We vacationed at Cedar Waxwing 19. We have been vacationing annually on Hilton Head since 1984, staying in oceanfront homes in Sea Pines for the past several years. As our family has grown, we’ve needed more space. We chose 19 Cedar Waxwing primarily due to its oceanfront location and its numerous bedrooms. The online pictures were impressive, but they did not adequately prepare us for just how beautiful this home is. It looks, feels and smells brand new. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with high quality appliances, cookware, knives and tools. The refrigerator is big enough for our family of eleven and the many dietary needs of those ranging from one year olds up to 60-somethings. The beverage center simplified coffee in the morning and afternoon/evening libations. The sound system kept us dancing whether at the pool, playing ping pong, cooking dinner, or showering after beach time. The pool is lovely and the shallow pad perfect for small children. The seemingly new beach chairs and bike rack in the garage were added bonuses. I could go on and on. The location is fantastic; the beach is practically private and it’s a lovely bike ride to anywhere in Sea Pines. We had a few minor maintenance issues that were all addressed within a few short hours of being reported. 19 Cedar Waxwing is by far the best beach house we’ve ever rented, and Destination Vacation made our stay even more pleasant from start to finish, providing info before and during our stay and cheerfully taking care of...
Read moreWe vacationed at Pelican 17. The home and the service exceeded our expectations. The booking process from start to finish was easy and straightforward, and we even received a phone call a few days before arrival to see if we had any questions. As for the home itself, it is gorgeous and clean. It is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The kids loved the pool, we spent a lot of time on the private and well furnished patio. The kitchen is stocked with anything you could possibly need for cooking (crab pots, 2 types of coffee makers, griddle, etc) and as a family with kids we really appreciated the plastic dinnerware. The bedrooms are spacious, and the dining table is large and perfect for a bigger family. For the game enthusiasts, there is a pool table, checkers game table, and a bocce ball court (balls are provided). This is the first time we have rebooked a vacation home for next year, that’s how happy we were with it. It really did fit everything we needed, and then some. As for the island in the summer, there are lot of things to do. Free concerts, fireworks, kids activities down in Shelter Cove, Lowcountry Celebration Park in Coligny, and of course the beach. After visiting many beaches on the Carolina coast, HHI has become...
Read moreWe vacationed at Scaup Court 09. All was great! When we contacted Destination re pool lights, just as an FYI, someone was out the next day. The house is in a great location and size for us. Walked to Salty Dog many a time and the beach twice daily. We really liked: The layout of the house was roomy and we liked that even in a small house there was a separation between the master and the other bedrooms. What is really awesome are the patios off the bedrooms! Privacy and other outside venues to use! The pool being enclosed (a short stucco wall) was a real plus. We have always wondered why Hilton Head does not require a fence around a pool for safety reasons! The amenities were fine (another serving bowl and a better broom would be good). Being pet friendly is the best! We truly appreciate these owners opening up their home to those who want to bring their pets. Our dogs felt right at home - no "accidents" and they were able to join us by the pool. The cleaning crew, which we did not know we would have (nice touch, but unnecessary) cleaned the grill! We were so surprised as we had made wings!
All in all a great visit - we do want to rent this same home again, perhaps 4 weeks. Thanks again - we truly enjoyed our visit. We love...
