Private vacation home

This former artist's home and studio has been transformed into a excellent South Forest Beach, oceanside bungalow -- just a four-min. walk to the beach. It is the ideal, private setting for your casual family vacation. By day, recline in Adirondack chairs on a new, 800-square-foot private deck and pool area shaded by palm trees and towering sea pines. By nighttime, have a family BBQ under the stars and listen to the surf from the beach.

Enter the home and step into a sunny, open floor plan with 12- foot ceilings and bright skylights overhead. Take three steps down and enter the main living area furnished with two classic canvas couches, two comfortable chairs, and an internet-enabled, flat-screen TV. The dining area seats eight and overlooks the living area. The kitchen is entirely equipped for all your cooking needs with brand new stainless steel appliances and granite counter-tops. From the kitchen, a sliding-glass door opens to the enormous deck with a second outside dining area with seating for six, complete with gas grille and colorful umbrella. 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). Off the main hallway, there is a a third bedroom with a queen bed, and a additional-room, den with a twin trundle bed. The second full bathroom has all new fixtures, granite counter-tops with an all-new, tiled shower and tub; this bathroom is accessible from the second master bedroom and the main hallway.

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. Only a 5 min. walk to the beach. Conveniences Include: Private Pool; 800-square foot Private Deck; Gas Grille; High-Speed, Wireless Internet; 3 Internet-Enabled, Intelligent Flat-screen TVs; DVD Player; Roku and YouTubeTV Apps (60+ sports, movie, and news channels plus DVR); Ample Off-Street Parking; Artwork by Jorey Hurley.

How to find the best Hilton Head rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

Summer is high season in the Hilton Head area. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a max budget.
Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. 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 rental home search.
Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
If there's an individual Hilton Head destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
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 rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local attractions.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
