8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
This is an outstanding property, and it is the second time we have stayed here. That said, there are many little things that were disappointing and reflect a lack of attention to detail. Dryer on main level not working due to door, which meant we had to do laundry upstairs. Lights in main kitchen weren't working until maintenance person came out. Some other lights not working. Not enough shampoo and conditioner and soap for such a large house. Dishwasher doesn't clean well and also is hard to close. Room with twin beds overlooking pool very warm. Some doors don't function properly. And other things I'm forgetting. Each of these are relatively minor, but together they add up to a significant amount of frustration.

Great location and setup for multiple family stay. Amenities were exactly as shown and home was perfect.
5.0 / 10.0·Jun 2020
We stayed for a week in June 2020 at 17 Firethorn in the S Forest Beach area of Hilton Head. This house is everything you could want and then some. We had 5 of our family in the house and at times you could disappear without interference from others, enjoying the first class solitude to relax. The week was slightly chilly for mid-June; however the pool area came complete with a gas fire trough which blazed warm vibes. Impeccably appointed with everything you need, including in suite saunas in the two master bedrooms, this place was EXACTLY what we wanted! Only a short 2 minute walk the the private S Forest Beach and the final two days of our stay saw temps in the mid 80’s and brilliant sunshine. Those who stayed behind in the house (ahem....moi) enjoyed a quiet day to enjoy a good book in the 72 degrees, low humidity A/C. Pure heaven for me! Beachside Getaways promptly answers my calls when I couldn’t get the stereo system synched to my cell phone but after that Pandora streamed MY songs all day. Also very cool was controlling the pool from my cell phone with the app provided. Waterfall, lighting, deck jets, and even heater controls all at my fingertips.Subzero fridge had plenty of room for all our libations and the abundant ceiling fans circulated all the cool, dry air keeping everyone comfortable. No one over exerted themselves...even getting the luggage up to the third floor was easy with the in house elevator! What were the drawbacks? Can’t think of anything. My wife the chef would have preferred gas to electric ranges but they still cooked everything just fine. Bedrooms tended to let in a lot of early morning light so we were mostly up early getting a head start on the day. But different strokes for different folks. You can’t go wrong here. The place is all that and more. Living large for a week Is definitely within your reach. What are you waiting for?
