About this villa rental
Welcome to “Heavenly Sands” at Island House Villa in South Forest Beach. Sit back, relax and enjoy our pirates and mermaids themed 2 Bedroom 2 Bath villa with just a ~10 minute walk to the beautiful beaches of Hilton Head Island. The Island House complex is in the heart of Hilton Head Island with many conveniences within walking distance. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk across the street to the grocery store located in a plaza with multiple dining and shopping options. Also, Coligny Plaza (Great atmosphere) is a short bike ride away or 10-15-minute walk. At Coligny, you can find an assortment of shops and dining areas along with ice cream and souvenir shops. There's also a "golf-cart" service that frequently drives in the area that works on tips only. Included in our pictures is a layout of the floor plan. The family room is equipped with a big screen TV and DVD player as is each bedroom but with smaller-sized TVs. The Master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and its own master bath. The Guest room has a full bed and a twin bed that can accommodate up to three guests comfortably. The second bath is adjacent to the bedroom. The dining area offers plenty of seating and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your long or short term stay. Recently installed, are all new stainless-steel kitchen appliances. Also, in the kitchen, there is a full sized washer and dryer. There's a full-sized coffee maker and a Keurig. We’ve provided books and games to pass your time away while relaxing at the villa. The unit does include WiFi. Island House Management/HOA allows ONE dog per a villa. We will consider 1 dog only and request that you bring a bed for them to rest so that we can keep the villa furniture clean for all guests. :-). This is NON NEGOTIABLE. For long term guests, a monthly pet fee will be applicable. We do not allow cats due to severe allergies within our household. We have 2 villas in the Island House Complex, so If you have plans to come with another family or your week is unavailable, please reference the VRBO ID 2124916. Both villas are flats located in the Island House complex on the second floor with no one above. Around the corner, located on property of the villa is a large spacious pool with plenty of lounge chairs and a bath house for you and all your guests to enjoy. The Van Der Meer Tennis facility is just steps away for the avid tennis player (They offer lessons and clinics). Also, just opened in December 2020, is the beautifully anticipated, Celebration Park! The island anticipates full use (full gathering, COVID-pending) by Spring of 2021 and its only a 5 minute walk from our villa. Hilton Head Island offers so much for outdoor living. There's an abundance of bike trails, plenty of golfing, tennis, fishing, and beaches that will interest everyone. The gorgeous shores of Hilton Head are just a short walk. Biking is one of our favorite family activities. Bring your own bike or rental locally from across the way. Bikes can be delivered right to your doorstep and the property has plenty of bike racks for you to use. Miles of trails will bring you hours of sightseeing and exercise throughout your stay. The island provides plenty of activities ranging from marine tours, aquatic adventures, fishing, golfing at its finest, shopping and fine dining for all. Don’t forget those days’ trips off the island. Hilton Head Island is less than an hour away from the nostalgic areas of Savanah, GA and Charleston, SC. There’s also plenty of putt-putt for all ages. There’s plenty of live entertainment & events, ice cream & candy shops, endless restaurants and cafes to choose from. The Splash Pad will make any kid’s day at the boardwalk! It leads to the public beaches with a beautiful walkway, bath houses, and rocker swings. It’s all about location and Island House is the perfect location, so conveniently located near everything! Whatever you choose to do while you’re here at Forest Beach, Island House, you’re sure to make plenty of memories at the “Heavenly Sands” villa.

The villa was clean and welcoming. The easy chairs in the living room and master bed were very comfortable. From the villa to the sand on the beach it is almost 1/2 a mile, which some may find "far to walk". For us, it was a perfect distance. We were having a hard time finding a dog friendly vacation rental and were happy to find Kim and Chris's place. The pool, though not open for swimming (In Feb) was close by and a wonderful place to get some sun even on a cool day because it was sheltered. Dining and Coligny Plaza are easy walking distance away. My only request would be to have more kitchen towels and the addition of beach towels.

Great location as far as walk to the beach and the shops at Coligney. Wished there was more of an outdoor space and pet relief area around the condo. Had everything you could want or need in the unit. Bed in the master was very comfortable. I normally have issues with my back when away. Did not in the 2 weeks we were there. We will be back!

Had a wonderful stay in this lovely condo in the heart of Hilton Head Island! The unit is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and to shopping and restaurants at Coligny Plaza. This nicely updated condo has a very well-appointed kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, two good sized bedrooms and two full baths. Internet access, TVs with DVD player and an assortment of DVDs and a variety of games are available. We really enjoyed the pirates and mermaids theme as well. The hosts were very attentive and provided a welcome packet with great information and recommendations for island restaurants and activities. We definitely recommend this for a couple or family, and our dog had a wonderful time as well! We plan to return next year--thank you for the hospitality!

My husband and I just spent a few days at Heavenly Sands. The condo is very comfortable and super convenient to the beach, restaurants, bike trails and stores. We loved riding our bikes around the area. The owner provided detailed info on stores, restaurants, and things to do around the area. We tried a few of the restaurant suggestions and they were spot on. We liked Hilton Head but it is very different at night as there are no street lights and the lights in parking lots and stores are not very bright. I get it is for the aesthetics I guess but it is very different that way.

This condo was my daughter's dream come to life. It was spacious, clean, and had the best mermaid and pirate decor that my daughter could not get enough of. Every statue and picture had a name, and she couldn't wait to show it all off via FaceTime to her grandparents. We had an amazing stay, and if we are in the area in the future we will definitely book again. Thank you!

The property was as described. 10 minute walk to the beach 10-15 minutes to Coligny Park. Pool is a less than 5 minute walk across the property. Would recommend renting bicycles. Communication with the host was excellent.

Property had everything that we needed. Close to restaurants/shops, grocery store and of course the beach. Keyed entry allowed us to come and go as small groups without worrying about a key. Quiet community felt safe and secure. Would definitely return.

We’ve stayed at this Island House condo multiple times, and love the location near the beach and Coligny. The condo is always clean, and Kim and Chris have been wonderful hosts who are highly communicative to check in and fix anything that needs fixing.
Highly recommend the stay!

The villa was very clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. It was within walking distance of the beach, good restaurants, and shopping. The grocery stores were a short drive away. The complex and pool area were well maintained and had good spots to walk our dog. The other tenants were very friendly. We would definitely visit again!

Condo was well kept and in very good condition. Short walk to the beach and very close to pool. Pet friendly which is a requirement for our HHI visits. Kim was very helpful via text when we had questions upon arrival. Only downside was that unit didn’t have an outside patio or balcony.

This is a nice condo in a location that is distance to the beach (thanks to the hosts for pointing out a closer public access than shows up on the maps) and restaurants. The hosts are very responsive and were very considerate when we had car trouble on our check out day. We were there in December so it wasn’t crowded which made for a lovely long weekend!
PS: We loved the keyless entry system!

This property was perfect. This was our third stay in Hilton Head and by far the best place we have stayed. Very clean, great location in walking distance of beach, coligny plaza and nice park for little ones. Hosts thought of everything and had great communication through the week.

Apartment was well equipped. We chose based on price, location, and baby/ child supplies available. The location was amazing - very close to beach, restaurants, and an amazing park for small children.
Place was pretty clean and had all the amenities you need for a week at the beach. Floors get really sandy really fast no matter how much you try to hose yourself off before coming inside, but there is a broom to sweep up after yourself Kitchen was cute and had all the supplies we needed to cook over the week (we didn’t try anything complicated). Decor was cute and typically beachy. The book selection (both kids and adults) was great and a nice touch!
Only drawback was that the baby/ child supplies were not bad but not great — high chair didn’t look like it had been used in a long time and was very dusty and dingy, found in the back of the closet with cleaning supplies. The travel crib (a pack and play) was hard to set up (suspect due to heavy use over years it just didn’t click into place easily) and we could not find a sheet for it. In retrospect, we should have brought our own items for cleanliness and usability.
Overall though, we would certainly stay again!

Great Time in Hilton Head
Property owners were informative and always available to answer questions and give suggestions. Check in was quick and extremely easy. The Villa was immaculate and what you see in the photos is exactly what you get. The Villa is a short walk to the beach and Coligny Center. All around great stay and I recommend to anyone interesting in visiting Hilton Head.

This property was perfect for our family to enjoy a week away. We were even able to that our fur baby with us. It is a short walk to the beach and shopping. We will certainly stay here again.

The property was lovely. Beautiful pool and villa. If you love to bike, Hilton Head is for you. Owners did not reach out after we arrived. We did not need anything but their email said they would. We did not rent bikes so we walked to the beach. Access was at the end of the street, cross traffic then down a long walkway and thru a dune. After a day at the beach it was exhausting. Overall, nice area and nice villa. Not a lot for teenagers to do.

Property is clean and well maintained, the property owners called and asked if we were comfortable, had any issues, and or needed anything. This property is conveniently located to the beach, Coligny shops, the Piggly Wiggly, ect...... We choose to walk everywhere because we are very familiar with the area, however the traffic in this area is rarely congested. There are also bike rentals as well as golf cart rentals very close.

Second floor renovated property in a small community with swimming pool. Very close to Coligny Beach and shopping area which is a great location if you like to be in the middle of the action on HHI. The inside of the property has been nicely updated and decorated, was very clean, and looked just like the pictures provided. Many additional items were available such as beach equipment, cleaning products, and various kitchen appliances/tools. Property manager was easy to work with. The community itself is older and is not kept up as nicely as the unit. There is a large swimming pool for guests to use and a dumpster to throw away trash. It is more like an apartment complex than a villa. The unit was very quiet though; we didn't hear anyone during our stay. Overall, this is a nicely renovated property in a popular location.
