Home is perfect. We had 8 adults & 8 children. Everything is extremely well equppied for the perfect famiiy vacation. Location is amazing. Truly created great family memories for a lifetime.

Great for the whole family! We were able to get the entire family in this house which was really the best way to spend quality time together on vacation. Really felt like our own home at the beach with everything we could need or want. Options of the beach or the pool kept all the kids entertained endlessly, that or Madden football on the Xbox. The walk to the beach is so short it hardly seemed like a walk. Was so nice to have all the beaches toys and accessories and the cart to get them to the beach. The flashlights with the red light filter was a nice touch for beach walks at night. Really nice to have the ice maker in the basement as well to fill up the coolers. Property manager was very responsive and checked in on things midweek and which was appreciated. Minor points for improvements would be an upgrade to the toilet paper (paper thin) and the beach towels (some falling apart). Having a vacuum would be nice to mitigate the constant influx of sand through the front door. Would have also been nice to have a garage door opener to make getting bikes in and out of the garage much more efficient. Kitchen had all the necessary components but would have been nice to have a large skillet (only one smaller one available).

Our family which consists of 10 adults and 6 children enjoyed a most enjoyable experience at this beautiful beach house called Castle by the Sea. House had bountiful space and bedding for all. Large pool and very short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well supplied and bedding was very comfortable. God has been so gracious to our family and to enjoy such a beautiful vacation with children and grandchildren is such a blessing. Owner of property was extremely hospitable and vacation company very responsive. I highly recommend this property. We have already booked for next year!

This place was okay. Given the cost to stay, I was disappointed in a few things. First, the place has some cleanliness issues. Specifically, there were many dishes clearly not washed and just placed back into the cabinets with old food caked onto them. Gross. I mentioned this to the management company and they head scratchingly responded it wasn't their job to clean the dishes? Okay... There were many items broken or not working. These were generally smaller items, such as luggage racks, but this property is in need of a walk through with a detail oriented person. My biggest complaint is that the owner of the property was not, in my opinion, respectful of our stay as guests. We stayed the first week of September, which I guess is the "end of the season", but they had all kinds of vendors in and out of the place over the week. This got to be annoying, especially when a roofer arrived planning on doing work in the main area of the house where the pool and outdoor area is. I understand that things need to get done on a property, but do that stuff on your own time, not mine. Overall, the place was great for kids, fantastic location, easy check-in. Nice amenities for the kids. I am sure our stay had some hiccups that others wouldn't normally expect but my rating is based on our individual experience.

Our extended family (10 adults, 4 kids under 9) stayed here for a week. The house is in a great location. 1/2 block walk to the beach, just under 1/2 mile to Coligney shops and restaurants. The owners make it easy! The house has everything you could possibly want - in the kitchen, games/books for kids, high chairs, pack and play, and plenty of beach and pool items to borrow. The owner and property manager were easy to communicate with and we really enjoyed our stay. We hope to come back next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at castle by the sea. The location was close to the beach and a very easy walk. The house was nice and big so everyone had the bedroom arrangement required. One of our the 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers were great for our large group. The house was well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. The pool - hot tub was used a lot every day. Great house

The castle allowed us to bring our family together at one place for the first time in 4-5 years. We were able to eat together, play together and enjoy our grand children together. The elevator was a great addition as the stairs could get tiring, especially for seniors! Great beach access and the pool allowed us to relax day time and evening. The home had many things for our enjoyment, from beach toys, chairs and umbrellas to a pool table, gas grill and TVs and game room. Great place!

Our party of 18 thoroughly enjoyed Castle by the Sea! The house was beautiful and updated. The adult bathrooms and bedroom were comfortable and spacious. The kid bedrooms were charming, but the beds themselves weren’t very comfortable as there were no box springs. Little kids don’t mind, but the teenagers did. The game room was well used. The best thing and focal point of the whole house was the great outside area with the pool, hot tub, and plenty of tables and lawn chairs. It was fantastic! The beach is a minute away and we loved that it wasn’t that crowded. Coligny Park is a short walk away as well as a good Tiki bar. We Loved HHI!! The basement has a pool table, several beach toys and wagon, as well as an extra washer and an ice machine. The home feels private with all the palm trees around it. Very beautiful and relaxing.

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. It provided plenty of separate and communal space for multi-family group. Close to the beach and Coligny shopping with a beautiful pool with plenty of privacy from the street. We loved it!

The Castle by the Sea is as advertised. It is a short walk to the beach (2 minutes or so) and a short walk to Coligny Plaza. The house was fantastic. We had six college students with us and they loved the house, the rooms, the pool and the hot tub. While half of them were old enough to go out to clubs and restaurants, they found the amenities at the house to appealing to leave. We rented some bikes for the week and everyone had the opportunity to use them. We used the chess board for a couple of games and enjoyed the pool table. The kitchen is fully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the property. We had great communication with the property manager and the owner Melynda. There were no significant issues or problems and overall it was a fantastic stay. I highly recommend the property. It clearly will make younger kids happy but our group of young women loved it just as much!

Wonderful property near beach and shopping. House was very nice and accommodated our group of 14 well. Owner and property manager very responsive.

A quick walk to the beach, a minute to the private pool and hot tub, a 10 minute walk to restaurants . . . What more could we have asked for? Oh, and a bicycle ride on the beach and on a system of paved off-street paths! Ideal house for the entire family.

We vacay annually during fall break. We decided to give HHI a try and the location was perfect. We appreciated the referral on bike and chair rentals and our property was fabulous!! Plenty of space. Super kid friendly and just steps to the beach. Our family enjoyed the pool and we grilled out in a few occasions.

Home was nice, comfortable and had everything you could want! We had a few issues but the management company was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Over all, a great stay!

We have stayed here 5 years ! We love it!

House was big close to beach and coligny house was kid friendly

Castle by the Sea is a true gem. Our family of 17 loved everything about it…the location, one block walk to the beach, pool, easy and nice walk to Coligny area, dinners around the pool, etc.. The house offers a beautiful space with ample opportunity for togetherness and individual recharging. All bedrooms are comfortable with Disney themed rooms for the kids. Melynda, the owner, is easy to work with and responsive. The entire check in, property management, and beach gear rental process is well oil. Our family had a blast making forever memories!!

We loved everything about the house, location and amenities

Had a lovely holiday away with the whole family. Excellent accommodations and location.

Perfect in every way for our family of 14… most well-stocked in all of our travels, lacking nothing! We had amazing weather during our Thanksgiving stay, and there was something for everyone in this lovely home during the chilly mornings and late evenings!

The house is beautiful with an amazing pool - Just a block from the beach. There was enough room for our family of 14, with enough towels, and utensils so we never ran out of anything. The 2 dishwashers made kitchen clean-up a breeze, since 14 ate at each meal, not to mention snacks. We also appreciate the 2 washers and dryers. The house was well-maintained. Location was superb, as we walked to the beach and either walked or biked to Coligny. My grandchildren loved all the toys, and the basement was appreciated on the 1 rainy day that we had with its pool table, slide and giant chess board!

This house is a perfect house for large families. High chairs, baby gates, pac n play etc. were provided. The walk to the beach took just a couple of minutes with no busy streets to cross. Kitchen and family room were spacious and kitchen was well stocked.

Close proximity to the beach. Beautiful home and awesome pool and hot tub. Would definitely go back.

We stayed with a group of 10 adults and 7 kids aged 2-9 and had plenty of room to spread out. We loved the location in town - we often walked or biked to ice cream, groceries, etc in Coligny Plaza, but were also a very short walk to the beach. We were able to go back and forth from the house to the beach easily which was great with small kids. The baby gates and kid-friendly dishes were much appreciated. The kitchen was perfect for cooking for a crowd - the two dishwashers were amazing. Looking forward to a return trip!

Our family and friends had a much needed, marvelous week at Castle by the Sea following a year long Covid delay! The house is very spacious, spotless, and gorgeous on all fronts and is fully equipped for kids' safety and entertainment, including built-in child gates on every stairway entrance, high chairs, and pack 'n plays. With all the amenities, including two dishwashers, the kitchen area was perfect for meal prep and socializing, and the large table and extensive counter seating allowed for group sit-down meals as well as evening games. Comfy mattresses, pillows, and beautiful furnishings made the bedrooms a nice haven for sleeping or relaxing away from the crowd. And although we didn't have a lot of young kids, the three children-themed bedrooms were adorable. We spend a lot of time in the beautiful pool/hot tub area, which is surrounded by a huge deck with ample seating for big groups. And the beach is conveniently just a short hop down the lane! Debbie, the owner, was terrific in answering all my pre-stay questions, and the in-town rental company and their app provided all the necessary access info during our stay. We had absolutely no glitches! It was an absolutely super week loaded with many fond memories! Wendy Devine

Always a great time at this beautiful property !! Thanks.

The house was perfect for multiple families. Everything you needed was available. The pool was excellent and the walk to the beach was very short. Everyone enjoyed being there. Best house we have stayed in during many years off and on going to Hilton Head Island. When we come back to HHI, hope the house will be available. THANKS

Our whole family loved this house! It is beautifully decorated and landscaped, well maintained and is equipped with everything you could need to prepare family meals for a large group. The two dishwashers were a real bonus as we had 13 people at each meal. The grands loved the kid themed bedrooms and the play area on the second floor. The elevator too was a real help in moving in and out. The pool is beautifully landscaped and felt very private and the beach was a very short walk away. Our whole family had a fantastic time! So much so that the grandkids were asking when we could come again. Debbie Finn has the best properties and is great to work with if there are any questions. She has properties in Orlando (in Formosa Gardens Estates) as well where we have stayed.and are already booked for a stay in April 2022. You can't go wrong in renting her vacation proprties!

The property was everything as advertised. Plenty of space for our group; 3 couples, 1 great grandmother and twin grandsons. The location and proximity to the beach was perfect. We would highly recommend!!

We celebrated Thanksgiving, with ages 6 to 89. The house is beautiful and spacious. It was nice that everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen truly is fully stocked and we especially loved having two dishwashers. The hot tub felt fabulous. We loved the close proximity to the beach and to Coligny. We biked, put puzzles together, cooked, watched movies, played Wii, enjoyed the ocean and dolphin watching, and all the other fabulous activities that Hilton Head and the house offered.

Don't get me wrong the house was amazing as was the location. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful every step of the way. However we experienced more bumps than expected at a house of this caliber. There was trash left in the kids bunk beds, the ice maker was not working in a house for 18 people, a rotting watermelon was left in the basement fridge, the dinning room table chandelier was falling out of the ceiling, and I had no communication on the arrival details until I was on my way to the house and asked the owner. Overall the owner was very accommodating and the house is a 5 star house. The cleaners and management teams need to do a better walk-through before turning the house over.

This was our 2nd time staying here and I have already booked for 2021. What a great house with everything you need to cook any dinner you could want. The pool is great and the grandkids had a blast !! They even asked to go to bed by 9:00 every night !! Thanks again, Dave and Family.
