We stayed in this apartment for a month, from July 18th to August 16th 2020.
Unfortunately, on the first day of our stay we discovered that there was an infestation of roaches in the kitchen (mainly) and in the bathroom.
Promptly, the owner sent the pest control guy (he came 2 times in 15 days). Obviously, the problem was not solved straight away, and for the entire month we had to clean the dead animals and kill the ones still alive that infested the cabinets and the drawers, in which we couldn’t store anything. Kitchenware, tableware, silverware, etc. were placed on the table in the dining room. We couldn’t leave any food outside the fridge and the kitchen had to be perfectly clean all the time.
Eileen, the owner, was very helpful and cooperative and sent twice the maid to clean and sanitize. However, this wasn’t enough because to be useful she would have had to be present 24/7. I spent my entire vacation cleaning and vacuuming all the time.
We wanted to move out, but unfortunately we were unable to find another place where to stay, as Hilton Head was fully booked during this period.
The day we left the roaches situation was improved, but not solved.
As far as the location is concerned:
the apartment was nice and comfortable, but a little outdated.
It’s 15 minutes walk from the beach (0.56 miles).
The swimming pool was clean and not crowded.
The WiFi was unstable and not very powerful. It couldn’t handle multiple devices.
Last but not least, The landlady Eileen was kind and helpful.
