    The Space:

    Welcome to 5 Lark Street, a one-of-a-kind A-frame surf cottage in North Forest Beach, where vintage charm meets modern updates just ~100 steps from the Atlantic. This lovingly renovated 1967 bungalow captures the spirit of coastal living: relaxed, unique, and just a stone’s throw from the sand.



    Step inside and encounter a bright open living and dining area that blends seamlessly with an updated, fully equipped kitchen. Two living spaces provide flexibility, whether relaxing with family or gathering with friends.



    The main level hosts a bedroom (off living/kitchen) featuring a full and king bed and an en-suite bathroom. A spiral staircase leads upstairs to two additional bedrooms, each with bunk-style arrangements (lower full, upper twin), sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower. These rooms add personality and charm, ideal for kids or guests seeking a fun, cosy space.



    Outside, enjoy a screened porch at the rear, perfect for morning coffee or reading while sheltered from sun or insects. The side patio offers Adirondack chairs and a firepit, creating cosy evenings by the flames. Rinse off after the beach using the outdoor shower.



    This pet-friendly home includes well-appointed amenities: free WiFi, Smart TVs, washing machine/dryer, keyless entry, and a Keurig for your morning brew. The location is unbeatable - Coligny Plaza is a short ~0.6-mile walk or bike ride away, giving you easy access to shopping, dining, nightlife, and entertainment.



    Whether you’re drawn by the surf cottage style, the proximity to the beach, or the convenience of modern amenities in a quaint setting, 5 Lark Street invites you to experience Hilton Head with character and comfort. Enjoy a holiday reimagined with host2coast, your trusted Hilton Head Island Property Management partner.

    Guest Access:

    We want your stay to be all about the memories - not the paperwork. So let's get the small stuff out of the way early and get back to what matters: your trip!



    Every reservation is required to complete a quick Guest Portal before check-in. It's a secure external link we'll send you shortly after booking, and it's also where you'll find all your check-in details - including your all-important door code.



    The pre-approval process takes just a few minutes and covers three simple steps:



    1. Sign the Rental Agreement - a quick electronic signature, no printing required.

    2. Guest verification - a fast, standard guest verification.

    3. Pick your coverage: Damage Waiver (a small, non-refundable fee covering eligible accidental damage during your stay - our guests' favourite option, since it takes the stress out of minor mishaps) or Security Deposit (a fully refundable hold, released after checkout as long as everything's in order).



    We'll email your secure portal link before arrival - just a few minutes of your time for a much smoother check-in. Thanks for helping us keep things safe and simple. We can't wait to host you!

The house was described perfectly and exceeded our needs. Most importantly to note, the host was amazing at communicating and correcting a small issue we had. When there is a hiccup the response and remedy is very important and the host exceeded my expectations. 10/10

Unique property

Great location, but the house needs work. Specifically, lack of electrical outlets in bathrooms, refrigerator didn't work properly, and master bath floor coating would peel and stick to bare feet. Positives: very open and well lit. Only steps to beach. Comfortable furniture

No designated areas, limited space for pet business. We did no shopping, so I can't comment on the shopping.

Great location

Perfect spot. Literally 2 minutes from the house until your toes are in the water. A 15-to-20-minute walk to Coligny Plaza along a shaded bike/walk path (about the same along the beach). The kitchen was much larger than we expected and had all of the basics. The back porch had a large fan that kept it comfortable even during the heat of the day. We didn't use the firepit, but we sat around it at night. The chairs were very comfortable. The only thing that was a negative for me was the stairs. Very narrow and steep. Getting luggage up there was a little tricky. Overall vibe was a hand-me-down generational family vacation house. Would definitely stay there again!
