About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanfront, Private Beach Access

Nestled right on the Atlantic in the Sea Pines Plantation, 22 Black Skimmer Rd is frequently praised as a dreamy, family-friendly escape — the kind of place where you make lifelong memories. Guests consistently highlight its fantastic location, with private beach access via the owner’s own pathway, so you’re just steps away from the sand yet still tucked away in a peaceful, private setting. And Sea Pines itself is a world-class community, with PGA golf, dining, extensive bike trails, racquet sports facilities and some of the world's most beautiful beach at your fingertips.

This spacious home masterfully blends beach cottage charm with modern comforts. With six bedrooms and 6.5 baths, it can comfortably sleep large families or multiple generations. The layout is well-designed: there’s an open-plan living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen with adjacent BBQ grill, a formal dining room, and a dedicated work space/office — plus an elevator, making it accessible for guests who prefer not to use the stairs.

Outside, the property really shines. The private pool (16’ × 34’) is a favorite among guests — beautifully maintained, often heated on request, and surrounded by a lush backyard garden. The upstairs deck overlooking the ocean provides a relaxing spot to unwind, dine, or just take in the sea breeze.

Inside, guests say the home is very well stocked — top-notch kitchen gear, plenty of towels, and smart-sized common areas make it easy to cook, entertain, and hang out comfortably. Multiple flat-panel TVs and a reliable internet connection (10 MB broadband) also make it a great mix of getaway and functional home base.

A few recurring themes from reviews:
•Responsiveness: The owner (Ted) gets high marks for communication — guests say he’s very quick to respond and fix any minor issues.
•Cleanliness: Reviewers repeatedly mention how clean and well-maintained the house is.
•Privacy + Tranquility: Despite being oceanfront, the home feels secluded. Many note how peaceful it is, especially given how close you are to the beach without being directly exposed.
•Family-friendly: With its large size, multiple bathrooms, and flexible sleeping arrangements, it’s very well-suited to family groups.
Ideal For
•Multi-generational families or groups of friends looking for a spacious, luxury beachfront home.
•Guests who value direct beach access without compromising on privacy.
•Relaxation-focused vacations, with both pool and ocean options for downtime.
•Travelers who appreciate both comfort and thoughtful amenities, from a fully stocked kitchen to multiple entertaining areas.

Charming and comfortable house for an extended family

This was a wonderful place for a week-long family get-together. The house is spacious, with plenty of bathrooms and sitting space. The kitchen appliances, air conditioning, and wifi all worked great. There is a spacious covered porch overlooking the shore and dunes. You're surrounded by quiet woods and greenery, but it's not that far a drive to the local Publix and Starbucks. There are many good restaurants nearby. We loved it!!

Great Location

We had a wonderful time staying here. There were only 4 of us so we had plenty of room. The location is perfect! We have been coming to HHI for many years and we liked this location the best. We visited in Oct this year and had the beach almost to ourselves. It was beautiful weather which helped. The kitchen in this house is very well stocked and Ted is great at getting back to any questions we had ASAP. We will be back!

Fantastic vacation!

The house, pool area and yard exceeded our expectations- even better than the photos! We had teens through grandparents and all loved our stay. Fully equipped kitchen with literally everything you need. Quiet part of the beach but only a short bike ride to the Salty Dog for a meal out, music and great ice cream. We love HHI and this was one of our best rentals yet. Ted was hands-down the best homeowner we have rented from - really helpful, great tips on things to do, and very responsive. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Great family getaway!

Our family likes to have a group vacation every two years and this was a great way to enjoy our trip. The house was in a perfect location with gorgeous views... the pictures on the website can’t do it justice! Each couple had their own space, with a large gathering space for us all. We don’t usually repeat our vacation sites, but we may have to make an exception in this case. The home owner was extremely helpful and answered all our questions... it was much appreciated!

Great family beach house

Our family has been vacationing on Hilton Head for 8 years now. We converge on HHI from MA, NY, KY, & GA for a great week at the beach. This was our first year at the Leavitt's after 6 years in the same home in North Forest Beach, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy and accommodating, and we definitely felt very at home. The pool & yard area is truly fantastic, which is important to us because we spend a lot of time around the pool. And having the beach just steps away down the boardwalk was perfect! The one thing that wasn't perfect for us is that we're a sports family who gather around sporting events on TV; so we would have loved to have a TV in the upstairs living room, since that's where we mostly gathered. And some of the kids would have liked TV's in their rooms so they could get away from us adults sometimes :-) Other than that, it was a great vacation in a great home! If we choose to stay in Sea Pines again (that is still up for debate) we would definitely stay in this home again! Ted was very helpful with booking and pre-arrival communication and was really a pleasure to work with.

A Private Gem

This was about our 30th time traveling to Sea Pines for a family vacation and the house was the perfect gathering spot for the 4 generations who made it. The waterfront location with a private boardwalk made it very easy to access the beach but the house is set back from the water so is also very private. The kitchen has been recently remodeled and is completely stocked with all the necessary supplies for cooking. (We cooked in almost every night even though Ted provided a very comprehensive list of high-end to quick eating options in the area. Great list!) There are two dining areas that could seat up to 12 comfortably; one became the game/puzzle place. Some of the bathrooms have been recently remodeled too; a few are a little older. The twin beds were a little small for the over 20 crowd but would be perfect for those under 15. Check-in and check-out were convenient and so quick. Ted was VERY responsive throughout the entire process. We hope to come back again next year.

The back yard with the pool and ocean view made our trip so nice. We loved the location and biked to breakfast, dinner, the park or for ice cream each day. The host was very good and always responded quickly. I would definitely like to stay here again.

We have been to Sea Pines at Hilton Head several times and thoroughly enjoyed this house. The oceanfront house is close to the beach, the pool in October had a fabulous heater, and the deck is 100% covered. The inside is roomy and had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to cover the needs of 9 adults with two small children under 2 years of age. We would definitely stay at this location again.
