Us & 2 dogs

First off, we love HHI but furthermore we love the area of Sea Pines. This year we opted for a two-week vacation and when we found Carol’s property we booked right away. The ability to stay two weeks in our favorite place with our dogs is always wonderful but the private Pool made it even better!!

Great stay at the Rookery

Stayed a week and had a great time. The bike trails are a dream. The area has lots wonderful birding and nearby nature preserves. Don't miss the Coastal Discovery Museum for one of the best butterfly gardens that I've seen. Everyone loved the house (exceptionally well-supplied with kitchenware). At dusk, we enjoyed going down the street to the golf course to watch bats and hear the Great Horned Owl and one evening we saw a group of deer down there (mid-August).

At home feeling

We had an absolute wonderful time! The property is so clean and cozy! The communication with the Owner was top notch from the beginning. A family member had an injury while we were on vacation and Carol went out of her way to help. I HIGHLY recommend this property! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property

A wonderful location and great layout of rooms with privacy for all. Loved all the bathrooms. Pool was perfect for late afternoon kid activity after a day at the beach while parents alternated showering and meal prep. Bonus was the Rookery which we all enjoyed viewing every night. We would definitely rent again.

Our family has been vacationing on Hilton Head Island for more than 35 consecutive years. We especially like staying in Sea Pines Plantation. Over all the years we have never stayed in a home that was a better fit for our family. Simply stated it was a world class experience. Looking forward to our next stay.

We had a very nice time staying at this property😊 it was very clean, spacious, and a beautiful location. We had a little problem with the air conditioning when we arrived, but we just called Carol, and she took care of the problem as soon as she could…especially with it being over the weekend! It was repaired by Monday afternoon with a new part! Everyone had such a great time in the fenced in pool area☺️Our grandchildren had a blast❣️Thank you so much🏖️

Restful Rookery

The Rookery was a wonderful family vacation location. This was an exceptional property. Lots of bright rooms to spread out in and plenty of seating inside and out. If you come to Hilton Head in the summer, a pool is a must. The grandkids and adults enjoyed the pool just as much as the beach! The weather was hot, but picture perfect. The views facing the lagoon were fabulous and it was so peaceful and quiet (except for the calls from the egrets, hawks, wood storks etc 😄). I’m an avid birder and enjoyed seeing all the bird families. We enjoyed bicycling to the beach which was about 10 minutes away and along the many bike paths. We barely left Sea Pines….uncrowded beaches, fun pony rides for the grandkids, immaculate neighborhoods, golf clubs etc. We would love to return to the Rookery!

Great home for a family trip

The home was well-stocked and clean with plenty of room for everyone. The neighborhood was quiet with very little traffic. We rented bikes to make the one mile trip to the beach and to enjoy all the bike paths in Sea Pines. The pool was the perfect size and was enjoyed by our whole group. We enjoyed watching the birds flying around behind the house. Would stay here again should we return to HHI.

Christmas Vacation

We had 7 people stay in the house over Christmas. It was a great house to make holiday meals with the open floor plan. We had our dog with us, and it was a great area of Sea Pines to go on walks. Would definitely stay here again. The owners were excellent to work with and very responsive with all communications.

Family vacation to Hilton Head

This was our 2nd trip to Hilton Head, but first at this property. Carol Shultis was very easy to work with. She kept in touch with us throughout the entire process. The house was very nice and clean. My wife and I enjoyed bird watching and biking, while our 3 teens spent many hours at the pool. We rented bikes Palmetto Bikes at a discount provided by Carol. Great decision. We made daily trips to the beach (~1 mile) and Harbour town (~1.5 miles) by bike. We also enjoyed watching the sunset from the golf course. If we decide to vacation at HHI again, this property will be at the top of our list again.

Great quiet Sea Pines location

Our family had an amazing stay at The Rookery. The property was exactly as advertised, with the added bonus of a quiet neighborhood and low traffic street. We were able to easily ride our bikes to Harbourtown, the beach club and the Shops at Sea Pines. It is a large home and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The pool on property was a great feature and the home had all the essentials we needed. We definitely would recommend this property for your next family vacation. Carol is a great host and checked in with us throughout our visit. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

About the host

Host profile image
Never taking a vacation for years as I was very busy operating my horse farm, and my "free time" was taken up competing. My husband and I decide it was time to start looking for a vacation home that we could enjoy with his grown family. Arriving in Sea Pines for a golf vacation, to improve on this new sport for me, we agreed that we had found what we had be searching for. We now own four homes that we offer for rent in Sea Pines, the other 3 are HomeAway numbers 239212, 3523347 and 7263910, these homes are numbers 6,11 & 31 on Live Oak Road.

Why they chose this property

Bermuda was my home for years. I loved looking out at the ocean whether it was calm or wild, the beauty of lush green surroundings and manicured golf courses.
Sea Pines offers all of this, with a delightful charm, right here in the U.S.A, the convenience of restaurants, shops and 3 golf courses, as well as charming Southern towns. We could also drive there and bring our dogs. Knowing how special it is for us to enjoy our dogs on our vacation, we decided our four rental homes here in Sea Pines should be both pet friendly and designed for easy vacation living.We enjoy Sea Pines and our other homes there as well. HomeAway 3523347, 7263910, 239212 all on Live Oak Road and all 4 bedroom homes and we allow dogs with no size limits.

What makes this property unique

This house is ideal for families, or just for couples. Pet friendly, (dogs only) it offers easy comfortable living for owners and their dogs. The solid courtyard fence surrounding the pool, allows dogs to enjoy complete freedom outside while being with their family.
With large comfortable bedrooms, each having their own TV's and several outside seating areas, it works for group interaction, or guests can get away for their own private times. With a central location in the Sea Pines Plantation, the location offers quick and easy access to any part of the island, and a variety of routes to get to there.
