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!

Amazing Location!!
We had the best time! The sound was gorgeous, the water warm enough to wade and swim some (in April), there was so much wildlife, and the pluff mud was delightful! 4/5 on cleanliness because indoor pool was murky and had paper pieces floating in it for days (we swam anyway!). The outdoor pools were sparkling clean but cold.

Great Location but beware of first floor
Dated property with floors that are sagging. Enjoyed the community fountains and flora. Quiet mornings on the patio enjoying coffee. Lots of noise from unit above us when the family with children moved around. Last night there was horrible. Spring breakers made an incredible amount of noise. Music and loud talk until 2:30a.m. We will not come back. If you want to try The Spa get a third floor unit if you come in March.

Awesome!
This was our first time to HHI. We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. Our condo was clean & spacious and close to everything! The beach is literally steps away with 2 pools as well. We spent a couple days at Coligny Beach (highly recommend). There is no shortage of things to do and places to eat. We will absolutely stay here again and recommend others do as well!

Rustic and kitschy condo
The place was ok, unfortunately you could easily hear the upstairs residents walking around, talking, etc.
The decorations and furniture were unmatching and there was an old, antique store smell in the condo. We purchased
a scented candle which was helpful. The handsoap dispensers had watered down soap with only a tiny amount that would last a few days so bring your own soap. On the plus side, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen has nice appliances. I did appreciate the little gift bag with brochures, sunglasses, popcorn and coffee. The small samples of lotion, shampoo, conditioner and bath soap were a nice touch.

HH GET AWAY
I loved the location of my condo. Was close to the beach. However there was sand on the floors and the master bath shower was not working properly. Could not make the hand held stay in the shower position. A keurig coffee maker would be a great addition as well. Mostly it was a great stay and I’ll definitely rent again.

Lairds Lair is the perfect place for us to enjoy what HH has to offer. The beach at Port Royal Sound is just beautiful, and it was only steps away.
The Lair is perfect, comfortable, clean and functional and the Sound can be seen from the balcony. Can't wait to go back next year!

Aug getaway
The location was nice. Property seemed a bit run down ~ hot tub not working, exercise room not what was pictured.
The unit itself was a nice proximity to the inlet access; however, the unit pictured and advertised was apparently when it was a newer unit. Floors are warped and we had lots of noise (after 6 pm and before 6 am) from the upstairs unit (sounded like heavy footsteps and moving furniture)

Nice stay
The beach next to the property is not ideal for swimming due to lots of reeds, rocks, and jellyfish. We ended up driving to the public beach day after the first day. Just be mindful in case you book with the intent to swim at the beach everyday. It you just want to stroll around at sunset, it is a great location.
The other downside of the property is a lack of common amenities/essentials in the kitchen. For example, there was no Tupperware, common spices, coffee grounds, new sponge, etc. The pots and pans were were scratched up and took a long time to heat up. So, if you plan to use more than the microwave in the kitchen, you will need to bring everything with you.

Family vacation
Enjoyed the proximity to the beach but the villa is in need of a thorough deep cleaning, especially the bathrooms and kitchen.
The skillet we used had to be scrubbed before we could use it as it had food stuck on it.
The villa was smaller than it appeared in the pictures and the furniture in the living room was not comfortable and needs replaced.
We also heard every footstep that the people took in the villa above us.

Beautiful Location and Great Family Atmosphere
The condo was exactly as described, with more than enough thoughtful amenities (cookware, toiletries, cleaning supplies, beach items, bug spray, and games). Our family could really relax in the serene atmosphere. The condo is super-close to the outdoor pool and just a short walk to the indoor pool and fitness room. The access to the beach was close and convenient, and the view was priceless. During the last two days of the stay, there was a bit of noise from a tenant above us (pitter-patter of little feet), but all other days were quiet and peaceful.

Great location on Hilton Head
We enjoyed our stay at this property — not fancy but certainly well kept and good value for the money. Located at beautiful beach, off the beaten path yet convenient to on and off island attractions. Great on-site amenities such as indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, basketball court and patio.
