3rd Row Ocean - Dog Friendly Sea Pines Home w/ FREE Pool Heat Seasonally!

Welcome to 1 Gadwall - a private home in the South Beach area of Sea Pines! Relax in this five bedroom, five bathroom home with a private pool that can sleep up to ten guests total. The private pool offers complimentary pool heat seasonally**. 1 Gadwall is conveniently located directly beside the beach path and on the 3rd row to the ocean. A short, easy 1–2 minute walk will have your feet in the sand.

Another perk? This is a dog friendly rental! The pet fee is $250 plus tax and covers up to two dogs maximum. If you are planning on bringing your furry friend, please reach out to our office in advance to pay the additional fee and confirm your four legged BFF.

There are three bedrooms on the main floor and two bedrooms on the second floor. There are no stairs from the driveway into the house. The private pool deck is partially shaded with large oaks and pines to provide both sun and shade. Barbecue with the gas grill and dine on the pool deck just steps from the kitchen.

The home is so close to the ocean it’s easy to go back and forth from the beach to grab drinks, jump in the pool, fix lunch, and take kids back for a break. The home is in a perfect beach location to see dolphins every day as they swim in and out of Calibogue Sound! Enjoy watching boats of all kinds going in and out of the Sound daily! Sunsets are magical on the south end of the island! You’ll have a front row seat to some of the most beautiful sunsets you can imagine!

This home is a short walk to the world-famous Salty Dog restaurant! Enjoy a meal, shop for a Salty Dog t-shirt, and enjoy some ice cream afterwards. Tennis and pickleball at South Beach Racquet Club are a short five minute walk from the house! This is a very popular place for racquet sports, and they just added new lighted pickleball courts in 2023. South Beach Marina is also walking distance from the house which you can do sailing charters, kayak tours, paddleboard, boat rentals, wildlife tours, and banana boat rides. Harbour Town is a ten minute drive for shopping, restaurants, and music. And multiple golf courses are an easy drive away. The home is perfect for families, tennis/pickleball getaways, or golf trips!

Size and layout was great. Could use updating. Dissatisfied with the overall cleanliness of the house. Had to vacuum up bugs from floors and bathrooms, and killed mosquitoes inside the house during our entire stay! Pool was nice, and water temperature was great! Proximity to beach and Southbeach was also great.

Perfect Hilton Head Location with room for kids and parents

House is lovely with a great kitchen. The set up is perfect to let kids have their own space- bedrooms upstairs and a separate family room. It’s a short walk to the beach or to The Salty Dog for a bite/drink/treat. Tons of shady paths for walking or biking. This trip was easier and more relaxing than I could have dreamed!!

Beautiful Sea Pines Beach House Perfect for Families

We loved our stay for spring break - this house is super close to the beach (right off #11 path and just second house in) plus to Salty Dog and Jake's Pizza (our kids favorite places to eat in HHI). The house is well appointed and laid out - perfect for a combined group of families and kids of various ages. We loved the heated pool, separate family room area and kids rooms upstairs! The hosts were super responsive to a pool cleaning issue and very welcoming. We look forward to a return stay!!

Close to beach/ lots of space

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place but a few things. Outside of the main sliding door out to the pool, a drain was backed up and flooded the whole are making it impossible to walk outside without being in ankle deep gross water. I emailed and sent pics the first day and no one came out to assess. Also- I don’t feel as though it was cleaned up to standards.

Comfortable and easy.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time staying in this house because our experience last year was so great. The house, particularly the kitchen, is very well stocked. Pool is warm without extra fees and great for kids. We had another great stay this year however I did find changes in the beach a little disappointing. There has been erosion from recent storms on South Beach so there is very little beach the several hours before and after high tide. This limited the amount of time we could be on the beach without driving to a different public beach on the island. Additionally, the ramp of the boardwalk to the beach broke off so you have to jump 2.5 feet from the end of the boardwalk to the beach which made it difficult for wagons and kids and grandparents. This is no fault of the rental company. Just fyi for renters.
