Located 150 feet from the best beach on Hilton Head Island (as featured in Hilton Head magazine). This southern-style beach house has a large porch with rockers and a swing to relax. It provides a private, heated pool and adjoining hot tub with private lounge chairs for sun bathing. The kidney-shaped pool is surrounded by palms and overhanging live oak trees. After returning from the beach, enjoy the private outdoor shower. The pool may be heated for an additional charge. Please inquire.
It is minutes away from golf, tennis, shopping, and restaurants; yet its location at the end of a sandy lane in South Forest Beach affords peace and quiet with the sound of the ocean.
It is perfect for two or more families vacationing together, with the two master bedrooms
On the main floor, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, TV, private bath with deep tub and separate shower. Also on the main floor is a bedroom with two twin beds and a den with a queen sized sleeper sofa. The den has a TV and shares a bathroom with the twin bedroom.
On the 2nd floor, there is a newly added master bedroom with a king-size bed, TV and has a large master bath. Also on the 2nd floor is a bedroom with another king size bed and a bedroom with two twin beds. They share a large bathroom with a tub/shower/toilet and two sinks. There is also a small bedroom with a trundle bed which converts to 2 twin beds. There is a bathroom adjoining it with with a toilet and vanity. The washer and dryer are on the 2nd floor.
The living area is very open with two-story ceilings, and TV/VCR/DVD. The dining area is adjoining but separate with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool area. There is seating for ten plus two at the kitchen counter.
The kitchen has been expanded this year with granite countertops and new appliances added along with a center island. The kitchen is great for cooking large meals or just preparing snacks.
There is under-house parking for two cars and space in the driveway for two more.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We have loved Hilton Head Island ever since my first visit there in 1980. We have been vacationing there on a regular basis ever since. We finally decided to buy a place and enjoy the island even more.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love that the location is private, you can hear the sound of the waves from the ocean at night. The beach is just great right there and is never crowded. The new renovations have made the house even better.
The grand Marriott is close but not too close, they have beach bar and rent chairs and umbrellas.
point of entry to sea pines plantation. you can ride you bike in along the beach then easy ride to Harbor Town.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
This is one of two houses that the Stratton Family has purchased for some family use and for rental. We manage the properties and rent them ourselves. Our renters save on the 30 percent fee that many of the management companies charge. We live in Marietta Ga and travel to the properties regularly to keep the properties in tip top shape for the rental season.

The PERFECT place for our family reunion!

We're a family of 13 - grandma and grandpa, 3 daughters with spouses and children - ranging in age from 72 down to 17 months. We chose this home from many other possibilities for our first family gathering in 5 years. The purpose was to celebrate our 50th anniversary, and a bunch of special birthdays (70, 18, 16, and 5). We couldn't have found a better place! Everything was exactly as advertised - and better. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen/dining area were just right for us (our youngest daughter did most of the cooking, since she lived the closest and didn't have the travel expense of the rest of us), and we loved hanging out in the huge living room. Of course, the pool and hot tub got plenty of use by everyone. We rented bikes (the owner told us how to get a discount) and road to Coligny Plaza several times. The very short (less than 2 minutes) walk to the beach was not just a perfect distance, but was a pretty walk as well. Even though there are other houses nearby, we had total privacy. The owners were especially helpful (we left a pillow and they mailed it to us!), answering all our questions and being very friendly and courteous. We did a bunch of stuff - night shark fishing (not the best experience), lots of shopping, ice cream at Frozen Moo (Coligny), and bike rides. For our 50th, our girls gave us "family pictures on the beach" by Legacy Design Photographers. The photos are spectacular! We highly recommend this property for anyone who wants the perfect Hilton Head location, wonderful amenities, and owners who really care. Our vacation could not have been better! Thank you, folks - you made it so special for us!

Great layout, close to beach, great beach path walkway! Rent the bikes!!!

The listing was accurate, the photos were current, the property was clean and maintained. The owner was responsive to emails ahead of time. I would recommend this property to friends/relatives, and I would stay again! Great location- just beyond the crowds on the beach. Great layout: We had 3 families who had enough privacy and space: one section of the upstairs closes off and houses 3 bedrooms with a bath and a half. One bedroom is a king, the other is a trundle, and the other has 2 twins. The other bedroom upstairs is the new king master with a really nice bathroom; this room is situated above the kitchen and is affected by kitchen noise below. W/D upst. Downstairs, there are 2 real bedrooms (1 King with a nice bath and 1 twin). There is also a hall bath and a downstairs "den" with a sofa bed deemed comfy by our 15 year old. Too bad the "den" doesn't have a dvd player...though they were in the large bedrooms and the family area. The kitchen table was great, and the layout of the kitchen with the island allowed many of us to be in there at the same time. I would advise others to bring good kitchen equipment. Of course, you can't EVER find a good knife at a beach rental, but, in addition to knives, bring your cutting board, your cookie sheets, and a favorite pan. There is a great, large steamer pan (for pasta, crab, or lobster cooking), but other pans are really worn and old. There is not really enough silverware for a full house (9 people), so bring an extra set or run the dishwasher frequently! The house is indeed second tier, really close to the beach, and the path to the beach is quaint and shady (and you can ride your bike on it!). You can even see a sliver of the beach/water outside the front door! The front porch is nice, and there were no bugs to speak of the first week of June when we were there. The pool is nice, but there is not a broom (with any bristles left) in that outside living area. So, throw your broom in the car, too! The hot tub is great. Read the directions so the hot tub stays nice. It's easy to follow the keypad instructions in the kitchen. The outdoor shower was kind of yicky, and the grill was a disappointment because you couldn't see how much propane there was, and nobody wants to fool with a propane tank refill when they're on vacation! Food recommendations: Sea Shack (behind Truffles); Catch 22. Riding Tigers Bike Rental. We'll be back, and we'll be better prepared! Thanks for sharing a great house!
