It's a prime spot! Guests will be impressed with the convenience of the beach trolley , woodsy walking trails, shops, restaurants and lovely pool nearby. See you again soon!
The condo was just as described, walking distance to the Lighthouse and lots of events! We brought our bikes and had a wonderful time riding around, Trolley ride all over the island was also fun playing oldies tunes and a cool AC! Nice pool access, 20.00 parking pass had us covered for the whole week. Condo was nice and cool, spacious and quiet so we slept great! Affordable price of the condo allowed us to go out to eat several times and enjoy a boat tour that launched from the Lighthouse! We will be back!

The biking trails have been recently widened to allow passing as the trails do get busy in season. Guests can bike to any location on the resort without using the streets. Guests who leave the resort by bike are subject to security scrutiny at the gate so it is best to carry cash and ID under those circumstances. The trolleys have multiple routes and stop locally across the street, in Harbour town and the Sea Pines Center. Check out the trolley map when you arrive as there are posted hours. The villa pool is lovely and , large and a shady place to relax and read or enjoy pool games with the children. There are many fine restaurants nearby for special occasions or non cooking nights. The kitchen and dining room are useful for nights indoors.
See you next time!
Great communication with Caryn..easy check in and check out.The only issue we had was we could not get the TV to work in the living room...called the number that was given but still never worked...so only other TV was in main bedroom Cute place...affordable...needs some updates but overall good.

The cable company will troubleshoot with the guest who is onsite if they call 855-895-5302 and give the owner's name and the service address. They will make an on site service call if an adult is present (a protocol before they resolve an outside issue). The phone number is 24 hours but service calls are generally scheduled during the week. If the guest is not staying long, the service call may not be convenient. However, since the cable TV is provided by the community regime, owners have little control over their set procedures. I contacted the cable company after the guest departed, but they would not troubleshoot the issue until a new guest checked in..
Extensive updates were made with the past year. Updates are ongoing in a prudent fashion so they don't result in higher rents
This is a great property in such a convenient location! Would definitely stay again.

Great Location and Comfortable Stay in Harbour Town
We had a really enjoyable stay at this Harbour Town villa! The location was ideal - just a short bike ride or walk to the beach, Harbour Town shops, and beautiful walking trails. It was a peaceful and relaxing setting, perfect for a getaway.The villa was clean, affordable, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The layout was spacious enough for our family, and we appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful touches throughout the home.A few minor updates could elevate the experience to a full five stars, but overall, we had a great time and would definitely consider staying here again. It’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking to unwind in Sea Pines without breaking the bank!

We appreciate folks like yourself who can relax and enjoy the splendid atmosphere in a comfortable yet modest setting. Sea Pines is a very special place and we feel honored to share our home with those who can appreciate the commitment and care we instill in maintaining our lovely home. Families will fondly remember the experiences they had while vacationing in this beautiful area. Those memories can conjure up a lifetime of comfort in the otherwise unpredictable daily grind which has become circumspect in our lives during this unprecedented time.
I read previous reviews and therefore was not surprised by the decor or furnishings. The location is excellent and made the stay worthwhile.

Location, location, location! Indeed, it is an ideal place for a splendid vacation! We love the indigo color and durable fabric of the newly installed (December 2018) queen sleeper and love seat in the living room, which, by the way are also featured in many nearby upscale properties on the resort. The ivory white bed sets upstairs are also recent acquisitions (December 2018) and include new head boards, floor boards, night stands, dresser drawers and mattresses/box springs in both queen and twin sizes.

Great location to Harbour Town!
Overall the villa met our needs. It was much more spacious than the pictures depict. We loved walking to Harbour Town and taking the trolley to the Beach Club. Great amenities and fantastic location in Sea Pines.

This beautiful and ideally located home is constructed as a townhouse, which served as a much loved family vacation spot for decades. The 1620 feet villa has ample space to comfortably accommodate six persons. The kitchen, laundry and dining areas make daily living a pleasure and a cost-saving option for those who would prefer to spend their money on active outings. The queen sized sofa bed downstairs folds up to allow additional seating for television, games or conversation on a rainy night. There is also a double patio out back overlooking the tennis court and the serenity of the trees in bloom.
The trolley is a welcome addition to the resort. We encourage guests to take advantage of the many resources on the resort along the trolley route including -the lovely and private Sea Pines Beach Club , Harbour Town, South Beach Marina Village, Sea Pines Center and the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. Bicycles are also available for rent at nearby Sea Pines Center on a daily or weekly basis. The store will even drop them off and pick them up from the front of the villa. The leisure trails are perfect for sightseeing as they span the whole resort.
We are happy to learn that others appreciate this special place and are able to reside comfortably in our beloved nook. We will be renting to folks like yourself for many years to come. Thank you for your inspiration.
My boys and I had a wonderful time. The condo is located close to Harbour Town and an easy ride to the beach. We really appreciated having beach items available for use, Overall I would definitely recommend.

Thanks Jennifer! We aim to please. The beach closet contains all of the customary trappings for a day at the beach. It is especially convenient for travelers who are coming from a distance with limited luggage.
The villa was as advertised (clean, great location for our needs, a little outdated - as expected and a little warm upstairs). The owner was easy to work with and was prompt during the booking process and with sending us the door code for check-in. The pool was great and we enjoyed our time in Hilton Head. We would book again.

The cleaning company has been rated best on the island. A new floor was laid downstairs and in the upstairs bathrooms 2024. The pool at Heritage Villas is one of the nicest and largest in the Sea Pines area. See you next year!
It was a great place for the price. Needs a little updating but very clean. Centrally located with easy Trolley pick up and drop off to all locations in Sea Pines so you can park your car and never move it if you don't want to. Owner was great to work with and timely about sending required info for condo, pools, WIFI, etc. Will def rent again.

Folks like you help us realize that there is still some decency in the world. We are part of a constituency that aims to move the island forward without sacrificing the natural pleasure that emanates from the habitat of the environment.
You are certainly welcome! Thanks for your feedback.
The location is nice and it is very roomy. If you are planning on doing a lot of cooking, I would bring some of your own cookware like a stock-pot and cookie sheet. It smelled a bit musty upon arrival, but with some air freshener, it was fine.

Th location is ideal as the villa is situated just outside Harbour Town. The townhouse is 1600 square feet and will accommodate a large family. A brand new contemporary modern range with an electronic dual element stove top, self cleaning oven and fingerprint resistant stainless steel finish was installed in July 2020. Avid cooks may want to bring some of their favorite pieces as the kitchen is stocked with the basics. We do recommend using air freshener as the scent of the salt water can linger when folks use the beach supplies that are generously provided.
The two main things we look for in renting a place are for it to be clean and comfortable. The place meet both of those. It was a little older but very well maintained. It was a short walk (about 5 mins) to Harbour Town, which was very nice after a 11 hour drive to not get back in the car. We all agreed that we would stay again..no complaints

About the host
Hosted by Caryn
We are the original owners of this lovely villa and we have spent many wonderful vacations in Sea Pines, watching the Family Circle Cup Tennis tournament and listening to Todd Ballantine share ecological tidbits about the Island. We know first hand how the resort grew into what it has become today. On a recent visit this winter, I noticed many upgrades in the physical landscape-new plantings, more open spaces, better lighting. New top notch facilities all over Sea Pines have been opened for tourists visiting since the 2014 season. The Resort maintains it's safe, comfortable low-key surroundings in spite of the modern forthcoming additions. Many new amenities have made this perfect place to vacation. Renting the villa to families that enjoy the atmosphere gives us great joy. We love hearing about your positive experiences in this pristine neighborhood. Families return to this spot year after year because it is beautiful, peaceful and serene. The Sea Pines Resort makes every effort to accommodate visitors from all over. It is refreshing to see so many different people enjoying this special, natural place. It is worthwhile coming any time of the year as there are activities planned for every season. We typically enjoy the warmer weather, the Spanish moss on the trees and the flat sand on the beach at low tide. The broad beach is a great place to ride bikes, play ball, relax and read or take a nature walk. We love the fact that the leisure trails are interconnected and very walkable. It feels good to be able to walk to amenities in the area. Sitting outside on the spacious patio, we can observe nature up close. There are numerous birds that frequent the trees above, some of which are native to the semi-tropical climate. It is interesting to see the tennis players on the clay courts as well.
Why they chose this property
We are currently renting and will one day be able to enjoy more time there during our retirement. Frequent visits allow us to monitor the condition of the home's many offerings. We appreciate guests who respect our property and recognize the care that goes into upkeep. It is a home not a hotel, complete with the trappings of a comfortable lifestyle. We make timely updates as is reasonable for our budget and to keep the rents affordable for families. If you are looking for contemporary new construction, you will not find it here. We love the tranquil surroundings. The trees offer a lot of shade. The flowers bloom most of the year and the sun is nearly always shining brightly. We really appreciate not having to use the vehicle after the long drive to this destination. There are shops that offer the best of many items-apparel, art, toys, food supplies, beverages and sundries. The restaurants nearby prepare some of the best food on the island. The dock nearby has a gazebo that offers a great view of the ships traveling across the Calibogue sound. There are watersports galore to peruse (additional fees apply). Homemade ice cream is available at the cinnamon bear in Harbour town. Many folks, visitors and residents alike, can be seen eating ice cream and watching the sun drop down along the horizon at dusk. There are benches all along the perimeter to promote dawdling. There is a nearby t-shirt shop called the Salty Dog Cafe. You will see the name over and over again on the backs of many who call this place their own. You may even bump into people from your own place of residence. Once word gets out, many return year after year to the same spot.
What makes this property unique
The view from the master bedroom has always conjured images of a truly satisfying vacation-the tennis whites and numerous trees in the backyard. The little patio in back was forever conducive to quality socializing. Back in the day, concerts were performed by Hargray on the tennis court behind the villa, making free entertainment a bonus of this particular dwelling for several years. You really cannot beat the prime location. It is within a short walking distance to Harbour town and Sea Pines Center. We provide beach gear which is appreciated by many who have come from afar. While additional chairs can be rented on the beach, it is nice to be able to use the ones we have provided. We also provide a large cooler which is an asset when traveling with children. Many guests like the selection of board games we have to help squelch boredom on rainy days. The townhouse is quite spacious (1620 sq. ft.). There are bathrooms on both floors. The laundry room and kitchen are set apart from the dining area. There are 2 sets of sliding doors leading to the double patio out back. The property is centrally located which makes it easier to get to nearby amenities on foot or bicycle. Many guests remark on the proximity which enables them to forgo looking for vehicle parking during the busy season. Passes for the week are managed by the resort. The parking lot adjacent to the property can accommodate two cars.
