Barb and Steve Once again thanks so much for letting us enjoy your wonderful villa. All photos are exactly what the villa has to offer. As others have noted the little extras really make your villa so comfortable. The Cd selection was our favorite to listen to as we prepared dinner, the guitar is a nice touch especially since our son plays and he would play at night for us on the beautiful deck, and the games left for use were fun as well. The villa was very clean and very well equipped. Another year of great memories on HHI!

This is first time we have been to Hilton Head as we usually go to the Gulf area....now this is the last time we will go anywhere else.We had a wonderful time staying at your beautiful condo! We loved the decor....comfortable,classy,fun,immaculate and equipped with every essential you could possibly need. We loved listening to your music selections (left our CD's in the car) as we enjoyed having breakfast or dinner on the large, comfortable deck.Great recommendations for the Fresh Market and restaurants in the area.Your location is perfect....we could bike or walk to just about anywhere....which we did - daily.The pool was close, clean and very refreshing after playing a round of golf.The beaches are terrific for biking or walking and we had the perfect weather for it all.From the "pre trip" info you shared with us, to the last day of our stay, we were totally pleased with everything! and would like to thank you for your hospitality.We had a fabulous vacation and hope to be back next spring.

We stayed in this wonderful condo from January 15, 2011 to March 1, 2011. There is so many positive things to say about this condo. I guess the number one best thing was that glorious deck. In the winter, the sun comes up and warms the deck beautifully. Even when it was in the 40's and 50's, we were able to sit out and enjoy the warmth of the sun. We spent a lot of time on the deck.  The lake view was beautiful.  The condo is so spacious and Barbara and Steve took great pains to decorate it beautifully. I love the palm tree in the corner and plan to buy one for my family room. This condo kitchen is so well stocked. That is a very important feature for us snowbirds. It certainly was nice to have the pillow top mattress in the master bedroom. We slept peacefully and soundly. We want to thank Barbara and Steve for opening up their beautiful condo to us. Unfortunately, it is already rented for next winter and I'm sure nothing will ever measure up to this wonderful home away from home.

We had a beautiful day biking up to Harbour Town (amazed you can ride halfway there on the beach)..... Hilton Head is more than I ever imagined...I don't want to leave! There is so much to love about it. And I'm so glad we were able to stay at your place..I can't imagine that I'd like staying anywhere else on the island after being here!! The location is great, your deck is so peaceful and the whole place is well stocked with everything one could need.....Thanks for opening your beautiful second home for strangers to enjoy. It's so easy to fell at home... Thanks again.. SIncerely, Bonnie & John

Dear Steve, Jeff and I and the kids thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your villa. We especially loved the cozy deck overlooking the beautiful lagoon. We saw some alligators and some beautiful wading birds, including the great blue heron. The location was great as well - quick to the store (I love their cinnamon rolls & Starbucks coffee), Shelter Cove and the beach. We will definitely come back! Thanks again, Serena

Date of Stay: 06/26/10 Review Submitted: 07/12/10

The location of Queen's Grant was excellent because it was convenient to everything. The rental was well furnished and well equipped. The owners were very easy to deal with and the rental was extremely smooth. Our only issue upon arrival was that the propane tank to the gas grill was empty. I must admit that we were enjoying our stay because we could deal with the occasional dead ‘palmetto bug’, but around day four we started having live visitors. We know what it’s like to live in tropical climates so we know not to leave any food items just laying about so we were very conscientious of cleanliness. We have been to Hawaii four times, Mexico five times, the Caribbean twice, we’ve stayed in hotels in SC and have rented numerous condos in Florida and the Keys and have never had such an experience with ‘palmetto bugs’. Sure we would see them about the property or on the sidewalks but never in our living quarters. The odd thing is that we never saw any ‘palmetto bugs’ on the resort property only in our living quarters. It was so distressing to both my husband and I that the last two nights we checked into the Marriott at $300 a night. I believe the owners (or at the cleaners) are aware of the situation because there were foggers in the closet and we even went through the two cans of raid we bought. I would suggest that the place be thoroughly cleaned and professionally sprayed at least monthly.

Owner response:Thank you for your comments. We strive to provide the best possible experience for all of our clients. If you found the propane tank empty and refilled it we would be happy to reimburse you for any expense incurred. Please let us know. We have been renting our villa since 2004 and have had only positive reviews and comments from every client. We have never had any type of problem with Palmetto Bugs to our knowledge. (The foggers are used yearly in the attic area) Our unit is professionally cleaned and is sprayed regularly by Orkin Pest Control, a professional pest control company. (Every unit in our community has to be sprayed regularly as part of our HOA requirements since we are in the Lowcountry of South Carolina) Since reviewing your comments, I requested and they have completed a special treatment both inside and outside to insure proper coverage. Please feel free to select a week of your choice to compensate you for your inconvenience.I will send you the details via mail.We want you to be completely satisfied and would welcome the chance to have you as our guests again. Regards, The Owners

Thank you so much for sharing your "beautiful" vacation home with us. You have done an amazing decorating job- both inside and out! All of your furnishings, lighting and accent decor made us feel right at home....where others have the basics, you have put in all the extra touches. We also enjoyed the deck and all of its comfortable seating. Friends of ours were staying at another villa and stopped by to visxit us and could not get over how nice and homey the place felt. we also had the best waether- so our week was perfect. We hope to get back again next spring!

What a wonderful "home away from home" We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thak you for opening your home for others to experience. There was nothing we needed-very wel supplied with every imaginable appliance and dish. The weather was beautiful; and watching the ducks and an occasional Herron in the lagoon as as well as the turtles brought us entertainment. Our kids spent hours chasing the Geecos and had much fun with the "catch and release game" We hope to come again next year.
