Family Spring Break

Had a great family stay over spring break. Appreciated all the beach gear, pool toys and bicycles. The house is a short walk to the beach, close to grocery and other amenities, and has a well stocked kitchen.

Beautiful Home

Our family really enjoyed this beautiful, beachy home. The patio, hot tub & pool are the best. Kitchen was very well stocked & great to cook in. Gas Grill was great too. Our first time staying in Folly Field area, much less traffic. Our only wish was that the beach was closer, it was a 10-15 minute walk w/kids & stuff. Beach was very crowded so we didnt go often. Plus our pool area was awesome at the house! Watching the Olympics from the pool, amazing!

Much needed family vacation

We rented this house for a family vacation. It was PERFECT! It had everything you needed even beach chairs, a beach wagon and plenty of bikes. The house is within walking distance to the beach and the backyard with the pool and gazebo is where we spent our time after the beach. There are plenty of puzzles and games, which a few of us did in the evenings and during the rainy times. We highly recommend this house and will definitely be renting it again. Thank you and we will be in touch for next year!

Well appointed family friendly house.

We loved the cute, beachy decor of this cozy family friendly home. Well stocked kitchen, big backyard/patio (though too hot to use some days) and close access to the beach on the provided bikes. Would definitely stay again.

This Place was Awesome!

We thoroughly loved this house. You all don’t know me but I am picky & annoying when I stay somewhere other than my home. I’m a 5 star hotel kinda girl (whether or not I can afford it…that’s what I expect…like I said, I’m annoying!) Somehow, Tonya made this home utterly fantastic. I have no complaints and didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend this rental and want to thank the owners for thinking of absolutely everything so that our trip was fantabulous.

Carolina on my mind

We had a fantastic time while staying at Carolina on my Mind. The house was so beautiful and clean and the beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The location of the house is PERFECT. Just a 8 minute walk to the beach and mini golf/arcade/restaurant. The house was fully stocked with all the necessities we needed. The pool/spa was like a mini oasis. All beach chairs and beach necessities are provided as well. Joe and Tonya were great hosts and very responsive when we text with questions. We hope to come back to SC someday and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us and our furbabies.

Great place to spend spring break

We love the convenience of the first floor layout and the décor. We love the easy access to the backyard and the outdoor furniture. I like to cook so appreciate the well furnished and large kitchen. We appreciate the short beautiful walk to the beach.

Family Vacation

We had 5 adults and 3 kids in the home and it worked great for us. Loved the pool and hot tub. The beach is about an 8 min walk, it’s a public beach so it was very busy. We enjoyed the home and would recommend it.

Family of 8 enjoyed our stay

We were celebrating our 50th anniversary with our daughter, son, and their families. Very nice accommodations. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Hurricane Debby decided to visit for 3 days. The house had puzzles and games to help pass the time. And flashlights and candles if the power went out (it didn't). We were able to make trips to restaurants and distilleries between rain showers. Wish we had had an opportunity to use the 8? bicycles but the weather interfered. There are about 10 beach chairs available for use too. Hope to visit again and would consider this house. We met the grey parrot and macaw on the porch across the street. Heard them whistling and talking and asked to meet them.

Terrific location

Our hosts were gracious, respectful and highly responsive throughout our reservation process and during our stay. They made terrific amenity suggestions (restaurants, local services, entertainment). This home’s interior is spotless! Kudos to the housekeeper. The pool and spa were perfectly suited to our needs. The location to the beach, restaurants, etc., was ideal.

Great place to stay for an amazing beach vacation

I cant say enough about this beautiful home. The location is amazing, and just a few blocks from the beach makes everything perfect. The house has a perfect layout and fit our large group of friends and family very well. We loved having the open floor plan as it made the house never feel cramped. I really cant say enough about this wonderful home, and we will be planning many more vacation weeks on Hilton Head Island in this amazing beach house.

Family Vacation in June 2023

We had an excellent time on our recent trip to HHI. The home was just how the listing described. Tonya was amazing to communicate with via VRBO and text. Adults and children were all comfortable in the home. The pool was amazing to have and the beach was an easy (3-5min) bike ride or (8-10min) walk away. Shopping and restaurants are a short drive away as well. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Family vacation

Lovely home! Everything you need at your fingertips. Pool and hot tub was great! Pergola area was awesome for our family. 5-8 minute Walk to golf/arcade/restaurant. Beach walk is easy but think more 10-12 minute walk so you need a drop off with your beach gear. Parking is available at the beach. Nice beach, easy access. Bikes available in shed and a nice 6 mile ride to Caligney shopping. Great stay!

Great house with an ideal floor plan.

The home was clean and completely ready for us upon arrival. We were very happy to be able to bring our Wheaten's with us who thoroughly enjoyed the title floors, the fenced in yard and the lovely walks to the beach each day. The owners provided so much of what is needed to spend a week away from home. We are so glad we picked this house to rent for a week! We will absolutely rent it again.

Former Military Family, married for 36 years with two grown boys, one daughter in law, one son in law and two Shitzus. Hobbies include Boating, fishing, Biking, Walking on the beach, Coaching, and anything outdoors. We fell in love with South Carolina when our youngest Son started attending University of South Carolina in 2007. We hope you enjoy our Beach home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We bought down in Hilton Head because we fell in love with the island when our son chose University of South Carolina, Beaufort to attend college and stayed on the island to teach Elementary School.

What makes this property unique

The Best thing about our home is the walk to the beach and the private pool/spa, the distance to the bike path, the quiet friendly residential community and the large private back yard. Also, our home is a perfect one level home, no stairs, room for plenty of parking close to the front door. We offer use of up to 8 bikes, beach chairs, all beach supplies and games.
