Just left on 8/8/09. Absolute best place for a family of five. Great location, uncongested part of the beach. Great proximity to shopping and resturants.Will see you in July 2010. Thanks for a great experience. The Daisey Family Louisville,KY


We loved our first visit to Hilton Head! The beach was close and an easy walk. Not crowded at all! Definately recommend renting bikes for the week, just don't forget to take a path map with you. Lights for the bike also a good idea for at night. The pool was splendid. We had a wonderful time and the house was very warm and inviting.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes

We have been coming to the island for 25 years and North Forest Beach has retained most of its beach house character...we love the private, uncrowded beach and houses instead of condos here.
We are in all the hustle and bustle of Coligny in less than 7 minute stroll so we are the perfect blend of peace and quiet and convenience.

The Unique Benefits at this Home

No density of condos on NFB
Beautiful, peaceful sunrises
Uncrowded beach
Walk or bike to anywhere
Privacy of fully fenced in backyard

 

Owner's Map of Private Homes

Jim and I grew up in New York, travelled and lived all over the world, and still think we have found paradise on this island! Our 3 grown kids are starting the next generation of islanders too...as we convene here for all family gatherings, so they consider the island heaven too...
We hope you will enjoy our special place as much as we do
Anne and Jim

    • We stayed at Serenity by the Sea in August this year and it was fantastic! Very quiet neighborhood, great outdoor space, easy access to the beach, close to everything! The "little extras" (infant items, beach wagon and toys, cooking utensils, etc.) available to us made it feel like home! Thanks so much for making our vacation comfortable.

    • We just returned yesterday and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place. They thought of everything in this house! Anything that we happened to forget, they would have! It was amazing. The house is beautiful, clean, well kept. The pool was fantastic. We chose to have it heated and it felt like a bath tub!! It was wonderful for our young kids because they didn't like the cold water. We will definitely be going back to this house next year!!!

    • What a wonderful stay! The location to the beach was just the perfect distance to easily walk each day with 2 young children (5 and 2) even with arms full of beach toys and towels. The house was beautifully decorated and we felt instantly relaxed and welcome as soon as we walked in. It was awesome to have our very own private pool which was much larger than ones we saw in homes even twice the size of this one. Our family has many wonderful memories of our visit to Hilton Head this year and we are so glad that we chose this house.

    • Location, Location, Location!!! This house is in close proximity to the beach as well as Coligny. We have two small children so being close to the beach is important with all of the gear we had to haul. We loved the Ice Cream Cone for a snack, Coligny Bakery for breakast which is ten short blocks from the house. The house itself has all of the amenities including an updated kitchen. The private pool was terrific as well. I would definitely recommend staying here.

    • Dear Anne and Jim, Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home on Hilton Head Island. It was our first family vacation and it was perfect. We arrived to a warm welcome with all the nice fall decorations. Your home was very clean and well maintained and it was the perfect size for our family of 4. The beach was very close which was great since we have little ones. You guys thought of everything and it was a very relaxing experience. Communication was excellent and we look forward to staying there in the future. Thanks again, Joe and Arwen

    • Anne and Jim, We certainly enjoyed staying at your Serenity by the Sea. The house is lovely and well maintained; sophisticated and yet very comfortable. The separation of the bedrooms from the other living areas was a real plus for us. Its close proximity to the pool and the two doors accessing the pool made it easy to drift between the pool and both living areas. We walked the beach every day and cut over to Coligny Plaza for our daily smoothie before the walk back on the bike path. The one mistake we made was staying at the Coligny Plaza past dark one evening when we walked there for dinner. Walking back to the house without benefit of street lights was an experience. Your email administration of the rental arrangements was prompt and excellent. We particularly appreciated the quick refund of our security deposit. We had a great vacation, thanks to you, and we hope to return next year. Sandy & Conway Jolly, Mooresville, NC

    • We had a wonderful first visit to HHI! We brought our two children ages 8 & 6 and were joined by my husband's sister and her family with two children ages 10 & 8. Serenity by the Sea was the perfect vacation home for our two families! The kids LOVED the pool, and we all appreciated having the beach within walking distance, making packing and going home for lunch a breeze! We also took Anne's advise and did a boat tour with Commander Zodiac. It was surely the highlight of our week. The zodiac boats only fit up to 6 people, so our family of four (we reserved two boats) got a private boat tour to see the dolphin's up close. We were not disappointed! We saw so many dolphins and our captain was the best...she even gave the kids a turn at steering and doing some dougnut's in the water! We had a blast and hope to return to HHI again!
