9 Guscio Way | North Forest Beach

Lots of rental properties look better in pictures than they do in real life, but this was the exception. We were even more impressed by the size of the house, the quality of the amenities, the pool and the beach access. The beach was fantastic. A very residential area so low crowds and it was large and flat, very easy to run and bike on. Parking was easy with room for 6 cars. The concierge service was one of the best amenities though. They helped me set up a private chef dinner that was fantastic. They helped guide us to local restaurants and golf courses. They helped us find a masseuse for an in home visit, and they helped us find a fun sunset sailing cruise. I didn't like that I was going to get charged for a full week of heating the pool and spa even though we only were there for 3 nights. The owner did agree to give me a slight discount, but it wasn't anywhere close to prorated. The concierge service did help me after hours though when I couldn't figure out the spa heat, so they really came through for us. I would highly recommend renting through Island Time and this property was excellent. The location was great, but you will want a car or bike. We walked to Coligny Beach area a couple times, but it was a solid 30-35 minutes.

We highly recommend 9 Guscio! The house is beautiful, recently renovated, and well stocked! The few minor issues we had were quickly resolved! Brenda Stone was wonderful to work with! We are renting through Island Time Hilton Head again for next year! Again, we have had the expertise of Brenda to choose the best house for our annual family Hilton Head vacation!

We rented 9 Guscio for two weeks and had two groups of friends visit. Hilton Head has become our favorite destination. The house was big enough as we had 5 couples one week and 7 couples the next week. Very well appointed and being on the beach and centrally located on the island made it perfect for our friends. The owner happened to be staying next door and was very friendly and helpful. The Island Time staff was very accommodating and responsive. Our only issues were one of the ovens slow to heat up but did work and the elevator had a few glitches. Some of the elevator glitches were operator errors but a few were mechanical. We will be back.

We stayed over 4th of July week and hosted 4 families with kids in tow. The rooms were spacious and the layout was accommodating. The elevator made bringing luggage up and down a breeze. Pool and spa were great and the beach access is perfectly nestled in between the two major hotels so your beach is as private as you can get in HH. The concierge service was fantastic, very responsive and helped with all our requests for recommendations. The only two nits would be the kitchen appliances and beds. The oven took 45 mins to preheat to 450 degrees, the fridges were a bit dated and took a while to get the ice working properly. but this is all minor. And the beds/pillows lacked great support. But if you had a bed with the beach views, you can easily get past that. Great parking, great location to all the downtown fun for the kids and a beautiful home. Very spacious and high ceilings so you are never on top of each other.

No regrets whatsoever. The house was perfect, a little dated, but certainly met and exceeded our expectations. Island time allowed us to check in a few hours early, which really helped with our grandchildren. Location was excellent. Highly recommend this property to larger families....

WE WERE THERE FOR 2 WEEKS CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY.WE HAD FROM 4 TO 12 PEOPLE VISITING AT ANYTIME. THE SUNRISE WAS BEAUTIFUL. EACH BEDROOM HAD IT'S OWN BATHROOM WHICH WAS NICE. THE KITCHEN HAD EVERYTHING NEEDED AS WE ATE IN SERVERAL TIMES. WE WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RESERVE THIS HOUSE FOR OUR NEXT BIG BIRTHDAY BASH. THANK YOU ISLAND TIME..

It was a great house, everyone had quiet private space, patio is great, great views, great kitchen, great location. It’s Kept up pretty nice, just some worn/ stained carpeting a few places. And odd pool/spa heating specific instructions which were only on one paper that got an iPad laid on top of, and which caused us a couple cool pool days after we paid to heat both pool and spa. No sign or instructions out by the pool to be sure everyone who used spa and pool could see, since there’s 14 adults using it. Overall great time with an entire family there.

We had the BEST time as a family. The house was beautiful; everything was clean and we had more room than we knew what to do with. The elevator allowed my mom to see the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor. We were able to have family meals, chill by the pool/hot tub an enjoy the ocean without having to take more than a few steps. We all were able to see gorgeous sunrises, a family of stingray frequented the beach, twice we saw dolphins and we had a sea turtle nest (that did not hatch; something we were all hoping for) right by our house. We rented bikes and many of us ventured to the Coligny Plaza almost daily. My son and his wife biked almost everywhere. The island offered something for everyone and this home allowed my mom to give us memories to last a lifetime. Each bedroom with bathroom offered comfort and space. The outside balconies provided a spectacular view. The living area, kitchen and dining area was spacious and allowed us to gather for movies, game night, puzzles --- and several home cooked meals. Having a grill was a nice extra. There was not a kitchen appliance that was not available and SO MANY other things that you could cook a meal for 2 or a meal for 20. The 3rd level had its own kitchen and dining space as well as a washer and dryer. The main floor laundry space had a top of the line washer and dryer, sink and ironing board; plus lots of SPACE. All bedrooms and common living spaces had TV's; simple to use. I do not think anyone will be disappointed in renting this home. The home sits at the end of a DEAD-END drive; there is room for four cars to be parked under the home; if you rent bikes; you can lock to a tree or fire hydrant. Throughout the whole rental process, the Island Time staff was always helpful and kind. I hope to come back to Hilton Head and will rent again with Island Time. I need a home with an ocean view; this location was perfect. Many thanks for a wonderful week and memories to last a lifetime.

Matilda, thank you so much for sharing. We love being apart of your family memories. It sounds like your family had a fantastic time and we really hope to have you back enjoying those beach views again some time real soon!

The house was beautiful and clean with really nice art work making it more luxurious. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook meals. We were given a brand new grill when the other did not function well. When one air conditioner was not working the rental company was quick to respond and fix it. They were very concerned about our comfort. The beds were comfortable and our family had a great time going between the pool and the ocean. We were just a short bike ride away from all the shops and restaurants. We had plenty of room for 9 adults and 7 children ages 8, 6 and 4. My only suggestion is another umbrella for more shade by the pool. Other than that the house was a perfect vacation spot. We will rent again from this company. I hesitate to give such a good review because the house will be harder to get for our next vacation but they deserve a great review.

Thank you for staying with us Patricia. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We are excited you had a wonderful vacation and can't wait to welcome you back to the island soon.

Five couples had room to spare in this lovely, well equipped home with views of the beach and sounds of the surf! We had all the equipment needed for Low Country Boil and beach breakfasts! The home is a short bike ride from Coligny and many restaurants. Beds and furnishings were all comfortable, and the bathrooms were sizable and sparkling clean. One coffee maker was not working and was quickly replaced by manager. Do be careful - the house is at the end of a narrow street blocked by a wall. Do a little planning for who needs to get a car out.
