About this property

Classic 2nd Row Beach Home ~ Pet Friendly ~ 2 Brown Pelican Rd

"Driftwood," situated in the scenic Sea Pines community of Hilton Head, is a cherished family legacy, now shared with renters for the very first time. This home, a beloved part of the owner's family since 1979, underwent a transformative renovation in the spring of 2022, successfully preserving its original charm while introducing essential modern upgrades, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. In honor of its historical significance and to inspire cherished family vacation memories, the bedrooms remain TV-free, fostering quality time together, while TVs are available in both living rooms. This classic "upside-down" beach house places the main living room and kitchen on the upper level, alongside three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a screened-in porch. The house boasts a spacious deck adorned with a grill, dining table, and magnolia trees, creating the perfect spot for outdoor gatherings. Downstairs, a second living room, another bedroom, and a bathroom offer a private retreat. Embracing pets, "Driftwood" welcomes furry family members, and being just 2nd row to the beach, a mere 2-minute stroll leads to the sandy shoreline. Without a private pool, this rental includes a Harbour Town pool pass for your rental. There is parking at the pool. "Driftwood" is the perfect home for those seeking a vintage beach house with modern amenities and upgrades.

Looking for more details about Driftwood?

Welcome to Driftwood, a truly unique and pet-friendly short-term rental nestled in the heart of Sea Pines, Hilton Head. Situated on a double lot and surrounded by a picturesque landscape of palm trees, magnolia trees, and oak trees, this exceptional property, which has been in the owner's family since 1979, is now being shared with renters for the very first time. Undergoing a substantial renovation in 2022, the current owners masterfully preserved the vintage 70's style of the house while incorporating modern amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms.

Boasting two driveways and a spacious carport, Driftwood provides ample parking space. The carport also houses a convenient laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer, making it the perfect drop-off point for beach gear. Pass by large pieces of driftwood as you enter through the distinctive red front door, leading you to the downstairs game room. This cozy space features a smart TV, couches, a foosball table, board games, a table, and a refrigerator—ideal for unwinding and socializing. An adjacent bedroom downstairs offers a queen bed and an attached full bathroom.

Venture upstairs to discover the open living area, where a smart TV, plenty of seating, and a dining room for eight, complemented by three additional bar stools at the kitchen island, create a welcoming atmosphere. The open kitchen boasts updated quartz countertops, blending the vintage 70's style with modern furnishings. A screened-in porch off the dining room provides a charming space with a large picnic table, while a sliding door leads to the expansive wrap-around deck, complete with a grill, outdoor table, and Adirondack chairs—perfect for relaxation beneath the magnificent magnolia trees.

Follow the hallway off the living room to find three more bedrooms. The first bedroom features two twin beds, followed by another with a queen bed. These two bedrooms share a fully renovated hallway bathroom. Continuing down the hall on the right, you'll discover the primary bedroom with a king bed and an attached private bathroom featuring a shower/bathtub combination.

Situated just 2nd row to the beach, Driftwood offers a mere 2-minute walk to the ocean. Additionally, a 0.3-mile stroll takes you to South Beach Marina for shops, dining, and entertainment. While the house doesn't have a private pool, a Harbour Town pool pass is included.

Beach get away
Absolutely loved our stay at Driftwood! The house had beautiful updates and the screened in porch was our evening hangout every night! The house was perfectly located between 2 beach access points and you had a view of the ocean from the front window. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and can’t wait to book again!

Perfect in every way
We've visited Hilton Head (specifically Sea Pines) for many many years and this was one of our best overall experiences. Driftwood is a perfect beach house based on the proximity to the beach and to the South Beach area as well as the casual, family friendly appointing. We loved it and would definitely book again.

Wonderful Beachside Retreat
This was a perfect place for our family vacation to Hilton Head. Plenty of room for everyone to be together yet have their own space. Only a five minute walk to the beach. Very clean and well appointed place. It was also very easy to check in, check out and know how things were going to work during our stay. We would definitely use Beachside again at this or other properties.
