Real reviews from families who stayed with us.
“This was our first trip to HHI and we are definitely going back! So much space and beautifully decorated. Easy walk to the beach. The outdoor space is private and we totally enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The owner was very responsive with any questions we had throughout the week!”
“Great house for our family of 10 adults and 6 children ages 4 to 16. Pool and hot tub very clean. Short boardwalk trek to the beautiful beach. Just the perfect property for our family.”
“You do not need to bring beach chairs, towels, beach boards as there are more than enough. It is a quick walk to the beach and the pool was delightful. Brian was more than accommodating.”
“Awesome location, plenty of space for our crew and our dog's first trip to the beach! So appreciate all the extras like umbrellas and beach chairs too. Great vacation home!”
“The house was as advertised. There was only a minor issue with the TV remote and Brian was quickly on site and fixed the problem. We can recommend this house to anyone that comes to Hilton Head with a large family.”
“Great house with a beautiful view. Short walk to the Marriott to enjoy a meal or a drink outside. Pet friendly and kid friendly.”
I personally own and manage a small, carefully selected collection of vacation homes in Hilton Head Island and Costa Rica, and I have since 2016. Because I stay closely involved with every property, guests get direct communication, local knowledge and the personal attention that is often missing with large rental companies.
I love five-star reviews and I'm broken-hearted with anything less, so I make sure you arrive to an exceedingly clean, well-appointed home. Beautiful homes, great locations, straightforward booking, and a stay you'll want to repeat.
Call Brian: 843-368-3359No. There are no booking or service fees added at checkout when you book with Brian directly, so there are no surprise fees on top of your rental rate (applicable taxes may apply).
10% is due when you reserve, 40% is due 90 days before arrival, and the remaining balance is due 60 days before arrival. No security deposit is required.
Cancel 90 days or more before arrival for a 100% refund of prepayments. Cancel 60 days or more before arrival for a 50% refund. After that, payments are non-refundable.

Brian manages every home personally and lives nearby in Playa Flamingo for the Costa Rica properties, where a bilingual property manager can also arrange groceries, transportation, a private chef and tours.
Yes, the same homes and the same hands-on owner. Booking here skips the platform service fees, and you deal directly with Brian before and during your stay.
