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) and is nicely renovated for a relaxing beach getaway.

Island House Management/HOA allows ONE dog per villa. This is NON-NEGOTIABLE.
The pet fee is $165 per stay. Please click the “Bringing Pet” button to add the $165 fee to your reservation. We do not accept cats due to severe allergies. 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. Walk a few minutes further and you will reach 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 queen 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 includes Wi-Fi.

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 (free delivery) from across the way. 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.

The villa was very clean and had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. It was within walking distance of the beach, good restaurants, and shopping. The grocery stores were a short drive away. The complex and pool area were well maintained and had good spots to walk our dog. The other tenants were very friendly. We would definitely visit again!

A great place for vacation!

First off the property owners communicate very quickly if you need anything!!!! This property is a close walk to the beach, grocery store, and lots of good eating places!! The beds are very comfortable and never hear any of the neighbors. The den is furnished with nice sofa and two recliners with a very large TV for viewing your favorite show. The kitchen is very nice as well. Also I might add the blenders work very well! Wink.. this will always be our first choice when visiting Hilton Head.

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!

Great place

This was my family's first time in Hilton Head and we loved it! The condo was a great size for my family of 4 and we loved having 2 full bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. It was a short walk or ride to the beach and close to caligny. The condo is nicely furnished and the bed in the master is sooo comfortable!! Only thing we missed was a place to hang wet, sandy towels and beach stuff since there is no patio on the 2nd floor. Ended up dragging everything inside after the beach which created very sandy floors but there was a vacuum which I used and was great. Would definitely return!! :)

Perfect Piece of Paradise

We LOVED staying at the "Heavenly Sands" condo! My family of four stayed for a week during our spring break in April and it was just the escape we were looking for! The location is excellent as it is within walking distance to the beach and plenty of area restaurants and shopping outlets. The condo was very clean and the decor was adorable! Chris and Kim were the most hospitable hosts and Kim even checked in with us on the first day of our trip to see if we needed anything. Would recommend this little piece of paradise to anyone!

Wonderful condo

My husband and I stayed at this condo for 3 months (mid-January to mid-April). The location couldn't be better. Just a short walk to the beach and right on the walking/biking pathway. The condo complex was quiet and well maintained. Chris Alessi was a great host and very responsive. The condo itself was in good condition, with comfortable beds and furniture. If I was to plan another months-long stay, I might bring my own towels, as the towels provided were a little lackluster, though there were plenty of them. Overall, great place.
