June 2021 Anniversary Trip

This was my 5th trip to Hilton Head and by far the best property we've stayed in. Fully updated, close to the ocean, and the view from the patio/deck is unmatched; all you can see is the dunes and the ocean. We'll be looking to stay here next time we come back!

Outstanding Getwaway

We highly recommend this beautiful place for anyone seeking a private escape to a rustic, but well equipped cabin with breathtaking views. Our expectations were exceeded in all areas, and we will forever cherish the two days we spent there. The cabin is an amazing work of art and knowing the beams were present at Gettysburg made it all the more special to me, as I am a PA resident and study Civil War history. Thanks for allowing us to share your treasure.

Spectacular Oasis

This was the perfect elixir during an otherwise stressful time. We needed to get away and the cabin did not disappoint. The setting is spectacular - the outdoor copper bathtub creates a feeling of peace and serenity like no other. The view from the tub and the rest of the deck spans for miles across the blue ridge mountains, offering awesome sunsets and a couple of terrific lightning storms. The cabin is comfortable and well outfitted, close to shopping, restaurants and many hiking trails. We'll be back!

Great Location, not the cleanest unit

There was a smell of urine in the unit as well as not much space to store items for the week in the kitchen. The spare closet was also filled messily with beach items and no space for clothes. The unit was in a great location the beach and pool. It was great to be able to walkout too. Just wish the linens and things felt cleaner.

October Fun

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a good experience. The property was great with perfect access to the beach. The unit needs new blinds on the master bedroom and the carpets need cleaning. Also, we were not notified that the dishwasher was being replaced and the repairman walked into the condo unannounced.

Incredible

This is our third time visiting Sapphire Heaven. Every visit we are blown away with how serene the cabin and its surroundings are. We've grilled out, cooked inside and visited local restaurants during our visits. We have never needed something while staying at this cabin. The outdoor shower and tub are perfect accessories to the wonderful landscape and a great way to unwind. Since our last visit the owner added a fire pit area but unfortunately it was too windy for us to use. This property is truly a treasure and a bargain for the experience you'll receive! Thank you John for sharing it with us, we always look forward to returning.

Magical, romantic, and private.

The best word to describe this property is “magical”! The pictures don’t do it justice—the serenity, the view, and the privacy are next level amazing. Everything about this place screams “romance”—it is an amazing escape. We were able to hike around the trails on and off the property and in the community and met NO ONE. It was absolutely perfect for these difficult times. We felt so very safe! The hike to the waterfall was more of an obstacle course than a trail hike, which we absolutely loved! Our two medium sized dogs were able to accompany us to the waterfall, only needing a little assistance. If they were old, tiny, or arthritic, we would probably not have been able to bring them along. However, it was absolutely BREATH TAKING—completely worth the exertion to see! 10/10–look no further for your romantic escape to serenity!

Absolutely beautiful piece of paradise

There truly aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this place is. The beautiful cabin and it’s private gorgeous setting is breathtaking. The craftsmanship in each detail and the thoughtfulness displayed throughout the cabin inside and out are truly a work of art. The rustic atmosphere was so peaceful. The owners were very kind and easy to communicate with. All instructions for accessing the cabin, property and various (countless) features were thoroughly explained and easy to follow. The property was so private and secluded it was very easy to get swept up in relaxing and escaping. The private waterfall below the cabin is fun to get to and so peaceful. The views from the outside tub/shower, back and side porch, master bedroom, living room, overlook and fire pit are beautiful and we couldn’t get enough. The metal roof during the rain storms sounded like relaxation music. There was so much to experience at just the cabin you never have to leave, but there are some great things to see and do close by also (several waterfall hikes, restaurants, stores, etc). Everything was honestly more than we could have dreamed and we loved every second. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible place and we look forward to future visits!

Beach Vacation

We really enjoyed the condo and the location. The decor in the condo was beautiful , beachy and cozy. However, during arrival at Palmetto Dunes, the welcome email you sent to me did not indicate stopping at the security office to obtain our gate pass. Additionally, we were disappointed that the TV service did not include live TV such as Dish, Direct-tv or cable. We only had access to HULU and no regular live network television. It would have been nice of you to inform us of the TV service in your welcome email. I called Hilton Head Rentals on Monday (7/12) and your office was closed. I send an email about the TV issue through VRBO and did not receive any response during our stay. I called the office again on Tues (7/13) and got no answer. I would recommend that you inform future guests of the limited TV service and to pick up their pass at the security office prior to entering the gate to Captain's Walk Condos.
