Overall we were satisfied at the house and the family enjoyed being together.Pros: Home with 8 bedrooms, very limited supply on the island ocean side.. Facility was clean. Kitchen and dining areas suitable and accommodate large gatherings. Beach location allows lengthy walks and bike rides. Close to Coligny Circle for shopping and restaurants. Bike paths available to travel across island. Good size pool with deck chairs. Porches with views of ocean. Elevator available to assist with luggage to second and third floors. Enjoyed the house. Maintenance issues were resolved expediently. Staff was responsive, supportive and helpful. Cons: Limited parking space. House is much too close to adjacent properties presenting noisy ambiance from neighbors, may be best in off season with less crowds if you don't want to be part of the neighbors constant and late partying. Door missing for 3rd floor "bedroom" not private. Pots and pans have scrapped teflon coating, not recommended for safe cooking. Purchased our own.

Property can't be any closer to the beach. Easy access to Coligny Circle area. Place is generally in good condition there were a few items that were excessively worn, especially in the kitchen. Also, problem with elevator that was not fixed during our stay.

We rented 9 Guscio for two weeks and had two groups of friends visit. Hilton Head has become our favorite destination. The house was big enough as we had 5 couples one week and 7 couples the next week. Very well appointed and being on the beach and centrally located on the island made it perfect for our friends. The owner happened to be staying next door and was very friendly and helpful. The Island Time staff was very accommodating and responsive. Our only issues were one of the ovens slow to heat up but did work and the elevator had a few glitches. Some of the elevator glitches were operator errors but a few were mechanical. We will be back.

Great house right on the beach in HH. Stayed with my large family. Pros: Location was perfect. 5 min drive to anything you need- supermarket, restaurants, shops, park, etc. The sizes of the rooms were great. It was also nice to have two living rooms on separate floors.
Cons: A lot of red ants by the pool and grill, so it was a little hard to enjoy laying out without getting bit. Some dishes were a little dirty. We stayed during a hurricane that passed for one day- the pool got very sandy and dirty and we requested for it to be vacuumed on the bottom but no one ever came. Rental company said they could not guarantee they come or provide an ETA which is a little weird as they should have a relationship with pool company to come and clean per their request.
Overall we had a great experience and would stay here again!

My family and I have been visiting HHI for over 40 years and this house has by far been the best house we’ve stayed in. The property manager was attentive and helpful. The house was clean and exactly as described. We will be booking again.

Overall it was a very good experience. The exterior of the house/pool was outstanding with the exception of the ants around the grill. The inside of the house needs some TLC. Also, small things like toiletries the company could be much more generous based on the $'s spent to rent for a week.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed over 4th of July week and hosted 4 families with kids in tow. The rooms were spacious and the layout was accommodating. The elevator made bringing luggage up and down a breeze. Pool and spa were great and the beach access is perfectly nestled in between the two major hotels so your beach is as private as you can get in HH. The concierge service was fantastic, very responsive and helped with all our requests for recommendations. The only two nits would be the kitchen appliances and beds. The oven took 45 mins to preheat to 450 degrees, the fridges were a bit dated and took a while to get the ice working properly. but this is all minor. And the beds/pillows lacked great support. But if you had a bed with the beach views, you can easily get past that. Great parking, great location to all the downtown fun for the kids and a beautiful home. Very spacious and high ceilings so you are never on top of each other.

We have rented 9 Guscio Way 9 times and think it is the best property on HHI. Convenient location near Coligny Circle yet tucked away on its own beach area and private road. The house is steps from the ocean so it’s easy to run back to the house for more toys etc. There is plenty of room for multigenerational guests. The elevator that goes top to bottom is ideal for unloading groceries straight from the car to the kitchen. Second full kitchen and full laundry room on top floor make everything convenient for everybody. This visit was an unusual situation with trash pick up. The bins were full when we arrived and trash was not removed the full week we were there. We were told the contractor at 1 Guscio Way and the trash company were in dispute about trash truck access to Guscio Way during remodeling at the end of our street.

We have been vacationing on HHI for 20+ years. We now have 4 generations. This house provided everything we needed, beach access, roomy great room, and plenty of room for everyone. We have already booked for next year. I could not have asked for more in a beach house. Thanks so much for sharing your property.

No regrets whatsoever. The house was perfect, a little dated, but certainly met and exceeded our expectations. Island time allowed us to check in a few hours early, which really helped with our grandchildren. Location was excellent. Highly recommend this property to larger families....

It was a great house, everyone had quiet private space, patio is great, great views, great kitchen, great location. It’s Kept up pretty nice, just some worn/ stained carpeting a few places. And odd pool/spa heating specific instructions which were only on one paper that got an iPad laid on top of, and which caused us a couple cool pool days after we paid to heat both pool and spa. No sign or instructions out by the pool to be sure everyone who used spa and pool could see, since there’s 14 adults using it. Overall great time with an entire family there.

Reviewer Comments:
We had the BEST time as a family. The house was beautiful; everything was clean and we had more room than we knew what to do with. The elevator allowed my mom to see the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor. We were able to have family meals, chill by the pool/hot tub an enjoy the ocean without having to take more than a few steps. We all were able to see gorgeous sunrises, a family of stingray frequented the beach, twice we saw dolphins and we had a sea turtle nest (that did not hatch; something we were all hoping for) right by our house. We rented bikes and many of us ventured to the Coligny Plaza almost daily. My son and his wife biked almost everywhere. The island offered something for everyone and this home allowed my mom to give us memories to last a lifetime. Each bedroom with bathroom offered comfort and space. The outside balconies provided a spectacular view. The living area, kitchen and dining area was spacious and allowed us to gather for movies, game night, puzzles --- and several home cooked meals. Having a grill was a nice extra. There was not a kitchen appliance that was not available and SO MANY other things that you could cook a meal for 2 or a meal for 20. The 3rd level had its own kitchen and dining space as well as a washer and dryer. The main floor laundry space had a top of the line washer and dryer, sink and ironing board; plus lots of SPACE. All bedrooms and common living spaces had TV's; simple to use. I do not think anyone will be disappointed in renting this home. The home sits at the end of a DEAD-END drive; there is room for four cars to be parked under the home; if you rent bikes; you can lock to a tree or fire hydrant. Throughout the whole rental process, the Island Time staff was always helpful and kind. I hope to come back to Hilton Head and will rent again with Island Time. I need a home with an ocean view; this location was perfect. Many thanks for a wonderful week and memories to last a lifetime.

The house was beautiful and clean with really nice art work making it more luxurious. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook meals. We were given a brand new grill when the other did not function well. When one air conditioner was not working the rental company was quick to respond and fix it. They were very concerned about our comfort. The beds were comfortable and our family had a great time going between the pool and the ocean. We were just a short bike ride away from all the shops and restaurants. We had plenty of room for 9 adults and 7 children ages 8, 6 and 4. My only suggestion is another umbrella for more shade by the pool. Other than that the house was a perfect vacation spot. We will rent again from this company. I hesitate to give such a good review because the house will be harder to get for our next vacation but they deserve a great review.

Overall, it was a great value. To have an oceanfront property with the amenities that this included at that price was, I think, a rare find. If I was critical of the house I'd say it could use a few things: felt a bit dated (minor wear and tear/dirty carpets/etc.); main floor needs another fridge; the balcony space of the main floor is small for such a large house; drainage around the pool needs fixed (all the sand from the where you rinse your sandy feet flows right onto the porch around the pool. All in all, I would stay here again and our family really liked the house.

Great house on the beach and one of the few that can accommodate a family group of 15. House is not new, but is generally in good shape. We had one minor maintenance issue and Island Time resolved it quickly. Two ongoing issues...one of the two dishwashers was very difficult to operate. And, a house this size will obviously be handling a large party and yet the only ice maker in the house is the one in the refrigerator. The house could use a larger capacity ice-making machine.

Five couples had room to spare in this lovely, well equipped home with views of the beach and sounds of the surf! We had all the equipment needed for Low Country Boil and beach breakfasts! The home is a short bike ride from Coligny and many restaurants. Beds and furnishings were all comfortable, and the bathrooms were sizable and sparkling clean. One coffee maker was not working and was quickly replaced by manager. Do be careful - the house is at the end of a narrow street blocked by a wall. Do a little planning for who needs to get a car out.
