We've been coming to Hilton Head for 43 years. In fact, we previously owned a villa in Sea Pines. Now, we visit when we can. Shorewood is primarily a place for families and this was our 1st visit. We wouldn't stay here with just the 2 of us. This was a nice facility, very clean, the ocean view pretty and pool area was spectacular for children. We rented 4 different units from different managers so that our children and grandchildren could all be together! So, here's our take:
Pros:
. Decorated as advertised.
. Clean facility and property.
Cons:
. The bed was horrible, very hard. We tried the other one which was so much worse...and we mean worse.
. Kitchen needs more pots and pans and frying pans of different sizes. The choice here was not good at all.
. Toilet paper was almost see-through.
. No tissue in bathrooms.
. Toaster only toasted on one side of bread so had to turn bread...frustrating. Toaster was plastic.
. Kitchen should have some basic amenities...salt/pepper, crock pot, more kitchen towels/dishcloths, some scrubbers.
. No patio table to eat at. No cushions on chairs. Pretty bland. Only chairs with 2 little side tables.
I would definitely check first with property managers of different units to ask what amenities are available with different units. They are not all the same. Our children all had units on the 1st level for safety of their children and so that the children could run from the patio onto the grass or for ease in getting to the pool or beach. Their units/patios were much, much nicer with tables and chairs with cushions so that you could at least have breakfast outside. And decorated, so quite charming. We couldn't eat outside in this unit unless you held it in your lap, which we didn't. Additionally, their kitchens were SO well stocked, had beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys, tissue in bathrooms, etc.
*Check with different property managers first!
We don't intend for this to be a negative review, but some suggestions for the owners to make it much easier to rent.
