Summer trip
The house was perfect. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Well-stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook a meal. The pool is incredible! The yard had great wildlife viewing with the lagoon in the backyard. Easy and enjoyable bike ride to everywhere in Sea Pines. The rooms in the house are larger than they appear in the online photos.This was the best house we’ve stayed in over decades of vacations to HHI.

Great experience
This was our third stay at this house, but first since 2018. The house is super clean and the kitchen is extremely well-stocked. The bikes and two beach wagons were great to have. In addition, the house has an assortment of pool and beach toys, 5-6 beach chairs, and 2 boogie boards. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the short ride to the beach. John, the property manager, was great too. We didn't have any issues, but we appreciated the info he provided prior to our trip and him reaching out to see how things were going.

One of the best houses we’ve stayed in!
We’ve been coming to Sea Pines for over 35 years and this is one of the best houses we’ve stayed in. Very clean and beautiful inside. We loved how well the kitchen was stocked! The pool was an absolute hit and the location couldn’t have been better. 3 min ride to the beach and 12 min to South Beach and Harbour Town! The garage was amazing! Bikes provided and plenty of beach chairs with umbrellas! We will definitely be back next year!

Wonderful and relaxing vacation
The property was as expected and more. A very cute home on the outside and beautifully decorated on the inside. The kitchen is well stocked, and the living space is very comfortable. We loved the master bedroom/bath, and the rooms were spacious. We very much enjoyed staying at this home and would consider it again for future stays.
The garage is stocked with beach conveniences, such as bikes, chairs, wagons and even toys for the little ones. Bikes were very much appreciated for exploring along the bike paths! And it was only a brisk 10-minute walk to the beach.
Prior to our arrival, we were informed of some weather-related issues at the house from a recent storm. The property manager and crew were very committed to getting the issues resolved and were a pleasure to work with.

Perfect place for a family vacation
Gorgeous house and pool in an ideal location! Our family of five (3 sons) had the best time - less than 5 mins to bike to the beach, quiet neighborhood but still easy to bike to Harbortown or South Sea Pines for fun. Loved the beach bike cart for carrying chairs & tons of beach towels! Plenty of tv’s for various viewers and absolutely amazing kitchen - we wanted for nothing. Thanks Kane Family!!

Great Location in Sea Pines
Everything went smoothly with our experience renting Sea La Vie. The house is lovely. We especially enjoyed the kitchen, hearth room, ample
seating in the living room, and the screened porch overlooking the pool. The pool was the highlight of our time at the house. We used it every day. The bikes and beach gear in the garage for guest use was convenient and much appreciated. We loved the location, which was central to almost everything in Sea Pines. We rode bikes to the stables, Harbour Town, and South Beach multiple times. It’s a very short bike ride to the beach. Our only recommendations for improvement would be to fix the tv in the upstairs king bedroom (reported to the house manager, so I’m sure it will be addressed) and consider replacing the mattress in that room. It was soft and lacked support. These are not dealbreakers, however, and we would rent this home again. I recommend it for a fun family vacation.

Home away from home
We couldn't have had a better experience with this vacation rental. It truly felt as if we were in the comfort of our own home. There was absolutely nothing missing from this property that we could have wanted. The house was spotlessly clean upon our arrival and was fully stocked with all necessary supplies. The kitchen even had seasonings, oils, paper plates, napkins etc. There was an abundance of puzzles, books and games to keep my young family entertained when they weren't enjoying the outdoors. The bikes and beach supplies were a fantastic addition and utilized every day for the short trip to the beach. We only had to rent two smaller bikes for my younger children. This home was a dream to stay in for the cleanliness, comfort and location. Beyond that, the individuals that manage the property were extremely helpful and responsive to any questions or needs that we had. I would not hesitate to rent this home again or to recommend it to others.

Best VRBO experience ever!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie. The check in process and communication from the management company was excellent. This house is gorgeous and extremely clean. It was very comfortable for our family and in laws to stay in all together.
The kitchen is newly remodeled and by far the best stocked VRBO kitchen we'd ever used. Plenty of quality utensils, dishware, etc. The heated pool and private backyard were perfect for having our kids swim all week long, and we enjoyed dining out on the screened in porch every evening.
We appreciated having use of the beach chairs, sand toys, cooler and bicycles to take the 5 minute bike ride to the beach (or less than 10 minute walk). We also enjoyed using the bikes to get to Harbor Town (a 10-15 minute bike ride) and Salty Dog Cafe. The Sea Pines area is lovely and has so many shaded biking trails, making it easy to get around or just enjoy a bit of exercise.
We will definitely be saving this property listing and planning to return!

Hands down unanimous A+ from family of 5
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Sea La Vie. Kerry was a joy to deal with, very accomodating. The house is stunning down to even the smallest detail. Plenty of cleaning supplies, extra toiletries, blankets, pool toys. You basically don't need to bring anything you're used to bringing to a vaca house. We even left some things for the next renters because that seemed to be what others had done. Even the master had a coaster in the side table drawers. Who thinks of that?!! The bikes were a very much appreciated bonus (we just rented one more smaller size for our youngest for the week) as were the beach chairs and cart. We had friends stop by that were staying off island and they raced about it too. Especially the screened in porch and yard. This was our first time to Hilton Head because we try to visit a different island/beach every year, but this one we will have to come back to for sure. The area and neighborhood is gorgeous and has everything you'll need for shopping and dining. Thanks for stay!

Sea la Vie is the place to be!
Sea la Vie was a wonderful property to enjoy while at Sea Pines. We felt like it was our home away from home! My family has rented several homes in Sea Pines and this one was our favorite. The home was well maintained and so close to the beach. You won't need to bring anything extra except your groceries. We enjoyed the gas grill and playing in the pool. It was so nice not to have to rent bikes and locks. They even provided beach carts, beach towels and coolers. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need during your stay. It is obvious that the property managers are doing an awesome job taking care of this home. Kerry checked in with us after we arrived to be sure everything was in order. That is a first in all our rental experiences! Give this home a try. You will not be dissapointed!

Beautiful Home, Perfect Location
We loved staying here the in July of 2018. The home is in a perfect location and close to the beach, much closer than the previous homes we've stayed in. The floor plan is excellent for those with older children as well with a downstairs master, and 2 bedrooms upstairs for the teens. We love the pool for nightly use after the beach and the bikes were an added bonus so we didn't have to rent so many. Highly recommend!
