We had a great time! The nicely decorated, clean house in quiet neighborhood was perfect for our crew and had everything we needed for our spring break vacation. Paid extra to have the pool heated which was needed for March weather. Proximity to beach was great and bikes were a nice addition. Management company said there were no beach/pool toys so we brought and bought some of our own but didn't need them after all as some were found in the outdoor shower area. Was a little surprised we had to rent a pack n play for the baby as most rentals supply them. Other than that, it was a great spot. We'd stay there again!
The location was fabulous! The house layout was perfect. We loved the neighborhood and the pool. My only complaint is my granddaughters knees were black from crawling on the floor. We would rent this house again.

We stayed at the property with my wife, to daughters (24,26), son in law, and mother in law. The house main floor has a great set up with 3 on suite rooms. The upstairs loft was nice but is open to the living room below. Location was excellent and had easy access to the beach. Beautiful big patio. Property manager was excellent. Really nice property.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your housekeeping and pool issues upon arrival. Next time, please call us immediately so we can fix any issue you may be experiencing. We definitely don't want you to clean on your vacation.
Thanks again for the feedback and we hope to see you soon!
We really enjoyed our stay at 7 Dinghy. The house is absolutely beautiful and worked perfectly for my husband and I and two teenage girls. And the location is amazing. The views are stunning, the beach is wonderful and quiet. And the management company was honestly so helpful. We hit some cool weather and wanted to heat the pool at the last minute and they were so nice to work with with and accommodated our last minute request. Working with them overall was really a pleasure. They made the whole process very easy.

review
The 4th bedroom was misrepresented, it’s actually a 3 bedroom house
Ice machine broke, and we had to purchase ice each day
Beautiful beach home along the ocean shores of Palmetto Dunes, this home had so many comfortable amenities like private pool, many views of the beach and shore, large deck/ patio, spacious kitchen and multiple baths for all the guests. The kids loved the loft bedroom space. It had the best views! The beach decor was simple and modern but warm and inviting. Pool was cleaned on Wednesday during our stay which was needed. Due to the location right on the beach, a simple floor vac would be helpful since sand is inevitably tracked in. But this is why we stayed here and it was lovely every day. This place is gorgeous and we loved every minute of our stay! Thank you for sharing your home via VRBO.
We had a group of 7 people for my wife's 60th birthday celebration. We did a long weekend and wished we had longer. The house is beautiful and very clean. It's bigger than it looks from the outside and it's surrounded by nice trees that provide privacy (a lot of houses don't have this!). Our group loves to cook, and the kitchen is great for multiple "chefs" and onlookers. Excellent communication with The Vacation Company and the "free" beach equipment company - everything went as promised. We were there Oct. 12 - 16 and the pool and ocean water were still great tempurature. Nice patio/deck and the direct access to the beautiful beach was awesome. The mid-island location made it easy to do grocery/liquor runs. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home, beautiful location, beautiful community
Loved this home, loved the location and was pleasantly impressed with it being as advertised (even better ) but did have a terrible experience with flying ants? Insects swarming the picture window in the living room and making their way to the other rooms. Rental co was notified and a representative brought and sprayed bug spray. Which helped kill them but left masses of dead insects. We think properly resealing the windows and doors will help.
I hope rental company takes measures to fix this issue. We would love to stay here again.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay at this home and hope you choose to return. We apologize for the ant problem you experienced and want you to know we have worked to resolve it.
Thank you.
Property check in was a breeze. Communal spaces such as Living Room, Kitchen etc. provided a cozy, casual vibe which was very inviting in the evenings for games and hanging out. Loved the kitchen - cozy vibe with various seating areas and high end pots/pans/appliances. Lacked some items that typically I see in rental homes (salt/pepper/extra garbage bags, etc), however this may be due to extra diligence on the part of the cleaning team. House was impeccably clean. I did have higher expectations with regards to the pictured “loft” space. The top bunk is SO close to the ceiling that it is really not logistically possible to comfortably sleep even a small child. There is also no privacy from main living room as it is a true loft. The pool is sparkling. My husband remarked that it is the best pool he has had on a HH rental. The pool itself is clean, lots of seating, plenty of towels, complete privacy from beach. The house comes with an umbrella (not highest quality) and 2 decent chairs. We purchased pool floats and beach toys for our stay. The owner also proves a $250 credit to rent equipment for the week. Only real “complaint” would be the carpenter ant issue. We did not even mention it during our stay so it is far from a “problem,” but we killed many of them during our stay. They hung out in all the rooms, around the baseboards. We found a couple in 2 of the showers as well.

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your recent visit to Hilton Head and greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided.

As for the remarks about this home, we have passed this information along to the Property Manager as well as the owner for consideration for future rentals. We hope you plan to visit the island again in the near future as we would be more than happy to assist with any rental needs you may have. - Vacation Company
This is a darling house - clean, well-designed and just right for our family to enjoy. Easy walk to the beach and the pool was just right. The location is excellent!
