The Wren Dr home was a perfect place for our 11-person family gathering! The location in Sea Pines is the best of both worlds- located at the end of a quiet culdesac overlooking the marsh, but a very quick, easy walk to the beach and Salty Dog area. Loved the privacy and easy accessibility!
House is lovely and well appointed. Looks recently updated. Great configuration of beds/baths and beds are very comfortable! Two sets of washer/dryers, outdoor gas grill, etc… bring own beach towels (we didn’t see any), but there are plenty of bathing towels.
Bring all of own food items- there are no basics such as olive oil, seasonings, foil/Saran, coffee, sugar, etc.
We truly loved our stay and will absolutely book this home again.
I will share two points of caution:
1) Checking in requires going to the property management office to collect Sea Pines parking passes first. If others in your party are arriving separately, you will either need to meet them outside of the Sea Pines gate or they will be charged a fee to enter. It is a slightly inconvenient process when traveling a distance to Hilton Head.
2) The gas supply to the house. BEWARE if you request to have pool/spa heated!! We discovered on the second day of our stay that the buried gas tank that supplies the house to heat pool/spa and Rinnai hot water heater was empty!! The gentleman who stopped by to skim the pool told us that.
Thankfully there is an electric on-demand hot water heater so we had hot water in the house, but it does not work for the pool/spa and definitely does not sufficiently keep up with hot water demands for 11 people! Additionally, the Rinnai beeps loudly and continuously when hot water is called for inside the house, as it is trying to kick on but has no gas supply.
We were refunded for the pool/spa heating charge after reporting that the gas tank was empty.
Not sure how this was allowed to become an issue in the first place. It should have either been disclosed ahead of time that the gas supply was empty, or it should have been maintained at a reasonable level. I am familiar with buried gas tank supply, and cannot think of a reasonable excuse for this issue.
Overall, we made the best of it, and barring that issue, we would absolutely book this wonderful home again!
