Relaxing home close to everything!

From arrival to departure our stay was wonderful. We loved the cozy couches and comfy beds. The coastal decor was lovely and we seemed to notice something different each day. The kitchen was well appointed and we ate breakfast and had evening snacks without needing any appliance or tool that we couldn’t find. The home is located within a short walk to the beach and we ventured over one morning to catch the sunrise. Local restaurants and shopping were close but the street the home is on is very quiet. It was chilly while we were here but we did manage to get some pool time in one day. The pool area is so nice even on a cool day just to sit in the sun. We used the washer and dryer as well which was a nice amenity. We also traveled to Savannah one day within less than an hours drive. We would stay here again!

Great summer vacation home

This was the perfect home for our summer vacation. We loved it! It was so clean and inviting and had ample space to enjoy time together cooking meals, playing games and relaxing by the pool. The location of the home is in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the beach as well as restaurants and shops. We will definitely book this home again if we return to Hilton Head!

Great Location!

7 of us stayed at The Cottage on Park and it was a perfect rental for us! We especially loved playing games at the huge dining room table in the evening. Walking to Coligny and the beach was easy- even for Grandma who is 83! The beds were super comfortable and we found ourselves sleeping in longer than usual!

Great spring break vacation

The Cottage on Park was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The beach is a quick walk across the street and Coligny shops and restaurants are a 1/2 mile walk away. The pool was a nice amenity, the kitchen was extremely well equipped, absolutely every need was met. Additionally, the hosts were readily available, answering any questions we had extremely quickly. We love visiting Hilton Head and will definitely consider this property again in the future.

Absolutely wonderful!

We loved this property! The pool was wonderful for the kids, and the home was perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach, and they supply a nice wagon and beach equipment including chairs. It was so nice to have that!! Short walk to the beach made it the perfect spot for us. We absolutely loved it. Highly recommend!

Cottage Perfection

The cottage was great. Location to the beach and Coligny was perfect. The cottage was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you needed. The only thing missing was the Golf Channel that the golfers wanted on the rainy evening/day. Will rent again.

Wonderful stay!

We had a great time here. Be sure to look outside for the beach chairs and beach cart to take everything to the beach. The Piggly Wiggly grocery store is a short drive away. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood.The pool was wonderful for everyone, but especially our granddaughters. The kitchen was well-equipped and the grill was good too. We highly recommend this property!

Girls Getaway

The Cottage on Park was a great escape to help create memories for a milestone birthday celebration! There were 3 of us and we each had our own bedroom & own bathroom. There was plenty of space & character in every corner of the home & it was clean. The pool was cute & receives full sun all day, a comfortable size to cool off after a day at the beach or adventure away from the house. It was important for us to have close beach access & distance to Coligny Plaza, this was an easy/quick bike ride to both. Getting rideshare service to various spots around the island was easy as well. Overall this was a positive experience!

Charming cottage

The house is nicely decorated, clean, and was perfect for our family of five. The kids loved the reading nook and pool. The kitchen is the perfect size for family meals and it was very convenient to have a table for games/puzzles and another for dining. There were plenty of linens, blankets, and bath towels. The easy walk to the beach and bike ride to Coligny is something we will all miss!

Every detail was exactly as expected. We can’t wait to come back! We learned that we could rent chairs and umbrellas and have them set up for us on the beach within walking distance from the cottage from Shore Beach Service, that was helpful.

Chill

I took my daughter and a couple of her friends to Hilton Head for a little R and R. The House was the perfect size for 4 people. Located on a quiet side street we barely had any cars go by. Great pool in the backyard with chairs to sit on and umbrellas to provide shade when it got hot. The beach and walking trails were just a 5-minute walk away. Coligney was a 10-minute walk away so you could get your steps in and do some shopping at the same time. Also, restaurants and grocery store are close by also. I can't come up with anything bad to report so if you're looking for something a little smaller and a little cheaper and still getting the same amenities as the bigger houses this is your place.

We will be back as soon as possible and will absolutely stay here again. Beautiful beach decor, completely renovated, everything you need for a perfect beach vacation. Thank you iTrip team.

Perfect

We loved this charming little cottage that lives large. It was perfect in every way for our family of five. It was beautifully decorated with plenty of space to spread out, cook meals, have another family over to cook out, play euchre tournaments , and just find your own nook to read. The private pool was such a treat to have in the mornings before we were ready to hear the beach and after returning from a hot day at the beach. The easy walk or bike ride to the beach and Coligny really makes this a five star property in my opinion. And added bonus was the beach location was not crowded so it was very easy to social distance. Will look to book this property anytime we visit HHI!

Great cottage in Hilton Head!

We recently spent five nights at The Cottage on Park with family members, including a 13 and 10 year-old. Everything was as advertised and we were quite pleased. The location is excellent if you want to be near the heart of Hilton Head without the noise. The pool was small, but great. The outside grill was new and while the tank was empty, it was not an issue because there was a spare in the shed (and when we reached out about the empty tank, the office was very responsive!). The kitchen was was well stocked with utensils, etc. They could use some new frying pans, but overall, they had everything we needed and it easily accommodated our group of six. The house was well cleaned and charming. The pool and beach gear was well-stocked with chairs, a wagon to haul stuff to the beach, noodles, chairs around the pool, etc. The only complaint, which cannot be helped in HH is that the large oak tree in back constantly shed leaves and seeds in the pool and all around. It was hard not to track this stuff into the house and my only recommendation would be for a rug to be placed inside the sliding door so this stuff didn't end up around the house. That is a nit-pick. The house is great and we would not hesitate to stay there again.
