About this property

HHI COTTAGE 2 MIN WALK TO BEACH, 35' PRIVATE POOL, DOG FRIENDLY, ROOMY HOME

Owner welcomes you to enjoy High Tide Cottage on Hilton Head Island, a 2 min walk on a private path to Folly Field Beach. The updated and charming cottage is a 2 story comfortable and clean living space in the quiet Folly Field neighborhood. Need a first floor bedroom with a full bath-we have one!!
Five total bedrooms sleep 10 with 3.5 bathrooms. (See layout in pictures) The cottage has 2 ground level Keyless entries, PRIVATE 35' POOL which is heatable (depending on current outside temperature for a $400 fee,) outside dining area, horseshoe pit and charcoal grill, and a fenced yard. The cottage is one dog friendly ($250 fee), close to beach and bike paths, shopping, restaurants, and other entertainment opportunities. Stroll to the ocean to enjoy the beautiful morning sunrise; return at the end of the day to view sandpipers and dolphins. Or, just relax by YOUR OWN PRIVATE POOL and read a good book while enjoying your favorite beverage. Hoping you will enjoy your stay at High Tide Cottage and will become a repeat renter.. We were renters from the prior owners and jumped at the chance to be the current owner- that is how much we loved our time spent at High Tide Cottage!

Hilton Head Newbies

This was our family’s first time visiting Hilton Head Island, and it definitely will not be the last. The cottage was everything that we had envisioned and much more. The eclectic charm felt like a page featured in Southern Living. The neighborhood is so charming with the mature trees and pathways for our morning walks. We appreciated closing our long days on the surf-side with relaxing evenings poolside. Our host was gracious and very communicative. Definitely a trip we will remember for years to come!

Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The beach was a short walk away and the pool in the back yard was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Everything we needed or wanted was within a 15 driving distance or less. Owner was quick to respond and very friendly.

Perfect stay!

Beautiful pool, short walk to the beach, quiet neighborhood, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! This house was perfect for our party of 10 with ages ranging from 1-79. We cooked, we grilled, we used the beach wagon everyday. Comfortable beds, comfortable bedding, a/c worked perfectly. Highly recommend!!!

Awesome Beach Cottage

Family vacation in HHI was simply the best in this perfect beach house one block from the Folly Field beach. The house has a beautiful outdoor pool - providing a refreshing swim for all. Host communication was very supportive and helped us with the specifics of the area and nuances with the home. While the house is a little tired, it was very clean and provided our family with a great vacation week in Hilton Head.

We enjoyed our week and would definitely book again. House was very clean and having a pool was definitely a great benefit. It was only a short walk to the beach and appreciated that a wagon and cooler was provided for our use. The beach access is thru a gate with a code for the neighborhood so the beach area is not as crowded as the public beach areas are in July, which was nice. Communication with Megan was very good. Just a note that there is no ice maker but 3 ice cube trays and a bin are provided which worked for us. Photos online accurately show the house and pool area. House is a little dated in some areas, (cabinets in kitchen, some dressers in bedrooms) but it is very clean which was more important to us. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Perfect Location

We were down for our sons wedding at the Westin and the cottage was a perfect homebase for our family to enjoy a week together. The cottage was charming and cozy. It had everything we needed to feel at home. The location to the beach and the pool were an added bonus. We will definitely look to stay here again when we return to Hilton Head!

Great location, nice pool

Review:We really enjoyed our stay! The house is great, though it could use a few upgrades. Loved the location—close to shopping and adventure, yet just a short, easy walk to the beach via a wooded trail. The provided beach cart made carrying gear easier. The pool was clean and refreshing, with a convenient outdoor shower to rinse off. The umbrellas looked new, though the outdoor furniture could use an update. There’s a shed with beach gear, but it’s a bit worn—bring your own if you can.Inside, the living room and beds were comfy (bring your own pillows). The kitchen is small, but it worked fine for light meals. The dishwasher is very old and doesn’t clean well. The large dining table was perfect for group meals and game nights—even a jigsaw puzzle wasn’t in the way. :)Our favorite part was being able to bring our dog! Just note the yard is only partially fenced with some broken slats, so it may not contain a crafty adventure-seeker.With only two TVs in the house (living room and master), it was tricky for our group of 7 when we wanted to watch different things. We ended up buying a cheap smart TV for the week. TVs are so affordable now that adding them to the other four bedrooms would be an easy win and a thoughtful touch for guests.Check-in was smooth and there were no issues that required immediate attention. Overall, the location, comfort, dog-friendliness, and overall vibe made it a great beach getaway, and we would rent here again.

The perfect home for your family vacation!

We couldn't have been more happy with our stay at the High Tide Cottage. We had five adults and three kids/teens and the home was very spacious and we never felt like we were on top of one another. The kitchen is great and you can have multiple people in there and not be on top of one another. The home is steps away from the beach and the pool was an addition we hadn't had in a vacation home to date that made the getaway even better! Megan was a great host! Easy to communicate with and provided everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Great place, amazing location

My sister and I stayed with our families to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. Steps from the beach, the house was large enough to accommodate all of us with a pool that kept my older kids entertained and a mini bedroom that was perfect for my niece’s crib. Everything was clearly explained, as promised, and super clean, so we didn’t need Megan, but I have no doubt that she would be on top of it if we did. Would highly recommend!

Close to Beach

We have made several trips to HHI and stayed in a few different areas so we are not new to renting homes here- Pros- Very close to beach, nice sized pool, air worked well, owner pleasant,easy to work with and is responsive. Cons- older place, smelled like mold, no carpeting or descent throw rug, had to buy my dog a rug to lay on, floors sandy, needs up dating and painting, furniture uncomfortable to sit on, could have been much cleaner, pool could have been cleaner even after pool it was serviced, no grass for dog to do business on all shells and rocks, not sure why the high pet fee is charged for, as there is nothing to damage.

Excellent stay in High Tide Cottage!

Our family of 7 adults and out 55lb dog had a wonderful stay over the Christmas week. Megan was a great host; quick at answering my questions and very accommodating. Although mother nature didn't bring the warmer weather we hoped for we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hilton Head. The cottage had the perfect amount of space for all of us. We relaxed on the sofas and watched TV, did arts and crafts and played games on the large dining table and prepared all of our meals in the well stocked kitchen. The location can't be beat! We walked and ran with our dog on Folly Field beach every day and she loved fetching, swimming and playing with the other dogs. The water was calm and the sand was packed and great for walking, running and riding bikes. We explored the area and really enjoyed the Gullah heritage bus tour and riding horses at Lawton Stables. We definitely will stay here again if we travel to Hilton Head in the future!

Beach Vacation

I was really happy with the property and the location (very close to the beach!). But when we got back home we got an email from a rental insurance company saying that our VRBO stay resulted in the host reporting is for damages (note that we do not owe anything — it’s covered by this insurance, but the insinuation that we broke these items was annoying). I noticed the property had a few odds and ends that needed done (there was a broken chair in the backyard by the pool that we took to the trash area when we arrived, that kind of thing). The host never asked me about these items or asked what happened. I’m not sure how I could have avoided this situation short of reviewing the property and alerting the host of anything amiss. Overall, a very weird experience for such a pricey rental option.

It was okay

Even though we had some issues when we arrived and I emailed Catherine one was taken care of. I did not discuss all the issues with her. The house was okay you can tell that it is an older property in much need of updates and repairs. I look at reviews and all reviews were really good but as a person in house cleaning for forty years this place was not up to my standards. I was disappointed that in the days of Covid the house was not real clean. There was dirt, clothes and tissues under the beds. They were not sweep under so I know they were not scrubbed. We had to clean under them. The outside fence is falling in and there was garbage in the bushes that smelled awful. Dried dog poop, that I was told someone would come and clean up. The garbage can in the kitchen was filthy, the kitchen drawers needed a good cleaning. We also had to clean mold out of the washer, shower heads in the house and outside. We wanted to put our clothes in the drawers but had to clean them out first because of the hair and dirt in them. The pool was the nicest thing, it just needs cleaned more then once a week. It wouldn’t filter water as it needed more added to it. I hate to be so negative on my review but the bad really did out weigh the good. As for distance to the beach it wasn’t a bad walk and Hilton head is pretty. I just wanted to try a new area. I think I will go back to Myrtle Beach next year. Catherine I am sorry for the review but I believe it needed to be said. You were very kind to me but you need to really check on your cleaning crew
