About this property

Sandpiper by AvantStay | Historic, Character Filled Beach House

Welcome to Sandpiper, an AvantStay home!

Perfection doesn’t exist but this home is as close as it gets. Situated just steps from the beach and surrounded by trees for extra privacy, this idyllic beach house invites you for a warm getaway with your favorite people. Inside, you’ll find soft interiors, painted wood walls, and something charming in every corner: a dainty spiral staircase, a surfboard on the wall, an old-fashioned kitchen and fireplace, and a light-filled sunroom with a foosball table. Outside is just as picturesque with scallop-trimmed umbrellas, a hammock for reading, and a dining area with BBQ grill. A Primary Bedroom leads to a private balcony with rocking chairs and 3 additional bright and airy bedrooms provide ample space for rest and relaxation after a long day in the sun. It’s hard not to feel rejuvenated when you’re falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves!
​​​​​​​
Drawing lovers of the beach, ice cream, golf, and all things quintessentially American, Hilton Head is a lowcountry gem that has a distinct cultural, scenic, and culinary presence.

A Great Find in HH
We loved this house and it is so comfortable for a group of people. There is direct access to the beach, and a great backyard to relax and enjoy your group. Every couple had a bathroom with privacy, and it is dog friendly! We will revisit.

Old School Beach House Perfection!
We had a fantastic stay! The online details and reviews left us with no surprises. Our fur babies loved the room and the beach. The sand burrs you read about were definitely there - but our puppies learned to just come over to us if they had one and we’d get it out quickly. It wasn’t a huge deal at all! The home is older, so we know hiccups can come with that. We actually arrived to find the split unit had fallen off the house and wasn’t working. Now, middle of the summer may have made that a really tough stay - but it was cooler and how it was dealt with made all the difference. The Avant Stay contacts we had for the property were on it and so wonderful about their interaction with us. Ruben was the absolute best! Our family had a fantastic Thanksgiving! The house has a really awesome layout for family and friends, dinners and games. And who doesn’t love waking up and seeing the ocean. If you’re looking for a relaxing, laid back, unpretentious time - this house is definitely worth a consideration!

Really enjoyed our stay
Ideal location. Quiet area of the beach just steps from back door. .6 miles to all the shops and eateries at Coligny and golf is everywhere! Rode our bikes everywhere on the bike trails. 7 of us stayed very comfortably for the week. Comfortable beds and although not the newest or fanciest house, has lot of character and everything was very clean. Screened porch was nice and kitchen well stocked w/ everything you need to cook efficiently. Nice grill as well as well as games, puzzles, beach chairs, cooler, etc, provided! Will definitely stay again.

Really nice place... watch out for the sandburs!
Overall, the property was fantastic for our group. We really enjoyed the dog-friendly home, and the space was great. The kitchen is a little tight, but we knew that from the pictures posted online (not a gripe... just a fact). We booked the property for the direct beach access, which didn't disappoint. it was amazing! We also booked it due to the lawn area to allow our 2 mini-doodles to roam. Unfortunately, there were sandburs all over the yard. To be fair, there were signs posted at the doors indicating to wear shoes to avoid the burs in the grass. However, with this advertised as a dog-friendly property, the lawn really needs to be dog-friendly. We ended up carrying our dogs across the lawn to the beach by the end of the week to avoid getting burrs in their paws... and I took them across the street to potty each day so they didn't get burrs in their paws. I've done some quick online research, and there appears to be numerous herbicide options to minimize/eradicate these burrs. For the price of the rental, I'd recommend the owners either pay for the lawn service or just get new sod to put down. Again, overall this was a great week for our family!
