Love everything about this unit! Screened in porch, bikes and beach chairs were great perks. Quiet secluded area but short bike ride to all the beach action. Comfortable beds, nice showers, stocked kitchen and excellent washer/dryer. Will stay again!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that the screened porch, bikes, beach chairs, and peaceful lagoon setting helped make your vacation special.
It’s great to hear that you found the home comfortable, well-equipped, and conveniently located for enjoying both the beach and everything Shipyard has to offer. We work hard to provide the little extras that help our guests feel at home, so your comments mean a great deal to us.
We truly appreciate you choosing our home for your Hilton Head vacation and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
We have stayed at Kingston Cove for the last 5 years now. They all have been wonderful. I must say that this was the most enjoyable place we have stayed yet. Very warm and felt right at home. Kitchen has everything anyone would need. Just a great place to stay anytime. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home. LP
Shuttle to the beach from your doorstep was amazing and pool was a minute walk from the house. Everything in the house was extremely clean and worked great!

Thanks for the review Shannon, sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves. We have never used the shuttle but very glad to know that is a good option for the beach. We usually ride 4 bikes 4 min or walk, about 17 mins. Hope you guys share our house again in the near future!
Thanks John and Betsy
We have stayed in Kingston cove three times and this was our favorite. The bikes and beach equipment were great. The back porch was amazing. Everything was clean and clearly labeled. The host was very good at communicating. We will stay here again!

About the host

Why they chose this property
This property is privately owned and we work hard to treat it as our own. It is not a time-share, but a second home for our children and grandchildren. We adore HHI so much, that it made sense for us to purchase property here (after all, all of our vacations are here). We ask that this home is treated as your home would be treated. We intend to keep it for many years and we enjoy it as much as anyone. So, pour up a cup of coffee, sit on the back porch and enjoy the beautiful mornings overlooking the Lagoon.
What makes this property unique
Screened in porch with Smart tv and Porch swing overlooking peaceful lagoon. Free courtesy bikes, beach chairs and towels. 4 min bike ride or 17 min walk to the beach. Beautiful private pool for Kingston Cove guests only with bathrooms, 4 houses from our home.
