Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 2 Royal Tern was amazing. The outdoor space is the best we have had after several trips. House is large and roomy. The L shape provides two wonderful separate living spaces and great kitchen. Its a short 3-4 minute walk to the beach. Kitchen is very well stocked and house was cozy and welcoming. Loved the back covered deck and chairs. The two large masters are amazing and huge. Honestly the pictures do not do it justice. This home was our family's favorite after several trips to Hilton Head.

We had a great time at this beautiful home! There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own spaces. The pool area is my favorite - it’s very spacious, and also very private. A cup of coffee with a book on the wrap-around deck is the best way to start the day. Can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for staying with us Lisa! We are so happy you enjoyed the space and pool. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

We had a great visit and stay in Hilton Head for Christmas! The property is quite large which was great for a large family vacation. We had a group of 12, and everyone was happy with their sleeping arrangements.My only "complaint" is that we called the management company in advance to see if there were specific items available in the kitchen because we were planning Christmas cooking (Cuisinart, griddle, electric frying pan). The management company told us that that the items were not in the house and indeed they were. Therefore, we brought these items from home unnecessarily. I wish the management company would have looked in the home before telling us no or at least told us they did not know.

Did like the check in process. Found stains on bed covers.

Deloris W. - Posted: 9/23/2024

The home at 2 Royal Tern was exactly what we hoped for for our weeklong, multi-age family get-together. Plenty of room for our family of 14. The beds were very comfortable, and the family room accommodated all of us for our time together. The well-appointed kitchen was much appreciated. A very short walk to the beach allowed for multiple trips to beach during the day. Our favorite part of the house, for adults as well as children, was the pool area. The Island Time team was responsive to all our questions and requests and did so in a timely manner. We would definitely consider returning to this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great time at Royal Tern. We filled the house with 14 people and there was ample space for everyone. Bedrooms are big and spacious, with nice size bathrooms attached to each one. Plenty of common spaces for everyone to hang out together without feeling cramped. Location was very close to the beach with a private walkway straight there. The pool was just as amazing. Negatives: the house only has 2 trash cans outside and trash comes by 1x per week which is not enough for that size house in my opinion. While it wasn’t dirty by any means, the house definitely felt lived in and wasn’t as sparkly clean as other homes. All that aside, we would absolutely rent again!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was outstanding. It was very spacious and perfect for our 3 families. The home was beautifully and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The bedding was very comfortable We greatly appreciated access to the 2-car garage which we used to store our bikes and beach gear when not in use. The pool was large with both shallow and deep ends and the area was well suited to outside dining. There was easy off-street access to the beach and the beach was never too crowded. Everything was clean and well maintained with the exception of some of the pool lounge chairs whose fabric had large rips/tears. Our only negatives were regarding some services. The pre-ordered dinner for our arrival on Saturday never showed up. I was able to get a refund without too much difficulty. The outside trash bins were packed full on our arrival and we received no trash service until 2 days before our departure and after multiple complaints. Our trash had to be left in bags on top of the bins and wild animals got into them creating a nasty mess. In addition to pool and beach, we enjoyed the South Beach Marina and Harbor Towne areas, golfing at Sea Pines, and miniature golf with the kids.

Thank you for staying with us Marion. We appreciated your patience during your stay. The trash company had delays and we have been working with them for improvements. We hope to be able to welcome you back to this lovely home and have a chance to impress you.

We had a fabulous trip- hosted our two adult children, their spouses and my 84 year old mother. House was fabulous- very spacious, beautifully appointed, clean. Backyardscape was wonderful- beautiful pool and gazebo area. Spotlessly maintained Saturday and Wednesday with cleaning. Easy walk to beach- lovely trip we will be back!

Kelly M. - Posted: 5/21/2024

The house is wonderful. Great location. Beach path access just a half a block down the street. Unfortunately they were repaving Sea Pines Drive the week we were there. Major bummer as the pool/patio is right off the street. No fault of the owners or property managers… this was just luck of the draw, and honestly didn’t really impact our enjoyment of the property. The house is well insulated for noise… really didn’t hear much from inside, even from the master bedroom that sits next to Sea Pines Drive. The house has tremendous living space with two living rooms (televisions in both), four fantastic bedrooms upstairs including an upstairs common room (again with another smart tv). The master bedroom is monstrous. Unlike other homes we’ve rented at Sea Pines in the past, you do get access to the garage, which was great to store bikes and beach gear safely out of the weather. The pool/patio and porch (with rocking chairs) is fantastic. The pool heat wasn’t on when we arrived and unfortunately required two days of down town to get fixed. The property manager responded quickly and made every effort to get it fixed quickly. So that was a bummer for the kids… but again, these this can happen, and they were responsive and handled the situation well. This was the best house and location that we’ve had at Sea Pines (yes, you pay for that)… but this was our last family spring break before our oldest goes off to college, so we splurged this time.

This is a beautiful home and offers ample space for multiple couples to families to come together for a great vacation. The large kitchen with the L-shaped counter is perfect for visiting over drinks, snacks, or dinner. We found the kitchen to be very well stocked. The bedrooms are large, and the beds provide a good night's sleep. Each bedroom is equipped with plenty of sitting space as well which can supply those introverts with an escape from the crowds. We spent our afternoon and evenings around the pool and spa. The owner provided plenty of seating for lounging around the pool as well as pool toys for the swimmers. Even though the beach is a short walk, there is a wagon to assist with hauling chairs and coolers. I loved how there was space to sit without crowding others on the beach. The dolphins came through each day playing and jumping out of the water! For those active adults and children, there is ample opportunity for walking, biking, and golfing. Plenty of nearby restaurants offer great menus, but we ended up cooking most nights. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wishing to relax.

This beach house is amazing! It is spacious and packed with every amenity. We enjoyed lounging by the gorgeous pool. I also liked going out in the morning to have my coffee on the secluded back porch. So peaceful! The rooms were huge and more than enough to accommodate our large group. I was so excited that there were hairdryers in every bathroom! What a nice touch! The kids loved hanging together in the upstairs sitting area. We enjoyed the huge dining room table where our group could gather to eat and play card games. And most importantly, you can’t beat how close the house is to the beach!

Caitlin H from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Posted: 11/25/2022

This beach house has so many amazing amenities. The pool is private with a beautiful deck. There is easy access to the beach and bike path. The kitchen has everything you need! The house is very spacious. The bathrooms even have hair dryers! There were ample parking spots for our large group as well. We will definitely be back.

Kelly F - Posted: 11/25/2022

We were so happy with our stay here! The house is large enough that everyone had their own space, even with a large group. The backyard/pool area is beautiful and private. And the walk to the beach was so close. We will definitely be coming back to this house!

Our stay was excellent. The home was beautiful, clean and met all our needs for 9. A very short trip down a path to the beach, beautiful back yard and pool, bike paths just out the front door to anywhere and everywhere. Management company checked in a few times to be sure we didnt need anything. My family would highly recommend this home or Island Time Rentals. Thank you for a memorable vacation!
