About this property

Welcome to your private piece of paradise. As our home is available only a few weeks in high season,( Saturday to Saturday check in), it is better appointed than any full time rental on the market. We are located only 6 houses (350 steps) from the best beach on Hilton Head Island and our home is lovingly furnished with our favorite finds from around the world. THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL BEACH HOUSE! Spacious (2300 sq ft), plus 2 screened porches, and additional decks, our smoke free home in Forest Beach features a large,open living space and a great separation of sleeping areas.

NEW updates: A NEWER home (2017), with state of the art flooring; new kitchen and baths; 55 inch smart TV, Several new decks and side screened lanai. New for 2023 a second screened porch overlooking pool! Luxury bedding and linens.New HVAC and new GPS in-duct air purifier.

Upon awakening to the sound of tropical birds, we invite you to enjoy your morning tea or coffee on one of our outside spaces. Relax in our FULL SIZE swimming pool! Our uncrowded beach also awaits and we have what you need; as we provide plenty of beach chairs, an umbrella, beach buggy and cooler for your use. An enclosed outdoor shower is located by the pool. Perhaps you prefer a stroll or bike ride the few short blocks on safe, shaded paths to Coligny Plaza; the center of activity on the island. There you will find over 70 convenient shops, restaurants and activities. Our grandkids love their daily walk up there. Had enough? Then return to the quiet, private neighborhood. There is even a free beach golf cart trolley that you can call or wave down to help get tired families back home. It truly is the best of both worlds at Serenity by the Sea where location, and convenience dovetail into serene space. We are so well located that some of our guests have said that they spent their entire week using bicycles instead of their car.

Wonderful Getaway

We have had a wonderful week at your home. This is truly a special retreat on the island, and we have made so many memories. We love the two porches, stocked kitchen, pool, outside shower, tvs, and proximity to beach and Coligny. This is so great for people like us with kiddos! Thank you again for sharing your lovely home. We hope to visit again!

Home away from home

The owner communicated with us and made everything very easy. The layout was excellent since the sleeping rooms are separate from the living areas. The lanai’s were beautiful and gave us plenty of outdoor space. Going to a home with a pool is always a bit nerve-racking with small children but the upper deck was gated making it more difficult for the children to escape. While not directly on the beach, it was a short walk and the owners provided plenty of chairs and most importantly, boogie boards. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

HHI gem!

What a wonderful property! Our first trip to HHI and this house was a BIG reason the trip was so great. Fully stocked with anything you could need/want. Pool is fantastic. Beach is so close and the house has a wagon to help carry all the gear down. Such a great stretch of beach that isn't crowded. The owners, Anne and Jim, are lovely and very helpful in making sure everything is taken care of for you to have a wonderful trip. Would 100% love to stay at this house again!

Great place

This property and home was great, so cozy and nice. It was located in a quiet and clean neighborhood. It is close to the beach, just a short walk. I suggest bringing or renting bicycles, it is the perfect way to get around this area of the island. The home was perfect for our family of 7, we had plenty of space. The pool was wonderful, clean and well maintained. The home itself is very well equipped with all the amenities. The property owner replies quickly and is very accommodating. The screened in porch on the side was perfect for evening games.

Family Vacation

The house was perfect and absolutely beautiful. So spacious where we did not feel on top of each other with our group of 8. The pool was a huge hit and the beach was just a short walk away. Perfect location overall and I would be thrilled to stay here again in the future.

Perfect house and perfect location!

Our family of 6 adults and 2 children stayed here very comfortably. It was great that the living space was separated from the bedrooms which allowed for kids to sleep. The house is just a few steps from the beautiful beach! The downtown area is about a 15 min walk from the house, but there are sidewalks the whole way. I would stay here again in the future!

Absolutely Wonderful!!!

The house had everything we could have possibly asked for. The kitchen was gorgeous and stocked so well. We loved the screened in porch. The location could not have been better and a very short walk to the beach. We hope to stay again. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

Best Vacation Home On The Island

This was the perfect vacation for our family of 6 - all adults. The morning two minute walk to the uncrowded beach and the afternoon at the shady pool was just what our family ordered. The home itself was spotless when we arrived and fully equipment - better than any other rental we have stayed at in the past. North Forest Beach was wonderful and we were able to bike to Coligny. We plan to stay at the house again on our next trip.

Amazing place to stay at Hilton Head Island!

This was the perfect vacation rental for our family (adults and 2 babies). We enjoyed being so close to the beach, bike bath, and numerous restaurants and shops. As mentioned in previous comments, pictures do not do this house justice. It is so spacious with great outdoor living areas. It also has every amenity you could possibly need, which made packing a lot lighter. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this vacation rental. We would love to rent it again in the future!

Gorgeous House, Great Host!

This home was perfect for our groups vacation! Perfect proximity to both the beach and Coligny! The first thing we noticed was how welcoming our host was and how homey it was there. Gorgeous decor, stocked well with all necessary supplies (laundry, toiletries, kitchen) and plenty of space both inside and out. During our rainy days we spent plenty of time in the two screened in porches. We also spent plenty more time in the gorgeous pool on our sunny days! We were so happy to stay here, thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great location and great house

The house is well maintained and close to the beach and shops. The owners leave extra spices, cooking spray, etc. for guests to use which is a nice touch and unexpected. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, tupperware, pans, etc. The screened in porch adds another area when families need to space out. Loved having a quiet coffee/breakfast out there every morning. Very pleased with this rental and owners go above and beyond.

Beautiful house; great owners

This is our second summer renting this awesome property and we're prepared to do it again. Day starts with a short, easy walk to the beach followed by an afternoon in the pool. Owner provides all the beach equipment we need so our packing job is easier. Easy walk for ice cream & shops in the evening. We love your adorable home-it has everything to make your vacation enjoyable. Our children are older now and love the extra space that your home provides. We enjoy the quietness this area offers. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Perfect Place for a Hilton Head Vacation

This was our first time in Hilton Head and using VRBO and we couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The home is well suited for families of all ages. There were 7 of us which included our 2 year old grandson. The owners even had a pack n play so our daughter didn't have to bring this along. There is so much to do in the area and we used our rented bikes all the time. The house is in a quiet neighborhood while the activities were just a few blocks away. We would highly recommend renting this house for your next stay in Hilton Head. The week went way to fast!!

Just returned from a great stay at 9 Jacana. Everything about this vacation home was wonderful: the homes appointments, the pool, the proximity to the beach, bike trail, and shopping, and its central location on the island. The home is well appointed; the owners have thought of everything you might need. The bed in the master bedroom was VERY comfortable! The linens were very nice. Did I mention the pool? This was my favorite...just steps out the door. Large window walls in the living room and entryway make the glistening water part of the homes decor. :)

Absolutely beautiful!

This home is like a home away from home! It has everything one could ever need! Very close walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants and the pool is a great amenity! The owners and property managers are extremely attentive and quick to respond to any needs. My 4yo son left his new stuffed animal at the house the morning we left. Within 1-2 hours of me emailing the owners, he was on his way back home. The property manager went above and beyond to send me pictures to show him that he was safe and on his way (Including a picture in the car with a seat belt on and at the post office going into the package!). TOTAL life saver!! Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Jim and I grew up in New York, travelled and lived all over the world, and still think we have found Paradise on this island! Our 3 grown kids AND EIGHT GRANDKIDS are starting the next generation of islanders too...We convene here for all family gatherings, as they consider the island their piece of heaven too...
We hope you will enjoy our special place as much as we do!
Anne and Jim

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to the island for over 40 years and North Forest Beach has retained most of its beach house character...we love the private, uncrowded beach and houses instead of condos here.
We are in all the hustle and bustle of Coligny in less than 8 minute stroll so we are the perfect blend of peace and quiet and convenience.

What makes this property unique

No density of condos ....
Century old oaks in a large property
Beautiful, peaceful sunrises
Uncrowded beach
Walk or bike to anywhere
Fully fenced in yard
