We had a wonderful stay at 12 Whelk St. The house was enormous! Our three generations had plenty of room to spread out! This is the second year we have rented through Vacation Homes of Hilton Head. We have always been very pleased!
The house is a very close walk to the beach. The walk area from the driveway to the gate does need to be sprayed to kill poison ivy which is in abundance to the side of the walkway.
The kitchen was adequately supplied for our needs. We did bring a crock pot, ice cream machine, and a portable ice maker. The massive round dining room table was nice for us to gather around to eat!
It was easy to get our devices on wi-fi. There was an abundance of TV channels and Netflix. We noticed 2 controllers were missing the backs of them so the batteries were showing. Also one chair had a broken leg in the living room.
The home overall was accommodating and very clean. The elevator was great to carry luggage and groceries between floors!

Manager's Response:

Thank you so much for the review! We are so happy you enjoyed this home and its easy beach access! We are working on the broken chair leg however finding a furniture repair person during the summer has been extremely hard and we sorry about that. We hope to have your group back again very soon!

We had plans to celebrate my cousin's birthday at the beach with a few couples. It ended up that it was only going to be two couples with kids. This house is massive and we each got our own floor, which was really nice. With the two garages, it was easy to store all our beach supplies. The swimming pool was refreshing and tucked in behind the house, it was nice that there was minimal sun. The walk to the beach was just fine since we were so close. I will definitely be back!

Manager's Response:

Thank you so much for the review Rebecca! We are so thrilled we were able to host your cousins' birthday and your group stay! We are so happy to hear the house was such a perfect fit and hope to host your group again soon!

We had a wonderful week at this home. Very quiet neighborhood and just a short walk to the beach.
Pool is nice, but very small. If you have more than five adults in the area, it will feel cramped.
Two chairs in the living room had broken legs. I placed a work request, hopefully they will be fixed prior to the new tenants arriving.
Overall beautiful home in a fantastic location. Looking forward to returning.

Manager's Response:

Thank you so much for the review. The Property Manager is working on getting those chairs fixed as quickly as she can. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed the home and its location. We do hope to have you back again soon!

The house is beautiful and so accommodating there is so much space and super great for our girls trip! Will definitely be back! Never did receive my bottle of wine for this review. Not a lot of hot water on top floor. No filters on the screen outlets

Manager's Response:

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review, I am so very sorry about the wine. We were closed over the weekend but we owe you one for your next stay! I am happy to hear that your group had enough space to relax and enjoy a girls trip.

12 Whelk was another great rental managed by VHHH (we’ve stayed in 3). The location was great with a only short walk to the beach down a private pathway. The home was spacious and clean and the multi levels allowed for privacy. We loved the many balconies that were off of every room.
And, the elevators were especially helpful with luggage!
Overall great place and wonderful management company.

Manager's Response:

Thank you for taking the time to review! We are so happy to have had your group back in another one of our great homes! This home is one of our favorites with the easy beach access and layout and we are glad you enjoyed those perks as well. We can't wait to host your next stay!

We couldn't make our week due to a legal battle for our foster son and we were not allowed to take him. It was unfair to leave a 4.5 yr old with strangers during our fun week. We only were given $460 refund..... I bet it would've been a fun trip otherwise

Manager's Response:

Thank you for the review Ronald. I truly wish we could have done more however you never notified VHHH of your situation or that you were not planning on coming. We were only made away when our Guest Ambassador made the arrival call Aug 14 as you were set to arrive the 15th. Again I truly wish we could have done more to help but we were given no time to do so. I do hope you will contact our Reservation Manager the next time you wish to book a stay on HH as she is fully aware of the situation and ready to help.

Great place to spend a weekend.

Had a wonderful stay here with my family. Very comfortable. Great bedrooms, bathrooms and balconies. Excellent location! Beach was a very easy walk. Kitchen was so well equipped! Had everything we could possibly need and more. Small pool if that's what you're looking for. A few minor complaints...bedroom doors didn't all lock, several light bulbs were out, garage door didn't always open.

Manager's Response:

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I apologize for the minor issues which I will pass along to my facilities manager to address right away. We hope to have you back very soon!

Great place to stay with family. Close to beach. Beautiful home. Gorgeous bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Had everything we could need. Downsides: Very tiny pool. A few lightbulbs out. And wish there were screens in the windows. Had trouble with the garage door. Couldnt find any sheets for the trundle bed or pillowcases for the extra pillows. But all in all a lovely home!

Manager's Response:

Thank you for letting us know about those things. We will get those details over to our facilities manager to address. We are happy to home was a success for your stay and look forward to your next stay with us!

The house was very nice and the location was fantastic. It could use some updates as there were many broken items such as drawers in bedrooms and some lighting. We also had some issues with the garage door closing. The main problem was no where to store food as all cabinets were filled with dishes and there was no pantry so we had to leave alot if food on countertops. I did read that in previous reviews so you think they would have come up with a solution.

Manager's Response:

Hi Jacquelyn, thank you for all of your positive feedback! We are happy to hear that everyone enjoyed their stay and that the layout worked well for your entire group. We did not receive any phone calls from you or your party. If you called us, we would have had these issues resolved during your stay. Keep in mind that renters can be tough on properties and they tend to show more wear and tear later in the season towards the end of summer. We hope to see you again next year!

One bedroom off the kitchen and then 2 bedrooms on the next to floors. There were 2 things we didn’t like. One the balconies while plenty where not big enough to hold all of us at once. That is something we have enjoyed in the past. The other thing we didn’t like was the lack of a pantry so we had to put our food on the counter which then limited our counter space. If they replaced the one piece of furniture in the kitchen with something more functional it would be great. This house is close to the park also. A piece of advice ...most homes we have stayed at in the past had spices and beach things left by previous occupants. That isn’t allowed in HH. They have to throw it all away.

Manager's Response:

Hi Lori, thank you for all of your positive feedback! We are happy to hear that everyone enjoyed their stay and that the layout worked well for your entire group. As far as your recommendations we will pass them along to the owners and property manager to consider. We hope to have you all again soon!

The house has a very nice set up. It is very clean and well maintained. A recommendation would be to replace the drawer unit in the kitchen that has the bottle opener on it with something that has more shelves. That would give us a place to put food and free up some counter space. We enjoyed our first visit (for most of us) to Hilton Head.

We loved our stay at 12 Whelk st! This house was in the perfect location being steps from the beach and not far from restaurants and shops. The house had plenty of space and everything we needed to cook and the grill was a great bonus. The only negative was that it was not very clean, and we found crackers crumbs all over one of the beds and many dishes needed to be washed before use. But, overall our stay was perfect and we would recommend and return to this house!

Manager's Response:

Hi Lindsay, thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad to hear that everyone enjoyed their stay. We did not receive any phone calls from you or your party. If you called us, we would have had the cleaners back out to the property. We can't wait to have you again!

Our family, 8 adults and 3 children, spent a week at this home. It's a beautiful large house and looks as it does in the pictures. A few negatives: When you pay this large amount for a rental you expect the home to be ready at 4pm. The cleaning team was there till nearly 5:30. While they did a good job, we have a "crawler" and quickly noticed how dirty her hands and feet were after crawling on the main floor. The main balcony off the living area, I believe advertised as a gathering place, had only a small table and 2 chairs, and while it had a slight ocean view and you could at times hear the ocean, the next house's a/c units are very close and for a lot of the time that's what you hear on that balcony. The countertops in the kitchen not in great shape. Comments: While I've seen complaints about the pool size, it worked fine for us and looking around, no one else has a larger pool in that area. The pool light does not work. We were hesitant to use the elevator, although it worked fine. There are a lot of steps in this house. The best view, as said by others, is from the kids bedroom which is unfortunate but not anything that could be changed. The beach is easy access but you do have to trudge through quite a bit of deep sand before reaching the firm sand area. I think we all loved that there were so many balconies, a bit of privacy for each bedroom. All in all we had a great week here, we stayed mainly in this area where none of us had really been before. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.

Manager's Response:

Hi Dennis, thank you for taking your time to write us a review. We are happy to hear that everyone enjoyed their stay. We must agree that the property has wonderful views from the balconies and each bedroom is pretty private. Unfortunately, sometimes properties may not be ready right at 4. WE do try our best to accommodate guests in this event. We did allow you to move your luggage in when you arrived. The cleaners were done just a few minutes after. We hope you will consider us again on your next visit!

This was a great experience for my family. Nice property and location. Short walk to the beach. The only time we had a concern was when we couldn't get enough hot water for the jacuzzi tub.

It was our first time visiting Hilton Head, and we loved the area. The home was beautiful & did accommodate our family. I was a little disappointed that the view was not what the photos depicted because they were taken prior to some new homes being built. The home location felt a little cramped & it lacked a lot of privacy because of the homes being so close together. There were a few issues with the elevator & air conditioning. But the property management was very quick to fix the problems. The home was clean, but it could use a real deep cleaning. We did enjoy our time at Hilton Head. The beach was beautiful and the homes in the area were gorgeous. It was a very quiet and peaceful place to stay.

Manager's Response:

Hi Shelia, Thank you for taking out the time to leave us a review. We are happy to hear that 12 Whelk Street met all of your families needs. The video that you saw was an older video that had been posted on YouTube prior to the home next door being built. Our website is going to always provide the most up to date information. We posted photos throughout the whole construction process and photos were available to guests prior to booking the home. Again, we are happy that overall you all enjoyed your time here in Hilton Head and we would love to host you again on your return visit.

We had a wonderful time at the 12 Whelk Drive location. The five bedroom, five bath house was just want we needed for our family. The house was clean and well kept (though they were still cleaning it when we arrived at 4:20 and didn't leave until after 5:00). Everything worked well. A seat on one of the toilets was broke, but they came and replaced it right away. Working with the people at Vacation Homes was wonderful; unlike some other places we have rented. The beach was just a short walk out the front door and down a pathway. The beach was wonderful, not very crowded. This property has two garages which was great for storing all the beach stuff. The pool is very small, but we had small children, so no problem for us. If you had older children or teenagers, I'm afraid it would be too small. The only other complaint would be the house that we had to walk by going to the beach was under construction and they had dumpsters, trucks, trailers and port-a-potty all setting in the driveway and very hard getting our vehicles in and out some days. Also, going to the beach was trying on days getting around equipment they would leave in the way. If the construction had not been going on, it would have been a 5 star stay!!! Would definitely stay here again if every in the area!!!

The cleaners were running a bit behind time as the previous renters left the property a bit more dirty than usual. The cleaners wanted to ensure that the house was cleaned thoroughly but we did allow for you to move your things in at 4:00pm as cleaners were close to finished. Again, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed it and we hope to have you again soon!

We had a great stay at the 12 Whelk Drive location! It was a beautiful 5 bedroom, 5 bath house with a short walk to the beach. It had great beach views even though you are not beach front. Several balconies to enjoy the weather from. Also, had two garages which was great for storing all the beach stuff. Negatives about the house, they were still cleaning it when we arrived at 4:20 and it was after 5:00 before we could move all our stuff in. There was also construction going on in the house next to ours which we had to walk by everyday to get to the beach access. With all the workers parking there vehicles, trailers, dumpsters and portapoty, it was hard to get cars in and out of the drive some of the days. There were also days it was difficult to get to the beach access because of all the construction stuff. The pool is really small, so if you had teenagers, it would be too small, but we had little kids..so not bad. All in all, it was worth every penny we spent!!! Would highly recommend!!!

This is our first stay at Hilton Head. The beach is beautiful and the area is well kept and nice. Initially we were concerned with walking distance to the beach because our daughter is very pregnant & swollen. The walk was a little longer than we expected, but it was manageable for our daughter. We were disappointed by the homes being compacted together which made us feel a little confined, and restricted the ocean views. On the upside, all the adjacent homes were beautiful. The beach home was comfortable & provided the space we needed for our family. We had a few issues with the air conditioning & the elevator stopping just inches short of what was needed for the door to open so we could exit. My husband used the Manuel latch to open the door so we could exit. We reported it, and property management quickly sent maintenance to promptly repair the elevator and air conditioning. The pool area is small, but it did provide a place for the kids to splash around. Loved Harbour Town & the Golf. Very nice town

Although we had a wonderful time, the construction was not complete next door and they started before 8 every day. We had to pull nails from the pool before the kids could get in and we had to check it everyday. The location had easy access to the beach and the house is very nice but needed some work.

Manager's Response:

Hi Debbie, We do make all renters aware that there is ongoing construction next door to the home and for that reason we discounted the rates for the season.

Please, if you are looking to rent this property while construction is happening - DON'T! I believe this property shouldn't be for lease during the massive construction that is happening right next door. At 6am on weekdays the crew started working (yep, 6am!) at 8am the noise of heavy machinery started. The pool was full of white powder because of them sanding walls... There is not privacy at all in that property. No curtains in the main level... and people are working right outside your window... seriously, I could hear them talking outside of the balcony. There isn't a fence or any kind of division that would make the pool more private. When I call the office (days before arriving) I asked how the status of the construction was, and if that would make my stay uncomfortable- they said that they were working mainly on the inside (Lies!) As well I asked for the "famous" discount that we were supposed to had - when we did the math (the office secretary and me) we could tell that the discount was a little off .

Manager's Response:


Elizabeth, It is clearly advertised on our website that there is ongoing construction right next door to this property. We make every attempt to make renters aware of this prior to booking. The rates were lowered for the season prior to the start of the construction. We are sorry that you weren't pleased with your stay but again we make all renters aware of this prior to booking.

The house is large and spacious, which easily accommodated our large family without feeling like we are on top of one another. The construction next door is very close and unfortunate and does take up what was one probably a fantastic view, but we knew that going in and received a discount. We are beach bums and spend most of our time there, so other than being inside during poor weather or at night, it didn't really effect us too much. The great thing about this house is the proximity to the beach. The walkway is feet away and makes it very convenient. The pool isn't large but was fine for our kids to splash around in.

Hello, The pictures advertised on the website are accurate. If you read the property description it notes that there is construction going on as a house id being built next door. We do not try to mislead our guests and let everyone know prior to booking this home during the 2017 summer season that the views will be obstructed but there will still be ocean views.

We found the house easily. When we were staying, there was ongoing construction which would start at 7:30am. So sleep was disturbed by the noise. The price was adjusted for this inconvenience, so it was still worth it. The location to the beach is amazing. The views from the bedrooms are great, but the construction is an eye sore from the main living room area. We had three generations staying in the home and the elevator was a big help for the grandparents and pregnant sister in law. The kids bedroom accommodated all the kids and the second master across from the kids room was extremely convenient for the young parents. We had a wonderful time staying in this house. Unfortunately when the new homes are built, the views of the beach for this home will be compromised. The pool was ok, not really an amazing sitting area by the pool. But our kids enjoyed nonetheless. There was a leaking pipe on our access to the beach. It was smelling really bad. We thought it was sewage water. I hope that is fixed for other gue

Our stay was for our 40th anniversary and we had our children and grandchildren stay with us. The location was fantastic. The unit itself was fabulous. We were all impressed with the unit.

Home is just steps from the beach and the views are great. Second row price for almost beachfront accomodations. The only complaint that I had was that the pool was a little small. Very small if you had several guests. Other than that we loved it!
