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). The villa has been completely renovated for a relaxing beach getaway.

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. You will also be greeted by a shopping plaza predominately to dine at. An extended walk will get you over to 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 full bed 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 does include WiFi.

Island House Management/HOA allows ONE dog per a villa. We do not accept cats due to severe allergies. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE. For long term guests, a higher pet and cleaning fee may be applicable.

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 from across the way. Bikes can be delivered right to your doorstep and the property has multiple bike racks for use. 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.

Relaxing Gorgeous Escape
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?

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!

Heavenly, Indeed!
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!

Perfect Spot!
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!

Very comfy villa
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.

Winter get away
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!

Great vacation spot!
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!

Comfortable and Convenient
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.

Daughter's dream
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!
