5A Hickory Lane

The "Shore thing" is one of the top properties we have stayed in on Hilton Head! The layout with TV rooms, dining table and kitchen in all one open area fit our group perfectly. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms very clean! The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking your own meals! The hot tub looked brand new and got a lot of use without having to heat the pool. The house comes with a full size corn hole set, 4 new beach cruisers, beach chairs and wagons. Loved this house and will stay here again!!

5A Hickory Lane was a great house for our big group (kids ages 2-17 plus parents and grandparents) to gather recently and ride out Tropical Storm Debby. The house is exceptionally comfortable and functional with every amenity provided. The downstairs fridge came in handy for storing a 1/4 sheet birthday cake, and the beach wagons were great for hauling chairs, toys, etc. At least a dozen beach towels were provided so we never had to use the ones we brought. Beach access through the short path right across South Forest Beach was tricky after the storm came through, with huge puddles across the path - not surprising after 10 inches of rain. There is a public beach access at Alder Lane just a half mile up the road (via the bike path or you can drive and park nearby) that is asphalt with a Mobi beach mat to get you all the way to the beach. The bikes were in good shape but note they do not have baskets or water bottle holders, so plan to bring a CamelBak or backpack. Fantastic property and rental experience! We would definitely return.

Overall, a really nice house - clean, spacious, good amenities and a relatively short walk to the ocean (flat 5 minute walk). Four stars. Kitchen and dining area was spacious, with plenty of seating and room for our 12 person group. Bathrooms were all clean and updated with - with 5 showers it made getting ready for evening dinner easy with a big group. Overall, really nice home in a good quiet/private area. We would come back. Couple of minor things we would offer for consideration that would take this to a five star knock out rating: 1). Bedrooms: There was room in the bunk bedroom to get an additional single bed, would have avoided one child from sleeping on the pull out in the rec room. Also, Would love to see the bedroom with two full beds be two queens (there is room) - just a little tight for two teens on a full. 2). We struggled outside with a bit of a fly problem. No clear garbage source - management gave us citronella candles to help but was not able to do other treatments. 3). Finally, a suggestion for the bottom floor: unfortunate to have to pay extra for hot tub and fire pit when spending a significant amount on peak week pricing. Would rather see those replaced with a wood burning pit (no charge for gas) and put a bar area where the hot tub is to have more entertaining space by the pool/patio. If you did that, could open up the bottom area and remove the screen for better TV viewing vs the current setup which is a bit separated.

5A Hickory Lane was complete from a well stocked kitchen of all the utensils you can imagine to bedrooms that were roomy and very comfortable, bathrooms in every bedroom and a beautiful swimming pool! The short walk to the beach was a real hit with the teenagers. The only complaint was the grill was difficult to operate. Needed cleaned and better instructions of operation. We had a wonderful family time together in this spacious home.

We took a large group (13 total including multiple ages of kids and adults) and all had a wonderful time. The property was extremely clean, well maintained, and very well set up. The outdoor area is fantastic and a great way for the family to gather and spend time together. The beach was extremely easy to get to (access is directly across the street), and away from the busier and more crowded area around Coligny Plaza. Everything was simple, well communicated, and made for a fantastic trip. It’s hard for me to believe that any family wouldn’t enjoy this house

Enjoyed the home and area it was located. A great vacation.

Our family had an amazing vacation staying 5A Hickory . The interior layout of the house so comfortable and well thought out for families to spread out and relax with some elbow room . The back yard is wonderful to kick back and relax by the pool or have coffee in the morning with all the birds singing. Location is great with just a short walk to the beach . Overall we couldn’t have been happier with this house as an opportunity to spend a week at on our family vacation!

The house, location, and amenities were perfect for our 3 families (6 adults and 6 kids). Pool temp was great. Beach was incredible (including location). 6 kids ages 6-14 never got bored. Bikes were nice bonus.

I felt like one of the "Rich and Famous" staying at this beautiful home! It had everything a visitor could want and more! First of all, the entire home is gorgeous! Very spacious and the furnishings and décor were lovely and tasteful. It was a great place to have our children and grandchildren and friends visit, since they were able to stay on the second floor which had three huge, gorgeous bedrooms and baths plus an amazing Livingroom area in the middle. We all had our own private space whenever we wanted it! The furniture and beds were all very comfortable, as well. The kitchen was amazingly stocked! It had every cookware, tableware, appliance and utensil that you could imagine...even a double oven! There were two huge dining tables and plenty of seating, as well as a large island in the kitchen. This provided plenty of room for large groups to eat, play games (many provided) and do puzzles (provided, as well.) The elevator was a great plus for us two 70+ yr old renters, too! My favorite room was the screened in porch overlooking the patio/pool area. We spent many hours out there on the couch sipping coffee (or wine!) and reading, relaxing or playing games at the table. The outside was wonderful, as well. It was very secluded at the end of the cul-de-sac and the grounds were amazing. We didn't get to use the beautiful pool, since it was February, but really enjoyed the Hot Tub and many fun lawn games (that they provided). The pools and grounds were frequently attended, too, while we were there so they were always in tip-top shape. We enjoyed the lovely, short walk to the beach and beach wagons and any chairs or beach toys that we needed were provided by the owner. If it wasn't beach weather, the first level area also provided many hours of fun ping pong games, too. We love the location! Private, beautiful, short walk to a very quiet beach area or a short walk or bike ride to Coligny Beach and all of the restaurants, shops and bars that surround that area. We spent a lot of time at the nearby Celebration Park, which is a must see if you have children in your party. So, obviously, we hated to leave and can't wait to go back!

Meticulously clean and well appointed. We had a wonderful week. There were 9 of us and it never felt crowded. Can't wait to go back.

Cassandra M Sunday, February 12, 2023

We enjoyed our stay at this house with our group of 12 (3 families). It was a bit farther away from the beach than we'd expected, and you need to cross a busy road, but was about 6-7 minutes walk, so not bad. The pool wasn't used, but looked very nice. We loved having the free standing jacuzzi hot tub! Overall it's a beautiful place and we enjoyed our visit.

Great house and location. Grill and elevator weren’t working but other than that, a perfect stay!! Comfortable space for 18 adults. Easy walk to the beach. Huge gathering area with open kitchen and living room. Pool area is great, too.I wish they had cleaned the pool midweek like some places do. Would definitely rent again!

Michele A.

The house is amazing. This is our second time staying here. The property management is OK. The hot tub wasn't cleaned upon arrival and took a few days to get sorted out. We also paid extra for the gas fireplace and they forgot to leave the key for it or give instructions for that or the back gate. Otherwise it is the perfect house.

Our stay was great. We had an issue with the hot tub, but it was taken care of quickly. Great property. Everyone had a great time.

Steve M.

This home was absolutely amazing! It was spacious and had a great layout. Everyone had their own bathroom and the kids thought the bunk room was incredible! Very short walk to the beach. Pool and hot tub were fun to use as well.

Amanda S.

We loved our time with two other families at Hickory 5A. It’s a well done home with great space and amenities. Pool was great. Short walk to huge beach. Kitchen is great. Not a lot in the way of extra seasonings and pantry items but what they do have is good quality and enough for the 14 of us. We would love to come back.

Amy C.

The house was simply beautiful and exceptionally clean! We had 9 adults and 3 children with plenty of space for everyone. The pool and recreation areas were great! Our walk to the beach was very easy and took about 10 minutes. We had one issue when we arrived with the freezer not working properly and it was repaired within one hour!!! The whole experience was great! We highly recommend this great property and the management company was exceptional too!

Kathy M.

We are very pleased to hear about your most recent visit to Hilton Head and greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided! This particular property is perfect, especially for families with kids, as you mentioned the very convenient recreation area. It is also nice to hear that the freezer issue was quickly resolved as we try to be as prompt as possible when any issues occur. We hope you plan to visit the island again soon as we would be more than happy to assist with any future rental needs you may have!
