Beautiful home and great location. Short walk or bike ride to the beach.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week of fun and relaxation. The house is amazing and the location is perfect! We all loved the pool, outdoor kitchen area and playing arcade games. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! The Connors and Macks

Our family of 6 (3 generations) had an amazing stay at this property! The location was amazing just a short walk/bike ride to the beach, restaurants, general store and other amenities! We LOVED riding bikes around the community and especially on the beach! Thanks to Mike for the Bike Doctor recommendation (delivery and pkup of bikes couldn’t have been easier). The interior of house itself as well as the amenities was perfect for our family as was the spectacular outdoor living space. With the bar, pool area overlooking the lagoon, we were often content to just hang there and enjoyed a lot of QFT just floating in the pool and enjoying the view (including the 2 harmless alligators we affectionately named). Mike was a great host and attentive to our needs! Some outdoor lighting around the pool and outdoor living space would be a nice addition (for both safety and enjoyment) but all in all, we highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!! Book with confidence … you won’t be disappointed!

This is one of our all time favorite places to stay. Mike, the owner, is extremely attentive and helpful. The home was stunning and beautifully appointed. From the excellent renters closet of beach gear to The Sweets recommended dining spots made for the perfect trip. We will be back.

We absolutely loved this house. We hosted thanksgiving with extended family and couldn’t have pictured a better day. We played cornhole (provided by the house) in the backyard, had football on inside, had a fire at night by the fire pit, and had music playing with Alexa outside. Fully equipped for a great time. Nestled in the back of Palmetto Dunes but not a bad walk to the beach access and Cocos down the beach! Can’t wait to stay here again. Owners are great people and so accommodating. Definitely recommend!!!

We enjoyed staying at Mike's home very much. It was well stocked, comfortable, and spacious. We have two going children, so we especially appreciated the "one level living". Mike was extremely communicative throughout our stay, and we really loved seeing all the wildlife from the backyard.

It is rare these days that our whole family gets the chance to be together and even rarer still that its for an extended vacation. We hadn’t been to the beach as a group in several years so we were beyond excited to finally spend some quality time together on the beautiful island of Hilton Head. To add to the excitement was the fact that we had booked a gorgeous house complete with swimming pool, outdoor patio area, incredible kitchen, and stunning views of the lagoon located right in the backyard. The private community that the house is located in, Palmetto Dunes, had easy access to the beach (a ten minute walk past gorgeous southern homes, golf courses and canals) and ample bike trails leading into town that the kids and my husband greatly enjoyed. This was our first vacation with our grandchild and being in a house with all the amenities took of the stress out of planning for us. Mike was an excellent host and was exceptional when it came to communication. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay on HH that doesn’t feel like every other generic rental house, look no further than the Sweet’s Retreat!

You know it’s a hit when the twenty-somethings are ready to rebook for the following summer ! Quiet, clean and a perfect backyard setting. Best set of kitchen supplies we’ve ever had in a rental! Equipped with anything you need throughout the entire house- towels, tvs, laundry room, games- all make this a complete package. Loved the pool and beach supplies. Great information and contact from the owners. Just bring your family.

I spent a week with my family at the Sweet’s home and it was even more than we could have asked for. The location is perfect with just a short 12ish minute walk to the beach. The pool and yard are fantastic, we fell in love with the view. Especially from the four seasons room! What the photos don’t show are the kitchenette and second full size fridge/freezer in the four seasons room. For a large group, there is ample fridge space for all your needs. The grill is well maintained and there are extra propane tanks as needed. The beach gear and supplies available to renters are in great shape, which is not always the case at a rental property. We didn’t have the best weather, but had no complaints hanging out in the four seasons room playing games and doing puzzles. We saw lots of turtles, birds and alligators in the pond. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials. I highly recommend staying here and hope to be back with my family or friends soon!

The whole experience at The Sweet's Retreat was everything we hoped for our family vacation. The home was very clean and neat. So many amenities were included like beach chairs, towels, pool floats, noodles and more. Would highly recommend this property for your next vacation.

This property is an incredible family vacation home -- I say home and not rental because it really did feel like home for the week that we were here! We have been renting beach houses for 12 years and this was by far the best experience we have had all around -- with the property itself, with the owner (Mike is the absolute best - so friendly and caring), and with the neighborhood/area. We loved how clean and organized the house was, and all the thoughtful little details in and around the house really made the difference for us - every time we turned a corner we thought, "oh wow, they thought of that!" The setting out back with the private pool and grill was absolutely lovely, and we are already wishing we could go back. Wonderful family memories were made here.

We thought the home was updated very nicely. It was really great that all beach accessories were provided. The digital code worked out very well and the property owner checked in with us several times during the week.

This house!!!! We can't say enough! It's so clean and cozy! The kitchen is fully stocked! Beds Comfy! And the Pool area was so relaxing! Our girls LOVED the outdoor shower and used it nightly! The shed that comes FULLY stocked with games, pool floats, wagons, umbrellas, chairs...and again a fan favorite...the oversized BEACH MAT! WE didn't need to worry about a thing. Ya'll thought of everything and made our trip the best! The sun room/game room was also a huge hit! The walk to the beach was 12 minutes on the dot! And was a beautiful easy walk - we loved Palmetto Dunes, and have stayed in here several times but this house was our FAVE! WE can't wait to come back!!!

Only rent this home if you want a beautiful house in a great neighborhood that is fully stocked for your beach adventure. The house is spotless, well organized, fully maintained. The couch/unbrella around the pool is sooo comfortable and the private outdoor shower was a hit for everyone. The wildlife around the lagoon was a wonder to watch.

The house was exactly as described, so comfortable and all the kitchen amenities you could need. The extra refrigerator in the sunroom was a great bonus for beverages. What exceeded all our expectations was the back yard. It was so beautiful and comfortable. We loved using the pool and sitting outside watching the birds, turtles, deer and a few gators. We highly recommend this property the Sweets were great to work with and everything was perfect.

We enjoyed staying here in April. We paid to heat the pool and swam every day. The house was comfortable (beds, sheets, shower water pressure, couches). We loved the view out back / the animal watching was especially amazing. Kitchen had the items we needed to cook all meals and we used the grill out back too. We would stay here again and we very rarely feel that way about any rental. Mike was especially helpful during a storm with our car. He was quick to respond / available. Highly recommend! We biked to the beach and it’s quick - street was quiet.

We completely enjoyed our stay at this Hilton Head Island property and would stay there time and time again. Our family was impressed with the accommodations and peacefulness of the neighborhood. We spent hours and hours in the back yard - swimming, fishing and taking in the beauty. An easy and beautiful 10 minute walk to the beach was added bonus, which we enjoyed versus the more congested public beach accesses. Mike was very assertive and made us feel at home. Our family looks forward to visiting this "heaven on Earth" accommodations again!

Could not be more perfect! Location, beautiful home, owners wonderful, too good to be true!

We have been booking homes via VRBO for almost 20 years and this was our favorite rental EVER!! Mike's house is beautiful and has all the amenities you could ever need or want. We loved the pool and swam every day. It is a short walk to the ocean and we loved not having to pack beach items since towels, chairs and beach toys were all provided. The beds were all super comfortable and the bathrooms were spacious and clean. Mike was great to work with and was always available for questions. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this rental to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation in Hilton Head.

Mike was a great host. Very communicative. The property is wonderful and has all of the amenities you need to stay. The private pool was fabulous. We did pay extra to have it heated as weather was only in the high 60's low70's. Great place to stay in Hilton Head.

From the moment you walk into Mike’s beautiful home, you feel instantly welcomed. The house is immaculate and stocked with everything you’d ever want or need. The home’s vibe is all about relaxation, from the larger-than-average pool size, to the outdoor grill/wet bar area to the Florida/gaming room, Mike has thought of everything so all you have to do is enjoy. Mike was very accommodating with a couple special requests we had prior to our trip, which we greatly appreciated. We only left the house for the gorgeous 7-minute walk to the beach. You’ll love Sweet’s Retreat!

This was a beautiful home in a great location. We couldn’t ask for a better experience overall. We loved the outdoor kitchen area and sun porch.

Excellent!!

Excellent!!

This is now our FAVORITE property in HH. Everything about it is absolute Perfection ! The house is Beautiful, the beds and furniture are comfy and the ouside area is pure Paradise not counting the closed in porch and deck area with bar and grill. Pictures truly dont do it justice. With the beautiful pool and a tranquil view of the lagoon (even while in the pool ) made our Vacation perfect! Not counting having all the pool and beach extras. This really is a Special place! We are soThankful Mike is willing to share it with us. Mike was also just terrific with suggestions and answering any questions. Cannot wait to go back. Blessings to U ....The Smiths

We love the Sweet Retreat! This was our second family stay here and it was excellent. The house is very clean, comfortable, an easy walk to the beach, and a close bike ride to Kroger/Whole Foods/Barnacle Bill's Seafood. We love the lagoon view, comfortable beds, stocked kitchen/grill, locker of beach toys, beautiful neighborhood location, screen porch, and private pool. We will see you again next year for more family memories! :)

Loved the house especially the screened in porch. The property was great. The pool and outside area were spacious. I have stayed on both the North and South sides of Palmetto Dunes and the rental properties on the North side are better maintained. Mike was great. He stayed in touch from beginning to end. Next time I go back I will contact Mike to see if his house is available.

We had a great time at 17 Full Sweep. Mr Sweet took care of anything that came up during our stay and was so easy to work with. The pool is amazing and was the highlight of our stay. We choose to walk to walk 10 minutes to the beach for the most part but we did see the Dunes Buggy picking up other families so that is an option as well. The wildlife was also really cool to watch right out our back door. We saw several gators, turtles (one my 3 year old affectionately named Broccoli), numerous birds and deer. We would definitely book this house again!
