Great house for family gathering. Close to beach.
Very clean home and close to the beach. Roomy and highly recommend. Used to visit HHI years ago and it’s good to see not much has changed in Sea Pines.
Size and layout was great. Could use updating. Dissatisfied with the overall cleanliness of the house. Had to vacuum up bugs from floors and bathrooms, and killed mosquitoes inside the house during our entire stay! Pool was nice, and water temperature was great! Proximity to beach and Southbeach was also great.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the home’s layout, pool, and convenient location near the beach and Salty Dog - one of our favorite areas on the Island, too.
We apologize for the issues you encountered and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. The home is treated regularly for pests, though the heavy rainfall this season has made keeping up with mosquitoes and other bugs more challenging than usual (it’s the most rain we’ve seen in quite some time down here!). We’ll also continue working with the homeowners on updates and improvements to enhance the guest experience.
We truly appreciate your input and hope you’ll visit again on a future Hilton Head Island getaway.

Bad storm knocked out wi-fi and cable....very good communication and had it back up by evening.........a couple ceiling fans in bedrooms could use a little update......
Very comfortable home for our group of 7 adults. So close to the beach. And even easier walk to South Beach tennis, shops and restaurants. Bike rental credit was an unexpected bonus!
Perfect Hilton Head Location with room for kids and parents
House is lovely with a great kitchen. The set up is perfect to let kids have their own space- bedrooms upstairs and a separate family room. It’s a short walk to the beach or to The Salty Dog for a bite/drink/treat. Tons of shady paths for walking or biking. This trip was easier and more relaxing than I could have dreamed!!
Beautiful Sea Pines Beach House Perfect for Families
We loved our stay for spring break - this house is super close to the beach (right off #11 path and just second house in) plus to Salty Dog and Jake's Pizza (our kids favorite places to eat in HHI). The house is well appointed and laid out - perfect for a combined group of families and kids of various ages. We loved the heated pool, separate family room area and kids rooms upstairs! The hosts were super responsive to a pool cleaning issue and very welcoming. We look forward to a return stay!!

Reviewer Comments:
Nice place but a few things. Outside of the main sliding door out to the pool, a drain was backed up and flooded the whole are making it impossible to walk outside without being in ankle deep gross water. I emailed and sent pics the first day and no one came out to assess. Also- I don’t feel as though it was cleaned up to standards.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the spacious layout of the home and the close proximity to the beach. We’re truly sorry to hear about the drainage issue near the sliding door during your stay. We have since sent a professional vendor out to assess the situation and clear the drain via pump and have been seeing success since.
We also appreciate your comments about the cleaning standards and have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team to ensure it’s addressed moving forward. Your input helps us improve, and we’re committed to providing a great experience for all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review your recent stay, so sorry you experienced those issues while you were here! Since your review, the stove has been completely replaced - so there is a brand new one there now working great. We also have a maintenance technician looking into the exterior drain. We hope you enjoyed your time and the Island and hope to see you back for a future HHI beach vacation!

Coastal Home & Villa were very accommodating and responded to any issues we had promptly. They even had a man help us unload our fully packed van. Two things come to mind regarding the house. Of the 3 toilets on the main floor, only the master bathroom had a low toilet that is hard for elderly people to use. I would recommend updating that. Also, the refrigerator was missing some shelves in the both the fridge and freezer.

Reviewer Comments:
This is our second time staying in this house because our experience last year was so great. The house, particularly the kitchen, is very well stocked. Pool is warm without extra fees and great for kids. We had another great stay this year however I did find changes in the beach a little disappointing. There has been erosion from recent storms on South Beach so there is very little beach the several hours before and after high tide. This limited the amount of time we could be on the beach without driving to a different public beach on the island. Additionally, the ramp of the boardwalk to the beach broke off so you have to jump 2.5 feet from the end of the boardwalk to the beach which made it difficult for wagons and kids and grandparents. This is no fault of the rental company. Just fyi for renters.

Great location. Cooling system uneven throughout the house. Older bathroom downstairs is a problem. Shower curtain blows all over the place. Didn’t use it.Not enough refrigeration space for a 5 bedroom house. Trash cans in kitchen are too small for a 5 bedroom home. When you have that many people, the kitchen is not functional. Overall it was a good house.
