Guest Access:
We want your stay to be all about the memories - not the paperwork. So let's get the small stuff out of the way early and get back to what matters: your trip!
Every reservation is required to complete a quick Guest Portal before check-in. It's a secure external link we'll send you shortly after booking, and it's also where you'll find all your check-in details - including your all-important door code.
The pre-approval process takes just a few minutes and covers three simple steps:
1. Sign the Rental Agreement - a quick electronic signature, no printing required.
2. Guest verification - a fast, standard guest verification.
3. Pick your coverage: Damage Waiver (a small, non-refundable fee covering eligible accidental damage during your stay - our guests' favorite option, since it takes the stress out of minor mishaps) or Security Deposit (a fully refundable hold, released after checkout as long as everything's in order).
We'll email your secure portal link before arrival - just a few minutes of your time for a much smoother check-in. Thanks for helping us keep things safe and simple. We can't wait to host you!
The Neighborhood:
Sea Pines has a variety of family and individual activities including natural beaches, championship golf, tennis, biking trails and so much more.
Getting Around:
Biking is very popular on Hilton Head Island, known for the many award-winning trails. There are recommendations for bike rental companies within your Guest App. You can reserve in advance and they will deliver to you or bring your own! Almost everything you will need is within walking distance, so bring your walking shoes! Sea Pines provides a complimentary seasonal trolley service that helps guests and residents travel around the resort without using a car. The trolley connects major destinations such as Harbour Town, the Sea Pines Beach Club, South Beach Marina, and The Shops at Sea Pines Center, making it easy to access beaches, dining, and shopping throughout the community.

Great spot that we enjoyed. Only complaint is that the TV in the living area needs to be on a pivot mount so it can be adjusted to face the seating area.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your suggestion about the TV mount. We’ll be sure to share this with our team for consideration. Hope to host you again soon!

The property had lots of what you want in a vacation spot: proximity to eateries and a beach, clean and orderly, and outdoor space to lounge. I’d definitely rent this location again!

Brian, thank you for this 5* review of 1653 Bluff Villa! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again, Susan at host2coast
Check in process and getting parking pass was simple, and everything was as advertised no surprises whatsoever, loved how quiet and secluded location was unlike Coligny Beach which is where you want to go if you want chaos and crowded beach. Super clean place, with even a guest bag and a nice welcome card. Wonderful place to stay would love to return again!

The condo is fabulous, even better in person! Extremely clean and very well stocked! Great location. We have been coming to HH for 35 years, this is probably one of my favorite places we have stayed. Great for a couple or a single person. We will definitely be staying there again next year!

The villa was as advertised. We felt very comfortable staying here. Short bike ride to beach #16 in the morning and a very short walk to South Beach in the evening to watch the sunset. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and pickleball courts. Villa was very clean. We would stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We loved our stay at this condo! It’s easily walkable to both the Atlantic Ocean waves and the Calibogue Sound. We loved watching the dolphins swim by! The condo was quiet and the area peaceful. The condo had everything we needed. My only complaint was the bed. It was too firm, and I slept on the sofa instead several nights, as a result, but that’s really personal preference.

Bamboo has taken over the beach area
The beach and water was nasty. They need to clean up all the bamboo, it has taken over the beach area. We could not go out on the beach at high tide for all the bugs in the bamboo.

Reviewer Comments:
Our place was clean and welcoming. The ladies from the rental agency were helpful and kind. We were hesitant being so close to such a popular tourist area, but we actually enjoyed being near The Salty Dog. We did have to walk a little ways down the beach to get to the ocean waves, but it was okay.
States its a first floor unit. It is technically. Seven steps up to landing, then four steps down to hall. 70 year old me did not enjoy those 11 brick steps.

Maureen,
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the stairs caused you difficulty during your stay. We do try to make it clear that these villas involve steps, and we have the following written in the villa description: "1653 Bluff Villa is located in Building 6, 1st Floor, Stairwell A. PLEASE NOTE: There are exterior steps in all Bluff Villa buildings to access ALL floors including first floor villas."
We hope you will give us another chance and stay with us again so we can find a villa that fits all of your needs.
Regards,
Kristen with host2coast
The condo was very clean and updated.We were very pleased! We were steps away- just across the parking lot from Salty Dog Cafe. The host was very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent this property again in the near future.

This is the best location for a family vacation getaway! Our rental unit was clean and cozy. We were greated with a generous gift and kind note. This management company is very professional and friendly! The kitchen is well equipped. The bed was comfortable. Nice outdoor patio for eating breakfast or just reading a book. Our location was fantastic! We were close to the beach entrance and to the Salty Dog and shopping! This is our third year renting here and we love it!
