About Kristen

After coming back to Hilton Head year after year for our family vacations with our three children, we decided to buy our own vacation home in January 2020. We manage our own property because we want to provide a personal relationship with our Guests and create an experience that they will want to return to year after year!

We are available by phone, text, and email for all Guest questions, concerns, and issues. We live in Columbia, SC, but we have wonderful local on-island contacts, including an outstanding cleaning service and handyman that are available when needed.

“Superb Host”
The unit is clean and comfortable, located perfectly on the island to access restaurants and any/other amenities one may wish to enjoy. The owners do an outstanding job of managing the unit through their Houfy website making payments/deposits/booking/etc. a VERY simple and efficient process. I've had difficulty in the past renting/dealing direct with owners who don't pay attention to their listings and don't facilitate timely refunds or responses to guests. NO issue whatsoever with Kristen, she is a superb host and pays close attention to management of the property.

Family Friendly Condo
My husband and I recently stayed with my 5-year-old son and my mother-in-law. The unit was comfortably furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen. We appreciated the short walk to the beach and less than 20 minute drive to anywhere on the island. My son loved the beach toys, bunk bed and the playground. We would definitely come back here the next time we come to Hilton Head Island!

The villa was a sanity-saver for us in the wake of Hurricane Helene! We had been without power for several days living in what looked like a war zone, and HH Beach & Tennis was the perfect getaway! The villa had just about everything we needed to walk in and start relaxing. I especially appreciated all the extra plugs AND that they were on top of the side tables in easy reach. We also loved the proximity of the pool and beach, as well as restaurants and shopping on the island. We would definitely stay here again!
