We celebrated my husband’s birthday with my teen twins. Open space and everything you need. The neighborhood beach and everything was great. Would stay there again.
House was in perfect condition. The kitchen was well appointed. Could not have been happier. Beautiful view.

Wonderful stay in another Beverly Serral rental. Great location and home amenties were top notch. Only comments--we did not notice the 'shared bathroom' in the description, and thought description referenced QUEEN sized beds in bedroom 2 and 3 (but they were FULL sized). Other than these, was a great stay, as always.

BestNest never fails to provide exactly what we’re looking for in a vacation rental. The house was exactly as it appeared on the listing, and the BestNest folks were very accommodating during our stay. The setting, open floor plan and location on the island itself made this listing the ideal spot to do vacation our way. Very private, very quiet, very well maintained. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Best equipped home I’ve ever rented. Beverly runs a first class operation. Clean, all essentials provided, this is Ritz Carlton type of operation.Talented staff that is very responsive. You’ve nothing to worry about here. Leave spices, knives, soap and shampoo home. Home smelled fresh, not mildewy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 11 Black Tern in Sea Pines. With a view of the marsh and a few block walk to the beach, we thought the location was perfect. We would see deer and birds daily right out the windows that span the entire backside of the house. We walked our dogs daily between 5-10 miles and this location was perfect for a walk down the beach and a walk back on the path. And when the weather wouldn't cooperate, the fireplace came in very handy.The setup worked very well for six of us for dinners, puzzling and board games.We are already planning our return visit next year.

This was the third time we have scheduled to stay at this particular location. It is perfect for our needs, and a has a view that can't be beat. The living room, dining room and Master bedroom overlook an untouched grassey marsh where we can look at Egrets, geese, deer etc... And it is only a ten minute walk to the beach. Met some nice neighbors along the way. We come to Hilton Head to relax and this home is set up for just that with a comfortable, welcoming environment for reading by the pool or in the living room overlooking nature. A well-stocked welcome basket had yummy snacks to tide us over until we made it to the grocery store. (Even had a nice dog treat for our Charlie!) Immaculately clean. Not only would I recommend this property to others, but we would book it every time we come to Hilton Head.

Lovely home, with excellent views of the ever-changing show. Well maintained and equipped. 15-20 minute walk to South Beach and the Salty Dog. Large rear deck, overlooking the pool, provided plenty of lounging space, and easy access to the gas grill. Would definitely consider returning.

We stay here every October. The Serrel group meets all our needs. I think our biggest complaint which has nothing to do with the rental agency is all the noise from weed blowers and lawn maintenance everyday. The other issue is all the traffic from the service companies/builders doing work in the neighborhood.

We had a wonderful family holiday at 11 Black Tern, loved the layout and coziness of the home, it was bright and clean and had everything we needed. The only downside was the fireplace didn't work and we chose this home looking forward to a cozy Thanksgiving evening fire. Also there was a musty smell and the windows don't open so no fresh air can get in. Great location. Would definitely rent with BESTNEST again.
This home was perfect. Great location, responsive hosts, great location, stocked with everything you'd need and more. Would absolutely stay here again.
We had a great stay at this property and suited our family and dog very, very well. The locations was great, the house was very clean and well laid out for a family. I highly recommend this property!
Great property management makes a huge difference!!!!
This was the perfect getaway to celebrate a birthday. Every detail in the house was considered by property management. It made our stay absolutely wonderful.
Stayed for a few nights with our kids. Great bike ride distance to beach. Property is well maintained and had everything we needed to cook, clean, bathe and go to beach!

Loved our stay here as always. It is our home away from home for the month of October. Service is so quick if we have any questions the staff responds promptly. They always check in on us to make sure we have all our needs met. No place on the island could come close to how they maintain their properties and meet our needs. Roger Terry & Scout 🐾
Some high school friends did a golf trip. Place was great. Everything we needed. Company who took care of the place did a great job. Definitely want to come back and would stay again in a heartbeat
Very close bike ride to the beach. Very strict pet rules but leads to an immaculate property.

This is a wonderful property! The house was very clean, the layout and furnishings were nice, the pool and view were fabulous and the location was great. I greatly appreciated the “extras” in this home such as laundry detergent, actual soap dispensers in the bathrooms, beach towels, beach chairs, wagons, etc. We had such a wonderful experience and will try to stay in this home again.
