Weekend at the Beach with Family

The location to the beach, grocery store, and local restaurants was perfect. Communication through the Vacasa app was prompt and efficient. Would definitely recommend this location, but would strongly suggest replacing the mattresses. We thorough enjoyed HHI.

Great dog friendly, family hideout!

Clean and charming remodeled home from the 1950s. One block from the beach and easy to walk to the beach. Very dog friendly house and yard. Parking for up to 4 vehicles. Easy access to all local restaurants and island entertainment. Great for a family with kids!

3 Moonshell Road

Loved the neighborhood and proximity to the beach! We enjoyed our weekend here, but I noticed a few things that would prohibit me from booking a longer vacation. The main floor is upstairs which would have been cumbersome if we had brought a lot of luggage. The separate dining room was nice; however, the kitchen was small and I think it would have been difficult to prepare a full meal given the lack of counter space. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out, but unfortunately, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Overall, the home was lovely and mostly clean.

Overall great stay, but terrible mattresses

Prior to our trip I read reviews regarding how uncomfortable the mattresses were so I reached out to Vacasa, they reported the mattress situation had been resolved. I’m pregnant so comfortability was really important. But regardless of being pregnant, these mattresses would not be comfortable for anyone…they were the worst I’ve ever experienced. We ended up having to buy a nice mattress topper from Walmart to survive the rest of the nights after attempting the rock hard mattress the first night. We were both hurting so bad the next day. It was mostly disappointing since I had reached out regarding the issue and they said it had been resolved..there is no way anything had changed with the mattresses. Hopefully continued reviews will help resolve the issue. Everything else about the stay was great! Looks kinda sketchy upon driving up, but looks much more decent inside. Great accessibility and minimal walk to the beach, great area of Hilton head and convenient to everything. We loved that it was dog friendly so that we could bring our pup! The only other thing is that it would have been nice for a few k-kups for the keurig to be provided.
