My family and I have been returning to this charming summer house for 30 years. As a child, I enjoyed its cozy ambiance with my cousins, and now, as a parent, it's even more delightful. The house is exceptionally well-maintained, offering plenty of space with numerous bedrooms and bathrooms and a well stocked kitchen, perfect for families. Its location, just three rows from a very private family friendly beach, ensures easy access to the sun and surf, while proximity to bike paths, great golf, South Beach, and Harbor Town adds to the convenience. Our most recent stay here was a nostalgic journey filled with new memories. We’ll be back again soon! Highly recommend for a quintessential Sea Pines experience!

This beautiful home is a very short walking distance to the beach and the ocean. It’s located near South Beach. It also has a well stocked kitchen and a barbecue grill for cooking. The biking trails are amazing!
4.0 / 10.0
The location of this property was great. Unlike the location the house was far less than perfect. The biggest problem was that the A/C did not provide adequate cooling. With the thermostat set to 72 degrees in the house the temp in the house would rise to 78-80 by mid afternoon and stay there till after 10 pm when the outside temp was 84-86. Mid-day temp outside was 94-96. We asked several neighbors about their A/C and they advised they had no problem.
We communicated with the owner regarding the A/C who had an HVAC company inspect the A/C on two days. They found that the filter was very dirty and replaced it. They advised the unit was working as expected. The owner commented that the A/C was doing its best given the conditions. Note that the A/C is a 3 ton unit for a 2,700 square foot house. According to American Standard this house should have a 4 ton unit.
We advised the owner of other issues,
1. Mixer doesn't work
2. Blender only partially works
3. Patio furniture in poor condition, coffee table falling apart, seat cushions have large holes
4. Some fans don't work or don't work properly
5. Holes in sheets in downstairs master bedroom
6. Potential electrical risk - exposed wiring.
7. Based on our experience renting properties in Sea Pines for over 20 years we were surprised to have only one set of towels in the bathrooms and no starter set of hand soap, etc.
We have pictures but are unable to post on VRBO.
Good luck

Great house. Lots of retro decorations comfortable. Well equipped. Two of the bedrooms are beneath the kitchen dining room area and it can be a little noisy but definitely bearable. We will definitely be back. Super close to the beach which was fantastic.

Beautiful home with easy beach access
Our stay at 8 Cedar Waxwing was amazing. The property is beautiful and just as described. Beach access was very easy, and the beach itself was not crowded, even during a holiday week. Judy was terrific to work with and was able to solve our one issue quickly and easily. We look forward to our next stay!

Our Sea Pine Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at 8 Cedar Wax Wing. The house was comfortable and met all our needs for our family of 9. The owners provided us with all the information we needed and were quick to respond to a minor plumbing issue. However, our most favorite place was the beach. It is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever visited. A wonderful, relaxing stay for the whole family!

AWESOME PLACE!!! PERFECT LOCATION

Fantastic location
Overall it's a fantastic experience, except the air conditioner. There is one thermometer to serve both floors, first floor is too cold for us, may lower than 70, but the second floor is still hot and hard to reach the set temperature of 75.

ALL furniture and beds were extremely uncomfortable and worn out
The location was great. The house was big enough but no one slept well the entire week because of uncomfortable beds and couches which makes for a not so great week. It’s hard to enjoy time away when your body hurts all week. Teflon pans need to be replaced. Did not use them because of deep and plentiful scratches. Upstairs was very hot. Downstairs very cold. No tv in family room upstairs. Sliding doors difficult to open. Toilets too small for normal sized people. Shower downstairs doesn’t drain well. For the price, I would have expected better quality accommodations. Would come back for the same price if furnishings were improved considerably.

Perfect location in Sea Pines for family fun
We had a great stay at this home in April 2021. We had more than enough room as a family of 5 and loved the location! The beach is a short walk away, as are the bike trails (we easily biked to breakfast several mornings at the Salty Dog). The home had all the basics we needed, but we did pack a smaller tv and Roku after reading other reviews - there is a tv in the home, but it’s downstairs, not on the main kitchen/living room level. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics you should need and the screened porch offers a great place to enjoy evening meals. Overall, it was the perfect place to spend spring break. Our kids (11, 9 and 9) are already asking when they can come back :).

The Beach is calling
The house is dated but everything works well. We were there for a holiday and cooking was no problem. The location is perfect as the beach is a very short private walk.

Fall break
Really liked the house and location. The proximity to the beach was wonderful. I do believe with 4 bedrooms and 2 living areas there should be more than the lone television downstairs. It was not a big detractor from the home/stay.

Nice privacy and close to beach
We spent six nights here in mid-March, during the coronavirus scare. Had a great time relaxing on the deck and at the beach. Kitchen was well-stocked with cookware, dishes etc. as advertised. Some of the deck furniture was a tad rusty but that was a very minor problem. Would rent here again, for sure.

Fantastic Hideaway in Sea Pines
Spent a week at this neat property with five adults and four kids. Plenty of space for all without feeling cramped. The house itself is tucked into the trees so it has the feeling of being more isolated than it actually is. The path to the beach runs right next to the house and is a short walk that doesn’t require crossing any roads. In fact, we saw several deer in the sand dunes on the way to the beach! There is a nice screened porch with a ceiling fan which is where we ate our meals—it is a perfect spot to have breakfast and start your day outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils. We rented bicycles from South Beach Rentals, and they delivered them to us, so we spent a lot of time biking all over the resort, including out on the wide beach at low tide. This home was perfect for our needs and we would happily stay here again!

Best Vacation Spot!
This house is a hidden gem! The hideaway is spacious, clean and the screened in patio is a great spot for family game night. You're a short walk to the beach and less than a mile to South Beach- which is a quick bike ride for ice cream or an adult beverage! There's enough space to get away but small enough to be cozy. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for a great family vacation!

Christmas at the Coast
I loved everything about this property and the area in which its located. The layout was perfect for our group, it was just off the path to the beach, and so peaceful.
We had a wonderful family Christmas with plenty to see and do nearby.

Awesome home and great owners!!
Labor Day weekend is typically a family tradition in Hilton Head, SC. We try and stay somewhere different every time because our family is on the larger side and we all like and do different things. Well it was also the weekend Hermine arrived. We missed one day of our vacation but Mrs. Holden was more than happy to extend our stay with a later check out on Monday as well as a refund for our missed day on Friday. The home was relaxing and so convenient to the beach...we never left except for our walk to the beach and a drive for groceries. Will def. book again, thanks so much for everything!!

Wonderful getaway!
Our group of two combined families of 9 guests found the house was an excellent choice for us! This home was by far the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in on our annual trips to Sea Pines! Kitchen was well stocked and the beach access was perfect! We definitely plan to rent from the Greggs again! Extremely helpful in all aspects of the rental process!

Comfy beds. Extra fridge in laundry room was a nice surprise. Will use this

Great beach house for family getaway!
A very nice house. Beautifully furnished - especially for a rental house! A two minute walk to the beach; spacious and quiet. Except for teenagers who wished for more than one TV, there was nothing not to like! We'd definitely go back.

Beautiful
This house was just perfect for our annual get together with our two friends from high school and their families. It has everything you would ever need. Short walk to a beautiful beach that isn't crowded. We rented bikes, golfed, went paddle boarding, rode horses and chilled at the beach. It was perfect. The owner is very helpful and goes above and beyond to make sure you stay is great. Marley's and the Salty Dog were our favorite restaurants. This place is just perfect.

Big family home - awesome location
This is a great house, and it is so close to the beach. It's just a quick walk on a nice private trail, and you are on a beautiful, quiet beach. The owners were so wonderful to work with, very attentive and flexible. The house is roomy and very clean. We hope we get to stay here again next year.

8 Cedar Waxwing
We loved our stay at 8 Cedar Waxwing! We have stayed in hotels and condos in other parts of Hilton Head, but really enjoyed this house in Sea Pines area. It was perfect for two families with four adults and four children. We enjoyed eating meals on the screened in porch, and it truly felt like a private hideaway when we were outside because of all of the trees that surround the house. The house was very clean and well-maintained. We drove to the Salty Dog and our kids were also able to easily take their bikes there along the bike paths. Hilton Head has so much to offer for visitors, and this house was the perfect place for us to be able to enjoy a wonderful vacation.
