Welcome to Sandpiper, an AvantStay home!

Perfection doesn’t exist but this home is as close as it gets. Situated just steps from the beach and surrounded by trees for extra privacy, this idyllic beach house invites you for a warm getaway with your favorite people. Inside, you’ll find soft interiors, painted wood walls, and something charming in every corner: a dainty spiral staircase, a surfboard on the wall, an old-fashioned kitchen and fireplace, and a light-filled sunroom with a foosball table. Outside is just as picturesque with scallop-trimmed umbrellas, a hammock for reading, and a dining area with BBQ grill. A Primary Bedroom leads to a private balcony with rocking chairs and 3 additional bright and airy bedrooms provide ample space for rest and relaxation after a long day in the sun. It’s hard not to feel rejuvenated when you’re falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves!

Great Location but Needs Work
We had a great time during our week in Hilton Head! Ours was a family vacation with 6 adults and 2 young children ages 3 and 5. The location was awesome - direct beach access, very nice neighborhood, quiet area, and within a 15 min walking distance to shops and restaurants in Coligny Plaza – couldn’t have been better! We found the house clean with comfortable beds, plenty of towels and amenities such as soap, shampoo and laundry detergents as well as equipped with some family games and beach items. The kitchen was well-stocked with good dishes, utensils, pots/pans and appliances all in working order. The bedrooms were spacious and we enjoyed sitting on the screened patio taking in the ocean view. The house, itself, was a disappointment. We expected the property would be old based on the description, however, the condition of the property was not up to par for the price point. The condition of the house is very worn. With the exception of the master bathroom, all the other bedroom/bathrooms look to be original. There was an overall impression of minimal exterior maintenance. Dead overgrown vegetation clinging to the balcony and a front door in need of new paint and/or a good scrub. Bug webs and/or cocoons were all around the outside entry way and at least one wasp nest on the garage door. The backyard grass area was trimmed but was overrun with prickly weeds and ants everywhere which prevented us from enjoying this great space.

Old School Beach House Perfection!
We had a fantastic stay! The online details and reviews left us with no surprises. Our fur babies loved the room and the beach. The sand burrs you read about were definitely there - but our puppies learned to just come over to us if they had one and we’d get it out quickly. It wasn’t a huge deal at all! The home is older, so we know hiccups can come with that. We actually arrived to find the split unit had fallen off the house and wasn’t working. Now, middle of the summer may have made that a really tough stay - but it was cooler and how it was dealt with made all the difference. The Avant Stay contacts we had for the property were on it and so wonderful about their interaction with us. Ruben was the absolute best! Our family had a fantastic Thanksgiving! The house has a really awesome layout for family and friends, dinners and games. And who doesn’t love waking up and seeing the ocean. If you’re looking for a relaxing, laid back, unpretentious time - this house is definitely worth a consideration!

Really enjoyed our stay
Ideal location. Quiet area of the beach just steps from back door. .6 miles to all the shops and eateries at Coligny and golf is everywhere! Rode our bikes everywhere on the bike trails. 7 of us stayed very comfortably for the week. Comfortable beds and although not the newest or fanciest house, has lot of character and everything was very clean. Screened porch was nice and kitchen well stocked w/ everything you need to cook efficiently. Nice grill as well as well as games, puzzles, beach chairs, cooler, etc, provided! Will definitely stay again.

Really nice place... watch out for the sandburs!
Overall, the property was fantastic for our group. We really enjoyed the dog-friendly home, and the space was great. The kitchen is a little tight, but we knew that from the pictures posted online (not a gripe... just a fact). We booked the property for the direct beach access, which didn't disappoint. it was amazing! We also booked it due to the lawn area to allow our 2 mini-doodles to roam. Unfortunately, there were sandburs all over the yard. To be fair, there were signs posted at the doors indicating to wear shoes to avoid the burs in the grass. However, with this advertised as a dog-friendly property, the lawn really needs to be dog-friendly. We ended up carrying our dogs across the lawn to the beach by the end of the week to avoid getting burrs in their paws... and I took them across the street to potty each day so they didn't get burrs in their paws. I've done some quick online research, and there appears to be numerous herbicide options to minimize/eradicate these burrs. For the price of the rental, I'd recommend the owners either pay for the lawn service or just get new sod to put down. Again, overall this was a great week for our family!

A Simple Place for A Getaway
Overall, this was a nice getaway for my entire, small family. The beach lookout is gorgeous and how lovely it was to just go out and walk to the beach within seconds. The home we stayed at was overall clean. One can tell it’s not a modernized building and was aged; however, it was a place that we all enjoyed staying at and had no issues whatsoever.

👎 Beware of This Nightmare Stay!
My recent experience with this VRBO rental was nothing short of a disaster. I had booked what was supposed to be a relaxing week-long stay, but it turned out to be a nightmare that lasted less than 24 hours. First and foremost, the charges were exorbitant and absolutely not reflective of the appalling conditions of the property. The advertised price was nothing short of a bait-and-switch tactic, leaving me feeling completely ripped off. Upon arrival, the state of the house was utterly shocking. It was far from the "clean and cozy" promise that was made in the listing. The place was filthy, and it was evident that it hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. To make matters worse, I was greeted by an unwelcome infestation of roaches and bugs that were clearly thriving in the unsanitary environment. Disgusted and completely uncomfortable, I immediately contacted the property management to express my concerns and request a refund. To my astonishment, their response was utterly dismissive. Not only did they refuse to address the cleanliness and pest issues, but they also flat-out denied my request for a reasonable refund. $7,500 down the drain for less than 24hrs. I would strongly advise anyone considering this rental to RUN in the opposite direction. This experience has left me feeling scammed, frustrated, and deeply disappointed in VRBO's oversight of its hosts. Save yourself the headache and heartache – look elsewhere for a rental that actually lives up to its promises.

Great stay for a slightly-more-affordable property on HHI
Our family (four kids, ages 11, 10, 6, & 4) had a great time during our three nights in Hilton Head. Wish we could have stayed longer! The immediate private access to the beach was definitely a highlight. Nice back yard for the dog and to hang out. Property provided house & yard games and ample seating for our family, as well as beach toys & items (our older kids loved the boogie boards!). Having four bathrooms was nice. The house is a bit dated and has a strange layout, but it didn’t bother us and we weren’t there to hang out much inside anyway. They have made several nice upgrades to some areas. AC worked great, outside shower was clutch. Seems it would be a nice property any season and was family-friendly. Would definitely go back!

This VRBO was used as a family birthday celebration week for three generations. The 4 bedrooms slept our 7 people comfortably, and the host even provided BOX FANS <3 <3, which made sleep exquisite with new surroundings, & busy feet in the house. We found everything we were looking for, including extra laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, and ample TP in every bathroom. The house was extremely clean - every nook and cranny swept, mopped & polished which helps in an older home.
