Great condo!

We loved this condo! Nice quiet location. Just a short walk to the beach. Everything was perfect from the screened porch looking out toward the pool to the beautifully upgraded kitchen and rooms. We will definitely book this one again! Everything was amazing! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Unwanted Guests/Cockroach Infestation

We arrived on Saturday in H.H. Our visit in this unit went downhill quickly! We woke up Sunday morning to an infestation of cockroaches scrambling the counters in the kitchen. I have pictures/videos as proof. Adult and nymphs. I called and e-mailed the Management company which was quick to respond and sent an exterminator out on the same day. Monday we woke up and roaches were in kitchen and living room. Apparently, it takes a while for them to die. I called the Management company and stated this is a health issue and we did not want to stay in this unit. The Management company gave us the option to move us to a much bigger complex or refund our money. We took the refund and were able to find, on our own, and rent a house in Sea Pines. We were/are disappointed that we lost an entire day of vacation packing/looking for housing/and moving. We've stayed in H.H. at many homes and have NEVER had an infestation of roaches! We struggle to believe this unit was properly sprayed for bugs. The unit needs some TLC. The couch could use cleaning. Lose the multiple pillows that have seen fresher days. As much as we love H.H. we DID NOT LOVE THIS UNIT!

Perfect family condo!

This is the second time my family has stayed at this property, and we really love it for many reasons. The location is great - just a short walk across the street and down a very pretty path to the ocean. We also love that the patio is so close to the private pool, which never had more than a few guests at a time. We were WOWed by the improvements they've made to this condo! The screened in patio room was such a nice addition! We also love the built-ins and window seat that they added to the dining room. The kitchen was well-stocked and all the appliances worked great. The upstairs loft now has a pull-out sofa bed which my kids loved. The electric reclining chair is also nice! Both bedrooms were spacious and had more than enough room for my me, my husband and our two kids. The keypad doorknob was super handy. Just a great condo overall! Only a few negatives (which were not deal-breakers at all for us) - we could have used more washcloths and towels (only one set per person was provided), a couple tiles in the bathroom floors were loose and shifted when you stepped on them, we could not get the living room tv to work at all, and wished the extra pillows had been cleaner/newer and had pillowcases on them. Overall though, we just love this condo and look forward to staying at it again during our next trip to HHI! :)

Nice but dangerous

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but the place wasn't very clean. There was dog hair every where , the couch had lots of stains, and the floor needed to be mopped. So we went to the store to get things to clean. Once we took care of the previously mentioned, it was very comfortable and enjoyable. Also, there is an appliance in the kitchen that is not grounded (either the microwave or toaster oven) because we got shocked a few times when touching both...which is really dangerous. The owner is rather slow to respond to messages (took over 24 hours to get a response) so we didn't let him know as our stay was coming to an end. Hopefully the owner will read this review and fix that problem immediately. Overall a good time and we will definitely rent again if the'shock' issue is resolved.

Last summer vacation with grandkids before school starts

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon entering, the unit seemed fresh and clean. While unpacking we noticed a mold smell coming from master shower. After further inspection there was black mold on shower walls and floor. I chose to clean myself since it was obvious the housekeeping didn’t clean properly for sometime. Loose floor tiles in both bathrooms, over an 1” debris under couch. Upon leaving, we noticed black mold on ceiling at front door. 2 beach chairs broken, rugs had a ton of sand in them. Close proximity to beach with bike-4mins. We contacted hhi rental company about all things listed above. Never heard back from them. Wouldn’t recommend

Beautiful condo! Perfect location

Rating Details: 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 were so pleasantly surprised by this condo. It has been updated since the photos we saw. New flooring throughout and some nice new touches in the living room. So this condo is even better than we expected. It is a two minute bike ride or 4 to 5 minute easy walk to the beach however there is an alternate access 4 minutes bike ride in the other direction that we enjoyed more. Pool was awesome & we will definitely stay here again.

Sister get away

We had a wonderful visit at this lovely villa. It has a beautiful view of the pool. We enjoyed having the bikes right there and the great trails in sea Pines. Loved being so close to the beach club in Sea Pines. We bought a pass for the week and enjoyed the different restaurants and Harbortowne. We had everything we needed but would have liked bigger wine glasses. The water was running slow in the bathrooms, we called and they had it fixed the same day.

BEST STAY EVER!!!!

The property was so convenient and easy access to the beach. The house was beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. Check in and check out were effortless. One of the bikes we had needed repairs and we called and they brought us a new bike in under an hour. We ended up renting a few more and those were delivered then as well. The pool is right out the back door. The house had many helpful amenities I would recommend this property to anyone! What a great experience! You will not be disappointed!!!!!

Location, about 5 minute walk, lots of beach area

Property was nice, comfortable and in a good location. The cleanliness of the property left a lot to be desired. A few examples; Shoes were under the bed, along with large amounts of dust and dirt. In the tiled shower, hair covered the drain. Due to this, felt the need to clean the areas that we used. Did not trust the extra cleaning , performed by the cleaning staff. We understand it is hard to have enough staff due to the pandemic. Hopefully this improves. Did not notify the property manager, took care of cleaning ourselves.

Perfect condo for our vacation!

Our family had a fantastic time in this great condo on our recent trip to HHI! It was even nicer in person than in the photos. The location was great - not too close to the business of Coligny, but still an easy bike ride or drive to wherever we wanted to go. The condo is right next to the entrance to Sea Pines (which has Salty Dog, Harbour Town and lighthouse, etc.), so the proximity to here was great, too. The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes on foot. Have to keep an eye out for cars crossing the road, but it was never a problem. The walk through the foliage on the way to the ocean was so pretty. Lots of awesome houses along the path to see, too! All of our neighbors at Ocan Gate Villas were wonderful. It was never crowded and there was always plenty of space at the pool. We LOVED that it was right off the back patio and just a few steps away. The pool was so clean and well maintained nearly every day we were there. My husband and I couldn't belive how spacious the condo felt - the high ceilings and double patio doors really made it feel open. The bathrooms and kitchen were newly remodeled and very nice. (One of the floor tiles in the guest bathroom was a little loose but not a big deal.) There are so many items in the condo tucked away in the drawers and closet that it had everything we needed and more. I was so happy they had a Keurig, too! We used the grill almost every night and were pleasantly surprised it was a nice Weber one, too! Having the washer and dryer there was especially great, although the washer was a bit old and didn't have a big capacity, it worked like a champ. The only downside to our stay was that it was not cleaned as well as it could have been before we arrived. We found two used bath towels wadded up behind the door of the guest bathroom, and there was clearly still leftover crumbs on the kitchen counters, a few hairs on the floor, etc. I didn't mind cleaning it up (I'm a mom after all), but I wish it would have been a bit more clean when we arrived. Overall, we really enjoyed this great condo and are planning to return next year. We would absolutely book here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing this great little home with us! We made so many wonderful memories there. :)

Nice Beach Condo

The condo was clean, nicely furnished and decorated, with updated kitchen and bathrooms, and comfortable beds. The master king bed had a firm, foam mattress. There were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small loft upstairs. The laundry room and half bath were on the first floor. Nice, small deck with patio furniture. The pool was very close, right in the condo's backyard, and clean. It was a bit of a walk to the beach (this is subjective, I know), a little too far for us. Next time, we'll stay closer to the beach. Probably a 10 minute walk down a sandy path through the trees. 4 aluminum beach chairs with backpack straps and 2 bikes provided. The beach chairs were lightweight and easy to carry on your back. Two parking spots right in front of the condo's front door, which was very nice for unloading. There a LOTS of restaurants and shopping nearby. We spent most of our time at the beach, in the pool and at restaurants. Overall, a relaxing, fun stay.
