About this property
Heavenly Sands : 2BR/2BA Beach-Dine-Shop-Celebration Park! All ~10 minute Walk!
Welcome to “Heavenly Sands” at Island House Villa in South Forest Beach. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our Pirates and Mermaids themed getaway in this 2 Bedroom/2 Bath villa. This is a 1 story flat on the second floor (and no one above you) and is nicely renovated for a relaxing beach getaway.
Island House Management/HOA allows ONE dog per villa. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE. The pet fee is $165 per stay. Please click the “Bringing Pet” button to add the $165 fee to your reservation. We do not accept cats due to severe allergies. The Island House Villa complex is in the heart of Hilton Head Island with many conveniences within walking distance. We are just a ~10-minute walk to the beautiful beaches of Hilton Head Island to a more private area where it will tend to be less busy than a public beach. Celebration Park is a 5-minute walk across the street. Walk a few minutes further and you will reach Coligny Plaza and the Coligny Public Beach. At Coligny (great atmosphere!), you can find an assortment of shops and dining areas along with ice cream and souvenir shops. There's also a "golf-cart" service that frequently drives in the area that works on tips only.
The family room is equipped with a 65-inch TV, ceiling fan, sofa, and two recliners.
The Master bedroom has a queen-sized bed, ceiling fan, and its own master bath with walk in shower.
The Guest room has a queen and a twin bed that can accommodate up to three guests comfortably. It also has a ceiling fan. The second bathroom is adjacent to the bedroom.
The dining area offers plenty of seating and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for your long- or short-term stay. Recently installed, are all new stainless-steel kitchen appliances. Also, in the kitchen, there is a full-sized washer and dryer. There's a full-sized coffee maker and a Keurig. We’ve provided books and games to pass your time away while relaxing at the villa. The unit includes Wi-Fi.
We rent 2 villas in the Island House Complex, so If you have plans to come with another family or your week is unavailable, please reference the VRBO ID 2124916. Both villas are second floor flats.
Around the corner, located on property of the villa, is a large spacious pool with plenty of lounge chairs and a bath house for you and all your guests to enjoy. The Van Der Meer Tennis facility is just steps away for the avid tennis player (They offer lessons and clinics).
Hilton Head Island offers so much for outdoor living. There's an abundance of bike trails, plenty of golfing, tennis, fishing, and beaches that will interest everyone. A new restaurant called “The Bank” just opened and is over a mile from our complex. It is THE spot to catch a sporting event with great food and drinks. There’s plenty of amazing live entertainment, events and dining to suit your needs on the island.
The gorgeous shores of Hilton Head are just a short walk. Biking is one of our favorite family activities. Bring your own bike or rent locally (free delivery) from across the way. Miles of trails will bring you hours of sightseeing and exercise throughout your stay. The island provides plenty of activities ranging from marine tours, aquatic adventures, fishing, golfing at its finest, shopping, and fine dining for all. Don’t forget those days’ trips off the island. Hilton Head Island is less than an hour away from the nostalgic areas of Savanah, GA and Charleston, SC. The up-and-coming town of Bluffton is 20 minutes away. Whatever you choose to do while you’re here at Forest Beach, Island House, you’re sure to make plenty of memories at “Heavenly Sands” villa. We’ll strive to do everything we can to ensure your stay is comfortable, pleasurable, and worry free.

This rental is as described and pictured, very clean, beautifully furnished and comfortable. Our family of 4 and 1 dog enjoyed our stay!very much and would rent again.
We are 6 years in to staying at Chris and Kim’s condo, and as always, our stay was wonderful. We love the close access to the beach and the village, the cleanliness of the condo, and the communicative hosts. Highly recommend… just not for the dates we want to be there
Clean and Comfortable Accommodations - Great Location
We had a great time staying here! Great location - ten minute walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Chris is an excellent host - quick to respond to our questions, etc.
We love staying at this villa. The hosts are so kind and have thought of everything to provide while on vacation. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and the beach. Thanks for having us again!
We loved staying in this nice home in HHI once again. Chris and Kim are amazing hosts and are so pleasant. The kitchen is fully stocked with items one may need. Bedrooms are very cozy and comfortable. The walk to the beach access isn’t too far. Nice little stroll to see paradise and sea turtle nests. Looking forward to next time…..
We have stayed at this condo for 4 springs now, and really enjoy it every time. It’s clean, close to the beach and Coligny, and Kim and Chris are so kind and communicative. Highly recommend!
Great location and cozy accommodations near the beach
This was a repeat visit to this VRBO condo because it's very well maintained, clean and cozy and just minutes walk from the beach. It is very close to restaurants and the owners are very friendly and responsive to questions/concerns one might have. Our dog loved being on the beach with us every day!
We have been staying at Kim’s couple of times through the years. It’s a perfect place for a small family like ours. Location is great - close to the beach, park and Coligany. House has everything we needed.
Our stay was lovely. From the easy check in to the simple check out. We enjoyed how easy it was to walk our little dog and the property was very nice.Hilton Head is a great place and very beautiful.
Adorable and comfortable villa in a perfect location. Easy walk to beach, shopping and dining. The best hosts! They communicated updates and information to us in an efficient & timely manner and went above & beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable.
We LOVED staying at the "Heavenly Sands" condo! My family of four stayed for a week during our spring break in April and it was just the escape we were looking for! The location is excellent as it is within walking distance to the beach and plenty of area restaurants and shopping outlets. The condo was very clean and the decor was adorable! Chris and Kim were the most hospitable hosts and Kim even checked in with us on the first day of our trip to see if we needed anything. Would recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone!
Beautiful property. Kim called me to check on us the second day, and Chris gave my husband excellent fishing advice. Lots of shopping and many local sights. This is a great place to walk if you like that. Beaches, parks, trails, art, museums, fishing. What's not to love?
My husband and I stayed at this condo for 3 months (mid-January to mid-April). The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the beach and right on the walking/biking pathway. The condo complex was quiet and well maintained. Chris Alessi was a great host and very responsive. The condo itself was in good condition, with comfortable beds and furniture. If I was to plan another months-long stay, I might bring my own towels, as the towels provided were a little lackluster, though there were plenty of them. Overall, great place.
We loved staying at Chris and Kim’s Heavenly Sands! The location can’t be beat - it’s so close to the beach, Celebration Park, and Coligny. We rented bikes and only drove once the entire week! The unit was perfect for our family of five, plus service dog, and it was so nice to have the pool and tennis courts on site after a day at the beach. Communication from Chris and Kim was exceptional and we appreciated all of their personal touches like the info binder, well stocked kitchen, and even cleaning supplies. We can’t wait to book again for next summer!
The property was as described. 10 minute walk to the beach 10-15 minutes to Coligny Park. Pool is a less than 5 minute walk across the property. Would recommend renting bicycles. Communication with the host was excellent.
We loved our stay at Heavenly Sands. We didn't arrive until late, but check-in was a breeze, with thorough check-in instructions provided ahead of time. Kim was in touch the morning after our arrival to make sure everything was good, and was very kind when the tenant downstairs submitted a noise complaint on my family for having two wild kiddos running around for a few minutes before their nap time. The unit was spotlessly clean, comfy and had all the essentials. Good location, with plenty of nearby restaurants and an easy walk/bike ride to beach access. Hope to return next summer!
This condo was my daughter's dream come to life. It was spacious, clean, and had the best mermaid and pirate decor that my daughter could not get enough of. Every statue and picture had a name, and she couldn't wait to show it all off via FaceTime to her grandparents. We had an amazing stay, and if we are in the area in the future we will definitely book again. Thank you!
Great location as far as walk to the beach and the shops at Coligney. Wished there was more of an outdoor space and pet relief area around the condo. Had everything you could want or need in the unit. Bed in the master was very comfortable. I normally have issues with my back when away. Did not in the 2 weeks we were there. We will be back!
Had a wonderful stay in this lovely condo in the heart of Hilton Head Island! The unit is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and to shopping and restaurants at Coligny Plaza. This nicely updated condo has a very well-appointed kitchen, full-size washer and dryer, two good sized bedrooms and two full baths. Internet access, TVs with DVD player and an assortment of DVDs and a variety of games are available. We really enjoyed the pirates and mermaids theme as well. The hosts were very attentive and provided a welcome packet with great information and recommendations for island restaurants and activities. We definitely recommend this for a couple or family, and our dog had a wonderful time as well! We plan to return next year--thank you for the hospitality!
The villa was clean and welcoming. The easy chairs in the living room and master bed were very comfortable. From the villa to the sand on the beach it is almost 1/2 a mile, which some may find "far to walk". For us, it was a perfect distance. We were having a hard time finding a dog friendly vacation rental and were happy to find Kim and Chris's place. The pool, though not open for swimming (In Feb) was close by and a wonderful place to get some sun even on a cool day because it was sheltered. Dining and Coligny Plaza are easy walking distance away. My only request would be to have more kitchen towels and the addition of beach towels.
My husband and I just spent a few days at Heavenly Sands. The condo is very comfortable and super convenient to the beach, restaurants, bike trails and stores. We loved riding our bikes around the area. The owner provided detailed info on stores, restaurants, and things to do around the area. We tried a few of the restaurant suggestions and they were spot on. We liked Hilton Head but it is very different at night as there are no street lights and the lights in parking lots and stores are not very bright. I get it is for the aesthetics I guess but it is very different that way.
