Beginning of April stay

Very well equipped Kitchen and comfortable beds. Great porch and the fact that there were 2 large dining tables, one inside and one on the screened in porch was a big plus to leave big puzzles out, play games, etc. & still have a large table free for dinner. Heated pool and house proximity to beach were enjoyed by all.

Great location and pool

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great spring break at 12 Surf Scoter. The proximity to the beach was amazing and we loved the heated pool (a must in March). The house itself has a 1970's layout, which you can probably tell from the pictures, so it is a bit of a trek getting from the main living area to the pool. You have to go down a flight of stairs, out the front door, and through a car port. First world problems, but it's a bit wonky. The house was clean, but definitely had an old cottage smell. We could even smell it on our clothes when we got home from the trip. Some area rugs in the main living area and bedrooms might make it feel a little cozier. And hanging the TV over the fireplace, so you can see it from the main sitting area, might make that space more functional. Like I said, overall we had a great time. The beach, the pool, and Hilton Head overall is amazing. If we come back, next time I'll probably start my VRBO search a little sooner and look for something a little newer.

Amazing

We had such a wonderful time here. Two families 4 kids 4 adults and plenty of space. Each bedroom has own bathroom, it’s a short 2 min walk to a private type beach which with little kids was a must! It also had a perfect size pool and hot tub..we chose to heat the tub but not the pool and it worked out great. The house was in great neighborhood too. I would recommend this house and we would definitely come again.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was a little dusty and the floors were not super clean when we arrived, but we soon got over that and really settled in. The house is comfortable and spacious. We all loved the screened in porch. I sat out there doing puzzles on the table and we ate out there and relaxed. The patio was nice, too. Enjoyed the hot tub immensely. Great location for walking down to the beach and for accessing the bike path.

Ideal Location within Sea Pines

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was exactly as described; the pool had lots of privacy and perfectly sized; the carport allowed for storage of outside beach items away from the rain storms we had; the layout of the interior was great and allowed all family members plenty of privacy, as well as lots of space for time spent together; and the screened-in porch was perfect for meals outside and the evenings, protecting you from all the bugs! The location provided quick access to South Beach and Harbor Town via car or bike. Most importantly, the beach was only a few minute walk away, allowing for easy transitions to and from the house throughout the day. We will definitely be looking to book this house for our next stay.

The home is large enough to spread out and have privacy and the also provided lots of space to come together. We cooked and used the grill a few nights and found the kitchen to be adequately stocked for our needs. Great location for accessing the beach and hitting the bike trails. We would come back and recommend to our friends.

Overall met out needs for a friends gathering for a week. House is clean, short walk to beach, new beach chairs, beautiful pool, and comfortable beds. Some things that need attention: sheets and pillows are worn out and need replacing, towels are thin and scratchy, kitchen needs can opener, oven has only one rack, dryer lint screen has hole, no place mats or coasters, and dining room chairs are scratching the wood floors.

Location is great, cleanliness is bad & kitchen not stocked at all

The location can’t be beat. 4th house from the beach, amazing. The place desperately needs a deep clean. Baseboards looked they hadn’t been wiped down in years. Kitchen had tons of plates and glasses however two pans for cooking were old and scratched. I was concerned cooking for my family. To top it off, there was only a handful of forks and knives, I cut my lip on one of the five spoons in the house. It must have been so old and mangled. Would love to stay again if the owners sorted that stuff out.

Great location, dated house

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 4 bed house was located within a 10 minute walk. The pool area was private , spacious and beautifully payed out. The screened in porch was huge and equipped with table chairs couch and seats. The bedrooms downstairs felt somewhat moldy. Amir conditioning hard to control decent temperature. The beds were on the old side and not very comfortable. Kitchen needed more stocking of spoons cups and needs a disposal as well.

Great getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were few reviews available for this house so I though I would drop a note. We had 5 adults, three kids ages 5 and under all stay very comfortably. Bedrooms were very nicely done. Large TV in living area as well as all bedrooms. Bathrooms all modern appearing, nice tile work. Kitchen was good size, loved the washer/dryer. Spent most of our time at the pool, teaching kids to swim. We all had a good time. There are toys to play with and there were two beach chairs available. You can buy more locally or rent if you like. Outdoor shower at side of house with additional entrance. 5 min walk to the beach, most of the time walked barefoot. Beach was nice, very warm water in August. Pool has shade in AM which was nice, warmer in the afternoon. One table available with tent for shade. We brought another cheap umbrella for second table and needed this to keep the kids in the shade. Two blocks from a nice bike path, 5 min.5 to 10 min from harris teeter or PublixBring some beach towels/pool towels and apple/fruit peeler--would definately not heat the spa in the summer. It overflows into the pool and you will cookCons:Need to place a password on the wifi (unwise to check email with open connection).

Our family of six had a great 8-day stay at 12 Surf Scoter!

We were not sure about renting this property from reading the reviews (most from 2016) that were not favorable. I am so glad that we took a chance and rented the house anyway! We found the house to be in excellent shape and very clean and well outfitted. There is a brand new washer and dryer, brand new Weber grill, fresh paint, new refrigerator, flat screen TVs in every bedroom and the living room, a cook's kitchen that has all necessary utensils and tons of plates, glasses, and cutlery. Outside there is a nice pool and spa/hottub. We paid the extra fee for heating them for the week and enjoyed both pool and spa daily after the beach. The house if four houses back from the beach which makes it about a 4 minute walk and a 1 minute bike ride down the quiet street. The neighboring houses are also nice and a very quiet neighborhood. We rented bikes and easily rode them to the Sea Pines Beach Club, Sea Pines Shopping Center, and South Beach area (Salty Dog). The bike paths in Sea Pines are amazing and safe. The beach access is at marker 26 and was not crowded. There is also a brand new alarm system that we didn't use but looks good and beeps anytime you open a door. There is also high-speed Internet with wi-fi (5G) accessible throughout the entire house. Only things not provided were beach chairs, cooler, and umbrellas. I can understand that the chairs/umbrella age quickly with the salt water/air and transport to/from beach. We learned that most rentals do not provide the chairs and umbrellas so be sure to plan ahead for that. I would suggest that the owner/agent add a cooler to the well-appointed house. Sea Pines Getaways is the rental agent and they couldn't have made things easier for our check-in & checkout. We would return to this rental for sure - thank you!

Beautiful Home steps from the Beach in Sea Pines

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The pool and spa were beautiful and our kids had so much fun swimming in the afternoons. We spent our mornings at the beach which is so convenient literally a 2 minute walk. We normally enjoy going to the beach club but we preferred just being in our own little stretch of beach where we had chairs and umbrellas set up by the lifeguards. We also rented bikes through Sea Turtle Getaways (which is a must in Hilton Head) as well as bins of toys for the kids which were a hit. My only suggestion would be to change the blinds in the downstairs bedrooms to a type which can allow some light in and also privacy. It felt a little dungeon like in the downstairs bedrooms, but other than that it was a wonderful home that we’d definitely be interested in staying at again.
