Driftwood – 2nd Row Sea Pines Home, Retro Charm, Sleeps 8, Steps to Beach

  • Welcome to Driftwood – Retro 2nd Row Beach Charm in Sea Pines
    2 Brown Pelican Road | Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

Guests also enjoy access to the Harbour Town Pool for the 2026 season.

Beach get away

Absolutely loved our stay at Driftwood! The house had beautiful updates and the screened in porch was our evening hangout every night! The house was perfectly located between 2 beach access points and you had a view of the ocean from the front window. All in all, we had a fantastic stay and can’t wait to book again!

Wonderful Beachside Retreat

This was a perfect place for our family vacation to Hilton Head. Plenty of room for everyone to be together yet have their own space. Only a five minute walk to the beach. Very clean and well appointed place. It was also very easy to check in, check out and know how things were going to work during our stay. We would definitely use Beachside again at this or other properties.

Perfect in every way

We've visited Hilton Head (specifically Sea Pines) for many many years and this was one of our best overall experiences. Driftwood is a perfect beach house based on the proximity to the beach and to the South Beach area as well as the casual, family friendly appointing. We loved it and would definitely book again.

Amazing family friendly stay

This property easily accomodated our family including 2 and 4 yr olds and a dog. We found the space very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. Loved the downstairs area with games/puzzles/TV and the large deck. The check in was easy and we only had one question and that was answered quickly. There is plenty of parking and outside storage for bikes/beach gear. The beach is a very short/easy walk and the outdoor shower was great for rinsing off sand upon return. We would definitely stay here again.

Great family vacation home

The home was well maintained and ideal for our family. Meals on the screened porch were a family favorite. The walk to the beach was a little longer than expected for a second row home. There is not a direct path meaning you have to go out to the main road, over and then use a public beach access. Not too far and an easy walk, just a little more than anticipated.

Everything was excellent

We truly enjoyed the property. It was a great location close to the beach and had wonderful amenities. We enjoyed the spacious quarters, screen porch and deck, and the downstairs game room. There was plenty of fridge and counter space, as well as bathrooms and bedrooms of different types for our group. Everything we could need was provided in the house. House managers were responsive to our questions. No items needed repair. Overall A.

Phil McLemore

Overall we liked the property and the house and was a easy access to the beach. The house had everything that we needed. We had hoped that the fence area would be suitable for dogs but there are openings on one side of the fence that dogs could easily slip through. The fence area for the dogs also needs some clean mulch or pine straw because it is not clean enough for a dog to use and then come into the house. There was some water dripping from the toilet tank in the hall bath but we fixed it. One of our older friends said that they thought the rug in the downstairs carpet was a triping hazard and should have some carpet tape to hold it in place. Again we enjoyed the stay and only these things were listed because everything else was great.

Recent stay with Beachside

Our home was lovely and close to beach. We appreciated the well-appointed kitchen. It was nice to have all the extras (e.g., basic spices, trash bags, laundry and dish detergent, etc.) so we didn't have to bring or buy for the week. The homeowners were good about communicating about everything from check in to check out.

Homespun feeling in great location

We loved this place for a break from the cold weather in Maine with our dogs. Two minute walk to the great beaches, 4 minute walk to Salty Dog, 15 minute drive to "town". Everything one would need for cooking and dining was provided for, we had a friends over for a salmon cookout on the gas grill on the deck. The fenced in backyard was a big plus for out mutts. Our hosts were most helpful and accommodating of our request to extend our stay when the weather got worse up north. We will be back!

Absolutely awesome experience! Have probably done 10 rentals in sea pines over the years And this was by far the best. The communication prior and during the stay was amazing. House was lacking nothing! So clean and had absolutely everything you needed down to a digital meat thermometer. Location to the Beach was 5 min walk. Same for Salty Dog. And that upper porch was our favorite spot for the week. Highly highly recommend. Could not have been better
