Vacation for Extended Family

We booked this house because it could accommodate 6 married couples, 6 single college age adults, and 3 children under the age of 2 to celebrate the family matriarch's 85 birthday. We selected this house because we could all stay in one house. The house had a nice poole and a wonderful fully equipped kitchen suitable for the discriminating "chefs" in the family. We were very pleased with our selection and intend to rebook this home again.

HH for first timers

The house was a great size for our group of 15. The location to beach and town was nice and walkable. The pool was enjoyed very much by our little people. The advertised use of spa(which was very dirty) and elevator(which we chose property for an 88 yo) had hidden costs which we were not expecting. The overall experience was ok and or group had a good time but we felt the house could of been cleaner and maybe could use some updating.

Our annual family trip with our five adult children and 6 grandkids was enhanced through all the fun around this home! The pool was great, outdoor kitchen helped make easy yet tasty dinners and the game room was a hit with our grandkids and adults alike! The spaciousness of the home allowed plenty of room to spread out AND be together for game night! Highly recommend for large family and or friends group!

The house is very spacious and accommodated our group of 12 nicely. I rated 4 due to small oven.

It was strange. I found the home listed by local company and they were in able to rent for full week. However when I went thru the rental process on VRBO, I was thankfully able to rent for the days needed.

on with a short walk to the beach and close to main shopping/eating area areaa

The main house is well supplied with any cooking /dishes/pans needed. There were lots of sand toys, wave boards and chairs (no umbrellas) for the beach. One of the upstairs bedroom is joined to another and shares the same huge master toilet/ 2 vanities with a separate shower/soaking tub ( so be aware of that). Three of the other bedrooms are private suites, one which is idea for kids having lots of stuffed animals and kid books. The other bedroom has a full bath just outside the bedroom. The room over the garage has two bunk beds ( full mattress on the lower and single on the top) so best for kids. It has a vanity but the a half bath is located outside ( Also used as the pool bathroom). We paid to heat the pool and hot tub and was well worth it with the 9 grandkids.

Great beach vacation

What a great week we had at 16 Mallard. The house was great and fully stocked with everything you need. Terry was fantastic and always available. We spent a week before this in NC outerbanks and this blew it away. Great all around and beach was the most beautiful a we have seen 3 minute walk. Thanks so much.

Outstanding home, great location

The kitchen is awesome, and the outdoor rec area is wonderful, with some shade. The indoor game room is added bonus during relaxing evenings, or weather event. What is strange is that one of the upstairs bedrooms requires walk through another bedroom to the share bathroom, as it wasn't designed to be a bedroom, so be aware. The green egg needs service, as the top/bottom alignment is off and the seal leaks, so temp control is impaired. Easy walk to the beach. Great location. You should choose it. Darcy was great to work with. There are a lot of beach toys, chairs, but you should bring a canopy or two for shade. there are two there, but one appears to be broken. We didn't know that so we had brought our own. We had a wonderful time. The bunkhouse was great for our 7 granddaughters, with the added bed as it normally handles 6. We would rebook anytime we return if we can.

A great entertainment home.

Because the home is so large there was a place for everybody in the group to go find quiet time or because some of the rooms were so large it was a great place for all of us to get together at the same time. The home is in excellent shape. The backyard pool is very private. I would highly recommend the home.

Wonderful for our group of 18

We truly enjoyed our stay. The home had private bedrooms and baths for all families in our group and plenty of spaces for gathering. We loved the private backyard oasis. With the beautiful beach right down the street and dining and shopping just a short bike trip away, we had everything we needed for a very relaxing week. The property managers responded quickly to small maintenance issues, thank you!

Vacation we will never forget! House delivers BEYOND!

Our family celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary in this amazing home, with 10 adults and 11 kids! This house had a place for us all - at all ages - from the awesome pool, spa and outdoor space to the totally outfitted kitchen, game room, and media room with huge TV for night-time movies. Beds were comfy; bathrooms all spacious and beautifully designed. The gorgeous beach was a short walk away and it was easy to bike to Coligny Plaza to hit the Piggly Wiggly. It's centrally located to reach the rest of the island as well. None of us had ever stayed in such a well-equipped house. It has nearly every high-end appliance you could imagine, range of cook wear, grills, Smart TV and sound system. The teenage boys LOVED the towel warmer too! Thanks for an incredible week. We haven't had time like this together for many years- and probably never will again. Unforgettable.

Large family vacation

The house was fabulous! We utilized the outdoor cooking facilities every night. We had been to HHI many times so it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the amenities of the house. Awesome pool and common areas (we had 17-20 adults in and out of the house) with room to spread out. The house was also very well equipped. Just bring your swim suit! Would definitely rent again.

Awesome home!

It was a nice home for the family and wedding party, in town for a beach wedding. Make sure if you rent this home that it cost extra if you want to heat the pool or the spa. My the other two homes we rented did not charge extra for the pool or spa. Other than that the management was very nice and attentive to your needs.

Great home for large groups

Our annual vacation group has been coming to HHI for the past several years, and since we needed more room, we found 16 Mallard to be a great home with lots of space for everyone to really enjoy. The kitchen is absolutely fabulous and is so well stocked with cookware, serveware, Tupperware...made us feel like we were at home in our own kitchens! The pool and spa were just perfect for relaxing, and the short walk to the beach was so simple. The front and back porches were used every day and were a great place to start and end the day. The upstairs master was a bit unusual since it includes 2 bedrooms and a shared bathroom but it will work. We had a couple of small maintenance issues and the response time and fixes were both outstanding. We would love to come back next year, but the very large rate increase just won't allow it. We truly enjoyed this beautiful house. Thanks, Jann family for sharing some great accommodations!

Awesome Home, Great Location, Marvelous Vacation

My daughter graduated and we headed to 16 Mallard for a combination Family reunion/Graduation celebration. We could not have picked a better property. It easily accommodated our group which t one point reached 18 people. What a great house. So well stocked. Great Backyard and pool. Plenty of space. This was our first trip to Hilton Head and we fell in love with the place. A lot of that was due to this marvelous house.
