This former artist's home and studio has been transformed into a magnificent South Forest Beach, oceanside bungalow -- just a four-min. walk to the beach. It is the ideal, private setting for your casual family vacation.

A convenient laundry/utility room off the kitchen has a new, stackable washer/dryer.

The first master bedroom is three steps up from the living area and features a king bed, wall-mounted, flat-screen TV and a private full bath with an all-new, subway-tiled, zero-entry shower and bench. From this bedroom, sliding glass doors open directly onto to the private deck area and back yard. The second master bathroom -- formerly an artist's studio -- has a king bed, a flat-screen TV, and a writing area with desk and chair (plus additional storage in an upsized, double closet).

The home is at the end of a peaceful, cul-de-sac with ample parking in front and completely-private backyard off the deck area framed by tall, sea pines and traditional, palm trees. A private path behind the home leads you straight to the public beach path, and the ocean is a fast walk away across South Forest Beach Drive. The path leads to mile-marker 48, one of the least-busy, most-pristine sections of South Forest beach - ideal for swimming, cycling, strolling, and appreciating beach life.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Hilton Head vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hilton Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Hilton Head visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 3 bedroom/2 bathroom near ocean home with private pool close to beach access has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hilton Head vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, call the host before booking the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Hilton Head destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents quite a few issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
