4 Catboat

Our house was EXACTLY what we needed for our large family. Plenty of bedroom space, kitchen space and open area for gathering together. Great size pool and also very short walk to the beach. Accomodations were as good as advertised. GREAT VACATION...We'll be back..

We have rented the same home from this company for several years. They are a top notch company which is service oriented. This year we had a problem with regulating water temperature in one of the showers. Within just a few hours of calling, our problem was fixed. Upon arrival the home was spotless and ready for fun and relaxation. Thanks, Vacation Homes of Hilton Head for a great vacation.

We had a beautiful week at the beach this year. Our house was okay. We have outgrown it and the owners need to give it some TLC. It definitely needs some repairs and freshening up, but within minutes of my texting HHH for needed repairs, my request was acknowledged and the repair was were made quickly. Even with after office hour calls/texts service was provided.

Overall, generally fantastic. Spacious, comfortable, nicely furnished. Had a terrific time. Just a few minor feedback comments/suggestions: 1. Please post some detailed TV operating instructions; some guests (all old geezers over 75) got frustrated they couldn’t find shows they wanted to watch. 2. Beach access is not as convenient as at Sea Pines and Port Royal; should provide some directions on beach access. Also, it would be more competitive with other rentals if they would provide bicycles and beach chairs. 3. As nice as this house is, it’s starting to show its age, and some features are dated and tired, the bathrooms are overdue for updates, as are some of the window treatments. And while you at it, please raise the bathroom counters to a normal height to cut down on bending over to wash hands. Take these comments as constructive feedback and not strong criticisms. We would not hesitate to rerun to this house.

Great house great location. Plenty of room and spacious. House is a tad outdated but not a big deal. Had a snafu when booking. I was charged twice on my debit card and had issue with the bank for a few days until I received a credit. but I get it, these things happen. Management was very responsive on other items. If choosing Hilton Head again will use management company again.

This is the second time we have rented this house and everything was great. It was nice to see that the back deck was replaced. The house is in a great location and only a short walk to the beach. The management company was also very responsive. I do wish they could mail the parking passes in advance. It is hard to get everyone into Palmetto Dunes when arriving at different times.

Our oldest daughter nicknamed this the house of symmetry! Downstairs there were two matching king bedroom suites with enormous bathrooms and each having a huge walk-in closet. Each had a private door to a private deck facing the pool area, with a very large pool we all enjoyed. One of those downstairs suites had another bedroom, next to it, with two queen beds and a private bath. Upstairs, with an enclosed loft where the kids loved to play, were two matching bedrooms each with two queen beds. Both of those bedrooms had full size bathrooms. Downstairs in the center was a large great room, with sliding glass doors to the deck and pool area. Both rooms were nicely furnished and provided a large living room and dining room with seating for ten. The kitchen was ample with another table for six. Lots of handy appliances including a regular coffee maker and a Keurig, as well as an air fryer. Laundry was right off the kitchen. Great layout, no wasted space, very clean and a short 3 minute walk on a paved path to the beach. Only issue we had was the refrigerator needed to be replaced, but with one phone call VHHH management brought in a replacement for the week. If the owners get a new fridge, we’ll likely return to this house next summer. Truly more than met all our needs.

Overall the house was great for our family however some basic necessities lacking….. had a “spare” refrigerator sitting in our entryway for most of the week. I guess it wasn’t that big of a deal except for the fact they knew the refrigerator wasn’t working and didn’t take care of the situation before our arrival. Other minor issues were addressed quickly. Pool was great!

Our group of tennis ladies had a wonderful vacation at 4 Catboat. Our group has stayed with Vacation Homes for many years. The staff is professional and friendly. The house is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach. Palmetto Dunes offers tennis, golf and pickleball. Grocery stores, restaurants and shopping just outside PD. The house offers plenty of space for our team - great room, dining, well equipped kitchen, pool beach, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms. We will definitely return to 4 Catboat.

The property managenment were very good to schedule with but the house has several issuses.
1. Property is listed as a 10 adults rental.
- Each upstairs bedroom did not have any
dressers or drawers to put away clothes for
the weeek.
- the pool area has (3) lounge chairs for the
entire group of Adults
- the kitchen does not have cabinets or pantry
storage for food, All food was left out on the
counters
2. Garage was locked and unavalable to renters for storage of
beach chairs/ canopies.
3. Backyard grille either needs replaced or burners replaced.

Overall i would not rent this property again.

Anonymous from Fairlawn - Posted: 8/1/2022

Hi, Tom, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. It's a bit confusing because 1. the property is listed as 18 guests maximum, not 10. The upstairs bedrooms do have closets to store your luggage, clothing, etc. We do apologize for the lounge chairs-one of the previous guests had broken some and we are happy to report that replacements were ordered and are now poolside at this home. We do not advertise that the garage is available for guests' use on our website or in the guest portal so this should not have been a surprise. We will certainly take a look at the grill-this was never reported during anyone's stay this summer-(we unfortunately can't fix what we aren't made aware of.) It's also the first time we've had someone comment about food storage. We do hope you will allow us to host you at one of the other 65 homes we manage upon your return. We wish you the very best.

This was a perfect vacation. Beginning with the actual rental process through the last day of our vacation everything was wonderful. We had one concern during our stay pertaining to the bed in the master bedroom. The problem was solved within two hours of our call. Their staff is very professional and friendly. I can’t speak highly enough about them. This home was beautiful and perfect for our family. We hope to stay there again.

Every other year my family meets with 2 other dear friends from college and their families At Hilton Head Island. this year we landed in 4 Cat Boat. we loved the property! Location was wonderful. The house was clean enough, however it could use some updating. Lavatory faucets were the old crystal ball "pull up" style your grandparents had. Faucets are cheap to update. Kitchen, breakfast nook and laundry has a narrow one-way entrance.
The range had a malfunction. the pool was hot and bad with algae. someone had left pool heater on. one call and it was corrected immediately. this brings me to the best part of the review. SERVICE! VH of HH was super! You cannot get better service. Thanks Andi and Shawna

The house was just as expected. Any little problem we had the Vacation Homes Company was extremely responsive. The pool pump stopped circulating on the last day and had I known it would become unswimmable by the end of the day I would have fought to get someone there to fix it.

I have rented a handful of houses and I would argue that it's better to leave basic cleaning supplies at the house in case of an accident or illness. It's just a little cost to the owner and creates the renter to be a little cleaner if needed. Also, I will never understand why some rentals don't allow condiments, spices and even baggies and aluminum foil to be left behind by each renter to avoid unnecessary garbage. I hate throwing all of that away at the end.

Hi, Kelly! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your kind words and will definitely pass on your suggestions to the owner and property manager. One of the reasons we don't provide condiments and spices is because of covid restrictions. We try to keep our homes as clean and clutter free as possible and this is also why we request any items like this be removed at the end of a guest's stay. We totally understand where you are coming from but with almost 70 homes in our portfolio, it would be quite a challenge from a quality control perspective as well. We hope to host you and your family back here again on the island very soon!

This house was perfect for us with school age kids. The pool is so close to the house, the picture is accurate (it’s always filled with leaves) we did have issues with the pool/spa heat but the manager did a great job taking care of it. The house was not dirty, but it also was not spotless. You could tell it has been well loved, which did make me less stressed about my kids being kids!
It’s super close to the beach also and felt secluded with the foliage! We even had deer walk right into the yard with everyone outside being loud, twice! The beds were all comfortable so that was nice. They need more regular cups, especially for kids, as well as blankets if you want more than a thin bed spread.

We had a great family vacation at 4 Cat Boat ! However, the sleeping accommodations were misrepresented. Two adults had to sleep in full beds and the bedding was subpar, some sheets were ripped. Also the pool area and decking was not landscaped, needed to be swept and cleaned. On the positive side, the kitchen was well equipped, the location was perfect, and the management very helpful.

It was very nice but they rented our ocean front room to someone else. We ended up with a house that we could not see or hear the ocean. The house was nice and they did refund us a little money back. The house was very nice and a short pretty walk to the beach. We were disappointed that we didn’t have the view we paid for but other than that it was really nice.

Anonymous from Whitesburg - Posted: 10/6/2020

Juanita thank you for leaving a review. We are so very sorry about the situation we all encountered at the original home you rented. I do hope the refund we provided was a bit of help even though the home you were moved to did not have the ocean view you planned for. I hope you were able to enjoy to extra square footage, bedrooms, and private pool as this is a great home just not the oceanfront you originally choose.

Vacation Homes of Hilton Head staff

My family had a wonderful time. The property was very clean and the location was exactly as it was described on the overview. The management was very helpful. We got food from Crazy Crab, Hudsons, Steamers and Kenny B's. It was all very good with great customer service. Because of covid-19, we didn't do many activities. Do to the very hot temperatures, the upstairs bedrooms were slow to cool down and the queen sized bedrooms seemed rather dark. I would rate everything a 5 and I would certainly recommend this property.

Our family has been coming to Hilton Head for the last few years and this was our first time in Palmetto Dunes. We immediately fell in love with everything about it! The location of this home is incredible. We had no clue it was so close to the beach which was helpful for carrying beach toys and kiddos.
The pool in the backyard was very large. Everything was clean and there were plenty of lawn chairs and a table and chairs. The inside of the home was clean, but it could use a little attention. There were broken window blinds, doors were difficult to shut, and very low water pressure. Nothing major at all. Home could just use a little updating.
The vacation staff was very helpful and great to work with. The details were very clear regarding check-in and check-out.
Overall, we had the best stay! The fact that this house was very close to the beach and had a large pool in the backyard made it a hit for our family. The updates are minor compared to the great memories we made last week. We will be back to Palmetto Dunes and will rent this house again.

This is a perfect location. Our mornings with coffee outside brought us the birds and the deer. The morning mist made us feel like we were deep in the woods. Our proximity to the beach was exactly what we wanted. Just the right amount of walking. The house accommodated everyone nicely and we all managed to work around each other in the kitchen space. My only complaint was the housekeeping. Whoever does it .... doesn’t really do it well. Dust dirt and sand under tables and chairs, dishwasher full, not everyone given towels and various other little things. This property has so much potential and I hate watching places that have little maintenance and upkeep. However, if I had to be quarantined ish during our stay it was overall a great experience.

Over all we had a very enjoyable time. General condition needs some updating.
The carpet looked very dirty because of stains. The washer, dryer and microwave were very loud. Tile was falling off in one of the showers and there was air in the pipes which caused a very loud noise and poor water pressure. The air intake vent for the air conditioner was dirty and more than likely the filter needs to be changed. Happy with location, easy to excess to the beach. Property management were great to work with, sent someone on the same day we called with a problem with the dryer. If some updates are done on this property, we would recommend it.
We appreciated the free bike rental and one free passage for the nature cruise. We always enjoy the restaurants, Skull Creek Boathouse, British Pub,
Old Oyster Factory, Black Marlin and Frankie Bones. Kids love Giuseppes' Pizza.

Spacious home, easy walk to beach, and nice pool made for a great enjoyable vacation. The home had comfortable furnishings and a great layout for our family that consisted of 13 members from 5 different households. Everyone liked having their own space and bathroom. There were some minor things going on with the house when we arrived, but the maintenance crew promptly came out to address. We were also a little disappointed at the cleanliness of the home at arrival as we found a lot of trash from previous occupants. Some of the trash was in plain sight and missed. Most was under beds/furniture, which we probably only saw due to having a toddler spreading and hiding toys everywhere. But all in all, we really enjoyed the home and would definitely consider booking again.

I believe we were among the first to rent this property after it has been acquired as a rental property by Vacation Homes of Hilton Head. So, there were some growing pains - some good aspects and some not so good. Based on our contacts with Vacation Homes, I expect the rough spots will be smoothed out soon, they were very responsive to our inquiries and issues.

GOOD STUFF: location-really nice and really close to the beach, we loved the 'secret shortcut' to the beach access path; recently renovated pool; updated appliances in kitchen; adequate parking for 5 vehicles and a bevy of bikes; updated furniture and interior were nice; great sleeping arrangements for us; kitchen and dining areas easily accommodated our large group; space - we were very pleased with how spacious this house is, plenty of room for everyone, never felt crowded or cramped at all.
NOT SO GOOD STUFF: DO NOT ARRIVE WITH FROZEN FOODS ON YOUR FIRST DAY - while the refrigerator is newer and very nice, VHHI has a truly weird cleaning/prep process and we had to reset the fridge thermostat and wait 24 hours before we could use the freezer; the exterior needs some work - the wooden deck was in poor shape and nearly everything on the exterior could have used a coat of paint, not to mention the plants growing in the gutters; the gas grill was a little finicky - it barely worked the first day, but got extremely hot the rest of the week thanks to a visit from the maintenance manager; the upstairs air conditioning was a little weak and questionably maintained (no air filters).

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay. Between the grill problems and freezer problems, the first day was tough, but after that, things went smoothly and we had a great time. We also got a very reasonable rate for a house of this size and proximity to the beach (maybe because it was a new property for VHHI?) IF we visit HHI again next summer, we will check on this one.
