We had a perfect 4 night stay here it was so relaxing and quiet. The place was perfect for a couple and was very welcoming and safe for pets. It was cleaned and came with everything we needed. The best part for us was the beautiful bike paths and walking trails accessible right from the condo. We barely drove the whole time we were there. The beach was a lovely 10 min shady stroll. We can’t wait to come back.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location, though we’re truly sorry to hear the appliances, kitchen items, and shower did not meet your expectations. We wish we had known about these concerns during your stay, as we would have addressed them right away — especially the shower pressure. We always want our guests to be completely comfortable, and timely communication allows us to make things right. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Great community with wooded area and lots of nature. Be prepared to pay to enter the community since the dork at the gate required it even though notes state that the pass is inside the cottage.

Another great vacay in Sea Pines

This was our third visit to a Night Heron property in Sea Pines. As always, it provided a very family friendly location that's close to everything you'd need for a relaxing, beach trip. The property is well kept and check-in/communication with property manager was smooth. Sea Pines is beautiful, and to my mind, the best location in HH. Definitely recommend.

Highly Recommend!

Great property and perfect for the 2 of us and our dog. This place had everything we needed, pool was close and the beach path was right across the street which was a nice surprise. The bungalow was tucked away from the street within the woods which was so cool! If interested in Coligny, would recommend renting bikes, but it was only a 10-15 ride and you could take the path which made it a nice ride. The listing did not include pictures of the bathroom, but it was somewhat updated and had plenty of space to get ready. Overall, the property was very clean, great location, and very fun. Would stay again for our next trip. Thank you!

SLUMMING IN PARADISE

The property is about 1/2 mile walk to the beach. We were greeted with roaches and ants, owner had the place treated but, it was bad. The place could have been adorable but, it was just plain run down. There was no comfortable place to sit. Things are broken and not fixed. We were very disappointed and strongly recommend you book elsewhere. We gave it 2 stars for location.

Great location, just okay stay

This is my favorite area to stay in Hilton Head. This particular condo needs a deep clean. I contemplated having cleaners come back but decided against because it needs a lot of attention. “Palmetto Beetles” or cockroaches were in the shower and kitchen from time to time. The couch is pretty nasty and needs a deep clean. The kitchen is outdated and refrigerator did take about 48 hours to re-cool my food. In the home manual I was aware of the refrigerator and beetle situation. However, I didn’t feel comfortable with how room temperature my food was getting. Also, in the manual the owners state the beetles are everywhere and that they are not cockroaches. I’ve been going to Hilton Head for 20 years and staying in this same area without ever seeing one before. Upon further investigation, they are in fact cockroaches. I would say this place has a bit of an infestation.

As we all know a happy rental experience is frequently dependent on good communication. VRBO/Homeaway provide excellent tools to facilitate a good collaboration between guests and owners during their stay. Unfortunately this guest decided to communicate their concerns after check out when we could not to anything to help. The neighborhood association does the pest control and we could have called them right away to do an extra treatment and we could have sent the cleaning crew back to take care of any problem areas. We have had many positive experiences with our renters over the year, mostly because a good open line of communication was maintained which gives us the opportunity to meet the guests needs.

In bad need of an update

The first thing I noticed when walking into the rental was the musty smell. The second was how outdated everything was. It doesn’t look like it’s had any updates to it in 15 years or more. The couch was terribly worn and uncomfortable. The bed was worn out and the carpet in the bedroom was so old and didn’t feel clean. The house is in desperate need of a deep clean as well. There was an incredible amount of dust on the chandelier over the table and on all the artificial flowers. It’s a cute space and really just needs some attention. It’s in a great location, close to restaurants, shops, and a short walk to the beach. It’s very quiet in Night Heron and the pool was a nice touch. The owners were very quick at responding to my questions I had. We had a nice vacation but it could have been made a lot better if the place was cleaner (our clothes even smelled of must when we got home) and had more comfortable furniture. Sea Pines itself is beautiful!

We are very sorry you were less than 100% pleased with your visit. We did not hear from you all week and we would have come and taken care of any concerns you had right away. The musty smell is likely because it is a pet friendly unit and we have put some additional air fresheners in the house to combat that. The owner is planning to replace the couch asap.

Disappointing

We are finding that the yurt properties on night heron are going down hill on their upkeep. We have stayed in several 1 bedroom yurts and property 13 was in a sorry state. The flooring in the kitchen area is coming up, the couch is filthy and very uncomfortable. The rugs need to be replaced, If it were my property i would be embarrassed to rent it out. We love hilton head but we will be looking elsewhere for rentals.

Best of both worlds

I read a review that said they felt like they were in the jungle, not the beach. That is the whole point of Night Heron! The trees, the lagoons, the wildlife, it feels like you are part of nature, in a home, and not in a tourist destination or resort (even though it's both). You can get places like that but not that are also a five minute walk to the beach and so reasonable in price. Mind you, this bungalow is old and not in pristine condition, it has a few cosmetic issues and the floor in the bathroom shows where there was water at some point, and so forth, but it's clean and safe, just cosmetic. I told the property manager a light didn't work and the handyman was there the next day. A ceiling fan is stuck on low but I imagine that is a bigger fix and at least it was spinning! There was a fan beneath the bed that served me just fine. Just what I was looking for!

The property is in a very nice area close to beach but not on the beach. The bungalow was very cute and cozy. I hope the owners change the bed mattress is was very uncomfortable, lumpy, and the bed sheets kept coming off and there was no mattress cover very unsanitary. The couch needs cleaning it smelled and felt dirty. The bungalow had roaches. It was not infested but enough that we shook out our belongings before taking them in house. They should exterminate
