Heavenly Sands : 2BR/2BA Beach-Dine-Shop-Celebration Park! All ~10 minute Walk!

Welcome to “Heavenly Sands” at Island House Villa in South Forest Beach. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our Pirates and Mermaids themed getaway in this 2 Bedroom/2 Bath villa. This is a 1 story flat on the second floor (and no one above you) and is nicely renovated for a relaxing beach getaway.

Island House Management/HOA allows ONE dog per villa. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
The pet fee is $165 per stay. Please click the “Bringing Pet” button to add the $165 fee to your reservation. We do not accept cats due to severe allergies. The Island House Villa complex is in the heart of Hilton Head Island with many conveniences within walking distance. We are just a ~10-minute walk to the beautiful beaches of Hilton Head Island to a more private area where it will tend to be less busy than a public beach. Celebration Park is a 5-minute walk across the street. Walk a few minutes further and you will reach Coligny Plaza and the Coligny Public Beach. At Coligny (great atmosphere!), you can find an assortment of shops and dining areas along with ice cream and souvenir shops. There's also a "golf-cart" service that frequently drives in the area that works on tips only.

The family room is equipped with a 65-inch TV, ceiling fan, sofa, and two recliners.

The Master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan, and its own master bath with walk in shower.

The Guest room has a queen and a twin bed that can accommodate up to three guests comfortably. It also has a ceiling fan. The second bathroom is adjacent to the bedroom.

The dining area offers plenty of seating and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your long- or short-term stay. Recently installed, are all new stainless-steel kitchen appliances. Also, in the kitchen, there is a full-sized washer and dryer. There's a full-sized coffee maker and a Keurig. We’ve provided books and games to pass your time away while relaxing at the villa. The unit includes Wi-Fi.

We rent 2 villas in the Island House Complex, so If you have plans to come with another family or your week is unavailable, please reference the VRBO ID 2124916. Both villas are second floor flats.

Around the corner, located on property of the villa, is a large spacious pool with plenty of lounge chairs and a bath house for you and all your guests to enjoy. The Van Der Meer Tennis facility is just steps away for the avid tennis player (They offer lessons and clinics).

Hilton Head Island offers so much for outdoor living. There's an abundance of bike trails, plenty of golfing, tennis, fishing, and beaches that will interest everyone. A new restaurant called “The Bank” just opened and is over a mile from our complex. It is THE spot to catch a sporting event with great food and drinks. There’s plenty of amazing live entertainment, events and dining to suit your needs on the island.

The gorgeous shores of Hilton Head are just a short walk. Biking is one of our favorite family activities. Bring your own bike or rent locally (free delivery) from across the way. Miles of trails will bring you hours of sightseeing and exercise throughout your stay. The island provides plenty of activities ranging from marine tours, aquatic adventures, fishing, golfing at its finest, shopping, and fine dining for all. Don’t forget those days’ trips off the island. Hilton Head Island is less than an hour away from the nostalgic areas of Savanah, GA and Charleston, SC. The up-and-coming town of Bluffton is 20 minutes away.
Whatever you choose to do while you’re here at Forest Beach, Island House, you’re sure to make plenty of memories at “Heavenly Sands” villa. We’ll strive to do everything we can to ensure your stay is comfortable, pleasurable, and worry free.

Heavenly Sands is a great property, the hosts were great, and easy to communicate with. The property is convenient to restaurants and close to the beach, celebration park and coligny are also within easy walking distance.The condo is very spacious. Super clean , the beds are very comfortable, it is well stocked with everything you need, even though we did not have small children with us. I loved the fact they had things for children even a (pack n play,) a family with young kids would definately appreciate all the extras; as well as the beach chairs and umbrella. The added perk for us , was it being pet friendly. , and the hosts even thought of your furry friends, with dog bowls and balls for them! We are looking foward to our next stay at Heavenly sands.

We loved staying in this nice home in HHI once again. Chris and Kim are amazing hosts and are so pleasant. The kitchen is fully stocked with items one may need.

Perfect Piece of Paradise

We LOVED staying at the "Heavenly Sands" condo! My family of four stayed for a week during our spring break in April and it was just the escape we were looking for! The location is excellent as it is within walking distance to the beach and plenty of area restaurants and shopping outlets. The condo was very clean and the decor was adorable! Chris and Kim were the most hospitable hosts and Kim even checked in with us on the first day of our trip to see if we needed anything. Would recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone!

Wonderful condo

My husband and I stayed at this condo for 3 months (mid-January to mid-April). The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the beach and right on the walking/biking pathway. The condo complex was quiet and well maintained. Chris Alessi was a great host and very responsive. The condo itself was in good condition, with comfortable beds and furniture. If I was to plan another months-long stay, I might bring my own towels, as the towels provided were a little lackluster, though there were plenty of them. Overall, great place.

This was a repeat visit to this VRBO condo because it's very well maintained, clean and cozy and just minutes walk from the beach.

Heavenly, Indeed!

We loved our stay at Heavenly Sands. We didn't arrive until late, but check-in was a breeze, with thorough check-in instructions provided ahead of time. Kim was in touch the morning after our arrival to make sure everything was good, and was very kind when the tenant downstairs submitted a noise complaint on my family for having two wild kiddos running around for a few minutes before their nap time. The unit was spotlessly clean, comfy and had all the essentials. Good location, with plenty of nearby restaurants and an easy walk/bike ride to beach access. Hope to return next summer!

We loved staying at Chris and Kim’s Heavenly Sands! The location can’t be beat - it’s so close to the beach, Celebration Park, and Coligny. We rented bikes and only drove once the entire week! The unit was perfect for our family of five, plus service dog, and it was so nice to have the pool and tennis courts on site after a day at the beach. Communication from Chris and Kim was exceptional and we appreciated all of their personal touches like the info binder, well stocked kitchen, and even cleaning supplies. We can’t wait to book again for next summer!
