25 people had the best time. We didn't have to leave the house or pool, lots of room for everyone. This house should be on your list. With the temp at 34 outside the pool at 85 and the hot tube at 100 we had a ball--the kids wouldn't get out. We ate, and ate, we had everything we needed to cook with. My family just loved this house. We did go to the beach-not a far walk-took pictures then right back to the house. Why would you go any place else???? The ladies took walks, the guys took runs, we went shopping, we spent a day in Savanna--we are coming back and it will be at this house.

This home could not have been more perfect. There were so many things exceptional about this home that it would be hard to list them all. We certainly appreciated all the attention the owners have given to making it easy and enjoyable to spend the week there. (Labeling lighting, dimmers, plenty of refrigerator room, ice machine, sound system, great game room, modern and up to date on everything, etc, etc, etc. The pool was perfect with the beach like shallow end for little ones and large enough to accomodate large groups. Wonderful, private backyard with plenty of seating for relaxing and watching the kids in the pool. We were more than pleasantly surprised with the accomodations considering we just could see pictures from the internet. The beds were wonderful too... Wished we could come each summer. But if we ever make it back to hilton head, we will definitely check with you. Thanks again.

Everything we could have asked for and more... We were 10 adults and 8 children and there was more room than we needed. Clean and fabulous amenities and comfort. Great location and gorgeous backyard and decking. Loved all the extra touches the owners put into this house. It truly was a vacation to remember..

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful home. Everything we needed was right there. The house is 2 easy blocks from the beach. Some of us rented bikes at a very reasonable rate. The house is convenient to shopping, dining, and sightseeing. The pool was just the right size and provided a lot of downtime for the children. The hot tub was wonderful day and night because of the shade. We enjoyed going to Sea Pines, Savannah, and thrift shops. I recommend the Old Fort Pub for dinner. The description did not include the fact that one bedroom was a pass-through to the back bedroom. There was adequate dining space for all of us, and the porches made even the rain enjoyable. The large dining and foyer area made possible a ballet recital by some of the girls. The house was immaculate when we entered it, as were the grounds. All in all, it was one of the best vacation homes we've ever rented.

Owner response: Great to hear you and your family had an excellent time at our home. PS. We have already taken a couple of your suggestions and put them into the works to implement. Hope to see you back at our home again soon. The Jann Family

This home is truly a perfect vacation getaway! Very spacious, well appointed, luxury furnishings, fully stocked, beautiful porches for coffee in the morning, a home away from home! We had several adults for a reunion stay and with separate bathrooms in each bedroom there was total privacy. The outdoor areas are fantastic, it's a short jaunt to the beach every morning to walk, a short drive to everything you need for the week for shopping, restaurants and spa! We would stay again and recommend to all our friends, a true gem and perfect in every way! We even played board games every night...Look no further this house is what you're looking for!!!

We rented this home to have our annual family reunion. There were 16 of us. This home afforded us plenty of room, great amenities (the bathrooms are to die for), a fabulous and well stocked kitchen (everything you need to create a great dining environment), very comfortable bedding, and close proximity to the beach. The pool area was great for lounging, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the hot tub! All in all this property has it all. The owners were very thorough and great to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend this home!

16 Mallard was a beautiful spacious home with lots of attention to small details. The home had all accommodations, including items for babies, a computer, games, surround sound, media room, etc. We slept 6 adults and 8 children (6 yrs and under) very comfortably with room for several more. The large kitchen was perfect for a big group. The house was so spacious that we never felt on top of each other. Our favorite area was to pool and outdoor living space which we used everyday for several hours

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE - We had a Fantastic Week together in a Fabulous Home! Everything about your property is great for all ages and interests. It "is" just as it is pictured - comfy, cozy, fully decorated, convenient, lots of room, clean & well maintained. Great Beach - rent a bike - you can tour & exercise to your heart's content. The Pool area is great for Sun Lovers or Shade Lovers, and made a great Beach Ball Volley Ball area for our very active teens (and adults). The Owner couldn't have been more helpful - by phone re email. The Information Packet you receive is extremely useful and informative. We will definetly recommend your home to everyone we share our experience with - it sure put the "Happy" in our Celebration!

Owner response: We are glad you had a great time and it sounds like you really enjoyed the pool area. We did expand the pool deck by 300 sq ft for the 2011 season per great feedback from our guests to make it even better. Hope to have you back for another stay in the future. The Jann Family

We had an excellent vacation at 16 Mallard. The house has everything for families with young children as well as teenagers. The kitchen was a great place to cook in and had everything you could need. The outdoor area was amazing and we really enjoyed the pool and spa. Great house for multiple families!

Awesome House for Multiple Familes or Large Groups

Review Submitted 03/12/11

We stayed at this wonderful house last weekend for a girls' getaway. There were 8 of us and the house was not crowded in the least. It's a short distance to the beach and to Coligny Square - where there's a Piggly Wiggly grocery store and many re.staurants and shops. We're very picky ladies and everything aspect of the house was amazing. We didn't even get to the basement to use the pool table and other games table while we were there. I personally met the owners and they are extremely nice people and very easy to work with. They pay a lot of attention to detail throughout the house. I could go on and on, but I don't want it to be booked next year when we return next year, since we decided we had to visit at least one per year!

We could not have had a more perfect place for our son and daughter-in-laws wedding reception. It was a beautiful wedding in a beautiful house. There were so many great times that will always be remembered in this place and the owners are great people to work with.... The pictures do not do it justice because it is even prettier then they show. There ambiance is amazing, inside and out. It was nearby to anything we needed and all the relatives that came from out of state had everything at their fingertips. I would recommend this place to all....

We just returned from an unforgettable family vacation at 16 Mallard, and were completely overwhelmed by how amazing it is. The house is incredible, with every possible amenity you can imagine. The kitchen is truly a dream which made cooking fun for everyone. Loved the separate ice maker and the warming oven. There are so many places to eat, both inside and out, that we could have chosen a different one for every meal! The kids, big and small, LOVED having a TV in every room and being able to quickly access the internet. We were concerned about not being right on the beach, but it is just a short walk away, and the backyard more than made up for it. It's worth the price just for the pool area itself. It is truly spectacular, completely private, and no chlorine to deal with. It's everything we wanted and more. Our thanks to the owners and property manager who stayed in contact to make sure that our stay was perfect. It was.

This house is wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice. The whole house is very high end. We loved the pool and the hot tub... the whole pool area is great. The game room and the media room were hits with all the kids. The boys loved staying in the "bunk house" as they called it. The kitchen is a dream kitchen.... the ice machine is an extra you don't get in other houses. Every deck area has fans, the grill is large enough to cook a feast. The master suite is something you have to see to believe. All the bedrooms were great, beds were all just like home....extra towels were provided as well as beach towels for the pool, so you don't have to worry about laundry all the time. The pool is one of the largest we have seen. There are pool toys to use and wonder tables and chairs to lounge in. The second refridg is in the game room just off from the pool, so there is always a cold beverage to be had by the pool. The beach is a short walk and they provide you with beach toys, chairs, and a cart to carry all your beach stuff in. There are even coolers to use if you want to take them to the beach. Our family truly loved this house and hope to be able to come back again some day.

This property has everything you need to enjoy a vacation with the family. If you are looking for top notch amenities with the comfortable at-home feel this house has it. Everything from the pool, game room to the flat screen t.v.’s, this house has the touch of class we were looking for. My family and I have already booked our week next year and are looking forward to another fun and relaxing week at 16 mallard.

I cannot say enough great things about this property and its owner! It house itself is really open and spacious, well decorated, comfortable, homey and clean. All of the bedrooms are really nice (especially the master bedroom, it has a yoga studio off of it!) and the kitchen is amazing! We had 22 people staying in the house and we never felt crowded. The decks are really nice and we spent a ton of time out there from breakfast to dinner. Great pool and hot tub and really close to the beach. We were nervous about the proximity to the beach but shouldn't have been, it takes 1 minute to walk! The street is pretty quiet and we were nervous that we might be too loud for the neighbors but they were really understanding and let us know directly if they had any complaints. The owners and property maintenance staff were superb and helped us out so much. They were really accessible during the whole week and were so prompt about getting anything fixed or replaced or anything else we needed. Basically you cannot go wrong if you are looking for a fabulous, luxurious and fun beach vacation home!

This house really exceeded any and all expectations. The area behind the house is an oasis - it has a great patio area perfect for barbecuing and soaking in the rays. The pool is great, and it even connects the hot tub, which sits directly below the patio. This house is great for any large number of people, whether you are a group of friends or a large family. And it even has a game room downstairs for kids, including a pool table and an arcade-style basketball shootout challenge. 16 Mallard is as good of a bang for your buck as you're going to find in North Forest Beach.

Stayed at 16 Mallard over Labor Day. What a wonderful getaway! Private pool and hot tub are the perfect way to relax and the beach is only a 100 yards from the front door. The owners have really done a great job with all the furnishings/amenities and every room has an HDTV. I've already booked my stay for next year!

This place was an ideal rental for our yearly family get together. We stayed in September 09'. To my amazement this house is completely updated with the lastest and greatest of technologies. Not only could I watch TV in every room, there is a wireless connection, so I could keep up with my office during the week. There is a huge kitchen area which was great for us to prepare all our meals and with all the people you never were bumping into everyone. Rooms were very clean and very cozy and the master made us feel like we were in a castle with all the space. There was even a bunk house for some of the kids to have some space and us to have some peace. As good as it is on the inside there is plenty of room outside the house. There are several decks that allow plenty of room to lounge, play cards, sit in the sun including down by the pool and hot tub, which the kids and all of us enjoyed everyday. One of the biggest perks with all of this house was that the beach was literally around the corner, maybe a 2 football field walk. The Caron's will definitely be back next summer. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
