Serenity By The 🌊 Sea
About this house rental
Welcome to your private piece of paradise. As our home is available only a few weeks in high season,( Saturday to Saturday check in), it is better appointed than any full time rental on the market. We are located only a few houses (6) from the best beach on Hilton Head Island and our home is lovingly furnished with our favorite finds from around the world. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BEACH HOUSE!Spacious (2300 sq ft), plus screened lanai, and additional decks, our smoke free home in Forest Beach features a large, open living space and a great separation of sleeping areas. NEW updates: A NEWER home (2017), with state of the art flooring; new kitchen and baths; 55 inch smart TV, Several new decks and screened lanai. New for 2023 a second screened porch overlooking pool! Luxury bedding and linens. 2020 New HVAC and new GPS in-duct air purifier. Upon awakening to the sound of tropical birds, we invite you to enjoy your morning tea or coffee with your daily paper on one of our decks. Relax in our FULL SIZE swimming pool! Our uncrowded beach also awaits and we have what you need; as we provide plenty of beach chairs, an umbrella, beach buggy and cooler for your use. An enclosed outdoor shower is located by the pool. Perhaps you prefer a stroll or bike ride the few short blocks on safe, shaded paths to Coligny Plaza; the center of activity on the island. There you will find over 60 convenient shops, restaurants and activities. Our grandkids love their daily walk up there. Had enough? Then return to the quiet, private neighborhood. There is even a free beach golf cart trolley that you can call or wave down to help get tired families back home. It truly is the best of both worlds at Serenity by the Sea where location, and convenience dovetail into serene space.

The house couldn’t have been nicer and the owners were incredibly accommodating. Everything was thought of! It’s very close to the beach and the kids all loved the pool. We have stayed at several other VRBO’s and this was far and away the best!

The picture don’t do it justice everything was better than expected we would definitely stay here again our whole family was very impressed with the home
5.0
Our family of 6 adults and 2 children stayed here very comfortably. It was great that the living space was separated from the bedrooms which allowed for kids to sleep. The house is just a few steps from the beautiful beach! The downtown area is about a 15 min walk from the house, but there are sidewalks the whole way. I would stay here again in the future!

This home was perfect for our groups vacation! Perfect proximity to both the beach and Coligny! The first thing we noticed was how welcoming our host was and how homey it was there. Gorgeous decor, stocked well with all necessary supplies (laundry, toiletries, kitchen) and plenty of space both inside and out. During our rainy days we spent plenty of time in the two screened in porches. We also spent plenty more time in the gorgeous pool on our sunny days! We were so happy to stay here, thank you for sharing your home with us!

The house was perfect and absolutely beautiful. So spacious where we did not feel on top of each other with our group of 8. The pool was a huge hit and the beach was just a short walk away. Perfect location overall and I would be thrilled to stay here again in the future.

This is a great place for a beach getaway. The house is well equipped with everything needed and a few unexpected luxuries. The house has plenty of room to spread out, but enough privacy that you can still find a quiet corner to read. The beach is a short walk away. There is a nice screened porch and private pool for relaxing after the beach. Coligny is close, and you can use the bike paths to access all the best parts of Hilton Head. Overall, it is a great location, great house, great host.

Great location and great house
The house is well maintained and close to the beach and shops. The owners leave extra spices, cooking spray, etc. for guests to use which is a nice touch and unexpected. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, tupperware, pans, etc. The screened in porch adds another area when families need to space out. Loved having a quiet coffee/breakfast out there every morning. Very pleased with this rental and owners go above and beyond.

We loved our stay at this house and it is a perfect house for families. The photos really didn’t show how great it was and the owners were very easy to work with. Couple things we would highlight:
- We appreciated the close access to the beach and that it wasn’t overly crowded with a very short walk.
- This house has about ever amenity you could possibly need and makes for easy packing. We appreciated all the beach chairs/umbrella, gas grill, cooler/Ice maker, and wagon.
- The pool was great and very clean when we arrived. It was a perfect size and much bigger than we expected. The deck was a perfect spot to sit and watch the kids swim and a safe place for young children with a locked gate.
We hope to be back soon!

Serenity by the Beach!
Beautiful, spacious and functional home close and easy walk to the beach, and close to Coligny shops. Great pool with sun and shade. Owner and property manager are very nice and responsive. Definitely recommended!

The location to the beach was a short walk away! The house was beautiful and was fully equipped with everything you would need! I loved that we didn’t have to bring anything with us for the beach because they had several chairs, umbrellas and wagons to carry everything to the beach! The pool was fabulous as well as the flowers and decor! I would totally stay here again if we go to Hilton Head next year!

Excellent Beach Vacation Home
We had a wonderful stay. One of the things my husband and I kept repeating to each other over the week was, "They (the owners) thought of everything." We had everything we needed to have a relaxing family vacation.

Great place for a family vacation

Great House
This was the best beach house we have ever rented. It was very spacious with a lot of comfortable seating options—two great couches, two wonderful recliners and several other seating choices. The beds were awesome—super comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed plus more. The beach chairs that were provided were top quality and the wagon and tote to take everything to the beach was such an added bonus. The pool proved to be very popular. Overall you cannot find a better house than this one. The owners and Angie could not be any nicer. Book this one!!

Beautiful house; great owners
This is our second summer renting this awesome property and we're prepared to do it again. Day starts with a short, easy walk to the beach followed by an afternoon in the pool. Owner provides all the beach equipment we need so our packing job is easier. Easy walk for ice cream & shops in the evening. We love your adorable home-it has everything to make your vacation enjoyable. Our children are older now and love the extra space that your home provides. We enjoy the quietness this area offers. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Book It!!!!
In response to Susan L
1. Susan should learn how to use a camera. I don’t recall anywhere in the description the owner claiming light capacities.
2. The standard practice BEFORE you book a place is to check out the uploaded photos. If Susan actually did that, there wouldn’t be a complaint.
3. Nowhere in the description does the owner make claims about a bathtub in the master bedroom.
4. The master bathroom is off the bedroom. There is another bathroom and shower across the hall. Susan again can’t get her story straight. And there IS a tub in the other bathroom.
5. The beds are real beds of excellent quality.
6. One recliner had a quilt. Susan makes up problems that don’t exist.
7. As far as hanging long summer dresses, inside the master bedroom there are hangers provided. Perhaps Susan should put the bottle down and look around a bit. My wife hung her three dresses up.
8. If Susan looked at the photos she would have known what the furniture looked like.
9. The family room and adjoining living room is long and spacious. Can’t imagine why she would describe it as small.
10. The screened in porch overlooks the neighbors’ yards and path to the beach. NO claims are made that it overlooks the pool area. Once again, Susan complains about something that was not stated by the owner.
11. As for construction, the owner has ZERO control when projects for other people’s homes start or finish. Yes, across the street the house was being remodeled but it had zero impact on us.
Do you see a pattern with Susan? She’s a liar. It’s entirely pathetic yet predictable with people like Susan who don’t look at what they’re renting before they purchase then try to destroy somebody’s hard earned reputation by fabricating lie after lie. But of course pathological liars don’t ever see it that way. Clearly Susan has her own issues.
This is a beautiful house and is exactly as advertised. The kitchen is new and well stocked. The screened in porch was a great feature to relax or have breakfast. The pool is large, clean and well lit. There is a large wooden deck overlooking the pool. The walk to the beach is less than two minutes. The rooms are large and roomy. The master shower is huge. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be back next year!
Do yourself a favor, ignore Susan's nonsense.
Sincerely,
Jeff D.

Perfect for a True family get away!
We were so pleased with this rental home and the owners. As parents to three small boys the divided hallway from the bedrooms and the living room was great to allow the adults some time to hang out and have good conversation while not disturbing the kids at bedtime. The pool was the perfect size for us to have a night time swim or a quick dip from the hot beach and surprisingly - even with all the great shade - still gave ample sunlight. The kitchen was beautifully upgraded and in a convenient location to the outside and screened in porch. And we can not forget the great walk or bike ride to the beach, My husband and I are very athletic and were able to make a quick run on the beach happen every morning- thanks to grandparents staying with the kids. Its convenient location to Coligny Plaza was outstanding and we frequently rode our bikes in the evenings for live music and ice cream. We had one hiccup with the pool, but the Brolley's did everything in their power to ensure it didn't take away from our vacation, including getting us a room at a near by hotel just so my kids could use the pool even though it was only for a couple hours!! Their quick response and sense of urgency was very delightful and in some ways unexpected as they didn't live near by. We can't wait to visit again!

Worst house EVER. Been to island 30 times. Executive couple.
This house is very, very dark and located by TWO construction sites which the owner failed to mention. It literally photographs with the same amount of natural light at 8 am versus 7 pm. It is an elderly couple's home who move out for high season to rent to friends & family who write great reviews. It is decorated as such complete with an old non-operable walk-in tub and the master sink is located in the bedroom which is nothing short of awkward and disturbing to anyone trying to sleep. The only bathtub is literally 18 inches deep. None of the "beds" are actual beds but are air mattresses on metal frames with no headboards/sideboards which are quite unstable and uncomfortable. Recliners are covered in quilt blankets that look to catch leaky bladders and they lock up every closet (and more) in the house for the personal things while they temporarily move out. The only one open closet is the utility closet with the water heater and it can not hold a single long summer dress. We have friends on the island and come regularly so we are usually there for events like a wedding or graduation. I literally had nowhere to hang my formal dress. Fortunately, it was just me and my spouse, so I laid it on one of the spare bedroom air mattresses. The garage is packed with their real furniture and belongings. We took pictures of the broken drawers and mismatched furniture. You are not renting a beautiful home. When we questioned the owner about the discrepancies, she replied she reported it as comfortable. The kitchen is separate from the small family/living room but it has been remodelled. The screened in room overlooks the construction, not the swimming pool, so don't be fooled into thinking this is a comfortable place to sit. Even without the double construction, there is just the street below that lacks a view of anything interesting. The owner did say we could leave the following day as she had a friend coming to the island but we couldn't find any other place on a Saturday night and every legitimate place was closed on Sunday. When we found a place on Monday, the owner made a ridiculous offer to keep the majority of our money and sent her friend/property manager to the home UNANNOUNCED to clean the locked closets as if we wanted to do that or have the refrigerator repair guy there on vacation. I guess if we weren't there she would have came right on in. This is the worse house ever. Buyer beware of friendly reviews.

Wonderful!
We have nothing but good things to say about the house, location, owners, etc. The house exceeded expectations and the owners are wonderful - in contact with us about everything and immediately responsive to questions and/or concerns (not that there were any concerns).
We look forward to returning again in the future:)

Absolutely beautiful!
This home is like a home away from home! It has everything one could ever need! Very close walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants and the pool is a great amenity!
The owners and property managers are extremely attentive and quick to respond to any needs. My 4yo son left his new stuffed animal at the house the morning we left. Within 1-2 hours of me emailing the owners, he was on his way back home. The property manager went above and beyond to send me pictures to show him that he was safe and on his way (Including a picture in the car with a seat belt on and at the post office going into the package!). TOTAL life saver!!
Highly recommend!!

Amazing place to stay at Hilton Head Island!
This was the perfect vacation rental for our family (adults and 2 babies). We enjoyed being so close to the beach, bike bath, and numerous restaurants and shops. As mentioned in previous comments, pictures do not do this house justice. It is so spacious with great outdoor living areas. It also has every amenity you could possibly need, which made packing a lot lighter. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this vacation rental. We would love to rent it again in the future!

Amazing Vacation Rental
Wow! What an awesome vacation rental! We fell in love with this place while searching for a rental place. When we arrived at the end of June, we were extremely happy with this home. Thanks Anne and Jim for opening up and sharing your gorgeous home with us. We loved the layout and quiet location! The walk to the beach was very short and easy. The beach location was not crowded which we enjoyed! For our family of 5 (with 3 teenagers), we had plenty of room. The pool was awesome! The evening meals on the screened porch were fabulous. We didn't lack in anything. Angie was very prompt with our toaster and pool issues. We loved going to Shelter Cove and Harbor Town in the evenings. They had many activities for the family. The bike trails & rides on the beach were amazing. Thanks for providing the beach wagon, umbrella, & beach chairs. It was nice not to have to pack those bulky items that take up so much room in the car. We were so sad to leave but hope to return next summer.

Perfect Place for a Hilton Head Vacation
This was our first time in Hilton Head and using VRBO and we couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The home is well suited for families of all ages. There were 7 of us which included our 2 year old grandson. The owners even had a pack n play so our daughter didn't have to bring this along. There is so much to do in the area and we used our rented bikes all the time. The house is in a quiet neighborhood while the activities were just a few blocks away.
We would highly recommend renting this house for your next stay in Hilton Head. The week went way to fast!!
