12 Heron Street- The Happy Heron

This is our second time staying in this house. The first time was before the renovations. It feels like we are in a completely different house. Beachside just took over this house and everything was perfect. They were very responsive. We had an issue with the hot tub and they were over to fix it right away. We will definitely be staying here again.

The house was very nicely decorated and spotless when we arrived. Location was perfect. Short, mostly shady, walk to beach and is located across from a small nature reserve. The kids enjoyed watching the deer and other wildlife (no alligators!). The bedrooms are large and roomy with comfy beds and plenty of storage. Loved the 2 "living rooms". We could close one off so the hard-of-hearing adults could turn the TV volume up without disturbing others. The kitchen was nicely stocked with more than enough dishes and cooking utensils/pans. We really enjoyed the outside area and the entire backyard is fenced. Our dogs could not get out and had a potty area away from the pool area. The pool area is much larger than it looks in the pictures. From what we found, you cannot heat the hot tub without heating the pool. That rendered the hot tub useless in August because we preferred the refreshing pool. Very minor point to us! We would definitely rent this house again!

This house is fantastic! Everything has been updated, remodeled, etc. also, it is literally a 3-5 minute walk to the North Forrest area of Coligny Beach- we effortlessly spent hours at the beach each day and it was a blast. The house has tons of room. Our group included two families, 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 10-20). Everyone loved their rooms and felt like we were in the lap of luxury all week. The large open concept family room/kitchen was the hub of our families day to day activities. The kitchen was exceptional and our outdoor space including the spa and pool was a decadent luxury to the end of our beach days and a wonderful convenience for everyone on the trip to enjoy at any time. The saddest part of our trip was leaving. We love Hilton Head and it would be amazing if this was our permanent vacation home every time we visit Hilton Head Island.

The house was just remodeled and we loved the open floor concept! As soon as you walk into the door you are greeted by a big open space. We are a family of 3 and we had my parents from Germany with us. There was still plenty of room for another small family.The kitchen is very well stocked and you can tell the owners didn't take any shortcuts when it comes to the quality of the remodel, that counts for the bed rooms and bath rooms as well. We stayed at this place already a few years ago and were super happy to come back. And, we will be back in 2025.Everything was flawless, from booking the place, over communicating with Beachside, to staying there and checking out. It was super easy.See you again next year!

Perfect for our family vacation. The house is in a great location; short walk to the beach and Coligny Plaza. It was very clean when we arrived and had starter supplies until we could get to the store. Plenty of room for all of the family to gather outside, the living room, and around the table. The property manager/owner was timely in returning communication regarding the hot tub status.

The bunk bed room was key to this house being fun for kids. The pool was clean and well-maintained with easy quick walk to the beach. We enjoyed our stay!

It was our first trip to Hilton Head and it did not disappoint. If I had to do it again, I would stay here. The pool is big and was the perfect temperature. The house is very comfortable and welcome and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach is short and direct and were happy to see how close it is to the town too. Everything you need is within walking distance including restaurants, shopping and even a grocery store.

This property is great overall. Clean, close to the beach, and comfortable.

Great place to stay. A few blocks from the beach and easy access to the beach. Family had a great time on the beach and the pool area. Not far from Coligny Plaza. Had a few minor problems but the property management took care of issues. Would stay in this location again if the opportunity presents itself.

This was a nice home - walkable to cute shopping/cafes. It could use some updates (especially the kitchen) but we didn’t cook much. King beds were excellent - bunks were to be desired. The gas grill was excellent - even had a new propane tank for when the attached one ran out.

Fabulous location, clean home, and easy check-in!

Nice location and close proximity to the beach. Nice updated bathrooms and laminate flooring.

This property was a great spot for a family vacation. Very short walk to the beach and close to the shops/restaurants in the Coligny plaza. The pool was an added bonus. The house could use a little love in terms of general maintenance and a good, deep clean. Overall, I would recommend a stay here at the Happy Heron.

Nice property for the family size we brought. House was clean upon arrival. Pool was perfect.

Great, short walk to the beach, nice pool, nicely stocked kitchen, adequate washer/dryer, nice sized rooms.

The property itself is what we expected from the description. We were able to walk or ride bikes to shopping, restaurants and the main beach. We had access to a more private beach within a short walking distance, as well. Day trips in the car were also easy. So glad we were able to visit this property.
