The property was exactly as described and the host was fantastic with communication. We paid to have the pool heated, and are so glad we did! It was the perfect way to start and end the day. Proximity to the beach access couldn’t be much better, and stores and restaurants are a short drive.

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.

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.

Thank you for your review. The cottage was needing TLC when we purchased and we have made improvements every year for the past 5 years and we continue to have plans for the future. Also, it is a cottage and we would like to keep that feeling.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

I am so sorry that the cottage had not been cleaned thoroughly to your satisfaction. I always ask our cleaning service to call me if something extra needs attention which they did not. I also ask my renters to do the same thing! We would have had someone out to re-clean it for you! We will make sure these concerns are taken care of for our next renter. I hope otherwise that you enjoyed your stay at High Tide Cottage!

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.

We are perplexed! New furniture, new painting, new floors in the past year and ongoing improvements this year. We were never contacted by this guest despite being nearby and a phone, text and email away!!! Half of our guests are repeat renters over an eleven year period. and our rentals have increased each year. Our Thanksgiving guests just departed and left us rave reviews !!!! We wish this renter could have found the enjoyment in HighTide Cottage that all our other guests have experienced.

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! We still live in the central Ohio area and are both retired. We came to love High Tide Cottage as we were repeat renters. I hope to maintain the quality and charm in this unique, early Folly Field home.
