We loved the property and location. The screened in porch overflow the lagoon was a highlight of our visit. We were able to stay through Hurricane Debbie without feeling apprehensive or worried due to the raised height of the house.

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful tome at John’s house! The screened in porch is such a retreat, we spent so much time out there, especially our kids. The bike ride to the beach took us more like 10-15 minutes to get there but we also had kids but it didn’t deter us. Would definitely stay again!

Love the lagoon

Perfect layout for families. We all loved watching the wildlife on the lagoon. The kitchen is well stocked. The house is very clean and the flooring is so much more hygenic than carpeting. Highly recommend.

Winter Getaway

We have been coming to Hilton Head in the winter for quite a few years. Having stayed at a few different VRBO locations in Shipyard this house is our favorite. The screened in back porch is a great extension to the living space and offers hours of bird and turtle watching. The host was very responsive to questions and generously let us use his bicycles. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, glassware, and utensils. All appliances worked well. A great place to getaway any time of the year.

Wonderful Property

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. The home was stacked with everything we could need. The screen porch was great and we used it for hours every day. The kitchen was fully stocked and didn't leave us needing anything for cooking/preparing meals. The added extras contributed to the enjoyment of our stay!!

The best vacation

We stayed for just over a week in this lovely blue home away from home. Having been to Hilton Head and stayed in Shipyard multiple times, this is the first time we have stayed in Kingston Cove and it has been our favorite! The house is beautifully decorated, so well equipped (we used the selection of beach chairs and bikes almost everyday) and was the perfect size accommodation for the 5 of us. Highlight was the patio swing and watching the alligators go by! Thanks so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home and if you’re ever in the market for selling, we’d be first in line!

New Favorite Place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We found some of our favorite times were meals spent on the AWESOME screened in porch with its lovely lagoon views. Lots of baby alligator sightings. Beach is walkable and a leisurely pace takes about 18 minutes. Bike-able in 5 minutes. having the bikes available without the hassle and expense of renting them was great! All the beach toys were available including beach towels! When we head back to Hilton Head this will be where we stay. Thanks John, for sharing your beautiful home with my family!

A wonderful week spent at this amazing house. The house was clean, comfortable (especially the beds!), with everything you could possible need. The screened porch was a favourite for us all, every night spent listening to the wildlife. The kids loved the bikes, and even went on a last sunrise bike ride to the beach. This house was the icing on the cake of a fabulous week on HHI.
Our very first day, a gator swam up to the house and lay next to the ‘Beware of the Gator’ sign. 😂

This house is one of the best on the island! Great location, everything you need is close at hand, the layout is perfect and everything was immaculate when we arrived! Having bikes included with the property was a huge plus for getting to the beach and back and it is a smooth, easy ride. There is space for everyone to gather inside and out and all the furniture, including the beds, were sturdy and comfortable. The community pool is within an easy walk and the community is quiet and secluded. Absolutely a perfect vacation home!

What a wonderful place to stay. Updates in the kitchen and bathroom were much appreciated. Even more loved were the bikes available— we biked daily to the beach with ease (all sizes! From kid size to adult size).It rained the first 2 days of our stay, however due to the covered patio we didn’t mind at all. At least 7 places to sit outside.We would definitely stay here again. We previously had stayed close by in a condo, but the house gave us privacy we enjoyed. Beach towels are even included with this property— we have stayed many years in shipyard and never had these included. I highly recommend this house from John and Betsy.
