49 Dune Lane-Sweet Carolina

Wonderful vacation home with a great beach and Coligny location. Plenty of room for our group of 24. The home management Beachside Get

Our family of 26 travels from Michigan to HHI every three years for a family vacation. This was our fourth time and our best vacation ever! Working with Beachside Getaway was phenomenal. Quinn and the staff at BG are kind, professional, and adept at making me feel that our family vacation was their top priority. The communication was excellent throughout and the website was very easy to navigate. Anytime that I contacted BG, I was treated in a friendly and respectful manner. Upon our arrival, we were delighted by this lovely home. The layout is perfect for a large family or multiple families vacationing together. The top floor bunk room is ideal for the kids - four bunks, each with full-size bed on the bottom and a twin on top. Each bed has a reading light and there is a large tv on the wall. There are two full baths just off the bunk room. Also, an amazing view of the ocean! The next story down has four well-appointed and beautifully decorated bedrooms. Three face the ocean and share a wide balcony with comfortable rocking chairs. The fourth bedroom has a smaller balcony with chairs and faces the road but is surrounded by beautiful greenery. There is also a sitting area with a tv, comfortable couch and chair, and small business center on this level. The next level down has two lovely bedrooms - one facing the ocean, leading to the main deck. All bedrooms have very comfortable beds, luxurious bed linens, and top quality bath linens. Many have walk-in showers. This floor also has a large laundry room, dining table that seats ten, and a very comfortable living room with a large screen tv, games, books, puzzles, etc, and a powder room. And the kitchen...WOW! Two large refrigerators, dishwasher, electric cooktop, loads of counter space and eight bar stools surrounding the prep area. There are plenty of utensils for cooking, an abundance of plates, glasses, silverware, coffee mugs, etc. Two coffee makers and a Keurig make morning coffee a breeze. The ice machine was fantastic - it made a ton of ice and we all were well-hydrated during the warm, sunny days. Also a huge pantry that easily stored all of our food and paper goods. The deck outside this level is astounding. There is a large table that seats eight, an outdoor kitchen with grill and sink, and a covered area with a tv. The deck furniture - and there is plenty of seating- is cushy and comfortable and perfect for relaxing. At street level, as you come down the crushed stone drive, you will go through a portico into a covered area with two parking spots. We had six vehicles and had ample parking. Also in this area is a charging station and a ping pong table. But you'll barely notice because right ahead of you is a gorgeous pool/hot tub with lovely tilework and two seats with bubblers to cool you off while sunning. So much fun!!! There is also a large tv and comfortable seating, another outdoor kitchen with an extra large grill, mini-fridge, and large trash receptacle. Beach toys and cornhole boards add to the fun. There is an incredible oversized swing with soft cushions that provided a great nap area. To top it off, a fire pit is just right for evening conversation and warming up after a night swim. Just up the steps is another covered area with rocking chairs and lounges, as well as a foot shower to rinse off the sand from the beach which is just steps away. We utilized the beach so much more than in past trips because it was so accessible. Beachside Getaway treated us to a lovely charcuterie tray and a generous gift bag. Beach towels, laundry soap, and dishwasher detergent were provided. I know this is an extensive review, but Beachside Getaway and 49 Dune exceeded our expectations and I wanted to convey how fantastic and wonderful this experience was for our family. Many thanks to the homeowner for sharing your exquisite home and to everyone at Beachside Getaway for making it a tremendous week in paradise for our family!

My CA friends and I stayed in this gorgeous home on the beach for my 50th birthday. From CA, we're familiar with beautiful beaches, but this place took our breath away. The view of the beach, ocean, sunsets, bikes/people up and down the sand were exceptional. The home is located on one of the best beaches where live music, ocean front bars/restaurant are a walk or e-bike away. The rooms are well decorated, large and quiet, each with their own private bathroom. If there's availability with this unit, book it! You and your friends/family will love the experience and beautiful amenities. And! The property managers are very nice and helpful. We were given in-home chef names, massage therapists, restaurants, boats, tours and e-bike recommendations. We're definitely coming back with kids and friends!

Sweet Carolina was a spacious place and perfect for our daughter’s 30th birthday to spend a few days with family and friends. The house had a large kitchen and plenty of space for everyone. Loved that all the bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms. The house could use a little TLC, it does show signs of wear from rentals and the salt air. Rental company was easy to work with and was very prompt in their response time.

Manager's Response

Great property and location. Everything you could hope for in a rental. If I bought the house tomorrow the only thing I'd add would be an are that had multiple TV's to watch multiple games at once. Will definitely go back if heading to Hilton Head.

This house was amazing, I can’t even begin to list all the amenities. The pool/hot tub area was so much fun for all the kids and having direct access to the beach made things so easy. The bedrooms are large and all have a private bathroom. This house is perfect for large family gatherings and made the stay so enjoyable.

4th year in a row we stayed with Beachside - always the best rentals and responsive!

Simply an epic property. Absolute luxury.

Sweet Carolina was the perfect house for our 4 generation family annual escape! The beach/ocean front property was beautiful and perfect for all ages: 1-84! The home had everything we needed- lots & lots of fun outdoor spaces surrounded the generously sized pool. There was plenty of undercover parking protected within a secure gate. Quinn called, TWICE just to check-in on us- we’ve not had that happen before. The bedrooms were generous in size and the kitchen was stocked with more than we could ever use. We enjoyed this house and location so much, we will book again for next year!

Amazing house with amenities like no other. Plenty of room for our large group indoors and out, and only steps (literally) from the beach. Each bedroom is roomy with a nice ensuite. The 2 masters were HUGE. The quality of this home is top of the ladder. When we had a need, Beachside Getaways was always on it - quick to respond and helpful. We can recommend this home as well as the rental company.

House was really nice. Would recommend it to anyone with large group.

Gorgeous house with a spectacular view of the ocean and the dolphins! We swam in the heated pool, grilled steaks, and made campfire s’mores. What a wonderful, relaxing week.

To start our family started taking extended family vacations 5 years ago and have stayed in many places including resorts, houses and hotels. We travel with 15-19 on any given vacation so finding the "perfect place" that makes everyone happy is nearly impossible. That said - this place fit the bill. From age 77-5 everyone in our group LOVED this vacation home. The huge layout made it possible for everyone to be inside, outside or anywhere they wanted to be with ample space. Every room having its own bathroom is a plus along with the huge kitchen and elevator making it possible for all to move easily amongst the house. Having access to the beach at any given moment makes the location top notch! While this is a gem we would like to keep secret, everyone should know luxury like this exists! After walking the beach and seeing numerous houses, it is clear that this house has it all and was clearly the best. Our family used and enjoyed the outdoor covered patio with the television - the fire pit - the sunning patio near the beach - the lights at night at the pool - hot tub and deck instead of sand walking out to the beach. In a nut shell we our already planning our trip next year and we have never done a repeat trip in 5 years - we have found our favorite place!

We came down to escape the cold in the north. Huge place with an unbeatable view!

This house is simply amazing from top to bottom. It is perfectly located on Dune Road in North Forest Beach, and the sunrises and the sunsets are incredible. The house is clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The layout of the house is really great--we had 14 people and never felt as though we were stepping on each other. There are multiple outside spaces with ample furniture for relaxing and taking in the views. The folks at Beachside Getaway were very helpful and accommodating. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! We will be back!

We've been to this house twice now and the layout inside and out is perfect for our large group. We actually had some maintenance (outside TV & Spa pump), in both cases the team at Beachside Getaway's promptly took care of these items and communicated very well. Our group will be going back!

This house was just amazing. Beautiful views, amazing decor, and a wonderful kitchen for hosting and cooking large meals. My family had a lovely time there and will definitely be back!

Sweet Carolina was the perfect beach vacation oceanfront home. Beautifully decorated and well equipped for us to enjoy our week with friends. We enjoyed every part of the property from grilling on the outside kitchen, relaxing under the tiki hut, lounging in the pool, epic ping pong tournaments and gathering around the fire pit at night. This was a vacation we enjoyed tremendously and the memories will last a lifetime. We hope to return to Sweet Carolina again and again! I would highly recommend this magnificent home to anyone with out hesitation!

We had 15 people aging from 1-66 years old. The house is setup perfect for a large group. The pool is sheltered from the wind (we had a lot of wind) and the beach patio is awesome. The multiple outside areas made it easy for our group to spread out and enjoy our vacation. The house was very spacious and beautiful. Walking distance to various shopping, bike paths and entertainment was a plus. Watching the dolphins so close to shore daily was cool for everyone. We will be going back to 49 Dune Lane!
