Book now for fabulous Summer and Fall vacations.

Unwind at Starfish Cottage, a beautifully remodeled, light and bright vacation home in one of the best locations in Sea Pines Plantation! This very private single family home is filled with every amenity to make it a place you can call 'home' for your vacation. Featuring a private pool and spa, decorated in an upscale “beach” decor with new porcelain tile floors, this home is a beach-lovers paradise. Enter the cottage into a large open living room where a wall of French doors extends all the way across the back, opening to a large, beautifully furnished deck with a gorgeous pool and spa, and with wooded and lagoon views. The sound of the pool’s waterfall, the lushness of the giant moss-bearded trees and the native shrubbery, and the sheer beauty of the Sea Pines area create an environment so soothing that your day-to-day cares will vanish. Sit back and relax! Be sure and check out the owner's website - see link below or just Google 'Starfish Cottage Hilton Head'.

Enjoy the upgraded eat-in kitchen with classic tumbled marble tile countertops. The kitchen features a large side-by-side refrigerator with through-the-door ice and water dispenser and is well stocked with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, and everything you need to cook and dine at home. Enjoy the large deck and pool area with a new gas grill for your outdoor dining pleasure. The private pool and/or spa can be heated upon request ($250 extra) from April to November.

The master bedroom and queen guest bedroom each have a private access to the beautiful pool area, where you can enjoy the lagoon view and completely private back yard, pool and spa. The open floor plan offers everything you want for a family vacation or a romantic get-away. This vacation home is one of the few that you will find on Hilton Head with an eat-in kitchen as well as a separate dining room. The living room boasts a wall of built-ins where you can pick out a great book to read inside or out by the pool. You won't have to miss your favorite TV shows or sports events because there is a 47' LCD, wide screen HDTV and DVD player in the living room. There are also televisions in each of the three bedrooms with full cable access. You can access the internet anywhere in the home or poolside via a wireless broadband signal. We even offer a CD/iPod player, so bring your iPod or your favorite CDs and enjoy your music.

All three bedrooms are spacious with quality bedding. Luxury linens are provided. Both the master bedroom with king bed and the second bedroom with a queen bed have their own private bathrooms. Including the spacious third bedroom with two twin beds, the house easily accommodates six to eight guests. We have found that most pull-out sofas are so uncomfortable that we provide a queen-sized elevated air bed to accommodate extra sleeping needs.

You won't find a more inviting, light and airy home on Hilton Head Island ... we looked a long time to find the perfect vacation house, and we believe that Starfish Cottage is it! Come and relax at our newly remodeled home...a wonderful piece of paradise that we welcome you to enjoy.

Activities

At your doorstep are an array of activities, including world-renowned golfing and tennis as well as biking, hiking, fishing, and lazy days at the beach. Tennis players can use the FREE Greenwood Forest court or may opt for one of Sea Pines’ nationally-ranked tennis clubs with lighted clay courts. Guests are welcome at the clubs. World-class golf within Sea Pines awaits you, with the beautiful Ocean course, the Pete Dye-designed Heron course, and the magnificent Harbour Town Links clubhouses all within a two-minute drive from the house. You can also enjoy dozens of other courses on Hilton Head Island.

The cottage's location within Sea Pines Plantation allows you to easily walk to shops, ride your bike along the many miles of bike paths or to the Sea Pines Private Beach Club (a 12-minute bike ride) or to many of Sea Pines’ other beach access points (nearest one is a 10-minute bike ride). The house is just a fifteen-minute walk to Harbour Town, one of the most popular areas in all of Hilton Head Island. Just down the street from the house are the FREE Greenwood Forest neighborhood amenities - playground, swimming pool (great for swimming laps), basketball court and tennis court. In the house you'll find beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and a cooler for your convenience. You can drive all this equipment to the Sea Pines Beach Club in about two minutes, where you can enjoy the beautiful beach, food and bar service with an ocean view, showers, restrooms, a beach store, and seasonal activities for children. The beach is attended by lifeguards during the summer season. If you prefer a more remote beach experience you can bike or walk to any of dozens of beach access points along Sea Pines’ 5 miles of beach.

History buffs will find much to see and do on or near Hilton Head, which is located in an area steeped in Southern culture and tradition. St. Helena Island, home to the unique Gullah people, is an easy day trip by car, as are Savannah, Charleston and Beaufort, all prominent Civil War towns. 'The Spirit of Harbour Town' tour boat conducts daily round trips (with a four-hour tour layover) to Savannah during the summer season.

About The Owner

We have been coming to Hilton Head for years, enjoying the beach, the bike trails, the golf courses, restaurants, ... etc. After making the decision to buy on the island we began a long search which culminated in 2008 with the purchase of a wonderful vacation house in Sea Pines. In February of 2009 we added a pool and spa, and the house became a perfect place to spend our vacation time. We have named it Starfish Cottage, and we hope you make it your favorite vacation home as well.

The Owner purchased this house in 2008
Why The Owner chose Sea Pines

Starfish Cottage is on Hilton Head Island.

It's in Sea Pines Plantation.

Do we really have to explain more?

What makes this house unique

This house would be a great vacation home even if it were not so well located. Relaxing inside the beautiful living room or out poolside, listening to the waterfall and enjoying the lush view, what more could you want. We also love that we can easily walk or bike to restaurants, shops and the beach.

Great Vacation

We had a fantastic time during our stay at the Starfish Cottage. Ron and Maggie were very organized and had plenty of information available for us about the home itself and Sea Pines Resort. We enjoyed time in the heated pool everyday, especially our 2 yr old! Very family friendly home, plenty of space. Highly recommend the bike rental for the week from one of the local places. They will drop them off and pick them up from the house when you request. The house is in a centralized location for easy access via the bike trails to South beach (Salty Dog), Harbortown playground, shops & restaurants, and also the Sea Pines Nature Preserve. You could also easily bike to the beach club but we ended up driving due to all the "kiddie gear" we were lugging along with us. Definitely did not want to leave at the end of the week!

A Lovely Home

5 of 5
Submitted: April 13, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We spent a wonderful weekend in Sea Pines.

Ron and Maggie were delightful to work with - including answering countless emails. The payment process and access to the house were seamless.

The home is just as advertised. The master bedroom (and full bath) and guest bedroom (twin beds)/hallway bathroom (full bath) are on one side of the house. Another bedroom (queen bed/half bath) is on the other side of the house. For two couples, this was ideal. We each had privacy and a separate entrance to the patio with pool.

We had delightful weather - so we made maximum use of the patio. We drank our coffee there in the morning and our wine in the evening. The common areas (kitchen, dining room, living room) were ideal.

Sea Pines is an excellent area - close to Harbor Town, shopping, restaurants and golf. I would highly recommend this part of the island and Starfish cottage.

The Starfish Cottage was a perfect stay for our spring break vacation. We enjoyed all of the amenities the house had to offer, especially the pool and hot tub. The weather wasn't the warmest (65-70 degrees and rainy at times) but the pool was a refreshing 80 degrees that we couldn't get our kids out of!! This was our first visit to Hilton Head and it couldn't have been more enjoyable. Ron and Maggie are extremely professional and easy to work with. The house offered us everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The house is centrally located, just a short bike ride to any location in Sea Pines. We biked everywhere we went, the maps provided made it easy to find our way around the island. We have decided that we will definitly be returing to the Starfish Cottage and can't wait to get back. Thanks Ron and Maggie for making our stay so welcoming.

Cozy and beautifully decorated cottage with lovely pool and spa. This home is clean and spacious just as shown in the pictures. Greenwood Forest is a great location close to Sea Pines Center, Harbor Town and the beach. The owners are very helpful and easy to work with. We have stayed here twice and have thoroughly enjoyed both visits. We rediscovered Truffles Restaurant this trip and ate there 4 times, enjoying every meal.

Our family had a lovely time in Sea Pines at the Starfish Cottage over the holidays. We have stayed in many properties in Sea Pines over the years and found Stafish to be among the most comfortable and welcoming places to spend some time. We hope to return! Thanks
