the balcony goes a long way in connecting us to the outside. We have re-connected to H.H. having visited here almost 40 years ago. A lot of changes re: the number of homes built but subtly hidden by a natural landscape. We will return again and continue to enjoy all H.H. offers. Many Thanks,

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your Villa. It is absolutely beautiful, has everything we could need and then some, and is in a wonderful location. It is evident that you both take pride in making your guests' stays as pleasant as possible: from the directions on how to use the TV, DVD, and stereo remotes to the labeling of the items in the closets, kitchen cabinets & light switches! Your Villa is the nicest we have stayed on any of our trips to the beach! We also appreciate the fact that you allow pets to come along. We hope to return next year!

This property couldn't have been better described in the listing and the pictures don't lie, it is beautiful and well kept. The location was super convenient to the beach by bike or car and also to Harbour Town and South Beach for lots of excellent food, entertainment and a great dolphin boat tour. The pool was like an oasis to drop into after a day in the sun at the beach. The owners obviously take great pride in their property. This unit is beutifully updated with nice finishes all around, has every ammenity you could need and is very clean! A very spacious two bedroom unit and each of our kids had their own bed. The in-unit laundry was very convenient as well. Morning coffee on the balcony over the golf course was also very relaxing. Having this great lodging experience truely made our vacation hassle free and the owner's prepared us with terrific information on dining and activities which were never wrong. Savannah was also a quick trip to see a great historic port town. We will be back again, maybe two weeks to catch everything we missed--so much to do.

Owner response:Thank you, Thank you especially visiting all the way from Colorado! We will look forward to your return...

To both of you... Thank you!! We certainly had a great vacation @ Sea Pines! Your place is so lovely. It felt like home the moment we entered the hall! As strange as it may seem with a temperature above 100 in the shade....we all had the feeling we were at our "chalet" ready to do some skiing!!! Our next stop will certainly be your Colorado property! We never come back twice to the same place as a summer vacation, but we enjoyed HHI so much last year, we were anxious to come back...but @ another section of the island. Simply lovely & much easier to travel by bike than another one of the Plantations we've stayed. Our best moment? The discovery of SAVANNAH! Such a lovely city!!!

Had a wonderful long week end stay with "the girls" and the villa was the ideal spot. The interior is charming ,comfortable and is stocked with anything that you may need, it was also spotless. The balcony is great for an early morning coffee , it overlooks a peaceful spot on a golf course and the squirrels play in the trees over your head. The bike trail also passes right below the balcony and bike riding is the way to go.There is a bike rental place right around the bend from the villa. It was my first time in Hilton Head and I can't wait to go back again! The owner was extremely helpful in guiding us to all the best restaurants and local bars as well as the great beaches which are all very close-by.This villa was the perfect spot and I would certainely stay again and recommend it to my friends!!!

Owner response:Thank you for noticing how we keep the Villa stocked! We take great pride in making sure you are not having to buy laundry detergent, dish soap, bath soap, hand soap...nothing worse than renting a property that supplies you with nothing, ugh! Glad to hear you enjoyed our restaurant choices :) One of the great perks of owning a property on the island.... when we visit, we need to do our "homework" & check out the island cuisine.....only the best for our guests! Look forward to your return!

Our stay at Plantation Club Villa was excellent! The condo is in a perfect location, we were able to rent bikes for our entire stay from a local bike shop. The beach is just minutes away,along with Harbor town and many other shops and restuarants! The Condo is equipped with everything you'll need and decorated beautiful. We would definitely stay here again:-)

Owner response:So glad you were able to work your vacation in your busy schedule! I remember those days with a little one....R&R was so important. Isn't biking the best? And the baby LUV'd it...great to hear. Really feel a vacation on Sea Pines is not the same w/o a bike! Thank you for your kind words & look forward to your return.

The villa was nicer than expected. Location was exactly as described. Property was very clean. Owner was very helpful and called to make sure everything was going as expected. I would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family. I recommend people rent bikes as that adds so much fun to the vacation. Harbor Town is a must in the evenings for live music and great food. We love CQs. We will definitely stay here again.

Owner response:Glad you received our voice mail. We wanted to make sure the Villa met your expectations....so glad it did! What a neat trip to celebrate with your young family & in-laws/grandparents. Steve & I look forward to having you all back! Thank you kindly.

My family and I stayed at this lovely property during the Heritage Golf Classic week. The location is perfect and close to everything. This condo is the most beautifully furnished condo that we have yet to stay in while visiting HHI; we visit the island at least twice a year. The condo is better than described and the view of the golf green is amazing!! We will definitely stay here again.

Owner response:Thank you all for being our guests! I am glad you were able to combine business with a little vacation! Look forward to having you again.....

What a fabulous condo! It exceeded our expectations. Your pictures do not do your condo justice. It was posh, clean and comfy with many quality touches. The location on this gated plantation is the BEST and so close to the beach. We liked being on the second floor with all the windows open at night. Loved the walk-n-shower and the pull out mirrors in the bathrooms. Thank you for a great fall week!

This is a fabulous villa, with everything a person could want or need for a relaxing vacation....minutes from everything on a bicycle....pool, beach, shoppes or restaurants. South Beach is a must along with Harbor Town. The beds are top of the line with nice linens and beautiful decor with luxurious living...all while you are on vacation! A return is definitely in the future.

Owner response: We appreciate folks that make the trip from the midwest as it's challenging ($) for you all to get here. We hope to have you again & keep an eye on the airlines $'s......the island IS worth it, we promise!

We loved our first visit to Hilton Head. This villa was clean and well equipped. (Pool clean, too.) Great central location with easy access to trolley, bike paths, golf, beaches, etc. Pleasant coffee and cocktail time from the balcony overlooking the 8th hole of Heron Point course. These owners wanted us to have a good experience, and we did!

Over the years, we have stayed in many villas in Hilton Head, mostly in Sea Pines. We have even stayed in several villas in the same complex. This villa is beautifully furnished and is outfitted with the nicest bed linens, plus the most complete bathroom and kitchen accessories. It was exceptionally clean and very inviting. The views from the patio were serene - our dog especially enjoyed watching the golfers approach the green. We can't wait to return!

Owner response:It was a pleasure having you! Keep an eye on the calendar & come back soon.
