This former artist's home and studio has been transformed into a outstanding 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 huge 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.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hilton Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hilton Head area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hilton Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom 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 rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
