Our month at 66 Ocean Breeze was great! The unit is convenient to the beach, shopping and entertainment. The amenities at this property are outstanding. They include all you need for a trip to the beach, 4 great bikes, and a wonderful golf package. This unit was great for our dog. The floors made for easy clean up of hair, and there were other dogs on the property so that walking him and clean up were easy too. Chuck and Mary's tips on dining and recreation are very helpful accurate. We really enjoyed our stay at your property, and would not hesitate to book with you again.

We truly enjoyed our stay in Ocean Breeze. The accomodations were very clean and met our expectations. We loved the location to the beach and all the bike trails were a bonus. Management was great to work with. We will definitely be back!

Luxury Townhouse, Bikes, Beach and Awesome Beds

Guest: BeachWalk (New Hope, PA)
Date of Stay: 10/25/08 Review Submitted: 11/08/08

We love Hilton Head and we loved this villa. We have visited Hilton Head many times. The area where the condo was located was quiet and close to the beach and all of the activities near Coligny Plaza. The owners, Chuck and Mary, advertised that their villa was kept meticulously clean and they were true to their words. The Bikes made getting around so easy and economical. We rode the bikes on the beach every day and rode them to breakfast every morning at the Coligny Bakery and Java Joes. The "pillow top" mattresses were wonderful to sleep on. We want to put the mattresses in our home. The owner was very understanding and offered many good recommendations for dining and activities. We loved the Sea Shack for fish dinners and the burritos at Amigos. The condo was beautifully decorated and the surroundings made us feel like we were at the beach all the time. We have recommended this property to several of our friends and family members. We would have to say that this condo was awesome and gave us one of our best vacation memories - and we will be back!

Your lovely Villa was the perfect place to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. We visit Hilton Head often and hope we have the chance to stay in your villa again soon! The owner’s restaurant guide was right on and the bikes provided were a daily treat. We rode them every morning to Coligny Plaza for coffee and croissants. In the evening we would ride the beaches and watch the sunset. The unit is exactly as advertised... Very cozy and comfortable. Thank you Chuck and Mary

Owner response:Thank you about your kind words about our villa. We hope you enjoyed our Southern Hospitality too. See you soon!

Date of Stay: 09/06/08 Review Submitted: 09/15/08

We so enjoyed our week 9-6 to 9-13 so much we will be back again and again. Our townhome was an easy nature walk to the beach, and Coligny. Kenny B's restaurant gives you plenty of good food. Chuck gave us great fishing spot, and was so easy to work with. Enjoyed Forest Beach and South Beach in Sea Pines to see the Dolphins every day.Thank you so much Chuck, for letting us bring Antonio the Collie with us. We loved this vacation and will be back soon. Always wanted our own beach house, now we have it! Jeanne and George

Owner response:Hi Jeane and George, thank you for your kind words about our Townhome. Hopefully we will see you again soon. Chuck and Mary

This is a well equipped unit, very comfortable, great bicycles, close to Coligny Circle and only a brief walk to a beautiful beach. Owners recommendations about restaurants are particularly helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay at this townhouse. The ad describes it very accurately. We were particularly impressed by how meticulously CLEAN it was in every room! We were also pleased with how responsive the management was with our requests. We have two young children and normally we have to pack tons of equipment to make our travels work. Chuck helped lighten our load by providing us with a playpen, high chair, and a gate for the stairs. Great service!

What a lovely villa! We couldn't have asked for a cleaner or more comfortable place!! It is a pleasant walk or bike ride to the beach and close to great places to eat. Thankyou for being dog friendly. Our little mini-schnauzers loved it!!

Owner response:Thank you for your kind words about our vacation rental. We would love to have you back some time soon. Please keep us in mind for your next vacation.

Never had hot water

Guest: Chomper (NC)
Date of Stay: 05/10/08 Review Submitted: 10/23/08

The house was nice however we never had hot water. And when we would call Chuck...he apologized and said he would come out to fix it. It would have been fine if it just happened once however it happened 3 times. The 2nd and 3rd time we called Chuck he wasn't so nice. The 2nd time he came out, it took him about 1 1/2 hours to get there and fix it. The third time he said, "Oh well i'm not going to be on the island until tomorrow, i'll come and fix it then." Which that is unacceptable when you have someone paying money to stay at your house. I understand it's a pain to come so much, but it wasn't a cheap vacation and i want to be able to take a hot shower if i want to. And he never felt the need to take a little money off for the inconvenient. We love hilton head, but will never do business with Chuck again. And there was a cleaning fee which is stupid because we were expected to clean up very well before we left, which was hard to do when you don't have any hot water to do the dishes. Over all we had an aweful experience with Chuck!!

Owner response:We are sorry for the inconvenience that Chomper & his girlfriend experienced, but their problems stemmed from their lack of knowledge of how a hot water heater on an Energy Savings Program works. Like most Hot Water Heater on HHI, our system is on an Energy Savings Program. The system has a timer & shuts off during energy peak hours to conserve energy, usually during late afternoon. This was the time that the girls & boys would come back from the beach and take a shower. We have been doing this for 11 years and they were the first to drain our hot water tank during the day. It takes about 1 hour for a shower to drain a 50 gallon tank. Why was the showers used for such a long time? They told us that after taking a shower the guys and gals would dry their hair. The additional electrical surge probably shorted out the circuit breaker. After resetting the breaker, everything worked fine! Next day I get the same call at the same time. I am worried & spend 90 minutes in an overheated attic testing all the circuitry and checking electrical systems. The hot water heater was working; just that the water was lukewarm because all of the hot water had been used. Now I suspect something; I ask them for their cooperation in helping to solve this dilemma & suggest that maybe taking a shorter shower or time it just an hour or 2 earlier may avoid a recurrence. They act offended when I suggest to them, to think that somehow their over use & abuse may be the problem. They suggest that they were paying for it & wanted hot water on demand – a lot of it too! The same time the next day I get the same call. Now what am I suppose to do? I tell them to wait just a few hours & the hot water tank will reheat and replace the used water. Upon inspection the next morning, everything is working fine again but I can tell they don’t like it. We don’t get anymore phone calls. Please note that after they left on 5/17/08; we have rented out this villa for the next 23 weeks before they filed their Review. Guess what? Not one phone call over the next 23 weeks complaining about hot water. What am I suppose to conclude? We have been doing this for 11 yrs. We have booked about 350 rentals this yr & over 2000 since our inception. This has never happened before, nor has it happened after. Once again, we are sorry for Chomper’s inconvenience, but as mentioned, their problems stemmed from their unrealistic expectations & abuse & their refusal to cooperate.

We had an absolutely wonderful time during our week's stay. The villa is beautiful and had everything we needed and then some. We loved how close we were to the beach, shopping, and hot spots. We definately need to go back to see some more of the sights. We would not stay anywhere else. We loved it and so did our puppy.

Our week at Ocean Breeze #10 was awesome! The unit is exactly as advertised... Very cozy and comfortable. The deck out back was relaxing with a great view of the garden. We even saw a huge hawk capture his dinner! Everything you need is already in the unit! You don't even have to bring beach chairs or an umbrella. It's a 9 minute walk to the beach from the condo, and Coligney Plaza is about 1/2 mile away, not a bad walk for dinner at all. Had stayed at other locations on HHI, but S. Forest Beach was beautiful!!! Definately will be staying here again! You can't go wrong with Ocean Breeze!

Owner response:We would love to have you back some time soon. Please keep us in mind for your next vacation.

We really did enjoy our week at your villa. The villa is very comfortable and lovely--the beds are awesome! WE appreciate that there is limited carpeting as it's so much easier to keep clean with pergo floors, both for the sand and pets. The area is quiet and shaded by the trees so it was cooler and great for outdoor reading and visiting with family.The weather was especially grand and the flowers on the island were gorgeous. We think May must be a great time to visit. We had never been there at that time in the past. The bikes were wonderful because they made getting around so easy and economical with the increase in gas prices that week! WE would reccomend the villa to friends and family.

My husband & I along with our son & daughter-in-law & our 3 retired greyhounds stayed here from 8/19/06 to 8/26/06. We had a wonderful vacation, so very relaxing. The condo was in a super location - it was decorated so beautifully & the surroundings were breath taking. We would certianly stay here again & hope to visit Hilton Head in the very near future again. We have recommended this property to several people. The owner was wonderful to work with - very understanding about renting the property to someone with 3 greyhounds. All in all we got a super vacation with awesome memories in this home away from home.
