The property was very clean and spacious. Kitchen was very well supplied and even had an extra refrigerator in the large laundry room. The backyard is incredibly peaceful and serene. Bike paths are endless and just a few minutes walk to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.

The layout of the house was great. The furniture needs updating and many of the outdoor chairs were broken. We were hesitant to use the dock level of the back deck because we felt it was unsafe - loose boards and splintering wood.

Great house, open floor plan, very clean and well maintained

Great experience, a bit of a walk to the beach, only thing that could have made the stay better would have been a wagon to transport stuff to the beach

Great location and floor plan

The house was clean and well kept. It's showing it's age in a few places but everything was operational. Vtrips (Claire specifically) was extremely responsive to anything that came up while we stayed. The floor plan was great with everyone (except the bunk room) having their own bathroom. I would recommend and stay here again.

Nice house set in a beautiful tropical setting. Good access to a beautiful private beach. Overall, the house was comfortable, but could use some better organization in the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Also, the shower house was unusable. Good value for the money.

Perfect for a multi-family vacation

Perfect layout for multiple families. The room with 2 bunk beds, a sofa, and TV was great for the 3 teens to sequester themselves. The bedroom and bathroom layout allowed the 3 couples privacy while the large living room, dining room and kitchen area allowed ample space for the whole group to be together. Easy walking access to the beach and close stores and restaurants were perfect.

Hilton Head Wedding stay.

This property worked great for my 95 YO mom. very minimal steps and one bedroom had a relatively low rise bed with bath attached. Kinda odd at the price point that many supplies (toilet paper) are not included

Great home base for family trip

The house was great and had plenty of space for us to spread out. It was a very short and easy walk to the beach and a short drive from everything we needed. It was bright and open and great for our young kids. (Some of the rooms let in a lot of light, even with the curtains closed in case you have little kids that need darkness.) We would definitely stay here again. The only negative: there were swarms of mosquitoes as soon as we stepped outside and as we walked to the beach. Nothing to do with the house other than being close to the lagoon but we didn’t get to enjoy the backyard or porch as a result. Had a nice trip and thanks for having us!

Perfect home for a RELAXING Vacation!

We have been so fortunate to have decided to be on the Island for a month in this beautiful home. Our original plan was two weeks, and when the coronavirus hit, we extended our stay another two weeks! This home has been heavenly. Not only is it a great size for a family of 4, (plus a dog who has fallen in love with the beach) but it is a great layout! The home is set back in a very private part of Palmetto Dunes, making it very quiet with less traffic. Walking to the beach takes 7-8 minutes, yet only a 2 week bike ride! We will definitely return to this beautiful home. Vtrips did great communicating with us and we were lucky to be able to extend our stay.

Perfect Get-Away in Hilton Head

We absolutely loved this home! It provided the perfect Hilton Head get-away. The house is spacious, comfortably accommodating 5 adults. The rooms are bright and beautifully decorated. There are large windows facing several patios and the lagoon and the kitchen is large, beautiful and well stocked. We loved all of the different pretty sitting areas both inside and outside of the house. Also, the management was responsive and easy to work with. And the location could not be better. The neighborhood is phenomenal! There are beautiful homes on tree lined streets and the beach is a short walk away. There are bike trails in the neighborhood and a tennis/pickle ball club close by. And we thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants and all there is to do in gorgeous Hilton Head. We hope to be back soon!

Short but sweet

The property was lovely. It’s true what the other reviews say about the bugs. Even on chilly nights it was a little buggy out back by the water. This is a pet friendly house however the yard is not fenced in at all and this is not advertised. Getting into the house was easy and clear. If you are a larger party plan to arrive at the same time bc it’s a 15m drive back to the gate to hand off parking passes to all cars in the party. Just those little logistical things but it is a nice and spacious Home in a quiet neighborhood. Would book again.

Perfect for our needs

Accessibility was a priority with us, so being all on one level was perfect. We appreciated the bedrooms being separated from each other since there were different couples staying. The neighborhood was very quiet with a short walk to the beach. The deck was nice, but is aging and some repairs are needed. It would have been nice to have the deck chairs cleaned off and cushions that were stowed somewhere so they would stay clean.The kitchen was well-equipped with cookware, bake ware and dishes.We would have appreciated a larger toaster for 6 people, more light in the dining room and some lamps in the living room. There were no hot pads for baking and we would have appreciated more dish towels and at least some salt and pepper. Two more suggestions would be have some ant spray handy under the sink....we had an ant infestation....and some attention to the front bedroom bed. It was very squeaky. All just tips for a more pleasant stay, but in general, we had a great time!

Lovely Property Near the Beach

Ok let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. I agree with previous visitors who had issues with bugs. Since this is a known issue (even the pest control mentioned that they always get calls about this property) the property should always be sprayed down PRIOR to guests arriving. This was an unnecessary headache that could have been avoided. Second, the portal was a bit confusing. We were not given a code and had to call in to have the portal reset. Also, it wasn't made clear that the parking passes were needed to ACCESS the property gate. The portal just says that the passes need to be picked up from the office and keep on the car dashboard. Lastly, there were too many check out reminders. We received 2 or 3 reminders the day before. The day of checkout we received another 3. Guests don't need that many reminders about check out. One reminder the day before is sufficient. Outside of those things the property itself was lovely! Access to the beach is within walking distance (a few minutes). The neighborhood is quiet and tranquil and the property was well cleaned. The customer service was amazing! Ms. Diane was VERY responsive anytime we reached out to her and was an absolute joy to work with. This more than made up for the few hiccups we had : )

Relaxing Getaway

We were in town to visit our son who is in the navy. We were very comfortable in the house. They had enough staples to get us through the weekend. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. It’s a beautiful, quiet neighborhood with large trees everywhere. We were able to sit on the back porch and drink coffee while watching birds stop by for a visit. They had games, books and television for entertainment. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location but not great upkeep.

The location of this property was excellent. The beach is a short work away which made it easy to enjoy morning walks & bike rides. While the living space design was great, it was hard to totally relax because the place has a pest control problem. When we arrived the room my daughter was supposed to sleep in had several large dead bugs in the middle of the floor. She refused to sleep in that room. The outside maintenance was also not up to par especially compared to other houses on the street. The gutter was filled with dead leaves which attracted mosquitoes. We used a lot of mosquito repellent whenever we entered or left the house. We also could not use the beautiful back yard. Spider webs covered much of the furniture making is seem that the outside was never properly cleaned for the season. I complained and the management company did come out and cleaned a couple of dirty cushions but didn’t clean the grill or the rest of the backyard area. On the last day a pest control person arrived and when I asked if he was spraying for mosquitos, he said he was spraying to kill roaches. I am glad they arranged for someone to spray. It was just a little to late. I paid a lot of money to rent this house so we made the most of it. However, we were very careful when packing to leave so that we wouldn’t bring any unwelcome friends back with us. A review from a few years back mentioned the pest but I trusted the owner’s response which said they had taken care of the pest problem. I will not pay more attention to the one or two problematic comments when using VRBO in the future.

Poor Communication

House is a great layout and lots of room, pretty much everything you need. Unfortunately communication was an issue. We were never notified about what to do during a tropical storm/ tornado warning then the next day the debris was a mess and no one ever came to clean up or check on us. the driveway had limbs, and debris everywhere. A limb even hit our rental car and dented it (we had to file a claim), I know that isn't your fault, but the rest of the mess needed cleaned up. Luckily everyone was very careful walking and riding their bikes through it. When I reached out about turning on outdoor lights no one ever got back to me. Other than communication the location and house were great!
