Wonderful location

We love Night Heron. Very quiet and beautiful. The condo is very nice and we enjoyed our stay. We have e-bikes so this is a nice location to the gate to ride on the Island since they are not allowed in Sea Pines. Also very close to the beach. Next time, as a personal preference, I would like a dishwasher and larger refrigerator and freezer. The communication was great - we had a great stay.

This property is in a nice quiet area and very walkable to the beach. We appreciated the natural light and modern decor. If you are staying with a family, there is not a dishwasher and a small fridge/ freezer. Nice to have a washer and dryer available in this rental.

Hilton Head Stay

I enjoyed our stay! The only feedback I'd give is that the cleaners need to triple check behind them as we found someone's underwear in the top drawer when we went to put our clothes in there.

Nice little Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed our 7 day stay. We would stay here again. We did have a problem that was addressed by the owner. We first entered the house to find the under counter refrigerator turned off and the door open. This was alarming. After texts back and forth to remedy the issue I was able to fix it. The owner of the property had already arranged to install a new unit and he did so a few days later. I appreciate his willingness to expedite the issue. The house is very well decorated and the layout is cozy. The washing machine cold and hot are switched and a label says as much but I think this could be easily fixed in 5 min by switching the feeds on the back of the machine. Some people don’t want their clothes in hot water. Everything else worked as it should and the unit was clean. The king size bed was quite comfortable. The screened porch was a nice place to hang out. We enjoyed our stay in the house and the closeness to the beach, pool, and restaurants make this a place we would stay in again.

Lovely, Little Bungalow

A great location, just a fourth a mile away from where our main group (15) where staying. Perfect for two people. One missing, amenity.. a freezer, which I "assumed" there would be. After checking amenities, it was not listed, nor was the small refrigerator.....but, thankful it was there. Lesson learned don't "assume". A lovely week!

Helpful to know

This place was great. Relaxing and accommodating. Please know there is NO freezer. Maybe it was mentioned but I may have overlooked it. Both drawers are refrigerator only. If you stop on your way to this place, DON"T buy a 1/2 gallon of ice cream hoping to have it for dessert during your stay. You will have to consume it when you arrive. Also, no mirror that shows anything below the chest. (above the bathroom sink). I went to Walmart and purchased a full-length mirror that I brought home. Wanted to see if everything was "tucked in" before going out for the evening. The App and emails were very helpful. And wish the guard wouldn't have insisted on the $9 cash to enter the first day. Could have returned with the pass in literally 5 minutes.

Cute Yurt by the Sea

Stayed here for a week and loved the location. The unit has been freshened up and minimalist. It’s about time for a refresh but otherwise it was clean and quiet. The only issue I had was with the property management company. I received my welcome email and it had the code to get in the home. Once I got inside and looked for the house binder I realized there was NO information about the unit. I had to text to ask about how to lock the door! There were no instructions on how to work the oven, the tv or how to locate the beach. Things like knowing I shared a parking pad with the neighbor could have helped. The WiFi password had been crossed out and written to the side. At least update and freshen up the binder. Include information about appliances, ways to the beach, local information and the neighborhood guidelines. My big issue was the lights outside the unit weren’t working. I emailed twice and got a response that they would take a look at it. Instead they dropped off a box of light bulbs which didn’t fit nor did I have a ladder to reach the lights. The email to confirm checking out basically had the tone of be out by 10 because we have someone coming in right behind you. Not friendly, approachable or warm. If you never stayed on the island before you may want to consider either doing a lot of research so you are prepared or rent from a different company that will make you feel welcomed.

Great little beach bungalow for my husband and I. We have stayed in the Night Heron bungalows before and this one did not disappoint. Spacious for 2 people, close to the beach with a secluded feeling. The bungalow had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would certainly book again!

Great location.

We stayed here for a long weekend (4 nights) over Memorial Day. Location is great…just inside the Sea Pines Gate with an easy bike ride/walk to the beach. Screened deck was a great place to unwind and relax. Listing said there was a dishwasher but there wasn’t. Not a huge deal for us as we ate out most meals.

Excellent remodel and manager responsiveness

Location, location, location. Just a short 5 minute walk to the beach, which is very important since beach parking is scarce. We were the first renters after the gorgeous February 2023 remodel project. The stainless steel under-counter fridge and freezer frees up more counter space above the pull out drawers. Next to the fridge is a slim wine cooler, which also works well for beer or hard seltzer. Excellent counter lighting for cooking. The new king size bed was very comfortable. We liked the contemporary style beach furniture and wall lighting. The best feature is the large screened in porch with teak furniture. Not only is it lovely but it extends the living area through easy access from the tv/kitchen area or the bedroom sliding glass doors. We also value the private view out every window due to the beautiful palmetto landscaping. The BeachBum manager, Jim Brown, was very responsive to our questions and requests. Check-in process is a breeze. Garbage is picked up twice a week: Wednesday & Saturday. You don’t have to move the bins from their outdoor storage space.

Run Down

This house has not been maintained, holes in the screen on the porch, fans loud and not working property, stains on carpet, etc. The house was not cleaned properly - had dead bugs all over the floor and floors not vacuumed or mopped properly. In their defense, I didn't call the property management office since I have a dog and didn't want the disruption of a cleaning crew coming back in. The property management company was very easy to work with and communicated well.
