Beautiful charm!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect! We’ve been coming to HH for years and this house was a favorite! The kitchen is very well stocked. The location is perfect. My teens were able to bike to the shops and Starbucks everyday. I was initially concerned about a lack of shade in the back by the pool but there were three large umbrellas over the seating area and the pool got plenty of shade in the late afternoon. We’ve never gone back to a rental property because we like to try new places every year, but we may change our minds with this home. Would highly recommend. We left a fun puzzle for future guests to enjoy.

Family visit to HHI

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at 23 Ruddy Turnstone for a week while on island to visit my mother. We had six of us in the house and it was perfect. Everyone had a beautiful room with a full bath and no disagreements about who got which room. The home is spacious and well appointed. There was plenty of room to sit together and quiet nooks to sit and get away. The management company was very responsive each time we reached out with questions or for help.

Lovely house, highly responsive management company

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at 23 Ruddy Turnstone. The house is lovely and extremely well maintained with high end appliances, nice linens and towels, well stocked kitchen. We experienced a hurricane threat during our stay and the management company kept us informed and brought over flashlights which the house failed to have. The management company always responded promptly to all of our inquiries. The beach was a short 5 minute walk and the grounds were nicely landscaped. Our rental on Hilton Head last summer had a larger pool and backyard area but this pool was sufficient for our party of 5 adults and 2 young kids. We highly recommend this property and the management company.

Beautiful Piece of Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been doing rentals for years and this is by far one of our favorites!!!! Home is beautiful, clean and well thought out. Space is perfect and the Guest House is fabulous for anyone with babies/small children. The house was equipped with pretty much anything you could possibly need and more and the pool/spa are a great size and get plenty of sun and you don't have to worry about a lot of tree debris always falling into them which is a plus. Location to the beach is great and the walk path is just outside of the gate. Will be looking to rent this one next year for sure!

The Freedom House

LOVED this house!! So much character and charm. Great location and a short walk to the beach. Very clean and well kept. I've been to Hilton head 4 times and Sea Pines is my favorite place and this house is by far my favorite. Plenty of room and all the bedrooms are spacious. Kitchen is great also. I will definitely rent this house again!

Perfect in every way!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Freedom House has everything you will need when spending time with your family. The kitchen was fully equipped and appliances are top notch. Bedrooms and baths were clean and beautifully decorated. 9 adults in this home was easy to accommodate with plenty of room to socialize inside and out. We cooked in most nights, so the large kitchen was a joy to be in. We chose to have the pool heated while there, which was great for evening relaxing. Location right inside Sea Pines worked out great, easy to get around both inside Sea Pines and outside the community. Access to the beach is literally right outside the white picket fence, so morning sunrises were a treat to see.

The location is perfect too. Also, the management company was a pleasure to work with.
