Do you want to enjoy natural beauty, peaceful privacy and easy access to recreation, terrific restaurants and stores?
Then this 3000 sq ft home in the gated community of renowned Hilton Head Plantation is where you need to be, sitting on a spacious half acre lot amidst palms, bountiful azaleas and towering Carolina pines overlooking a scenic lagoon, and with easy proximity to the BEACH, POOLS, TENNIS, BIKING and GOLF inside the plantation either on a bike or by car. At the house, there is ample space for different activities for different people - cooking, reading, sunning, biking, watching movies, bird watching, listening to music - you may find you explore the area less because of this home's well designed comforts, elegance, and serenity.
Here escape the traffic, crowds, and noise that so often accompany beach destinations. Instead bike on one of the 6 bikes (1 is a child's) we've left for you, or walk on level pathways through forests past manicured golf courses, and fountains, or drive or bike within the plantation to the quietest, wild beach on the island that the public cannot access. This is a wonderful dog walking area.Bring the beach chairs we provide, your happy hour drinks for sunset, wiggle your toes in the sand, and breathe in the fresh sea air. Later sample some of the locals' favorite waterfront restaurants close by. (We have left our suggestions for you). No neon signs, no casinos, no motorcycles, no bright night lights, but instead a respect for natural beauty, peacefulness, and recreation.
Of course, outside the plantation is a vast array of other seaside experiences - dolphin watching, golfing, (discount golf information is at the house), imaginative mini-putt, salt marsh kayaking , zip lining, outlet mall shopping, museums, beach biking, or beach tanning/reading, Tuesday fireworks nights, tennis, water sports, boating - not to mention side trips to historic Charleston, 2 1/2 hours away and Savannah, 45 minutes distance or take the nearby day tripper boat return trip.
Hilton Head is known for tremendous restaurant quality, and value: there are so many competitors, you are ensured what you want is available at a reasonable price. Naturally, some nights you will enjoy dinner at home cooked in the fully equipped kitchen, and served outside on the patio, or in the formal dining room for a special meal shared with friends.
Will a week really be sufficient to do all this?
Where else can you experience the fun, and variety of a prime beach destination with all these house comforts, and the COMPLIMENTARY use of 6 bikes, a car bike rack, PLUS beach equipment - chairs, cooler, umbrella, boogie boards and the cart to haul it all in? We want to guarantee you comfort, pleasure, and SAVINGS.
Come, experience Hilton Head Island. Rest, relax, recharge - reserve! You're going to love it here.

About The Owner
We are a recently retired couple who have for years shivered through winter, but no more! In our search for a warmer climate second home, Hilton Head's attractions outnumbered our other possibilities. Here was a controlled world, where long ago, planners envisioned an environment that respected nature's beauty, not destroyed it. Stringent controls have prevented neon signs; permits are necessary to remove trees; noise, and speed laws are enforced; lighting has to meet specific standards - this is a world of scenic beauty, and recreation. In addition, where else can you bike ride on the beach for miles, your roses don't die over the winter, palms and azaleas thrive, plus you can drive from home?
The Owner purchased this house in 2009
Why The Owner chose Hilton Head Island
Life in Hilton Head Plantation is more relaxed and less busy than other areas since cars are not admitted through to sightsee the area. Many people live here year round, so it is not so transient, or seasonal. People here smile, and say hi even when they don't know you. It's friendly, scenic, comfortable, and readily accessible to amenities, many of which are here right inside the gates.
What makes this house unique
This house has spacious rooms which in addition to the outside views seen through the many windows, and skylights, seem to meld the outdoors with the indoors. We don't feel confined here, and part of that is a temperate climate that has a resort-like feel to it, so no matter the season, the outdoors can be enjoyed. The tropical palms swaying outside the screened porch, the Carolina swing under the portico, all contribute to relaxation. What else do we like here? The sunshine's sparkle on the lagoon, the birds' song at the feeder, quick bike trips to the beach, or fine restaurants, and the factory outlets just off the Island.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed spending the week in your beautiful home. Every aspect made us feel so comfortable.
We loved everything about the HH experience from the Old Fort Pub to the Oyster Festival, but especially your lovely home.
We look forward to our return visit.

Wonderful!

Beautiful home and the owners are phenomenal people!!!
We reserved our stay for our family from 9/11/18-9/15/18 as our son was graduating from USMC Boot Camp on 9/14. The Saturday before we were scheduled to leave is when all of the uncertainties of hurricane florence began and the Marine Corp social media sites began mentioning possibly moving the grad date up to Tuesday ( original day of check in). So being we had a 14+ hr drive ahead of us and not wanting to chance missing the graduation, i messaged Colleen to see if we could possibly move our stay up a day and without any hesitation, she gladly obliged and jumped through alot of hoops to arrange all the parking passes for the plantation, etc. Throughout our entire stay, she remained in constant contact with us to assure we were ok first and foremost and giving us constant updates on the storm. Her husband and herself are wonderful people who arent just in the business of renting out their home. They put the renters first over everything and assure that you have a wonderful time while staying in their home. Everyone in the neighborhood is so friendly and courteous in which is something you dont find often in todays world. The house has everything that you could possibly want or need throughout your stay in Hilton Head. There is a beautiful lagoon in the backyard, the private pool is within a 2 minute walk, and the lazy river pool is within a 7 minute bike ride in which Don and Colleen provide in their garage for the renters use. Again i cannot emphasize enough on how wonderful they were throughout our entire stay. We will definitely be back and if i could give this a 10 star rating, i would do without hesitation. Definitely was the best experience of anywhere we've ever had out of all our vacation rentals over the years. Thank you Don & Colleen for world class hospitality!!!

Very Comfortable Home in a Great Location
The home was very comfortable with lots of privacy. We especially enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch area each morning having our coffee with our little dog! We loved the location because it was away from the busy southern part of the island yet very convenient to many restaurants, golf courses, and grocery stores. There are two very nice pools within 5 minutes of the house as well as a nature conservancy walking trail just across from the house. Colleen was great to deal with and provided plenty of information about the area and things to do within the community. We had a nice and relaxing time and will return again.
House exactly as described, lazy river misrepresented
The house was exactly as pictured! Big and roomy enough for our family of 6 to spread out! It was so nice to have things like bikes, sand toys and boogie boards for the kids to play with. We rented 2 additional bikes as well because we needed trailers for smaller kids but Colleen recommended the Bike Doctor and they did not disappoint. We loved biking to the pools and exploring HHP a bit!
I enjoyed the space of cooking in a larger kitchen than many vacation rentals have, along with all the utensils and pots and pans anyone could want. The only thing about the kitchen was that the appliances were dated, but they worked perfectly.
Our only real issue with our rental was the misrepresentation of the lazy river in the photos here on HomeAway. As of 8/28/18, the picture being shown there with the lush greenery and people floating peacefully along, that exact lazy river actually belongs to a Hilton Resort in Florida. We were very confused when we went to the Spring Lake pool and it looked nothing like this. Don’t get me wrong, that pool complex is awesome in and of itself, so we were perplexed! I sent a very nice email to Colleen asking if HHP had a second lazy river because the one in the picture did not match reality. I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking there was another one. When she said there wasn’t, I still gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe she had never seen the lazy river since she doesn’t have little kids. When she told me that she has been there, she explained away why there weren’t blue inner tubes as if that was my complaint and didn’t address the fact that the picture she posted of their communities facilities, in fact belonged in Florida. I was super nice about all of this, thinking she would appreciate being informed of this (in a nice way) but all she said was “interesting” and that picture is still up. We would have still rented with the real picture of their lazy river but I would like to see an honest representation of what is there.
There were some issues with communication that really soured the experience for me. While I appreciate the vacation my family had while staying there, if we had to do it all over again we would have stayed elsewhere. Some of our emails were taken the wrong way with very unpleasant responses and that really messed up the whole experience. I also feel like every picture on the listing should be accurate and not misleading.
The house and location are great for beach access, shopping, the pool, and other fun activities.
The home is a wonderfully private and quiet location for a relaxing Hilton Head vacation. The owners have the home prepared for your arrival, and a detailed list of options for entertainment, dining and relaxation are at your fingertips. There was a Wednesday morning landscaping crew that came through very early (630am), so I would suggest planning something early on the Wednesday morning of your stay. You also have to take the trash to a local transfer station (12 minutes away) if you have a truck it’s no problem, if you have a car or SUV, I would suggest making multiple trips as to not have rotting garbage in your vehicle.
The local beaches are wonderful. Public parking is inexpensive and always available. Bring a pop up canopy or large umbrella there is plenty of room to set up for a long relaxing day on the beach. There are two pools within Hilton Head Plantation for your use, and the owners have taken the care to leave guest passes for your entry. My kids loved the lazy river and splash areas at the “big” pool. The golf is also amazing, my son and i enjoyed a fantastic round on Dolphin Head golf course (5 minutes from the home) inside the plantation as well. If you enjoy a quiet walk through a natural setting, whooping crane preserve is just across from The Rookery. My family also explored by crabbing and dolphin watching on the local waterways. All of our excursions were within 30 minutes of The home. We highly recommend this home, and the owners are very responsive if you need anything at all while at their home.
Location, Location, Location!
This house sits on a peaceful road with a lagoon, very quiet, very nice. Less that 2 blocks away you have everything you could need or want! Very easy drive to the beach. If the weather had been warmer we would have loved to try the new lazy river....which was just down the street. The owners were helpful and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. We are 3 sisters who are also teachers so we can be picky. This house made the top of our list!
Loved it
The house is comfortable, spacious, private and clean. The owner is flexible, friendly and communicates/follows up quickly. We are very pleased and will return and recommend to our friends.
Map
Right outside the door is a network of level bike paths that will take you to the beach, the store, to golf, or just for a forested ride to relax. That's why we've left you 6 bikes!
