About this property

Sandpiper by AvantStay | Historic, Character Filled Beach House

Welcome to Sandpiper, an AvantStay home!

Perfection doesn’t exist but this home is as close as it gets. Situated just steps from the beach and surrounded by trees for extra privacy, this idyllic beach house invites you for a warm getaway with your favorite people. Inside, you’ll find soft interiors, painted wood walls, and something charming in every corner: a dainty spiral staircase, a surfboard on the wall, an old-fashioned kitchen and fireplace, and a light-filled sunroom with a foosball table. Outside is just as picturesque with scallop-trimmed umbrellas, a hammock for reading, and a dining area with BBQ grill. A Primary Bedroom leads to a private balcony with rocking chairs and 3 additional bright and airy bedrooms provide ample space for rest and relaxation after a long day in the sun. It’s hard not to feel rejuvenated when you’re falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves!
​​​​​​​
Drawing lovers of the beach, ice cream, golf, and all things quintessentially American, Hilton Head is a lowcountry gem that has a distinct cultural, scenic, and culinary presence.

Hidden older gem

We really enjoyed our first time visiting Hilton Head Island and this older home was a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful beach houses some still being constructed. If you enjoy older homes would definitely recommend place. The views and beach were beautiful and there was shopping and restaurants within fifteen minutes walking distance. The only drawback was the traffic mainly getting there on Saturday but that should be expected. We loved our stay there.

Another wonderful week at Sandpiper

This is our second time to stay at Sandpiper. We have been to HHI many times, and this is one of our favorite houses. We had a group of 7, and the home fit us perfectly. The 3 kids loved having the downstairs to themselves! The upstairs is roomy and feels like a beach cottage. The screened in porch is the perfect place to relax. It has great beach access and the beach area is not too crowded. We enjoyed are stay and would recommend this cozy house!

Exactly What We Needed!

This house and location was PERFECT for our vacation. We enjoyed grilling out a few evenings in the privacy of the spacious back yard. It is conveniently located close to everything, but just outside of the congested areas. The beach was almost like having our on private section. We will definitely rent it again. I included a picture of our morning view from the porch where we drank coffee everyday and enjoyed the sounds of the waves crashing at high tide.

Perfect Family Beach Stay

This was a great beach house for family and friends just wanting to relax and cook and hang out in a casual setting. With a private path right to the beach, you can't beat it. Beautiful ocean view, nice porch, games at the ready, comfortable beds - our group loved every second!

A Simple Place for A Getaway

Overall, this was a nice getaway for my entire, small family. The beach lookout is gorgeous and how lovely it was to just go out and walk to the beach within seconds. The home we stayed at was overall clean. One can tell it’s not a modernized building and was aged; however, it was a place that we all enjoyed staying at and had no issues whatsoever.

Really enjoyed our stay

Ideal location. Quiet area of the beach just steps from back door. .6 miles to all the shops and eateries at Coligny and golf is everywhere! Rode our bikes everywhere on the bike trails. 7 of us stayed very comfortably for the week. Comfortable beds and although not the newest or fanciest house, has lot of character and everything was very clean. Screened porch was nice and kitchen well stocked w/ everything you need to cook efficiently. Nice grill as well as well as games, puzzles, beach chairs, cooler, etc, provided! Will definitely stay again.
