We had a wonderful time on Hilton Head for the Spring Break week we were there. The weather was a bit up and down, but to be expected in early April. We were really looking forward to the easy beach access that this house offered and it did not disappoint! The location is phenomenal! You literally walk out the back door to the pool, step past the fence, walk about 30 steps down the path through the small dune/natural habitat to the beach. It couldn't be easier. The view from the family room and deck is absolutely wonderful. The beach and ocean are actually still visible from the ground level pool deck as well. The house is about a minute or two drive from the Coligny Beach area, or a short bike ride. The house is next to a public beach access, but this area of the beach is only utilized by neighbors and isn't crowded at all. No problem at all.

My bone to pick was with the condition of the house. It's sufficient, but don't expect anything above and beyond. It's a 50 year old beach bungalow that looks it's age. Sure, it's been painted several times and the paint looks ok, but the layout and size of rooms reflects it age. Also, the finishes aren't really up to modern standards. The bathrooms need to be updated badly. The kitchen has been updated, but 2 people in the area gets crowded and unfortunately, they put up cabinets the completely block the view of the ocean through the eating area/family room. The claimed sleeping space of up to 12 would be a stretch. We had 5 and a dog and that was about it. You could do 6, maybe even squeeze in 8, but any more than that and you'll be on top of each other in the house.

I will commend Wyndham Vacation Home management on a few things. Extremely nice people. Unfortunately I had to call them a few times. The AC was broken upon arrival. Thank goodness the weather was mild, so it wasn't critical, but they did send a repairman the next day that got us up and running (broken hose/refrigerant leak). The pool heater was not performing as it should either. Prepaid for the heated pool for 5 days and it never got over 79 degrees. Wyndham credited us back. Would've been nice to utilize the pool more as we expected it to be warmer, but 79 is pretty cold - even for our wild kids. I'm happy they were responsive and accommodating.

Overall, the trip was great and the views were amazing to wake up to every morning. The house needs to be updated and ins't spacious enough for 12 people.
