We enjoyed staying here - the weather last week was cold and rainy, but we had plenty of space to spread out and did not feel on top of each other.

Great house and location

House was nice but not as clean as i would expect. spider webs, dusty floors, and porch rocking chairs were really dirty.

The house was clean, roomy, and pet friendly. It is also gorgeous, yet comfortable. You don't feel like you are in someone else's million dollar plus home, you feel like you are in your own home. Located steps to the beach, along with the pool, makes this house a great get away. I didn't want to leave. Highly recommended!

Close to the beach. 3 bathrooms and hot water for all at the same time!

The location is wonderful! Dead end street, short walk to beach and close to airport, restaurants, grocery etc. The pool is great when it does not have algae. I would change pool maintenance people!!

The house accommodated two families with 5 kids total comfortably, including a table where we could all squeeze in together. The entrance to the beautiful beach was two blocks away (and then a path to the sand that was about another block). There was a beach cart and chairs provided - very convenient. The pool was very nice too. Everything worked great for us in the house. It is a large home and there’s the usual hard-to-clean spots, but in general the house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We had a great time and we would certainly rent this place again.

Check-in was no issue. However, the code for the beach gate was wrong and we had to wait all day for the correct code to access the beach. We wasted a whole day!
Wi-Fi was very slow and the Hargrave technician did show up until three days later. He couldn’t fix the issue as the owners only pay for a min. Package at the lowest speed. So I had to go to Starbucks to download and stream my work.
Then cockroaches showed up in the kitchen and bedroom. Huge ones! Unacceptable again!
Outdoor and fixtures very old and poorly maintained.
Not worth the money spent.

Took an intergenerational family trip with ages ranging 5 to 83. The spaces were perfect for that set up. Checking in and out were simple and the property manager was very communicative and responsive. The property has everything you need including size and location, but it’s a bit tired with obvious but not-a-big-deal maintenance and cleaning issues. The turnover cleaning was fine, but those once a month type deeper cleanings definitely needed a more frequent rotation (dust, grime on high touch surfaces and faucets, hinges and doors off track/alignment, peeling/cracked wall finishes). The property manager took note and was willing to fix during our visit, but with a short stay we declined as they weren’t materially impacting our stay. Overall I’d still recommend this property.

We spend a 4 day weekend in this home and had a blast. The kids loved the pool and the home was spacious and needs were comfortable. A bit dated and some small things in need of repair, but overall very nice accomodations and would stay again. A minor inconvenience is that the gate code to the beach wasn't working and we had to email to get another, but those sort of things are bound to happen from time to time.

So this was our 4th time staying at the beautiful house.. but this time we didn't had a great time , as soon as we arrived we noticed that the pool was turning green and the stove wast working. So we call someone to try and solve the problem and we'll the stove , we left (arrived last Saturday so no stove for a week just a small counter top electric stove that they gave us that wouldn't even be hot enough to make breakfast for our 5 kids ) morning and still wasn't working & the pool well our kids didn't get in till Wednesday around noon. So in other words we wasn't able to enjoy the pull for the first 4 days , it was kinda of a deal breaker for our kids !

Our weekend stay in Hilton head was perfect. This house had everything we needed and then some. Clean, and fully loaded. The house was stunning, plenty of room and pet friendly. We have saved this house for our next stay in Hilton Head.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the house. I had family members from different states all come together and stay in the house. There were eleven of us total and my dog. Unfortunately the first thing I noticed when I pulled up to the house was the large amount of trash that was apparently left from the people before us. There were beach toys and such in an unorganized pile outside near the bottom of the stairs leading up to the house. The propane tank was empty when we arrived and the stove/oven did not work. Someone had left portable burners on top of the stove for us to use, so I assumed that they were aware that the stove itself was not working. I didn't arrive until later on Saturday evening, so I called Sunday morning and did speak with someone about the propane and the stove/oven. They did send someone over with a new propane tank within a few hours and they told us that someone would be over to check the stove/oven. I was sent a text message apologizing for the inconvenience and told that they would reimburse us for lunch that day. I asked when someone would be there to check the stove/oven and was told a part was ordered and should be there within a day or two. No one ever came to fix it. We ended up eating out at least once or twice every day, which was not what I wanted to do because it's obviously more expensive. I was told that they would reimburse me for meals until the issue was resolved. Since it never was, I sent receipts to the email address I was given. I was reimbursed a portion of what I submitted.
The furniture outside could definitely use some upgrades. One of the chair cushions even had a hole from a cigarette burn. The only other issue was the amount of scum built up along the bottom of the shower walls in the master bathroom.
Other than those issue, we enjoyed our stay at Hilton Head and in the house. The pool was great!

Loved the location: close to beach and a private pool. Kitchen is very nice and well equipped. Plenty of dining space. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the screened porch area too because buds were very busy.

The house was just beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. Highly recommend staying here! Such a close walk to the beach and the pool is just the right size and temperature. The house was clean and well stocked for all your needs. Close by all stores, entertainment, attractions and the airport too. Definitely would stay here again if we came back to HiltonHead, SC!

By reading the past reviews we were willing to try this listing out since the it had been some time since the last review. This house has so much potential but stays at the “bare minimum” required for renting. Or it appears that the owner maintains just enough to get by. It has a great location and lots of room on the property. It’s somewhat still outdated with vcrs and corded phones and a stereo. The carpet desperately needs to be replaced (there was what appeared to be fresh dog pee upstairs in one of the bedrooms) along with the bathroom tile (cracked and some kind of weird brown paint/stain.) The shower portions in the downstairs guest bath and upstairs guest bath would not work. There were stains all over the bedding in one of the bedrooms upstairs. The closet in the guest bedroom was completely off the track hanging (we attempted to fix it.) The trim in the house is damaged (like a dog tried to chew it). The porch steps in front and the back of the house are very worn and loose. The pool was filthy when we arrived along with toys etc scattered everywhere and the pool net used to clean the pool has a huge hole in it so it completely defeats the purpose of using it. The pool patio really needs a good deep clean. We only had one large trash bag (that was placed in the can prior to our arrival) but couldn’t find anymore in the house. So BYOT( bring your own trash bags.) Overall it was an okay stay. We LOVE Hilton Head but will stay somewhere else next time.

This was a perfect home and location for our family. It was far more than we needed and beyond our expectations! With all of the reviews I was nervous that the house would not be clean or up-to-date. It was absolutely spotless and beyond our expectations. The house is much bigger then we expected! We are so thankful we stayed at this location. It is a short walk from the beautiful private beach and ocean, the neighborhood is perfect for bike riding, and the pool was just what our family needed! When we had questions/needs, the staff were quick to respond. Highly recommend:) If the price is right, we will be renting again!

This house is great for a large family. The house was very comfortable and clean. The outside could use some cleaning and upkeep. It is private but in an ideal location to get where you need to go in HHI! You cannot beat the short walk to the beach. It's just down the road! The pool was very nice and the outdoor area was wonderful for relaxing. We had a nice stay.

Second time we stay in this house this year . & we love how convenient to everything is. But it needs some work with the cleanliness & also cleaning the grill on the deck . As we try to use it but it was so nasty that we decided to pass on the steak night ! Other then that we can't wait to plan our next vacation to HH to this very same house

Dirty house… unloved for sure.
Holes in couch and living room chairs.
Outside porch and walls filthy.
Extra charge for dogs is unacceptable.
Not dog friendly — no fence!

We were very disappointed with the condition of this house upon arrival. Quite honestly, it needs so much attention that it should not be on the rental market until things are taken care of. It needs a complete overhaul inside and out. Cleanliness issues inside and out. Power washing, exposed irrigation lines throughout front yard, walkway from drive, and front and rear steps are all in need of attention. The home was not clean upon arrival, holes in furniture, dishwasher broke the first time we used it and the air conditioning went out. The property manager tended to each of our calls, however the overall condition of this home is unsatisfactory. Walking proximity to the beach was great and the kids enjoyed the pool.

Home is nice but dated. The house would benefit from SMART TV's and music systems. It's time to get rid of the DVR player, small TV, CD player and old school phones. Furnishings are OK. Dining room table, family room couch need replacement.

Loved the location - very convenient to beach, restaurants, bike trails. Furnishings need some updates for torn upholstery, bedspreads with holes (found a better blanket to replace one with holes). In spite of this, we thoroughly enjoyed out stay.

This home needs lots of TLC! I wished I had packed my pressure washer and tool box. It appears that it was once a very lovely home. The back stairs to the yard really need to be replaced. Several of the boards were completely unattached and others had nails sticking up. As much as my grand boys like to go barefoot I knew that was gonna be a problem so I called Vacasa. A very nice gentleman came and knocked all the nails down and screwed down the loose boards. The pool had a ring of green slime on the tiles. Again I called Vacasa and the pool company sent a nice guy to clean and shock the pool. The interior is not so bad. They do need a new couch and arm chair. There is a big hole in the sofa arm which is covered up by an arm cover. The carpet in the bedrooms really needs to go. The master bedroom carpet has ripples and tears. The plastic strip on the bottom of the shower door is brown with moldy gunk. I have the same issue at home but I slide it off and clean it periodically! Don’t plan on using the fold out mattresses on the sofa and loveseat. They smell awful! The washer and dryer are older. The lint filter on the dryer is bent and broken. The mattress in the master bedroom was very comfortable so no complaint there! Underneath the house is wet and there is no mulch or rocks to cover the black dirt. The pool deck is very stained. It needs to be pressure washed and painted. The house really needed to be taken off the rental market this past winter and all these issues addressed so it would be ready for summer. Just be aware that the pictures you see on the listing must have been taken awhile back! I did like that it is on a dead end street and the neighborhood is quiet. We made the best of it and enjoyed our week.

We had a good vacation. The location of this house is excellent! The layout is great! There were four in our group so we had plenty of space.
There is a pool and had it been in working order it would have been fine. I did call the management company and they did respond quickly. They sent someone to fix the pool on Monday. Waited for a part to come for Wednesday, they came late Thursday to fix the pool. Checkout on Saturday. Not great.
The outside of the house needs to be power washed. The inside completely repainted. It absolutely requires new living furniture. The living room furniture had holes in it, the outside furniture was not what was in the pictures on VRBO. Outside furniture was rusted and legs were broken.
I did talk to the agent and again they were responsive. Apologized, gave an explanation, and offered 10% discount on future rental. They said they would call back to see what they could do, no call! I do not want a discount on a future purchase when you haven’t delivered on my first purchase!
This house could be great or if left as is, well a disaster.
