Perfect Vacation Home!

Absolute Beachy was the perfect vacation home for our party of 9! The home includes all the amenities of home! There was an abundance of pool and beach toys which were a huge hit with our 5 kids. The private pool was a must with the August heat and you cannot beat the location and close proximity to shopping, restaurants and especially the beach. The listing was spot on with details about the home. Danette was very helpful prior to and during our trip with recommendations for golf, restaurants and dishing charters as well as answers to our questions during our stay. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our return!

Perfect getaway with family and friends

This property was perfect in every way! You cannot beat the location of this home, it is close to the beach and town. My teenagers loved being able to bike ride to the stores and beach and have the freedom to go on their own. I loved the peaceful, family friendly vibe of the area, it was just what we needed. Our group celebrated Easter and one of friends son's 16th birthday while we were there and none of us wanted to leave. Even looked into buying our own beach house. 100% satisfied and would stay here again.

Nice House in N Forest Beach

This house has a great location just a couple minute walk to the beach and 5 minute walk to Coligny. Nice pool and outdoor eating area. Had the best stock of pool and beach toys of any beach house we've ever rented. Nicely stocked kitchen as well. Mattresses were quite comfortable and not old and saggy like so many other rental houses. Had an issue with the pool heater but the owner was easy to communicate with. Couple of the Roku TVs didn't work but that's only a minor inconvenience. Overall a great property with responsive owners. Would stay here again.

Great Family Vacation Home in Hilton Head - Close to Beach w/ Private Pool!

Our family enjoyed an amazing week thanks to this house. The layout was perfect for our family (three kids ages 2, 6, & 8, plus me and my wife) and the open kitchen and family room was great for congregating. The house was very well outfitted, from the kitchen (all the amenities you'd need, even a large pot for crab boil!) to the pool shed which included beach chairs (the good Tommy Bahama kind, plus ones for the kids), a beach wagon, two bikes, umbrella, boogie boards, bocce, and then floats and stuff for the pool. And oh the pool! It is private and large enough for our big kids to splash around. Has a large table for eating and comfy chairs for lounging, with plenty of room to spread out and shaded areas to get out of the sun. The house is on the beach side, just steps from the beach access. It is on the corner of N Forest Beach, which by HH standards can be a bit busy, but it was not an issue for us because the backyard was fenced in and plenty of trees, it was hardly noticeable. It also puts you within walking distance to Coligny Plaza which has restaurants, ice cream shops, shopping and even the Piggly Wiggly. I was able to ride my bike to run errands, pick up dinner, etc - which was awesome! The beach was excellent. It's far enough down from the Coligny Beach park where you don't have to deal with the public access crowd, so we never had any issues getting a good spot and never felt crowded. Danette was amazing. She answered all our questions. Each room has Roku, so you can still watch all your streaming shows (provided you have your own accounts), and the internet was stable and reliable. I don't have any complaints whatsoever and would 100% recommend this house to anyone, especially families, for a great island getaway. We look forward to returning in future summers!

Great Beach House for Our Family

This was a great home for our family (two adults, two kids). Our needs were simple - 1) walking distance to the beach, 2) walking distance to Coligny Square, 3) a pool, 4) a stand alone house, not a condo or townhome - and this house fit them all perfectly. This part of HHI has numerous very large (and very expensive) homes on VRBO that were way too big for our needs, and some homes that seemed very old/outdated, this one was right in the middle. The house does show its age in some spots (small'ish bedrooms/baths, some evidence of past roof leaks on the ceilings), but those were very minor given the overall benefits of the home and location. Loved the pool, tons of fun for the kids and it got plenty of afternoon sun despite being surrounded by trees and neighboring homes. Very large front porch which was perfect for morning coffee or rainy afternoons. Large family room and open kitchen (totally made up for the smaller bedrooms). The fridge seemed new and the washer/dryer were newer models that worked very well. While an older home, it shows better in person than the VRBO photos, in my opinion. It seemed like the exterior had recently been painted and the deck/porches recently stained. A minor observation was car noise from North Forest Drive, but it's a trade off - can't have a great location without being close to the main road. House was very well-stocked with everything you'd need in the kitchen as well as beach chairs and such. Owner was welcoming and quick with communications. Really could not have asked for more from a beach house for a week at the beach. Very high marks for charm and relaxation.

Our Favorite Beach House

To our family, this “beach house” is Hilton Head. This lovely cottage has been our family's home away from home for the last 10 years. It is beautifully decorated, clean and full of little extras to make your stay very special and comfortable. We especially love the large front porch (with rocking chairs), open and airy family room, large and spacious bedrooms and beautiful pool. The loft is a favorite place for our grandchildren to play games, listen to music and talk; it’s their little secret hide away! Since we cook in a lot, we appreciate the large and well appointed kitchen. Surrounded by bike trails, the beach just steps from the front porch and Coligny Plaza (with quaint shops and wonderful restaurants) a short walk away, this home is “heaven!” We can’t wait to come back, and plan on returning for years to come!

A great week with the girls!!!

WOW This home was amazing. I came for a week with the girls. This home is so close to the beach and everything else you may want to do on vacation. After a day out you come back to a home that is quite and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The layout allows multiple activities to go on at the same time and allows for privacy as well. The pool is beautiful serene and private. The front porch is expansive a great place to nap in the hammock,read,drink and enjoy being outside. I couldn't have asked for a better home.

An Amazing Beach House - Right Where You Want To Be!

This beautiful home has been a personal favorite getaway for years. I am fortunate enough to have visited many times with family and friends and feel like I'm coming "home" every time I return. There is really nothing left to chance-all the right details have been attended to and upon every visit, it's obvious that something on the property (inside and outside) has been updated and improved. Being just steps away from the beautiful beach (down a tree-canopied "path/drive") as well as being close to Coligny Plaza (a great shopping and dining area that feels like a village), the location is great. The island bike path is also close by and is so fun. This is a true beach house, make no mistake. It's plenty roomy, has a great pool, terrace, yard and porches - and is well appointed for a big family (or group). The bonus is that while it accommodates a big group, it's not off-putting or intimidating (in scale) if you're looking for a comfortable, fun spot for a smaller group (girls weekend or golf outing). I love this bright and airy home. I'm fortunate enough to know several other guests who make this their vacation tradition, and we all agree it's our favorite spot, year after year.

Fantastic family home away from home

We have rented several homes at the beach and in the mountains. This home was the best of all of them. One of the things that impressed me was the attention to detail. The Bosses have gone out of their way to make sure everyone's stay is comfortable. We had a couple of very minor issues that were solved immediately by the owners. Anyone with a family considering a trip to HHI should definitely try this place. Ten of us were very comfortable for the week. The close proximity to the beach and Coligny was definitely a plus. I hope we can stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Danette Miller

Host profile image
We rented this property for over 20 years before purchasing our dream beach home. Our children have many fond memories shared with friends and family in this home. Now, we bring our grandchildren here! It's the perfect family get away. Within walking distance of the beach (5 houses away), shopping and restaurants. You will love it! When not working our full-time careers, we enjoy spending time with our family and friends. Our goal is to make your stay at our house as enjoyable as possible so that you will want to return year after year. We hope you enjoy your time here!

Why they chose this property

Before we purchased this home, we vacationed in N Forest Beach area for over 20 years. We returned every year and kept renting the same property because of the location to the beach, bike path, shopping, and restaurants. We are grateful to own this gem. We love this house and location and hope after you have visited with us that you will feel the same way.

What makes this property unique

The location and layout of our house is what drew us to this property. With your own house and pool you have the privacy of your own yard, yet it is only a one minute walk to the uncrowded beach. Coligny Shopping area is only a 5 minute walk. Our location allows many of our guests to park their car the entire week and either walk or bike to everywhere they need to go. Many of our guests return year after year.
