We had a wonderful week with our family of 7 in Sea Pines at 12 Surf Scoter. The kitchen was fully stocked with more than most. Bedrooms were nice size and our beds were very comfortable. We loved the screened in porch! The location is great and steps from the beach and also the bike path. The only recommendations I have is it would have been great to have an additional refrigerator on the property and access to the elevator would have been so good for my oxygen dependent father. It could use a good deep clean, but, I know that Covid and the nationwide lack of work staff effects this. We have stayed in Florida a couple times this year, so I half expected that would be the case. We unexpectedly had to check out a day early and the lady I spoke with when doing that was so very nice.
I would definitely stay here again.

House was very comfortable, especially the screened in porch. The only thing I would change would be a more convienent access to the pool area. We called about a shortage of cups and that afternoon a lady brought us 8 brand new mugs.

We have stayed at this property six times, the first time in 1995. The most recent in August 2016. We have stayed elsewhere in Seapines, but find 12 Surf Scoter fits our needs best.
Located near the beach and away from the busy Harbour Town traffic it is an ideal property to enjoy the tranquility of the area. It is an easy walk to the beach (marker 26) and bike ride to South Beach. The property itself is nicely appointed with a large living area on the second floor. Two bedrooms up and two down. A large screened porch on the second floor is ideal for sitting and enjoying the outdoors.
The pool and whirlpool were installed about two years ago and are one of the nicest pools in the area. Large enough for six adults and four children. The pool is located on the opposite side of the house from the entrance.
We will return to this property.

Loved this house, 4 couples each with our own bedroom and bathroom, walking distance to beach, perfect weather, grocery store very close, and shopping, pool and hot tub what more do you need? Home was clean and well kept. Could use instructions for hot tub, and air conditioning.

We loved how close the house was to the beach, and the pool and spa were fabulous! The bedrooms were just right for us and the kitchen was pretty well stocked with cooking necessities. Overall a great house!

We rented this home in August 2018, and overall we had a good experience. Everything worked, and we had everything we needed. Our only complaints were the overall layout of the home, which we understand isn't anyone's fault. IT just didn't work well with 2 young children. Additionally, cleanliness of the home was not that great either. The home needs some renovation, and we found lots of bugs and roaches. The best part of this home was the screened in porch. The furnishings are pretty good overall as well.
We travelled with our 2 young children, and grandparents, and so the pool access was not the best either. There was no locked gate to protect children from getting we had to keep a real close eye on them as well.

Lovely, well-located house with comfortable beds.

The house was perfect for our family. It was a very short and convenient walk to the beach. The house was clean and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. We especially enjoyed the pool , very clean and the deck around the pool was very nice.Overall this was a great house and location. We will rent again.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home. The pool and spa were beautiful and our kids had so much fun swimming in the afternoons. We spent our mornings at the beach which is so convenient literally a 2 minute walk. We normally enjoy going to the beach club but we preferred just being in our own little stretch of beach where we had chairs and umbrellas set up by the lifeguards. We also rented bikes through Sea Turtle Getaways (which is a must in Hilton Head) as well as bins of toys for the kids which were a hit. My only suggestion would be to change the blinds in the downstairs bedrooms to a type which can allow some light in and also privacy. It felt a little dungeon like in the downstairs bedrooms, but other than that it was a wonderful home that we’d definitely be interested in staying at again.

The rental property was very clean and comfortable. It was the perfect size for the eight of us. The pool and spa were more than adequate and the gas grill was amazing- THANK YOU NEIL!

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed the house, pool, and grill! Come back and see us again soon! :)

Large home easily accommodating 8 adults, easy walking distance to beach and great location in Sea Pines close to Hilton Head. Recommend bike rental to take advantage of the terrific bike paths. One issue was lower level bedrooms had musty smell and moths. Property management company did respond to spray but moths were present all week. Fees for heating pool and hot tub exhoberent.

Overall the property was great. The pool was very nice. Everything worked well. The kitchen lacked order but was well supplied. Ac was excellent. Lower level master could have used a dehumidifier. Well suited for six adults and small children.

The six of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is large enough to spread out and have privacy and the also provided lots of space to come together. We cooked and used the grill a few nights and found the kitchen to be adequately stocked for our needs. Great location for accessing the beach and hitting the bike trails.
We would come back and recommend to our friends.

everything went well except for the party in the area.
This is a popular property that has been used nonstop, but it needs a deep cleaning. it appears no one has even dusted for 6 months.
- Larry F. from Keswick, Posted: 08/01/2016
We had a wonderful stay. The house is very well located for beach and activities. We found the home comfortable for 3 couples with plenty of space and en-suite bathrooms. The pool size and deck seating make it highly usable. We will definitely return.

Great experience! We love Hilton Head and we love this home. Thank you to Seat Turtle Getaways as well for always being so accommodating to us!
- Elizabeth H. from Dublin, Posted: 07/17/2017
We had a wonderful time. Every problem we had was solved quickly. The house was put together somewhat strangely, in that you couldn't get to the pool from the back of the house???? Also, there apparently was no insulation between the floors. Just walking upstairs sounded like someone was pounding on the floor. The location was great and so were the Sea Turtle staff.

Good location. Needs a garbage disposal in the kitchen.

We stayed at 12 Surf Scoter on our most recent visit to Hilton Head. We always choose a house in Sea Pines that is near the beach. We have 3 families (total of 10 with 4 kids) so we enjoy being in Sea Pines, having a pool at the house and proximity to the beach. This is a 4 br, so we put all the kids in one room.
This house worked very well for us. The pool area was especially nice with waterfalls in the pool and a spa attached. We had the pool heated to be safe and it was comfortable all week.
The screened in porch was also a great hit. We spent most of our time there when at the house and the furniture was very nice and there was plenty of room for everyone.
No complaints about the house. It seemed to be well taken care of. We did have a problem with the ice maker and had to buy ice for the week ,but the rental company reimbursed us for that.
We did have to walk down the street to get to the beach path (we're used to being a bit closer), but from there it was a short walk to the beach.
Location is good for biking, except you do have to cross the main road when coming out to get on the bike trail across the street. Nice rides to Salty Dog, Harbour Town, Lawton Stables from here.
All in all we were pleased with 12 Surf Scoter.

There were few reviews available for this house so I though I would drop a note. We had 5 adults, three kids ages 5 and under all stay very comfortably. Bedrooms were very nicely done. Large TV in living area as well as all bedrooms. Bathrooms all modern appearing, nice tile work. Kitchen was good size, loved the washer/dryer. Spent most of our time at the pool, teaching kids to swim. We all had a good time. There are toys to play with and there were two beach chairs available. You can buy more locally or rent if you like. Outdoor shower at side of house with additional entrance. 5 min walk to the beach, most of the time walked barefoot. Beach was nice, very warm water in August. Pool has shade in AM which was nice, warmer in the afternoon. One table available with tent for shade. We brought another cheap umbrella for second table and needed this to keep the kids in the shade.
Two blocks from a nice bike path, 5 min.
5 to 10 min from harris teeter or Publix
Bring some beach towels/pool towels and apple/fruit peeler
--would definately not heat the spa in the summer. It overflows into the pool and you will cook
Cons:
Need to place a password on the wifi (unwise to check email with open connection).

Enjoyed our stay.
House was clean.
- Ronald H. from Rome, Posted: 08/01/2023
This rental was sufficient for our stay. The location of the home was really good. About a 2 mile bike ride to Harbor Town and a 1 mile bike ride to South Beach. We were a short walk to the beach, even short enough to carry chairs and surf boards. Overall the home was in good condition. The living room and porch furniture was new and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch and enjoyed that in the evenings and when the rain occasionally blew through in the afternoons. The kitchen was well equipped, save for needing some tupperware containers to store leftovers. The grill worked well also. I notified the rental manager that the the rental is in need of new pillows on all the beds. They did supply new ones for the master, which were much appreciated. The overall layout of the home is a little strange, and there is only one king bed, not two as the listing stated when we booked it. Overall I would recommend the home.

We had a wonderful family vacation in Sea Pines!
The house was clean and met all our needs for the week.
Our granddaughter loved the pool with the waterfalls and steps.
Also the beach was so close and easily within walking distance.
The management was very kind to retrieve and ship some forgotten items to us after we were home! Thank you so much!
Great vacation rental!
