We loved our stay here. It was immaculate, spacious, very comfortable, and fun for the whole family. Kirsten was a great host and the home was well-equipped with everything we were locking for. Very convenient location to both downtown Bluffton and the Montage where our wedding was. We would definitely like to come back and stay here again!

The hostess was very accommodating. We had no issues that needed addressed. It is a beautiful house and location. The game room is fantastic. The back yard is beautiful. It was a great stay. We have done this often and this house is, by far, the BEST! Hostess and property.Thanks so much.

The property was clean and beautifully appointed. Check in was excellent.I think it would have been a good idea to mention in the description that the master was up stairs. Also, there were no wash cloths.The location was great and easy to find. One other small item… all of the toilets were low. That’s not a problem for children, but a bit uncomfortable for adults.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your feedback, we really appreciate it! Great call on the master bedroom being upstairs, we’ll update the listing to make that clearer. We do provide washcloths, so it sounds like our cleaner may have missed those and we’ll address it. The toilets are standard height, but we appreciate you sharing that as well. Thanks again for being a great guest, we’d love to host you again!

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Hunter Peterson

Host profile image
Hi, we're Kirsten and Joe!

We're based in the Boston area and fell in love with Bluffton's charm, sense of community, and relaxed Lowcountry lifestyle. We created The Bluffton Tides as a place where families and friends can gather, slow down, and make lasting memories together.

We take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and welcoming home, and we're always happy to help guests make the most of their stay. We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We chose Bluffton Park because it offers the perfect blend of convenience and Lowcountry charm. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and family-friendly, with easy access to Old Town Bluffton's restaurants, shops, parks, and waterfront views.

What we love most is being close to everything while still enjoying a peaceful neighborhood setting. Whether you're visiting for a family vacation, golf getaway, wedding weekend, or a relaxing escape, Bluffton Park is a great home base for exploring the Lowcountry.

What makes this property unique

What makes The Bluffton Tides special is the balance of space, location, and opportunities to spend quality time together.

With five bedrooms, inviting gathering spaces, a family-friendly game room, and a backyard designed for relaxing evenings around the fire pit, the home was thoughtfully set up for families and friends to reconnect and make lasting memories. Combined with our location just minutes from Old Town Bluffton and a short drive to Hilton Head, it offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and Lowcountry charm.
