About this property

Find out why everyone adores the Beachin Cottage - 100 steps to the beach!

The newly renovated, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath beach cottage will have you hooked from the second you step inside.

The home offers four beautifully decorated bedrooms including one king bed, two queen beds, and two twin beds. The open grey and white floor plan allows guests to lounge in one of two spacious living rooms. Choose the upstairs lounge, watching the 50” screen tv, while others are in the fully equipped kitchen or dining area. Choose the second living area downstairs, with another 50” and Netflix, as others are lounging in the screened in porch just off the pool deck.

There’s no need to bring a lot with you, we have everything you could think of! The beds are fully made up with extra soft linens and plush towels are provided. Enjoy fresh hand soaps and shampoos, and when you’re finished, use one of our complimentary hair dryers. Our large washer and dryer is fully equipped with soaps and dryer sheets.

This is Hilton Head, and you know the real magic happens once you step outside! No matter how you choose to relax, we’ve got just the thing for you! Step into the enclosed, spacious backyard for a dip in your private *heated pool the largest on North Forrest Beach sporting its own tanning ledge built in! Naturally, Hilton Head didn’t get voted #1 Best Island in the US or #2 Island in the World by Conde Nast for OUR pool, but a short walk to the beach is all the proof you’ll need. Just 50 steps through your own secluded beach access to where the dunes open to the possibilities of sandcastles and long sunset walks.


When you’re in the mood for adventure and investigating, head out from our quiet neighborhood just down the bike path to our popular Coligny shopping area. Here you’ll find a theater, several of the 250 renowned restaurants on the island, scattered among several spas and boutiques the island has become famous for.

For an educational experience, head over to the Coastal Discovery Museum just a short distance down our 12-mile island. Here you’ll learn why, on Hilton Head Island, we are passionate about our turtles, learn some interesting facts and even more about the turtle nests we’ve adopted each season.

The house is lovely and well appointed. We had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the view and proximity to the beach is amazing. This was my granddaughter‘s first trip. This location was ideal for three generations To spend time the pool was so delicious and shady and ideal for hot days. I would highly recommend a stay at the beach in cottage.

This home was exactly as described. It was very well decorated and supplied with everything you would need in the kitchen. It was great having our own pool and it was steps from the beach. This was our first trip to Hilton head and my family really enjoyed it and we hope to return in a couple of years. The host were excellent with providing us great places to eat and hang out.

We could not see the beach from the cottage. However, it was a quick walk with a private beach access. The pool was wonderful. Only downfall was we did not factor in the pool heat cost which was quite pricey. That was one of the main reasons we got the house and the weather was cooler than normal.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 15, 2026
Thank you so much for your feedback—we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the pool and the easy walk through the private beach access. That’s one of the things guests love most about this location…tucked just enough off the ocean to create that spacious, private backyard feel, while still being only about 100 steps to the sand and just a mile from Coligny. We completely understand your note on the pool heat. Our pool is one of the largest in the North Forest Beach area, and because of its size, heating it does require more energy—especially during cooler or unexpected temperature dips that come on the island this time of season! That’s why we always share heating details at the time of booking and encourage guests to consider weather trends ahead of their stay so they can decide what will best enhance their experience. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back again—perhaps during a warmer stretch to enjoy that beautiful pool even more!

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

We were a group of 5 adults and 1 toddler, and this was the perfect spot for us. The pool, outdoor space, and two living areas made it a great place to relax and hang out at the house, and the beach was only a couple minutes walk. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive, and we would definitely stay here again or recommend for others.

About the host

Hosted by Rusty and Susan David

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with Hilton Head years ago. Raised in the Northern areas of Cape Cod and the New Jersey shoreline, the SC coastal area didnt take long to want me to share those same childhood memories with our children and soon, ResHH a collaboration of everyone's initials was born. We opened our homes to families hoping to help them fall in love with the island and build family memories. Over the years as we add new spots, our rental families have come to know and appreciate each of our locations and often even become part of the process! We strive as a family to make ResHH more about treating our renters as if they are staying at their own family location. Because everyone is better "connected"!

Why they chose this property

96 North Forest is a sentimental family favorite. Its soothing tones inside allow you to relax and just decompress from the moment you walk in. Located at the end of the main North Forest Drive it offers a quieter retreat, but is just close enough to Coligny that you don't miss out on the main downtown of the island for shopping & dining. Affectionately called the "cottage", this home allows smaller families & groups to relax yet still be able to have quiet time in the dual Livingroom's, closed in porch or front patio.

What makes this property unique

One of the most unique features of this home has to be the pool. When we reconstructed the back yard area, we thought of our families. This semi enclosed area has lush lawn area, outdoor grill & dining, tons of lounge chairs and of course that pool.
Often noted as one of the largest on North Forrest, we find the entire back yard just a family oasis that takes you back to what's important - spending time building memories away from it all!
