We were a party of 6 (two adults and four kids between the ages of 7 and 13) staying at this property March 10-13, 2020 and all of our expectations were surpassed! I am big into researching and reading each review before I book a place to stay and have had some not-so-great experiences--this was not one of them!
From the moment we walked in, the cleanliness and friendliness of the property was evident. The house was homey without being cluttered, nice without being so nice I was afraid of my kids breaking something. :) There was plenty of room for us to sleep (one of the adults slept in one of the twin beds and found it not so comfortable, but my 13-year old had no problem with it and the master was great!) and everything was well-appointed. We loved sitting out on the screened veranda each night. The one drawback for us was in the kitchen supplies. Since we did end up cooking more at the house, it would have been nice to be provided with a few more of the basic spices and pantry staples, but this was a small complaint in an otherwise excellent experience.
The location of the property was fantastic. The walk to the beach was truly about five minutes--a walk around the complex, crossing the street, and an intriguing trail through the woods. And it is so worth it--the trail opens up to the most beautiful, Nicholas Sparks-ish beach I have ever seen! My mom and I are not great walkers, but found this walk very doable! We much preferred this beach to Coligny due to its beauty and low-key atmosphere. It was busy without being crowded and off-the-beaten path without feeling secluded at all.
My kids also loved just playing in the front of the condo. We rented bikes (HIGHLY recommend doing this and Island Life bike rentals were AWESOME!) and they would just ride their bikes around the not-busy parking lot any chance they got.
Communication with Ashley was fantastic! She responded promptly each time and was always friendly, helpful, and attentive.
Overall, this was intended to be a restful three-night stay for our first time on Hilton Head island and everything about this property made it exactly that! The descriptions were accurate (surprisingly better than the pictures), the bathrooms were clean (a big deal to me!), the location was perfect, and the owner was a joy to work with! We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks, Ashley!
