This house is fantastic! Everything has been updated, remodeled, etc. also, it is literally a 3-5 minute walk to the North Forrest area of Coligny Beach- we effortlessly spent hours at the beach each day and it was a blast. The house has tons of room. Our group included two families, 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 10-20). Everyone loved their rooms and felt like we were in the lap of luxury all week. The large open concept family room/kitchen was the hub of our families day to day activities. The kitchen was exceptional and our outdoor space including the spa and pool was a decadent luxury to the end of our beach days and a wonderful convenience for everyone on the trip to enjoy at any time. The saddest part of our trip was leaving. We love Hilton Head and it would be amazing if this was our permanent vacation home every time we visit Hilton Head Island.

Perfect for our family vacation. The house is in a great location; short walk to the beach and Coligny Plaza. It was very clean when we arrived and had starter supplies until we could get to the store. Plenty of room for all of the family to gather outside, the living room, and around the table. The property manager/owner was timely in returning communication regarding the hot tub status. Not sure if it was just the time of the year but we had to clean the pool/sweep the pool deck every day for the acorns/needles. The pool company did come mid-week to give it a deep clean. The pool deck could use some work as far as uneven pavers and cleaning out the needles and acorns. Overall this is a fantastic property and with the upgrades they are planning will be an in-demand home for vacations!

The bunk bed room was key to this house being fun for kids. The pool was clean and well-maintained with easy quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay!

It was our first trip to Hilton Head and it did not disappoint. If I had to do it again, I would stay here. The pool is big and was the perfect temperature. The house is very comfortable and welcome and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach is short and direct and were happy to see how close it is to the town too. Everything you need is within walking distance including restaurants, shopping and even a grocery store. I saw a comment on another post that the house wasn't cool in the summer but we did not have this experience. We were there during a very hot time (July) and the house was cooled perfectly and enjoyed the ceiling fans as well. We took are dogs with us and had a nice neighborhood to walk them, a fenced area around the pool for them to be with us, and we were even allowed to take them on the beach (during the summer after 5pm to before 10am. It was a great stay! Thank you so much for sharing your house with us!

This property is great overall. Clean, close to the beach, and comfortable.
4.6
Great place to stay. A few blocks from the beach and easy access to the beach. Family had a great time on the beach and the pool area. Not far from Coligny Plaza. Had a few minor problems but the property management took care of issues. Would stay in this location again if the opportunity presents itself.

If I could have, I would have liked to have given this property a 3.5 out of 5 stars. But, we couldn't bring ourselves to give it a 4 star rating.
The things we liked were mostly everything that we already knew about the property - the location being the primary positive. Also, the pool and hot tub were fantastic. The pool was heated well (first week of April) and the hot tub was great. The back patio area was fantastic.
The negatives - the place was very tired and run down. All the dressers and most of the couches seemed old. Kitchen cabinets were beaten up terribly. The decor we knew from the pictures, but the age/wear was more than expected.
Also, the cleaning crew didn't do a good enough job. There was a dirty kleenex and sock under the bed, and one of the living room areas hadn't been swept as their were leaves and sand on the floor.
For the price, it wasn't a bad place. The location and pool area are fantastic. If you don't mind some age on the furniture either, you'll enjoy your stay here even more than we did!
As always, HHI, and particularly North Forest Beach area was fantastic. Thank you!

This was a nice VRBO - walkable to cute shopping/cafes. It could use some updates (especially the kitchen) but we didn’t cook much. King beds were excellent - bunks were to be desired. Planned on using the hot tub but unfortunately it was out of commission. The gas grill was excellent - even had a new propane tank for when the attached one ran out.

This is the best location- easy walk to restaurants, beach, shops, etc. I would check before you pay to hear the poolZ our youngest was so excited about the hot tub and heated pool, and neither worked. The weather was cooler for this time of year , but others in the neighborhood worked. Other than this it was perfect.

Fabulous location, clean home and easy check in

Nice location and close proximity to the beach. Nice updated bathrooms and laminate flooring. The house inside could use some deep cleaning, but I suppose it is the end of a busy summer season. The spa was a little disappointing because it took so long to heat up.
4.6
This property was a great spot for a family vacation. Very short walk to the beach and close to the shops/restaurants in the Coligny plaza. The pool was an added bonus. The house could use a little love in terms of general maintenance and a good, deep clean. Overall, I would recommend a stay here at the Happy Heron.
4.6
Good experience.
4.6
Positive: Great, short walk to the beach, nice pool, nicely stocked kitchen, adequate washer/dryer, nice sized rooms.
Less Positive: house was not vacuumed, we had to clean clog in vacuum to use. Once repaired we swept up 2 canisters of dirt. Also the air conditioner struggled to cool to 75 and rarely hit the set point of 73.
4.6
The property itself is what we expected from the description. We were able to walk or ride bikes to shopping, restaurants and the main beach. We had access to a more private beach within a short walking distance, as well. Day trips in the car were also easy. So glad we were able to visit this property.

Great location and house, a short walk to the beach and Coligny Plaza. Minor issues with cleaning service that we communicated to management company.
4.6
The house is in the perfect location - directly across the street from the beach and *just* down the street from the crowded downtown. You can keep to yourself and feel alone on the island or enjoy the hustle and bustle of Coligny Plaza.
4.6
Size & space was awesome for our family.
Furniture in TV room & living room needed updating, area rugs filthy wi/dog hair. Pool was dirty upon arrival, asked owner to have it cleaned but not done. The neighboring house had constant noise/people in & out at all hours/very suspicious & scary.
