About this property

New, family-friendly villa, 5 min walk to beach, on-site pools, tennis, more!

The Nest was envisioned with family, safety, and comfort in mind, by a family who has stayed in many short-term rentals for holidays, vacations, and work.

Our condo is right next to the gate for easy beach access, and a 4-minute walk to Folly Beach, a favorite beach of locals (and on TripAdvisor's Hilton Head Top 10 list), with plenty of space to spread out. We have a beach wagon, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, ice packs, travel mugs, toys--everything you need for a short stroll or a whole day at the beach. On-site there are two pools, 7 clay tennis courts, 4 packed-clay pickle ball courts, 2 indoor racquetball courts, a gym, playsets for the kids, and a game room with ping pong.

We call it 'The Nest' because our balcony looks into the tree line and also because HHI is home to an average of 150 endangered sea turtle nests every year. We love the space because it is top floor (no one above us!), the kitchen is clean and functional for those nights when you just don't feel like dining out, and there are enough beds and sofa beds to fit 7 should a guest show up for a night. An in-unit washer and dryer is perfect for quick loads of laundry during an extended holiday and a wet bar accommodates your coffee needs and has a wine fridge for your beer, wine, and water. The dining room table has a leaf and extra bench so you can serve a larger group. For the little ones in your party we have a pack and go set, high chair, and even sippy cups and bowls.

You'll sleep sound on our new mattresses and you'll love not having anyone above you walking around. On a recent afternoon, we counted 12 species of birds from the balcony, including the residential hawk we often see! Do take note this is a third floor villa with no elevator. We love not having folks above us, but this is your choice!

The Fiddler's Cove Beach & Racquet Club is a 23-acre, gated resort community at mid-Island, which makes it convenient to all of Hilton Head's destinations, including golf courses. We have two pools (heated March, April, and October and cooled June, July, and August), hot tub, game rooms, and gym. There are grills located near the building for you to use. The Breeze seasonal trolley stops right outside the main entrance to the resort.

Our happy place

This rental was probably the very best we have stayed in. We have been coming to HHI for over 10 years. This rental had lots of thoughtful details in it. Amy was great to work with.

Girls Trip 2024

Two friends and I have come to Hilton Head (specifically Fiddlers Cove) for the past 4 years. We love Fiddlers Cove, it's quiet and close to the beach and everything else we need. Amy was a great host! Very responsive to questions, letting us check in early, etc. The condo itself is very nice, clean, updated and well decorated. There wasn't anything we needed that she didn't have. Only suggestion I have would be to add a mirror somewhere other than bathrooms (possibly a full length one) and to provide more shelving in the bathroom. Overall we loved our stay and would stay here again.

Yeah!….a great vacation

Amy is a wonderful host. Very thoughtful and kind, During our stay we had a small tropical storm come through and she was right on top of it, Amy made sure we had want we needed and that we were safe. All was good. We spent the day chilling and watching movies we ventured to the beach to watch the ocean do its thing. Big waves crashing. roaring and rough, By the next day the water call and perfect. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything new, clean and in great working order. Staying in the condo makes it an easy beach vacation there’s chairs, umbrella, sand toys,.etc Best part - the beach is a 3 minute walk and there’s a lovely pool in the condo complex. Plus you can play plenty of golf on and off island. . We had an amazing time making HHI memories. Thanks to The Nest. Someday we will be back.

Homey Condo-Beach Vacay

5/5 recommend this condo! The condo was clean, spacious, and had the little extra details you don’t find in most vacation rentals! If you are looking for a good beach vacation that is a close walk to the beach and feels like home, this is the condo for you! Couldn’t be happier with our stay and the communication with vrbo host!

The Nest at Fiddlers Cove - amazing and thoughtful

Loved the condo, exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable. Owners were wonderful to work with, very friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. We were able to check in early which was very helps after the long drive. Kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of small appliances - can’t imagine a there’s anything missing you’d need. This is our third visit to this complex and this unit was the most well stocked. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Amy!!

Quick trip to Hilton Head

We came to the island for a quick getaway while my son was visiting. I received a text from Amy that we could get in early. The check in was easy with picking up the key and the directions were great. The condo is very nice and outfitted with everything you need down to sunscreen if you forget yours. We had a very enjoyable evening and slept really well on the great beds. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!

Perfect Start

We loved staying at The Nest! It was so nicely appointed and the homey touches (coffee, granola bars/water, towels, chairs) made it so easy. We only needed a good night’s sleep before making our way down to Orlando but this place absolutely gave the perfect start to our vacation. We were able to walk to the beach, swim in the pool, and get some good takeout (Slapfish). This would be my first choice for a stay back on Hilton Head. Thank you, Amy!

Great condo

The condo was very clean and very well stocked with kitchen supplies and dishes as we ate all our meals but one at the condo. The beach cooler, beach chairs and wagon came in very handy. The owners were very quick to respond to my questions. Very lovely condo.

Everything we needed!

We had a great time on Hilton Head! The Nest was in a beautiful location so close to the beach. The owners had everything we needed and more, including lots of towels and blankets, everything for the beach, games, and coffee. Amy was super responsive to all my questions and easy to work with. The condo has 2 pools, a game room that my kids loved at the rainy moments, a balcony for us to enjoy when the kids went to bed, and a beautiful beach access just 2 blocks away. It was quiet and peaceful, but definitely kid friendly. Thank you so much for everything!

Nicely remodeled

We loved our stay! Very clean and up to date. Convenient location to everything. My only watch out is the 3rd floor location. It worked well for us but if stairs are an issue we wouldn’t have been able to stay here. Amy was wonderful to work with and very responsive. Highly recommended!!!

Summer Vacation

This place was amazing for us. It is perfect for families with small children. It is very clean and updated. It is fully stocked with beach chairs and wagon and toys for the kids. We even had a small necessity basket waiting on us stocked with essentials like tooth brushes, Advil, shaving cream and razors. Which came in handy because we forgot some of those items. The owner was in constant communication with us too. Which really is a big plus. I don’t think anyone would be dissatisfied renting this amazing unit. Thank you for allowing us to stay here.

Very clean rental with lots of extra details. Quick responses from owner to all questions. Very short walk to beach through quiet neighborhood. All beach needs provided which really helped with packing. The larger pool was cooled and not crowded at all. No complaints about this place. Would stay here again

Perfect Stay

My girlfriend and I needed a place to stay for the night in HHI on our drive back up to PA from Florida. The Nest was a perfect spot to stop in and experience HHI! Felt like being at home with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a perfect spot near the beach in Hilton Head.

Amazing, beautiful, so clean and near the beach!

I travel a lot and stay at a lot of VRBOs and I will say that this is the cleanest, most comfortable, most well stocked place I’ve ever stayed. Absolutely immaculate, the appliances were high end, everything you could even imagine you might need and then some added in just for fun. The beach was only a couple blocks away and everything you need for the beach is provided at the condo - so we loaded up the chairs, into the wagon and the beach towels (that were all provided) loaded a cooler (also provided) and had a beautiful day down at the ocean. The condo was very quiet, the balcony, a little loud with cars going by, but lots of birds and people walking dogs so definitely a great place to sit. I would give it 10 stars across-the-board if I could.

About the host

Hosted by Amy O'Brien

Host profile image
Hi! We're Ed and Amy O'Brien. We live nearby, in the town of Bluffton, where we moved three years ago from the Boston, Massachusetts area. We'd been coming to Hilton Head for holidays and working vacations before we became South Carolina residents. We have travelled with our two boys over the years, doing golf and birding trips and found that Hilton Head is the perfect mix of sports, outdoor activity, and nature!

Why they chose this property

The Nest is in the perfect spot in our opinion--only a short walk to one of the best beaches on the island. Nearby there are bike rentals and trails, mini golf, trolly access, and easy access to all parts of the island.

The Villa itself is newly renovated and we added the things we always want when we do VRBO stays: good mattresses, smart TVs, a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of coffee!
