9 Guscio Way is an amazing property. From booking to departing, Island Time made this an extraordinary experience. There was not one complaint from any of our 14 guests. Brenda was awesome!!! And Vivian was on top of it all. Both of these ladies took care of all questions and made our stay enjoyable. I highly suggest this home and to book directly with Island Time. The location to the beach and the layout of the home were perfect for getaway. I would rebook this home or any other Hilton Head managed by Island Time.

Overall, we enjoyed our experience. This was our first big family vacation, and this home offered a perfect location for both adults and kids. A couple of issues with the home were handled by the management company. These took away from our experience a bit but overall would recommend this home!
My family and I have been visiting HHI for over 40 years and this house has by far been the best house we’ve stayed in. The property manager was attentive and helpful. The house was clean and exactly as described. We will be booking again.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Mike. We appreciate your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your getaway with us. We look forward to seeing you again.
We have been vacationing on HHI for 20+ years. We now have 4 generations. This house provided everything we needed, beach access, roomy great room, and plenty of room for everyone. We have already booked for next year. I could not have asked for more in a beach house. Thanks so much for sharing your property.
The property is beautiful and it was clean. We were well situated and loved being at the end of the street. Originally, we were informed there was no elevator there. But, thankfully that was wrong info, which helped greatly as we loaded items in and out.
The coffee maker killed over on the 2nd day, but everyone was rescued by a trip to Dunkin.
We would gladly stay there again for our Executive Team meetings.

We highly recommend 9 Guscio! The house is beautiful, recently renovated, and well stocked! The few minor issues we had were quickly resolved! Brenda Stone was wonderful to work with! We are renting through Island Time Hilton Head again for next year! Again, we have had the expertise of Brenda to choose the best house for our annual family Hilton Head vacation!

We truly appreciate the kind words Bonnie and are thrilled that it all worked out for you and that you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope to have you back to the beach again soon!
Overall a great long weekend at this home at the beach. The view and location were first rate, all the travelers really enjoyed it. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We cooked a few meals while the 9 of us were here, and the kitchen is big and roomy and lots of folks can work at the same time. Overall a great time.
A few small things - the appliances are showing some age - the icemaker in the kitchen fridge doesn't work and the heating elements on the stove are slow. There are a few small signs of wear on carpets and furniture - and a little cleaning could go a long way - but those are small nitpicky things.
Was a really fun time at a great location.

This home and location were perfect for our family of 15. Everyone had their own bedrooms & bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked very well. Seating room for all 15 eating was great. Having the extra kitchen on 3rd floor provided snacks and an extra refrigerator for those using that space. The three refrigerators were wonderful along with 2 washers and dryers. Having a very nice pool with lots of seating and table along with such easy access for the beach provided a great deal of outdoor fun. All the balconies with nice chairs was a bonus. It would have been nice to have the elevator working for taking suitcases in/out, however an effort was made to fix it while we were there but it needed parts. Island Time Rentals were so easy to work with during the planning process. The were very responsive with phone calls and Brenda answered all our questions. We enjoyed the privacy of our location. Overall it could not have been a better family vacation. We have a lifetime of great memories!!
