Absolutely loved the layout of the home, the kid friendly “extras”, the pool & hot tub set up…I could go on and on! The location is perfectly located on a quiet part of the island but within walking distance to restaurants, shops, ice cream, bars, and walking/biking paths. This was the perfect home for our family to gather for spring break.
Home is perfect. We had 8 adults & 8 children. Everything is extremely well equppied for the perfect famiiy vacation. Location is amazing. Truly created great family memories for a lifetime.
Very well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, 4 (!) refrigerators, 2 dishwashers which with the age range of our group really came in handy. Easy walk to beach, and several restaurants. Clean, every bedroom stayed cool even on the hottest day. Lovely lovely home.
Very child friendly. The children were delighted with their rooms.
Would suggest a magnetic catch on accordion door to elevator so someone who uses walker could use elevator alone .
We really enjoyed our stay at castle by the sea. The location was close to the beach and a very easy walk. The house was nice and big so everyone had the bedroom arrangement required. One of our the 2 refrigerators and 2 dishwashers were great for our large group. The house was well equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. The pool - hot tub was used a lot every day. Great house
Our family which consists of 10 adults and 6 children enjoyed a most enjoyable experience at this beautiful beach house called Castle by the Sea. House had bountiful space and bedding for all. Large pool and very short walk to the beach. Kitchen was well supplied and bedding was very comfortable. God has been so gracious to our family and to enjoy such a beautiful vacation with children and grandchildren is such a blessing. Owner of property was extremely hospitable and vacation company very responsive. I highly recommend this property. We have already booked for next year!
Our extended family (10 adults, 4 kids under 9) stayed here for a week. The house is in a great location. 1/2 block walk to the beach, just under 1/2 mile to Coligney shops and restaurants. The owners make it easy! The house has everything you could possibly want - in the kitchen, games/books for kids, high chairs, pack and play, and plenty of beach and pool items to borrow.
The owner and property manager were easy to communicate with and we really enjoyed our stay. We hope to come back next year!
The property was as nice as the pictures. We thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool/spa and the well-equipped kitchen and game rooms. There were 15 of us and there was plenty of space for all. A 2-3 minute walk to a beautiful beach and maybe 10 minutes to shopping/restaurants/bakeries. We had a couple of minor issues but the communications with the owner and property manager resulted in quick resolutions of those issues. If we come back to HH in the future, we would certainly rent this place again.
We arrived at "Castle By The Sea" and found it very clean, well stocked and in good location for visiting the Beach. The home is comfortable and has everything one may need-- dishes, blenders, music speaker, multiple refrigerators, etc. We found Beach Toys, great Beach Towels and a Wagon for transporting all these items for the 5 minute walk to the Beach. We had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the home since the Tropical Storm paid us a visit on Days 2-5 of our vacation. We spent this time indoors-- playing pool and Jenga in the Garage, working puzzles and the younger set enjoyed using their Gaming system on the TV in the Upstairs Game Room. The Management Company personnel, Katherine, was kind and responsive to our questions. Everything was "perfect"-- EXCEPT for the Weather !!!
We decided to take the family to Hilton Head Island. Our son and daughter joined us, so we rented the North Forest Beach - Castle by the Sea.
We have been property owners at Hilton Head for 16 years. After selling our condo we wanted to try the Castle by the Sea house due to the photos on the VRBO site and the fact is was in North Forest Beach.
We communicated with Melynda, the property owner prior to arriving, and she was always responsive and answered my questions. We arrived early to Hilton Head and stayed at a hotel and I reached out to Melynda to see if there was any chance for an early check-in. She talked to the on-island property management team, and we received a text message we could get in 4 hours earlier than normal. That was great.
The house is very comfortable, we got to try out reclining beds, and all the adults had master suites. The kids had their own rooms and everyone had a great time. The weather wasn't as good as we hoped, but we were able to get to the beach a couple of the days.
It was shocking how close the house is to beach. Our former condo was right on beach, and the walk from Castle-by-the-Sea house to the beach was about the same.
It was also nice to walk to Coligny for shopping, dinners, and refreshments.
This is a great property and I would strongly recommend it!
Great for the whole family! We were able to get the entire family in this house which was really the best way to spend quality time together on vacation. Really felt like our own home at the beach with everything we could need or want. Options of the beach or the pool kept all the kids entertained endlessly, that or Madden football on the Xbox. The walk to the beach is so short it hardly seemed like a walk. Was so nice to have all the beaches toys and accessories and the cart to get them to the beach. The flashlights with the red light filter was a nice touch for beach walks at night. Really nice to have the ice maker in the basement as well to fill up the coolers. Property manager was very responsive and checked in on things midweek and which was appreciated.
Minor points for improvements would be an upgrade to the toilet paper (paper thin) and the beach towels (some falling apart). Having a vacuum would be nice to mitigate the constant influx of sand through the front door. Would have also been nice to have a garage door opener to make getting bikes in and out of the garage much more efficient. Kitchen had all the necessary components but would have been nice to have a large skillet (only one smaller one available).
Rooms were great hot tub was awesome and heated/cooled very quickly so we used it as a kiddo pool during the day & hotub for adults at nice. Coligny beach shopping center a short walk away. Perfect for a quick morning coffee to get out of the house.
The property was in a prime location. We were able to get to restaurants and shopping and down to the beach very easily. The hot tub and pool area was amazing. I think our grandchildren could’ve stayed in there for 24 hours a day.
Great stay. Excellent location so close to the beach. Good size pool. Plenty of parking. Plenty of activities for the kids. Just wish that the online description would have included more of the items provided; they provide more than in the description and we could have avoided bringing extra items! Home was an excellent place for a large family vacation.
Our family vacations in HH every other year. We have stayed in many locations and homes. This will be the first one we want to rebook for our next one. Great space, location, amenities, cleanliness,.... for our family of 8 adults and 6 children (5 and under). Thanks again!
We just spent a week with our kids and grandkids at this beautiful home. It was perfection. The house had everything you could need. Rooms were lovely, three of which are designed for kids. The pool is great and the beach is just a very short walk with easy access.there are shops within a short walking distance as well. We hope to return there ahain!
We had a great stay at this beautiful property. It provided plenty of separate and communal space for multi-family group. Close to the beach and Coligny shopping with a beautiful pool with plenty of privacy from the street. We loved it!
We had a wonder time. The property had everything we could possible need from playpens, high chairs, potty chairs, toys, tv games, wagons, pool table and much more. We so appreciated the baby gates in the stairways. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our multigenerational vacation. EXCELLENT
