Other Things to Note: Bugs We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. Yes, these are roaches and are found pretty much everywhere outside in South Carolina but we like to call them Palmetto Bugs as it makes them sound nicer! They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated monthly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.
According to Eric Benson, Ph.D. professor and extension entomologist at Clemson University “It has nothing to do with cleanliness or the economic conditions of the area,” said Benson. “They could be around the nicest home or the nicest hotel or resort.”
If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare!
Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after!

A lovely place to stay
Wasn’t a fan of the beach area because the water recedes so bad during low tide but the room was so comfy, the beds were incredible and the room was clean.

Great Spot for beach stay
We had several families, each staying in their own units at the Spa for a family reunion. The proximity to the quiet Fish Haul beach on Port Royal Sound. The only downside to the location and our unit was that when the weather is bad there isn't a great gathering spot for a big group. Our unit's porch was not screened or enclosed, so it was unavailable to us when the weather turned cold and rainy.

Love that is a Feral cat sanctuary. Not so much the shark reserve nearby. Land to beach was very marshy. And difficult to walk across or around it. It was a lovely place, relatively quiet outside of pool times.

Convenient and cozy
Very clean and stocked with everything you need! Check in was a breeze. We stay at the spa frequently - this part of the island is a hidden gem and such a great place for families with small children. The natural beach is great for animal lovers - a bald eagle had a meal 10 ft from my beach chair!!! Great rental. We would absolutely rent this unit again in the future!

Perfect Hilton Head Getaway
My family rented this condo in May of 2020 when we were desperate to get out of the house. We have thought about it so much since then, and were so excited to return.
I worried we had built it up too much, but it was just as amazing as we remembered. Perfect location, cozy and comfortable, and great beach access. We will hopefully be back!

Very nice beach retreat
We enjoyed the ocean views from the balcony! The amenities were great for our family, and we loved staying on the sound and experiencing all the wildlife! We would stay here again! The condo was well furnished and we were very comfortable! The only negative is we were in the third floor and we didn’t have beach towels and had to go buy some, but stores are very close! The negatives weren’t a problem and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Lots to do on the island!

Fabulous views
We were blessed with awesome weather so spent most of the week outside. The complex is incredibly quiet and peaceful - that may be different once the kids are out of school. We overlooked the pool and had a fabulous view of the ocean/sound.The condo was as described and did not have a want or need for anything. The highlight of the week was finding a loggerhead turtles nest during my morning walk. I saw more wildlife and seabirds including a bald eagle in the past week than I have in the last year. Looking forward to returning in the fall.

The Spa at Port Royal and the Port Royal Sound are lovely. The area is very quiet and serene. We had a wonderful experience at Kate's Seaside Retreat. The condo was clean and nicely decorated, very charming and comfortable. The outdoor patio with an ocean view was fantastic. I am already envisioning our next visit!

The property itself can use some improvement. It is not up to the standard I expected on Hilton Head
The exterior of the property...i.e. the ground needs a lot of updating. Outside of the fact that we had a beautiful, ocean view from the patio, I would have been terribly disappointed and asked for another unit.
We ended up having to clean the place ourselves when we arrived because it was not properly cleaned. The bathrooms were horrible! We had go out to purchase new shower curtains and liners because they were just filthy..( We took pictures)
The baseboards had dust all around them and there were bugs behind the sofa and the table that sat against the wall in the living room! The owner should pay us for cleaning or at least refund half our money because we certainly left the place better than we found it. The patio windows were filthy and filled with dead bugs.
The bedspreads were also dirty....We had to wash them as we used them to spread over the sofa and chairs...(Thank goodness we brought our own , along with our own sheets, pillows and pillow cases)
The bed in the front bedroom needs a new mattress....The entire villa just needs a complete overhaul. I was really disappointed.
As I stated, the view of the ocean was breathtaking. As for as the property itself, I needs some work. I felt like when I walked outside of the unit, I was walking outside in the projects! ( I am a social worker)....All those stray cats roaming around on the property is disgusting! I would not recommended this property to friends, nor will I ever stay there again.

Beautiful inlet
Our stay was beautiful and peaceful. The condo was great however there was a drawback and that was there is no elevator to the third floor. This is very difficult for those with disabilities. Also, the bugs, mosquitoes are no joke! I assume it’s because of the marshes around the beach areas. Other than that everything was perfect!
