The resort is complete with elevators, laundry facilities on each floor, and a beautiful heated pool** and sun deck - open year-round from sunrise to dusk!

Other Things to Note:
Bugs
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. Yes, these are roaches and are found pretty much everywhere outside in South Carolina but we like to call them Palmetto Bugs as it makes them sound nicer! They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated monthly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.

According to Eric Benson, Ph.D. professor and extension entomologist at Clemson University “It has nothing to do with cleanliness or the economic conditions of the area,” said Benson. “They could be around the nicest home or the nicest hotel or resort.”

If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare!

Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after!

Wonderful Experience
This place was a great place to stay! It is right on the beach so extremely convenient to walk downstairs and be almost right on the beach. We walked to restaurants and shops every afternoon and the Tiki Bar Hut is the best place to hear live music and is a ten minute walk down the beach. The interior of this place isn't fancy, but that isn't what we were there for. We didn't intend on spending much time in the room as there is so much to do in this area. There was coffee provided, soap, towels, beach towels and a cart to carry your things down to the beach easily. We most certainly would stay here again!

Nice good value condo right on the beach
A nice affordable condo right on the beach. Would be good for a couple or couple with a young baby but probably too small for a family.

Great place for the price
The condo is in a nice, quiet building with a beautiful view. 5 stars on the location for me! The condo itself is small but comfortable for 2 adults. We had issues with the door code at checkin but the property management company answered my call on the first ring and got us right in with no further issue. The kitchen is not very well stocked so if you are planning on cooking meals, you might keep that in mind. The condo smelled a bit like mildew upon first entry but once we opened the patio sliding door and aired it out, the smell dissipated. I would stay here again, its a great condo/location for the price point.

Girls Trip!!
Me and some girl friends wanted a beach vacation that was easy and fun, and this property was exactly what we needed and wanted! a quick walk to the beach and a nice pool when we wanted to be off the beach! the amenities were cute and unique which we loved!! My one and only critique is the "sofa bed" was not the type of sofa bed I imagined and what I think of for a sofa bed. It's the tops of the couch and you sleep long way on the couch instead of like a bed, the friend who slept in it said using extra pillows helped with comfort, but we brought an air mattress and that worked out a little better. Otherwise it was GREAT! beach chairs and buggy provided which came in handy and all the kitchen things you would need for a quick trip!! we would absolutely stay here again!! <3

Nice location but uncomfortable furniture
The living room furniture is basic at best and uncomfortable to sit on. The "pull out sofa" is not something anyone should sleep on. We actually bought air mattresses.

Not as expected
Arrived at property fine but once we entered the room it was all downhill. First thing we noticed was that the unit looked nothing like the pictures. The space was dirty, in need of repairs/updates and smelled musty. After 4 days of dealing with the smell we discovered it was coming from the A/C unit. We took off the cover and it was full of mold and dirt we then removed the bed skirt to find mold all down the side of the mattress. We contacted management which said they couldn’t get to it till the following day. So I went to the store and bought bleach cleaner to do it myself. Management showed up the next day, had a crew come change the sheets basically and offered no explanation for why the unit wasn’t cleaned before our stay, reimbursement of any kind or even a simple apology. Needless to say we will not be staying here again.

Quaint & Quiet
We enjoyed our stay. Quiet & friendly guest/residents. I will say looking at the pictures I assumed the 2 pools on the side of the condo were included instead of only having the one pool in the back of the condo. Condo does seem smaller than the pics & if you have tall kids they would not be comfortable on the bunk beds. It would be nice if there was a sleeper sofa. Other than that it was enjoyable & the management were pleasant. Very close to shops & restaurants which is great. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway for 2, than this is the perfect spot.

Great location nice but very small
We loved the location and the price. It’s smaller than it looks in the pictures. The bunk beds are toddler size. We used the air mattress for our two teenage girls but it took up the entire living room. The bathroom is very small. It would have helped if there was more storage, counter space, or shelving. Bring your own pillow. The pillows provided are very flat. I don’t normally complain Just wanted to help the next guest.

A good size for our family
Considering the size it was great for my family. The bunks were narrow but my children loved them. It would have been nice if there were some bins under for storage, but we managed. The overall place was clean and had some beach chairs, a wagon and games to accompany our stay. We would stay there again. The pool was heated which was a huge bonus and loved the location to the beach and pool. Lots of fun in the sun! The resort beside was an added bonus as there was a small restaurant that we could go to for poolside drinks and snacks.

ONE Bedroom / Sleeps FOUR
This rental sleeps FOUR max and is a ONE bedroom. IF two of the four are children under 12. There is a queen bed in the only bedroom that leaves just enough room around it to shuffle in and out. There are two tiny cot-like bunk beds in the hall. If your children are big enough to ride most rides at an amusement park or are the slightest bit claustrophobic they will NOT sleep. I thought it sleeps six? Read the description carefully. There is a defunct air mattress on the floor under the cot beds. Feel free to drag it out, dust it off, blow it up, move around the furniture and let your family members lay on the floor all night. Ironically the description says Just to undo it all each morning. Since the cots and blow up bouncy bed are afterthoughts, everyone’s phone charging cords become a formidable obstacle course you must navigate to get to the single bathroom. My personal best was only one yanked smartphone! There is a consistent mildew smell that is understandable as this rental was designed for a retired couple with occasional grand kids spending the night. Not turning 4-6 people in and out weekly. The only closet in the entire rental holds miscellaneous debris. Generally clean. Kitchen is fine. Nice beach access. Hilton next door gives you solid motivation to do better next time!

Great location and place to stay
Wonderful visit to Hilton Head Island and loved the location, proximity to shops, the beach and area attractions. The unit is as described and was great for our family. The balcony was great for relaxing. The pool was smaller than other properties near us but it was great for lounging in the sun. The property itself is older than neighboring properties but for the price and location, it is tough to beat.

Convenient and small but comfortable
Loved the price, loved the location. It was perfect for me and my partner but we noticed that it would be tight if you wanted to fit any more people (technically sleeps five I believe). We brought most of what we needed, but appreciated all the basics in the kitchen. It has wall unit ACs which were very effective at cooling but did make it smell damp on first impression. We got used to it and spent most of the time on the beach just steps away anyway!

The location along with ease of getting to the beach are awesome. The bedroom is in dire need of painting and the bathroom really needs to be updated. The door to balcony was hard to open and the balcony furniture is lacking and not comfortable. All are easily fixable items that would have made this a 5 star for me. But all in all we had a great stay!
