Dustin and Michelle's property in Hilton Head made for the best vacation we have ever had. The home is close to the beach, has a great pool and hot tub, and generous bed/bath accomodations. We especially appreciated the supply of cookware, as we did not eat out and enjoyed cooking in the home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Great house, super location, central to everything on the island. we had 5 families - our children, plus spouses and 8 grandchildren under 7. Everything worked out super!

Beautiful home! Excellent Location!
This spotless, beautiful home is located about a block from Burkes Beach. Our grandkids loved the heated pool and adults enjoyed the hot tub. Quiet neighborhood with a park a few steps away. The owners are very friendly and excellent to work with! I will be recommending Hilton Head, Burkes Beach, and this home to my friends!! (And it comes with everything you need for the beach…wagons, chairs, towels)!

Beautiful Week in a Beautiful Home
Home is equipped with everything you can ask for and is located in a beautiful area near Burke’s Beach and walking trails. Although we had 12 people staying in the home it never felt crowded. Elevator was an extra bonus as we had some elderly family with us.
Wow, what a great place. The communication was fantastic from booking through check-out. What a great place. The location is perfect and the amenities in the house were awesome. You don't need to bring anything, even beach things! Great sized house for hosting friends AND family! Would highly recommend!!
We had an incredible time staying at this house. It was exactly as advertised! Everything was clean and updated. We were just steps from the beach. Everyone fit with plenty of room! Would highly recommend this location and owners were fantastic!

Spacious, tastefully decorated haven
Michelle and Dustin’s house is a wonderfully equipped and luxurious place to unwind. I rented this home for a girls’ weekend, and everyone remarked on the beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds, inviting kitchen/dining/living room, and delightful hot tub. The location is so serene, being only steps from Burkes Beach and one of Hilton Head’s finest community parks. Definitely consider this house as a wonderful alternative to oceanfront accommodations.
We would highly recommend this wonderful property. It was exactly as described and easily accommodated our large group. The owners were very responsive and fixed the one problem we had in avery timely matter. High end appliances and cookware were wonderful. The kids loved the indoor and out door games.
We were an older group 60 and above. Siblings getting together with Thier 86 year old mom. The elevator in the home made it possible for her to enjoy herself confidently. So close to the beach. Great home!

Sharon, thank you for the kind review. You guys were great guests.
We were 13 family members spending our annual beach week together. We choose a different beach each year and span 4 generations.
This house was fantastic and newly renovated. Short walk to beautiful Hilton Head beach. I would definitely recommend this property. Loved all the pool and beach toys plus chairs and buggies being available. We brought electric scooters and these were a huge hit around the greenways of Hilton Head.

About the host
Hosted by Dustin Kennedy
Dustin & Michelle Kennedy are South Carolina residents who have loved to vacation in Hilton Head for many years. They bought their first vacation rental in Hilton Head in 2020 and love the area so much they decided to buy another one here at Sandy Beach Trail! After spending months renovating the home from head to toe and bringing it back to life, they are now proudly offering this beauty on the rental market. Having younger kids, they love that it has a pool and hot tub and is so close to the beach. Dustin & Michelle love entertaining friends and family members and making many great memories at Sandy Beach Retreat.
Why they chose this property
Dustin & Michelle purchased this home because of the proximity to the beach and the entertainment capabilities. Having 7 bedrooms allows us to invite family and friends to the home and everyone have plenty of room. The pool and hot tub were definitely a plus. The proximity to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping added to this property's desire. They always say "the worst part is always leaving because we love it so much!"
What makes this property unique
This home features a standard sized elevator so that you can easily access anywhere in the home without having to travel up stairs. This home also is the only home on the block with a waterfall that flows into the pool.
