Family celebrations vacation

We had a wonderful stay at summer breeze it was absolutely everything we were expecting. Beautiful accommodations and location. We were able to enjoy other southern Cities with just a short day trip, and also enjoyed all that Hilton head has to offer. We did utilize the lovely well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes for all of us, with the exception of large bowls and platters. Which is rather essential with a large group. There were plenty of beach and bath towels but only one kitchen towel and dish cloth. We did eat many meals in the house so that's why i mention this. The large tvs in many locations was great but several of them we were unable to work. Not a deal breaker for us because we were busy but if they are there they should be able to be used.other than that our stay was more than perfect for us. The owner was very accomodating when asked questions our information. If you are looking for a home to accommodate a large group look no further. Th elevator was a blessing for our family, with two handicapped daughters and it also makes bring luggage and groceries into the house so much easier. This owner thought of everything to make your stay here pleasant. The outside pool is beautiful and the table, bathroom and downstairs refrigerator makes it easy to spend the day enjoying the water. We would definitely recommend this lovely home.

Rocky start but all's well that ends well

We had some issues with checking in-partially due to the variety of forums the owner communicated with me....some on VRBO, some text, some email. So I was expecting information on the gate in one forum and it was in another. When I was delayed arriving, my family had no gate code and I had difficulty getting it directly from the owner by text.

Worth Every Penny

From the initial inquiry to checking out, most favorite rental we've ever had - bar none! We've been coming to the island for 27 years for family reunions and special holiday gatherings. Tremendous house - location, size, furnishings/decor, privacy. The most important thing for us was to be able to bring our dog - to be able to stay in a house like this and the owners allow pets - extraordinary. THANK YOU for a special anniversary trip! We will be returning

Great House. Tons of Space. Awesome Location.

The property was lovely. Our crew of 15+ had plenty of space to move about and relax. The facilities were great, with two sets of washer/dryer sets coming in handy, along with plenty of refrigerator space on every level. Fully fenced with a gate, it was a perfect set up for our family with kids playing, swimming, and hot tubbing. Access to the beach and bike trails couldn't be more convenient, and proximity to Coligny was fantastic. Sandy was very responsive via the VRBO app.

Best place we’ve ever stayed!

8 adults and 5 children. EVERYONE could not get over how great this house is. It has everything. It’s beautiful inside and out. It’s immaculate. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, utensils, glassware, small appliances, SEASONINGS! Just read the listing and know it’s as good as it sounds. It was worth every penny. The kids are begging to stay here again in the future. The best way to describe it is that it was very well planned out.

Late Summer Vacation

I have stayed at house properties in Hilton Head, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Scottsdale and this house, by far, was the best ever !!! The kitchen-dinning-living room area is perfect for gathering while the screened in patio is huge and easily accessible off living area. The weather was great and we spent many hours at the pool - patio area. The beach is only an 8 minute walk and we were close to the golf courses and restaurants. Sandy and Steve were always available and helped with any questions we had. We are already planning on our return trip next year !

Great house within walking distance to beach.

The house was about 8-10 minute walk to beach and shopping. We had plenty of privacy and a great swimming pool with hot tub. The kids greatly enjoyed and hung out in the game room on bottom level. Everyone wants to come back!

July 2023

We had a great stay in Summer Breeze. It is a beautiful home. There were a few hiccups. The house wasn’t ready until 5:30 because the cleaning crew was running behind. I’m not sure if that led to it not being cleaned as well. The refrigerator on the main floor seems to get warm easily. We had to empty it twice because it was warmer than it should’ve been and we were concerned about food spoiling. Overall it was a great place and perfect for an extended family of 14. Sandy is definitely very responsive when we reached out to her before and during our stay.

Sandy was so helpful prior to our arrival sharing info about the house and area. The house is beautifully decorated and well laid out. Our favorite part was the screened in porch. Master bedroom and bathroom is such a treat with the bed being so comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. We were very comfortable as a large family of 11 adults and 4 toddlers. The walk to the beach was easy and we are grateful for our time together.

Fall camp family get away

This is our 4th group vacation with our friends. We are all volunteers at a grief recovery camp for children and most have been together there for 20+ years. This was the perfect property for us. We need a combination of couples rooms and singles accommodations and it worked perfect for the 13 of us. There was a little blip in reaching the owner when we had air conditioning issues on the main floor but it was quickly resolved and everything was great. The new awning over the pool is a great touch. The kitchen is well stocked and we had a very lovely time there.

We had a great time! six adults, two kids, and one dog. The pool was a great hit, as we’re all the games down in the basement-ping-pong and the like. The elevator was very helpful but was tricky to operate. Conveniently located to all the things people want to do in Hilton Head, including the beach.

Beautiful Home!

This house is beautiful! The owner's really hit all the marks when they planned this house. It is great for multi-generational families or even a couple families wiith kids. Plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of each other. We were a family of 13 with 2 dogs and the elevator was a huge plus for my 84 year old father. The fenced yeard was great for the dogs and tehre was enough grass for the dogs to do their business. Having a tv in each bedroom, great room, screened in porch and pool was a HUGE plus! While we loved the pool area, especially at night, we were never able to use the spa to it's full extent. Lights and waterfall are on a schedule controlled by the owner and the jets never worked. Owner stated that you could manually control jets, lights and waterfall but we were never able to manually control them. Be aware that there are only 10 beach towels supplied so if you have more than 10 in your party, bring your own from home. The beach chairs and umbrellas provided were not in the best of shape, rusted, dirty and moldy. Seems like there were a lot of pool toys there that were left behind by previous guests that did not work. If you use the beach cart to take things down to the beach, be prepared to use all your muscle to push the darn thing in the sand. We were exhausted just trying to get it through the sand. Regardless, we had a great time at this house and would stay again!

The real deal

This house is even better in person than the pictures. The owners are helpful, responsive, and reasonable. We were an inter-generational group of 16. The grand parents, parents, and college age group all enjoyed this property equally as well. The location is outstanding and the condition of the property is outstanding. It’s a pleasant 4 block walk to a beautiful quiet unguarded beach. You can have rental bikes delivered and enjoy miles and miles of paths, as well as a quick 10 minute ride to town- the Coligny area- for ice cream or to pick up fresh local seafood. Overall a safe and relaxing upscale vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Shuey

We have owned several condo's on the island for over 20 years. We recently decided to build a home large enough to invite our family and friends to spend vacations together. We thoroughly enjoy staying at our new beach house and hope to make it our permanent home when we retire.
We hope all of our guest will enjoy our new home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose our area due to the convenience to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The South Forest Beach area allows you to ride your bike and golf carts to the local shopping and park areas. Few areas on the island allow carts.
We built our home with all of the amenities we enjoy including our elevator for easy loading and unloading of groceries and luggage.
We designed our home ourselves from top to bottom. We wanted a Coastal Farmhouse Luxury feel to the home so we included furnishing much nicer than most beach homes in our area.

What makes this property unique

Private Pool and Hot Tub- Not a Shared Resort Pool
Privacy behind the Custom Summer Breeze gate and custom privacy fenced in yard.
Private neighborhood beach access
Open Floor Plan for a large group
Several different sitting area to enjoy the quiet Summer Breeze
