Perfect stay!

Beautiful pool, short walk to the beach, quiet neighborhood, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! This house was perfect for our party of 10 with ages ranging from 1-79. We cooked, we grilled, we used the beach wagon everyday. Comfortable beds, comfortable bedding, a/c worked perfectly. Highly recommend!!!

Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The beach was a short walk away and the pool in the back yard was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Everything we needed or wanted was within a 15 driving distance or less. Owner was quick to respond and very friendly.

Hilton Head Newbies

This was our family’s first time visiting Hilton Head Island, and it definitely will not be the last. The cottage was everything that we had envisioned and much more. The eclectic charm felt like a page featured in Southern Living. The neighborhood is so charming with the mature trees and pathways for our morning walks. We appreciated closing our long days on the surf-side with relaxing evenings poolside. Our host was gracious and very communicative. Definitely a trip we will remember for years to come!

Awesome Beach Cottage

Family vacation in HHI was simply the best in this perfect beach house one block from the Folly Field beach. The house has a beautiful outdoor pool - providing a refreshing swim for all. Host communication was very supportive and helped us with the specifics of the area and nuances with the home. While the house is a little tired, it was very clean and provided our family with a great vacation week in Hilton Head.

We enjoyed our week and would definitely book again. House was very clean and having a pool was definitely a great benefit. It was only a short walk to the beach and appreciated that a wagon and cooler was provided for our use. The beach access is thru a gate with a code for the neighborhood so the beach area is not as crowded as the public beach areas are in July, which was nice. Communication with Megan was very good. Just a note that there is no ice maker but 3 ice cube trays and a bin are provided which worked for us. Photos online accurately show the house and pool area. House is a little dated in some areas, (cabinets in kitchen, some dressers in bedrooms) but it is very clean which was more important to us. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Perfect Location

We were down for our sons wedding at the Westin and the cottage was a perfect homebase for our family to enjoy a week together. The cottage was charming and cozy. It had everything we needed to feel at home. The location to the beach and the pool were an added bonus. We will definitely look to stay here again when we return to Hilton Head!

Wonderful Spring Break

We loved this stay! The pool was amazing and the location can’t be beat. It’s about a 5 min walk to the beach. The beach wasn’t crowded because it’s not in the main hotel areas. My kids loved the local playgrounds. Overall, Hilton Head was great for us!

The perfect home for your family vacation!

We couldn't have been more happy with our stay at the High Tide Cottage. We had five adults and three kids/teens and the home was very spacious and we never felt like we were on top of one another. The kitchen is great and you can have multiple people in there and not be on top of one another. The home is steps away from the beach and the pool was an addition we hadn't had in a vacation home to date that made the getaway even better! Megan was a great host! Easy to communicate with and provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great place, amazing location

My sister and I stayed with our families to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. Steps from the beach, the house was large enough to accommodate all of us with a pool that kept my older kids entertained and a mini bedroom that was perfect for my niece’s crib. Everything was clearly explained, as promised, and super clean, so we didn’t need Megan, but I have no doubt that she would be on top of it if we did. Would highly recommend!

Great location, nice pool

Review:We really enjoyed our stay! The house is great, though it could use a few upgrades. Loved the location—close to shopping and adventure, yet just a short, easy walk to the beach via a wooded trail. The provided beach cart made carrying gear easier. The pool was clean and refreshing, with a convenient outdoor shower to rinse off. The umbrellas looked new, though the outdoor furniture could use an update. There’s a shed with beach gear, but it’s a bit worn—bring your own if you can.Inside, the living room and beds were comfy (bring your own pillows). The kitchen is small, but it worked fine for light meals. The dishwasher is very old and doesn’t clean well. The large dining table was perfect for group meals and game nights—even a jigsaw puzzle wasn’t in the way. :)Our favorite part was being able to bring our dog! Just note the yard is only partially fenced with some broken slats, so it may not contain a crafty adventure-seeker.With only two TVs in the house (living room and master), it was tricky for our group of 7 when we wanted to watch different things. We ended up buying a cheap smart TV for the week. TVs are so affordable now that adding them to the other four bedrooms would be an easy win and a thoughtful touch for guests.Check-in was smooth and there were no issues that required immediate attention. Overall, the location, comfort, dog-friendliness, and overall vibe made it a great beach getaway, and we would rent here again.

Close to Beach

We have made several trips to HHI and stayed in a few different areas so we are not new to renting homes here- Pros- Very close to beach, nice sized pool, air worked well, owner pleasant,easy to work with and is responsive. Cons- older place, smelled like mold, no carpeting or descent throw rug, had to buy my dog a rug to lay on, floors sandy, needs up dating and painting, furniture uncomfortable to sit on, could have been much cleaner, pool could have been cleaner even after pool it was serviced, no grass for dog to do business on all shells and rocks, not sure why the high pet fee is charged for, as there is nothing to damage.

My husband and I and our family have been coming to Hilton Head Island for many years. We both grew up in Columbus, OH, and are big Buckeye fans!

I hope to maintain the quality and charm in this unique, early Folly Field home.
