About this place

OffShoreDreaming is your place to while away the days and nights.

New to the rental market and renovated and just under one mile to the white sandy beach, you've found the perfect place for your Hilton Head Island getaway. The house is comfortable - each bedroom has a bath and television, a deck with a view, a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room with seating for eight, and a Weber grill to meet your BBQ needs. Cozy reading corners invite you to spend time in the space, while comfortable sofas and chairs provide seating to play games, talk, or watch a movie. And when the night falls, have a drink on the deck, watch the stars, and make memories with family and friends.

Our space provides the privacy you need yet is close to all the activities you crave. And when you crave good food but don't want to cook it yourself, we have an arrangement with a top-rated local chef who can prepare you a meal - brunch, lunch, or dinner - in our home. Are you interested in a low-country boil? No problem. The chef can prepare it in the backyard. We can make it happen; just let us know!

The pace on HHI is unhurried so you can rest, relax, and let the days go by. You are home. Look no further than Off Shore Dreamin' for your next HHI vacation.

OTHER IMPORTANT ITEMS

PLEASE NOTE: Our coffee bar is stocked with ground coffee and tea. We provide a coffee filter pot, a Chemex, a Keurig and Nespresso (bring your pods!), and flavored coffee syrups. Please enjoy the coffee and tea while at the villa and leave the rest for other guests to enjoy. A starter supply of toilet paper, hand soap, laundry and dish detergent, trash bags, and paper towels are provided for your ease.

PLEASE READ HOUSE RULES SECTION:

**********After booking confirmation or inquiry - which ever comes first - the host will ask for your acknowledgement and acceptance of the House Rules. The host will also request a $3000 security deposit. If there is no damage to the home and other House Rules were adhered to, including the no-pet, no-smoking policy, the host will return the deposit within seven days.

***********In addition to the rental pricing, there is an occupancy tax equivalent to 11%.

***********Lastly, for your protection as well as ours, we require a copy of your government-issued identification and a signed lease. After booking, we will provide a lease and request a copy of your identification. Much like the security deposit and HHI-tax payment, this is also a condition for staying in our home.

************Parking for up to two vehicles is available for a fee of $25-50 up to seven days per vehicle. All passes must be collected at the pass office upon arrival. Guests are limited to two car passes. No motorcycles, campers, or trailers are allowed in the resort.

************You are renting a home in the Lowcountry. Most owners may not reveal that the Lowcountry has all sorts of critters, including Palmetto bugs. As a result, we (like nearly all owners on the island) exterminate our home, both inside and out, the first Monday of every month. If you see a dead bug, that means the extermination is working, not that the home is unclean. We will not refund cleaning fees if you see a bug.

*************Moreover, we employ an inspection team AFTER every clean and BEFORE your arrival. The team spends time in the house double-checking the home to ensure your stay begins on the right foot.

*************All areas are available for guest use except fireplace and garage. Tampering with either will result in a fine.

All guests receive discounts on golf, rentals of bikes, kayaks, etc. at Outfitters, an on-property bike rental, canoe and kayak rental store. Please mention our address.

We are U.S. diplomats who love to explore. We bought our HHI villa in September 2014 because we love the island, the pace of life there, and its natural beauty. For those who choose to book with us, thank you in advance. We are sure you will love our place and the island as much as we do!
