About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Great for Large Groups, Private, Big Backyard Pool, Heart of Sea Pines Resort.

Nestled in the heart of sea pines, hoot owl cottage is a short walk or bike ride from the beach, harbour town, and the shops and restaurants of sea pines center. This recently remodeled and professionally decorated home boasts 4 large bedrooms and 3 baths, a spacious kitchen and family room, and a huge living room with a large flat screen tv. In addition, each bedroom has its own tv. The family and living rooms have large windows looking out on a spacious deck surrounding one of the largest private swimming pools in sea pines. Beyond the deck is a tranquil view of the low country, with sprawling live oaks and pines creating a cathedral-like natural canopy.

The fully-equipped kitchen has a Corian countertop and sitting area, a pub style table with stools, and a large dining table, so there’s room for everyone at mealtime. The adjacent family room has two love seats and a gas fireplace to relax after dinner or enjoy morning coffee. The living room has a second gas fireplace and a large sectional sofa with plenty of seating for all.

The master bedroom is equipped with a king bed, and has a large walk-in closet and private bath. The second and third bedrooms have one or two queen beds respectively, while the fourth bedroom doubles as a den with bunk beds and a comfortable convertible sofa.

The spacious deck surrounds a swimming pool big enough for a family reunion. A large outdoor gas grille is provided for your convenience.

While we urge our guests to leave all of their cares behind while staying at hoot owl cottage, we know that it’s not always practical, so in addition to cable tv the cottage is equipped with high-speed internet and wifi, as well as telephone with free domestic nationwide calling.

great house for two families with children
We loved this house! There were two families, with five children ages 7-11. The location to beach & Harbor Town was a perfect bike ride. House was clean and VERY spacious with big bedrooms. We loved the big kitchen table. It was very comfortable for all. Pool was a good size & didn’t need to be heated for our mid-June stay. Impressed by how well organize and labeled things were. Would happily stay again!

The Wedding
The property was located in an excellent place for a wedding reception at Sea Pines Country Club. We were a group of family and friends (9 people). The house had plenty of square footage to allow everyone to spread out and be comfortable. The back deck was a great place to gather and the teenagers braved the colder pool water for a swim. Would have been extra nice if there had been a couple of bikes to use. I did not appreciate being charged to get in and get the entrance pass. Plus we were 3 cars and only one pass. It seems to me that entering Sea Pines Resort should be included in the cost of the rental.

Perfect Location
The house was beautiful and location fantastic! We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the home. Definitely is just a rental that is in need of a facelift! Very dated. Kitchen only had minimum cooking items. One dish towel, two beach towels , light bulbs out. Superficially looked clean but once you opened cabinets, closets, they were dirty. Closet light in bunk room kept flickering. Pull out couch definitely not for adults. Very uncomfortable and dirty. Comforters on beds with stains. House and pool have great bones but at this price of rental, expected much more! Property manager aware of all the above and communicated back to us promptly, but this property is not a quick fix in preparing for others. Again, we thoroughly enjoyed Hilton head, location and the pool. Property Just needs some attention.

We had a better stay then anticipated!
We had a 13 hour drive to arrive at the property. We were absolutely blown away by the accommodations! The exclusive setting, the spaciousness of the rooms, the cleanliness of the place, the fantastic swimming pool and deck! There were 11 of us the majority being late - teenagers. Everyone had adequate space and comfort. There were TVs throughout. The younger teens had brought their gaming stations, so they hooked up to them. As parents enjoyed our various spaces to get away from the crowd. We enjoyed the Roku and the internet. Washer and dryer were excellent! And a necessity! As was the dishwasher and full kitchen. The location was ideal! Exclusive neighborhood, with nearness to so many activities. We went into Savannah 2 days to look around there and the drive wasn't that far. Would highly recommend this location! Thoroughly enjoyed our time!

Thanksgiving Holiday
Loved the property! We had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. It is in a great location. You are a quick bike ride away from the beach, Lawton Stables, Salty Dog and Harbor Town. We started our next generation of Gregg Russell fans with our 2 grand children! The management company was extremely responsive...Margot was very helpful. Everyone in the family gave a thumbs-up and look forward to another stay at 21 Willow Oak.

My group of six adults loved our time here. The house was set up great and the owner had thought of a lot of nice things, like labeling the light switches. That was so nice when we arrive in the dark. The pool was so lovely and made the stay! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

The space worked well for us and the location was perfect. Our main issue was with a musty smell that the house had all week. We burned candles but it only solved the problem temporarily. Every time we would leave and come back it was obvious again.

Felt like home
We had a four generation group with us and were hoping that this week would make some amazing memories. We went the extra mile with this home because we loved the idea of having our own private pool. We were not at all disappointed!! This home is spacious, with a table to seat us all as well as the conversation area in the kitchen - that was my favorite place to drink coffee and catch up with everyone in the mornings. The pool is wonderful!!!! And in the evening they have beautiful lighting strung along the rails giving it a fun feel and nice glow. The only thing I would add would be a rail at the steps for elderly people as my mother in law wouldn’t get in. We took bike rides every evening - the Browns took care of having them dropped off for us- which was so convenient - we rode to harbor town and watched the sunset and listened to live music in the evenings. The house held all of us and felt like home. We didn’t have any issues with the kitchen appliances or the grill and we used them all. (I had read some reviews prior to the visit and was a little apprehensive). Everything we needed was right there. The only thing that is an inconvenience- and it has zero to do with this property- is the parking at the beach. Only the first 50 people are allowed to park in the lot - and you aren’t allowed to drop off anything - you must take a trolley in. So if you plan to bring umbrellas or canopies or bikes (children) you can not. This also was an inconvenience for my mother in law as she can not walk a lot and taking steps on a trolley then walking to the beach didn’t work for her. Even if there is open parking in the lot - if you weren’t the first 50 and didn’t book directly through sea pines you may not park or drop off there. Otherwise G R E A T week and The Browns are great Hosts. We are Thankful the hospitality and easy directions they provide throughout the trip. I would definitely stay here again!
