About this property

BOTH master suite bathrooms beautifully remodeled in January 2024. New pool-area deck boards installed September 2024.

Escape to your own private paradise in this exquisite luxury home boasting a sparkling pool, lavish hot tub, chic tiki bar, and a secluded boardwalk leading you to the uncrowded, pristine beach. Indulge in unrivaled opulence and create lifelong memories in this idyllic coastal sanctuary. This is not your typical second row home since it is closer to the beach than many of the oceanfront homes along Forest Beach Dr., including our direct oceanfront home located at 11 Cassina Lane (listing 4601141 on HomeAway), there are no streets to cross between you and the ocean, and you are in a private gated community.

This stunningly beautiful 5BR/5.5BA two-story, coastal-decorated home has it all! Amazing ocean views, 4700 square feet of luxurious living space, open floor plan, fully-equipped kitchen, granite counter-tops, breakfast bar, dining area with seating for twelve, large second floor gathering area with big screen TV, wet bar and ice maker, two second story balconies with ocean views, huge deck with built-in pool, hot tub, tiki bar(!) and so much more!

This home is perfect for vacationers that are splitting the expense and want equal accommodations since there are two equally spacious king master bedroom suites with generous en-suite bathrooms that feature dual vanities, jetted soaking tubs, walk-in showers, and loads of storage. The three other bedrooms also feature nicely-equipped en-suite bathrooms so your entire group is going to be thrilled with the sleeping arrangements.

Weekly renters will love the two separate laundry areas- one on the main floor and one upstairs. Larger groups will enjoy the spacious garage that can accommodate up to six vehicles and driveway that can accommodate up to four more. And finally with super-fast Fiber Internet WiFi, you will all enjoy surfing the web at super-sonic 1GBPS speed!

Are you ready to relax? You’re gonna love the pool deck area. Featuring a large 12 x 20 built-in pool with attached spa, separate secluded hot tub, tiki bar (yes, tiki bar), with refrigerator, sink, Bluetooth sound bar, and HDTV, plus counter seating for four, large outdoor dining table, and a multitude of chaise lounge chairs, this pool deck cannot be beat! Plus when you are ready for the beach we provide high quality beach chairs.

You are going to LOVE 30 Knotts Way.

Excellent place/location just a short walk to the beach!

Very large well located house just one row from the oceanfront. There is a dedicated walkway from the house over a small dune to the beach. The hot tub and pool complete the outdoor amenities along with a tiki bar. There is a gas grill also. A two door garage makes access to the house easier than a usual VRBO. Location of this house is very convenient to Coligny Beach shopping (approximately 1 mile) and a food store (Piggly Wiggly). There is an ice cream shop in the Coligny beach retail area. We love this area and wouldn't hesitate to rent again. Bike paths make it nice for a safe ride if you choose. Internet service is superfast and there are numerous TVs in the house under the Tiki bar. This house has TONS of space for family members & friends. Beach chairs are present for use (6-8). The kitchen and fridge are well equipped with coffee maker, dishes, silverware, pots/pans, etc. Washer/dryer on both levels! You will enjoy your family vacation if you choose this place!

Great Family House

We loved our stay! The house was great and Brian, the owner was very responsive. We love the pool and easy access to the beach. Our older kids could bike to shopping and food. This was a perfect house for us-4 families. Each of the 5 bedrooms has a connected bath. Plenty of room to be together and have space!

Knotts Way Week

We had a wonderful week with our family at 30 Knotts Way! The house was spacious and comfortable. Brian was very responsive to several small issues that arose. The reason I can’t give 5 stars overall is due to the poor condition of the outside deck. The Tiki bar and pool area is what attracted me most to the house as we spend the majority of our time outside. The deck has many boards that are loose and lifting up, and some areas where nails were popping up. Again, when I raised this issue to Brian he immediately sent maintenance folks to look at it, but there was not much they could really do — the deck surface needs a major overhaul.

Four Family Generation Vacation

This is a beautiful second row beach home. Every room was extremely clean. Our family loved the private tiki bar (with full size refrigerator, tv, and sink) and pool. There was plenty of chairs around the pool area for everyone and plenty of beach chairs and towels. Brian was very responsive to helping us get outdoor tv setup so we didn’t miss our football games, and bringing us extra kitchen items that we requested.

First time back in twenty plus years

The house is beautiful and located in a great area. Brian was quick to get back with us on any questions or concerns. There is a lot of construction going on at one of the houses behind. It didn’t bother us too much. We still really enjoyed our time at the pool and tiki bar and at the beach.

Layout of house was nice. Outside really needs some attention. The decking around the pool had paint peeling off the boards and some boards just need replaced. Tile was missing from the pool. The Tiki Hut area looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. For what we paid I expected it to have been in better shape.

Four night stay.

Positives: The access to the beach was convenient but we spent most of our time at the deck area. It is positioned to get maximum sun, which was great for using the pool and hot tub in October. The house was very large and there were only five of us, so everyone had lots of room. Negatives: We found out after booking that the elevator wasn't in service. Do to health issues one of our criteria when choosing this property was the fact that it was handicap accessible with an elevator to all floors. We found out after booking that the elevator wasn't in service. The host offered us a refund, but we didn't want to start the search process all over since we were close to dates we chose. We have found that most high end beach homes with three floors of living space have elevators. Kitchen: Every cupboard was full and there was absolutely no place to put cereal boxes, snack bags etc. Everything that didn't require refrigeration had to sit on the counters. Tiki Bar: This area would be fantastic if stocked with plastic glasses and bar items, but every cupboard was packed with old five gallon paint cans and other junk. Master Bath: There were lots of cracks in the floor and tub area. In conclusion, the house was spacious and convenient to stores, restaurants and the beach. The pool and hot tub were great, but the house itself is starting to show it's age.

Beautiful views and convenient location

We had a great week at Knott's Way. The pool and interior property could use some updates and repairs, but doesn't take away from enjoying the house. The teenagers really enjoyed watching tv and listening to music in the tiki hut. We did have a younger dog with us and wasn't aware we would have to walk to the end of the street to a grass area for potty breaks. The pool area is fenced and they provide a plastic gate to cover the stairs. We used chairs to hold the gate, but a more adventurous dog might not be safe. Be aware the patio gets extremely hot. I know many come to the island to enjoy the restaurants, but we had a large group of teenage boys celebrating graduation and chose to eat at the house. If you like to cook in, be advised so that you can pack accordingly: The kitchen and Tiki area refrigerators were wonderful! They made plenty of ice and kept our food cold. The kitchen refrigerator is large. The stove has 6 burners and was great in preparing several dishes at one time. There is plenty of countertop space, and the cutlery was perfect for our menus. However, there is only one casserole dish for baking, size 9x15. There are no standard sized spatulas, no muffin tins, and the cookie sheets are older and very thin. There is only one oven and it is extremely small, more like one you’d find in a small apartment. There are no serving platters or dishes. There are plenty of plates and drink ware, but only 6 bowls. There are numerous beach chairs provided and the short walk to the beach made it easy to come back and forth to the house. The beach at the end of the path was not busy, but you're close enough to shipyard to have the lifeguard if you choose. The owner answered questions and concerns quickly.

Excellent Vacation Rental

Property lived up to high expectations. Communication with Brian was excellent and we had a phenomenal holiday week in late 2021. Proximity to the beach was approximately 75 yards and made it easy to visit multiple times/day or make a full beach day out of it. Pool and hot tub were excellent amenities. Kitchen was well appointed and stocked with all basic cooking needs. Would recommend this home to a family or friend.

Best vacation ever!

This was the best property we have stayed at in HHI. We loved the Tiki hut bar outside, it was close to the beach, the house was great with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. It has an open floor plan which we love. I would recommend to anyone with a large family gathering. It was great! Cindy from Statesboro, Ga.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Austin

Melissa and I are the proud owners of three oceanfront condos, one oceanfront home, and this beautiful home on Hilton Head Island.

We moved to nearby Bluffton in 2016 to escape the cold and dreary winters of Rochester Hills, Michigan. Brian is the former founder and CEO of a technology company and Melissa is a former Human Resources Director at a Fortune 50 company. We live in the Berkeley Hall golf community (which you will pass as you drive to the Island), where Brian enjoys golf, pickle ball, and physical fitness and Melissa enjoys driving our two twin 13-year-old girls to school on the Island, and driving them to dance and to swimming pretty much every day. Melissa really likes driving! Seriously though, we absolutely love it here and are very fortunate to be able to enjoy the great weather and many Island activities throughout the year.

Our full-time job is to manage our five properties and tend to the needs of our guests. Our goal is that you will rent from us every time that you visit Hilton Head so we work hard to ensure that you arrive to a home or condo in pristine condition with fresh linens and towels (our cleaning crew is the best on the Island). And we are always available by phone or text if something isn't quite right.

You are going to love our properties and our service. Please give us a try!

Why they chose this property

Wow, this home is gorgeous! It was built in 2002 and has a very open floor plan with lots of space for our guests. We love the dual king master suites that allow couples that are sharing the expense to have equal accommodations. We love the very private deck with tiki bar... no fishbowl here. And an often overlooked issue with oceanfront homes on Hilton Head is a lack of parking. That is no issue at all for this home since the dual garage doors open to a huge space that can hold six cars, plus the driveway will accommodate up to four more! Lastly, the exceedingly close proximity and private walkway to a private beach is the icing on the cake. This home has it all and our renters are going to LOVE it!

What makes this property unique

-Very close proximity to the beach
-Private boardwalk to the beach, no roads to cross
-Elevated deck for privacy
-Ocean view from deck and balconies
-Large pool and hot tub and second stand alone hot tub
-Tiki Bar on the deck... how cool!
-4700 sq ft with outstanding floor plan
-Dual master suites with large en-suite bathrooms
-Elevator in home for the mobility-challenged
-Six car garage
-So much more
