“Quiet and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

people found this review helpful

We own a time share and thru our exchange company were able to reserve a 2BR/2BA unit. The unit was spacious and convenent to Harbor Town or the beach. We enjoyed our stay. The living room furnishings were updated and nice. The only suggestion I would make is strip off the dated wall paper and slap on a new coat of paint. The check in staff were very friendly and helpful.

“best location!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

people found this review helpful

We have been using this spacious unit for family get-togethers for 5 summers now. While the location is simply the best on the island ( we are prejudiced ), the maintenance and upkeep has slowly slid downhill. Our's needed paint, wallapaper, ceiling leak repairs, and some new furniture. On the plus side, the management is truly helpful and tries to meet your needs. We'll be back next year for sure - just hope to see some of the needs addressed.

“Great place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2011 via mobile
5
people found this review helpful

We stayed here as part of a timeshare exchange. The unit was definitely not luxurious but it was clean and everything we needed. It is a short bicycle ride from the beach and shopping/dining. The pool area was well kept and never over crowded. We had a nice deck area overlooking the golf course - great place to have breakfast! We were pretty much centrally located and everything was very easy and convenient to get to. It was confusing that we had to stop st the entrance of sea pines to get a car pass and then find the rental office elsewhere- nowhere in our email/confirmation was this explained. Other than the check in/car pass frustration, everything was good. One word of warning- if you go out on the deck and close the sliding door, it locks behind you! We found this out the hard way... With our phones, wallets, car keys locked inside :). Be careful of those locking doors!

“Great location in Sea Pines”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010
7
people found this review helpful

Our unit was spacious, quiet and well equipped, and in a good location convenient to everything in Sea Pines. Bike path in front and October is the perfect time to use it. We rented bikes across the street for the week - there's covered storage by the front door. Golf course and lagoon complete with 'gator in the back. Easy bike ride to beach and Harbor Town. Decor could use an update in spots but with the economy that's not a priority. Staff pleasant and helpful. Beach club is great.

“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2009
5
people found this review helpful

Nice villas on the Heron Point Golf Course. Pros - Shopping center across street didn’t have much because of closures, the town had a lot of that; the location in the center of Sea Pines Plantation was advantageous; the bike trail was right outside the door; the back of villa overlooked golf course allowing us a nice view of the local wildlife; villa was clean, roomy and had all the necessities including internet access.

Cons - there were no organized activities, the pool was small, there was just 2 shuffleboard courts and the available beach was a drive away.

Great place for couple wanting golf or a family with young children. Older teenagers might be bored. Sea Pines Plantation and Hilton Head in general is very low key. Bike trails are wonderful, wildlife is everywhere, watercraft available, but not much else.
