Beautiful house with a great location. Family enjoyed everything
It was a perfect location to vacation with our grown children and young grandchildren. Beautiful beach very close by. 5 comfortable bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Wonderful pool. Great access to bike trails
House was amazing. Great location and pool! Loved all the covered areas outside by the pool. A lot of space for everyone to spread out. Would definitely stay here again! Loved the short walk to the beach!
Beautiful property and excellent location. Some maintenance issues but overall an awesome stay.

We rented this house three years ago and it was perfect for our family of kids/grandkids from 3 states. Well organized kitchen, very clean house. Pool & hot tub perfect and the beach a 2 minute walk on a private path. Beach was gorgeous and not at all crowded. Screened in porch an advantage. Plenty of room for everyone in the living room/dining/kitchen open area. Comfy beds and furniture. Everyone enjoyed the house!

The location of this property is perfect - 3rd-row ocean, short walk to the beach, not too far from Dunes House, but far enough away from the crowds, short walk to tennis and the General Store. Inside the house is a beautiful renovation. The management company is the best I've dealt with.
Nice home, easy to live in, and comfortable. A list of details might help....trash days, how to use the master shower, TV set up, etc

Since your departure, we have updated the guest mobile app all of our guests have access to - it now includes how to use the master bathroom shower & TV instructions. The specific trash days/location are listed in the guest mobile app and we also added a sign in the home with that information. Thank you again for your review and we hope to see you again on a future HHI beach vacation!

This house was just perfect for our stay on Hilton Head Island! It was so easy to access the gorgeous beach and the neighborhood offered lots of sidewalks for walking as well. The house was spotless, well-decorated, the beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of updated and beautiful bathrooms, and the kitchen had everything needed to cook and bake. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children (ranging in ages from 3-15) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 48 Mooring Buoy! The layout of the home was perfect for us, clean, well maintained, and kid friendly. The property description is very accurate and the only amenities our family could have used more of were forks and knives because we love to stay on the property for meals most days. The property manager was also very quick to solve any issues we had. The outdoor pool and spa area is great (we did pay extra for heat in the spa), and the short walk to the beach make it an excellent location. We rented bikes which were also a big hit with the whole family. We would definitely stay here again!
Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2023
Yay - we love that y'all had such a great time & enjoyed your vacation! Thank you so much for leaving a five star review and also providing feedback about the silverware. We purchased a brand new full set of silverware for the home and will be delivering that this coming Saturday. Thank you again & we hope to see you back for a future HHI beach vacation!
Our family had a great experience with this property. Proximity to the beach was important, and did not disappoint. This house has been well maintained, and possesses high-quality furnishings. Plenty of king size beds that were firmly comfortable. Air conditioning was perfect for the main floor as well as the one room that is ground level. The pool is in great shape. However there is no safety restraint that would prohibit a toddler getting out the back door and having immediate access to the pool. The kitchen was modestly supplied with cookware, and if you need more than a half a teaspoon for your measuring bring your own. Having access to a garage was bonus material for storing bikes and beach gear.
Overall, for a group of 14 there was ample space to spread out and gather.

48 Mooring Buoy was the perfect property for our family trip to Hilton Head. We were a group of 12 people (five families) and this house couldn't have been more ideal. The property description is very accurate, and the location CANNOT be beat! The house is situated right next to a beach access path and is a very short walk from the beach- doable for even the two-year-old in our group. It was windy for a portion of our trip, which eliminated the beach as an option. We were so thankful to have a private pool and the trees surrounding the house provided protection from the wind. The house was clean and well-maintained. It is an older home, but recent renovations provide a modern look and feel. Coastal Home & Villa provided excellent customer service; they ensured we had everything we needed every step of the way. I highly recommend this property and would definitely rent from Coastal Home & Villa again in the future.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at 48 Mooring Buoy over the Fourth of July, bringing together 4 kids ranging from 2-9 and 6 adults. The house is very well set up for a family. The pool was wonderful and included stairs that worked very well for the younger (and older) members of the family. The beach is much closer than we expected down a lovely trail, and the neighborhood had great running/walking trails that everyone enjoyed. The property management company made everything easy and was extremely responsive (although we really didn't need anything). The only suggestion would be to include a few more items in the kitchen - very hard to cook for a crowd without baking sheets, hot pads, bowls, etc. Bring your own if you plan on making meals. We would definitely stay again!

I just want to compliment the staff on responding to our request for help with our pool heater which had stopped working. They were very efficient, courteous, and fast.
This property was beautiful and its’ lovely rooms gave my family both privacy and fabulous together space. Minutes walk to the beach and lovely backyard is perfect for relation. It’s also an easy walk/bike ride to town restaurants, pickleball etc. Some questions came up regarding the home and management was quick to answer and respond. Despite the hurricane, it was a fabulous stay!
