Our family of seven, plus my parents, had the best vacation! This home is spectacular. Plenty of room for all of us! Everything was clean! The pool and hot tub were definite highlights! We paid extra to have the hot tub heated, but not the pool. The water temperature was plenty warm in the pool and refreshing during our stay (mid May). Tara was a great host. She provided so many little extras! There was laundry detergent, dishwasher, paper towels, shampoo/ conditioner, soap, etc. You'll have to bring your own condiments. We scheduled a grocery pick up before we got to the island, to cut down on shopping time. The kitchen is well stocked: keurig machine, k cups, waffle maker, blender, etc. It felt like home!
The playground, not too far from the house, has a huge pirate ship playground and we saw some alligators!
We ordered bikes from a nearby rental place. They were delivered to the house prior to our arrival and they picked them up after we left. Super easy and convenient! We rode the bikes down to Harbor Town every day to enjoy the sunsets, playground, food, shopping, etc. Even our little ones could handle the ride. (About 15 minutes from the house.)
Between the bikes, beach, playground, and pool, we were all tuckered out at the end of each day! The house also comes with several puzzles, board games, blocks, etc. which we all enjoyed. There are also 10 beach towels available for guest use, which was great to not have to bring our own! There are some bikes in the garage that are locked up and not for guests to use, which we knew before we went. Some previous guests had left some pool floats, so our kids enjoyed those!
We went to lunch at the Skull Creek Boat house. The food was great and the location/view was amazing. If you go, you'll have to get pizza from Mellow Mushroom one night too!
Our only tricky complication came from me texting her from my android phone. My messages didn't go through to her Iphone. After we figured that out, we had great communication using my husband's iPhone.
We can't wait to start planning another trip down to Hilton head! We definitely hope to stay in this beautiful, family friendly home in our next trip down!! It was such a beautifully decorated home. We had such a laid back and relaxing vacation. Thank you for sharing your family's home with our family, Tara!
