Clean comfortable home

Community and house were great, large and spacious, clean. 2 1/2 bath was perfect for family of 4 adults. Tips- Bikes are available to rent nearby at Hilton Head Outfitters, best way to get around the community and to the beaches that it backs up to.There are no beach towels at the property- so be prepared to buy or bring your own. They do have 2 beach chairs and 2 small umbrellas, would buy a canopy or some shade for the beach next go around, the umbrellas don't do well with the winds

Cozy home

We stayed here for 3 nights with our young adult kids and wished we could have stayed longer! The house was super spacious and decorated beautifully. The patio was a bit of a mess when we got there.....covered in pine needles and bird droppings all over the patio furniture. Decided it was easier to just hose it down myself versus calling the management company. A little annoyed about that and not having any coffee pods provided but nothing to get too bent out of shape over. It also would have been great if there was a little canoe or kayak to take a quick exploration in the lake in the backyard, but we enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the turtles swim up. The beds were comfortable and overall enjoyed our stay.
