9 Brigantine - Second Row 8 BR / 8 BA Steps from the Beach

The house was adequate and had most things we needed for a great vacation. Overall, it is quite dated and could use some good TLC, updating and cleaning. We had several service calls during our stay for basic things that I didn’t expect to go wrong with what we paid for this rental. Garbage disposal didn’t work and then leaked all over. Several smoke detectors either missing or started “chirping” in the middle of the night. One was lying on the living room table when we arrived. If you have teens, I wouldn’t recommend staying here. There isn’t a great area for them to congregate and “hang out”. Although there could be if the owner fixed up the basement/garage/outdoor bar area. That space was filthy and had rusty nails lying around as well as half empty paint cans. It was almost like they weren’t expecting renters?

The outdoor upper deck needs replacing. Nail pops all over the place and catching your toes on those was not fun! The front porch has 2 cute rockers and a table but they were all so dirty that you couldn’t sit on them. Needed a good power washing.

The pool was nice and good sized for the kids. But the hot tub or “spa” was non functional. Unfortunately we were not made aware of that until after we booked and obtained our arrival instructions.

The 2nd fridge was a great bonus, but didn’t work well and the front panel was broken. I have also never been to a rental home that didn’t have basic spices, salt/pepper, cooking oils. Previous renters always seem to leave those behind. As well as pool toys, beach toys, beach chairs. None of these were available for use.

The house is an excellent location and great proximity to the beach. As long as you know what you’re getting, you won’t be disappointed.

Having been Sea Pines renters for many years we decided this year to try Palmetto Dunes for a change. I don't think we are going back to Sea Pines. The location of this house to the beach, golf, tennis, airport and shopping (Kroger's especially) is great. We always have a large group of two family's, of business partners, all their kid's and of course the many grandkids. The house worked out great with 4 master suites as well as 4 other rooms that fit our needs. After a great day at the beach the pool was always refreshing as the surrounding trees gave great shade for a break from the sun.. Because with a large group we do not want to be waiting all night for our food we love to cook in and have each family take a different night to cook. The kitchen is great and had everything we needed to cook a great variety of dishes each night. It has two of everything, dishwasher, refrigerator, trash cans, coffee makers, etc.. And when it came time to eat the long 12' plus picnic table on the screened in porch was just the place to gather everyone to eat and talk about the days events or after dinner play a game or two. Tom and his property manager Steve were very responsive to our needs for the small things or questions that came up during our stay. There was nothing they didn't address to our satisfaction. So if your looking for a great place to spend some time on Hilton Head Island this is the place.. Will definitely go back as long as we don't out grow it with more grandkids.

Excellent.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 9 Brigantine. The light, location, size, and layout were all perfect for our group of 9. We all felt like we had plenty of space but it is also not so large that you lose any sense of togetherness. Really liked having two dishwashers. Only comments for improvement: an upgrade of the mattresses and towels would be welcome. I would still give this property an A.
