40 Shell Ring: Sea Pines

Well-appointed, comfortable and clean vacation rental. Had everything our family needed, had a wonderful layout and plenty of space!

We’ve stayed at several Bestnest properties over the years and this one did not disappoint! Very well appointed with every kitchen and beach amenity you’d need. The secondary bedrooms are separate from the master which is nice and the bonus daybed in the office (a completely separate room next to a full bath) gives you a fourth bedroom should you need it. We’ve stayed in this subdivision before. It is very close to the main gate at Sea Pines. It is a bit far to walk to the beach, but the Sea Pines Beach Club is an easy 15 minute bike ride as is Harbor Town. Although the price point of Bestnest is a bit more than most rental agencies, in my opinion, it is well worth it to be able to pack only your clothes and show up to a very clean rental that has everything you need including all of the beach equipment and all of it is in great shape! I doubt we will rent from anyone other than Bestnest!

Absolutely a spotless and beautiful home! We were able to truly relax since everything was already clean and top-notch quality. We also loved the layout! It was perfect for our group. We also can't say enough about Beverly Serral and her staff! They are all truly professional, kind and extremely helpful. We are more than happy to recommend this property!

- Harriet and Pete H. from Murfreesboro, Posted: 10/27/2015

Overall very good. House was clean and ready. Kitchen is amazing... as is the screened porch. 2 areas to improve in the house. The first is the bedroom with 2 twins... turn it into a queen. The second is the living/tv area... improve the seating by adding more (for example, the couch is too small)

- Dann H. from Dayton, Posted: 06/19/2017

Suggestions noted, Dann. Thank you! Beverly

Incredible experience top to bottom. The home was the cleanest rental I have ever seen, it was incredibly well stocked, the check in and out process was seamless and the communication was exemplary. My family goes to HHI every year and we will never use anyone else for our rentals.

- Joshua R. from Aurora, Posted: 07/03/2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Joshua! We're grateful for your review and look forward to hosting you at a BESTNEST again soon.

Clean, comfy, cozy. Our mini schnauzer liked it better there than home.

- William and Cheryl R. from Winchester, Posted: 01/12/2015

We had a wonderful time there at 40 Shell Ring, I didn't realize that it was not accessible to the beach. I had looked at so many houses, but I thought it was within walking distance to the beach. We rode up there and there was no parking,but we still enjoyed ourselves. We ordered bikes and went bike riding two days. We met our neighbors who were really nice people took pictures for us and even took a selfie. We did have an alligator come up out of the lagoon while we were there. That was a little unsettling seeing that there was not a fence to separate us from the "gator". For the most part it was a great time there. Would do it again.

- Barbara W. from Charlotte, Posted: 09/26/2016

Filled with laughter, fun and the perfect rental!

We always love having the Henrys!

Beverly Serral thinks of EVERYTHING! This home has plenty of room for everyone! GREAT RENTAL!!! I would never stay in a home that was not a Beverly Serral home...Our familly is totally spoiled! It's worth every dime!

BestNest is hands down the finest vacation rental company we have used in many years of travel- they have the rental experience down to a science. The neighborhood in Sea Pines was lovely and the location was perfect- convenient to everything Hilton Head offers. The home was very clean, beautifully decorated and I can’t say enough about the organization of the kitchen. We appreciated the welcome gift and numerous amenities provided such as fragrance free laundry products, paper goods and kitchen cleaning products. The king bed was very comfortable. Everything was in top notch condition. We loved the community pool and rental bikes. Enjoyed dining at Charlie’s, Skullcreek Boathouse and Redfish. Great massage and facial at Faces. Thank you for a stress free and thoroughly enjoyable vacation experience.

- Barbara P. from Littleton, Posted: 10/04/2021

Excellent home and location. Second experience living in a Beverly Serral Signature Rental in the same community and we loved both.

- Alphonso T. from Miami, Posted: 07/28/2015

Sea Pines is an amazing place to just relax and unwind. Ride your bikes to the beach, sit by the (usually very quiet) pool, play a few rounds of tennis on your (private) tennis courts... the house is perfect for a family... plenty of room, with an open plan for large dinners and fun.

Thanks so much Kimberly! 40 Shell Ring is a very comfy home and we are sooooo glad you enjoyed time with your family.

This was our second stay in a Beverly Serral property and both have been great. I like having peace of mind that a property we rent will meet consistent standards for condition and cleanliness, and they provided things like soap, paper towels and garbage bags that are not included with evey rental. The basket of snacks waiting on arrival is also a nice treat!

40 Shell Ring is spacious and provided plenty of room for 2 adults and 4 teenagers. The kids took the two bedrooms at the front side of the house, and had two full bathrooms to use between them. We didn’t use the daybed/trundle bed in the den, but it does allow some flexibility in sleeping arrangements or room for 1-2 more people. The kitchen is nice and well equipped, and this property has a garage that we used for storing bikes and beach items.

The house is located not far from the entrance of Sea Pines, which is convenient for access to stores, restaurants and attractions outside of Sea Pines but not as centrally located within Sea Pines itself. There is a bike path just outside the neighborhood entrance that can be used to get all over Sea Pines. The beach club is a short drive (5-10 minutes) and parking was not an issue with it being off season. There is a repaving/construction project on the main road when you first get into Sea Pines that I believe is scheduled to be complete by November. There are some road and bike path closures at the entrance of the neighborhood as a result which didn’t really negatively impact our stay, just some detours to deal with.

Overall we really enjoyed 40 Shell Ring and would stay again!

First and foremost Beverly and her staff were outstanding. They truly go way above and beyond for their guests.

We had an excellent stay and loved the house. It was perfect for our family of five. The home was beautifully decorated (not just furnished by second-hand shops) with incredibly comfortable furniture and even original art on the walls. Loved the screen porch--great for that first cup of morning coffee, watching the sun come up over the forest behind the house. Kitchen was so well-equipped (we are a family that cooks, so this was important) and also incredibly well-organized. We love being in Sea Pines, and having the Forest Preserve just a quick bike ride away was a great plus. The rental company was so responsive to our request for an extra table so we could do a family jigsaw puzzle. We had a relaxing, delightful time and hope to repeat it soon.

I only have one piece of constructive criticism: the TVs did not appear to be connected to conventional cable channels, only streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, which made it impossible for us to watch ESPN at night when your office was closed and there was no one to call for help. The cable guide print-out listed in the manual was not available. Could you do something to address this?

- Carolyn and Robert W. from McLean, Posted: 01/04/2022

We had a wonderful stay! All the extras were so appreciated! You had to bring clothes and bathing suit and that was all!

- Carol P. from Gnadenhutten, Posted: 08/08/2016

This house was beautiful & immaculately clean! We have been coming to HHI for many years and this was our best rental experience yet! Beverly & her staff were amazing to work with.

- Melanie and Nicholas M. from Rome, Posted: 03/27/2020

Beautiful home for our perfect weekend. Yes, we saw the alligator in the lagoon behind the house. It’s a good size alligator.

- Kim A. from Woodstock, Posted: 06/22/2021

Gorgeous house with everything you need. So organized . Beautiful view of the lagoon, alligators come out to greet you. They stay in the lagoon . Beds are very comfortable and lots of room for entertainment. Everything you need for the beach is included. Beach is 10 minute drive, easy to get to. Would absolutely rent again.

- Cheryl H. from Waxhaw, Posted: 07/13/2024

Thank you for sharing your experience, Cheryl! We look forward to your next stay with us.

House was beautiful, super clean and had everything needed for a perfect Christmas week. Can’t say enough good things about rental and can’t wait for a return visit to a Beverly Serral property.

- Margaret T. from Senoia, Posted: 01/01/2018

Felt like home
This is without question the best experience we have had with a vacation rental. Beautiful home, perfect location, unbelievably clean, incredibly well stocked and seamless check in and check out process. Moreover, the communication was above and beyond. My family goes to Hilton Head every summer and we will never use anyone else. Thank you!!!

- Joshua R from Denver, Posted: 07/03/2024

Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you and your family had a great time and look forward to welcoming you back next year!

- Beverly Serral Properties staff, Posted: 07/04/2024

We have stayed at 2 different locations in Sea Pines,with Beverly Serral Rentals and you could not ask for a more relaxing getaway. They are always clean and we'll maintained. You will be completely taken care of when you stay at one of these properties.

- Brandon and Shana P. from Shelby, Posted: 07/15/2015

Second time staying at this home. We are just so comfortable in this home. The home is always spotless and everything in working condition! Like having the use of beach towels, chairs and coolers. Neighborhood pool is a big plus also.

It was a fanstastic vacation and the rental home more than met my expectations.

- Deborah W. from Atlanta, Posted: 08/14/2015

40 Shell Ring was the perfect get a way for our stay in Sea Pines. Everything you can possibly need for a beach vacation is provided in this beautiful home. We will definitely return!

- Anonymous from Atlanta, Posted: 09/04/2014

Our family of six was delighted to stay at the 40 Shell Ring Road home in Sea Pines in June. The location was perfect for biking on the trails, watching the birds and occasional alligator in the lagoon from the screened in porch, riding horses at the Lawton Stables and quick trips into Harbor Town to shop/enjoy dinner and music. Plenty of privacy in this large home along with a fully equipped kitchen. We were surprised by the welcoming baskets of goodies as well!

- Rene and Rob D. from Westerville, Posted: 06/30/2022

The house was spotlessly clean. We were welcomed with a basket of delicious snacks. The beds were beautifully made and equally cozy. The kitchen was perfect- dishes, pit and pans. Everything was like new. Can’t wait to go back!

- Cliff Schwandner and Anne C. from Cincinnati, Posted: 03/28/2021

Anne-- you are most welcome anytime at all! See you soon! Beverly

Once again, we were thrilled with our Beverly Serral vacation. No detail is omitted to make us comfortable and ensure that we had everything we needed.

- Anthony and Mary G. from North York, Posted: 06/05/2017

House was exactly as pictured. Very clean, updated, really well stocked, did not cut corners. This was the nicest rental our family stayed at ever. Everything worked out great. Every morning at least 1 alligator was sunning intself along the bank of the canal in the back. Having the deck and screened in porch elevated was really helpful.

- Kathy and Steve L. from Hockessin, Posted: 08/24/2015

Kathy-- I think the #1/dissatisfied (yikes!) with property condition might have been a typo as you hope to stay at 40 Shell again next year and give it/us 5 STARS. Hmmm...... stay tuned...... Beverly

My ffamily that included 5 adults, a 5 month iold baby iand a 10 year old enjoyed the size and beauty of this home. We loved the look and feel of the home and having access to the neighborhood pool. IWe found getting to the beach extrenely challenging as beach access is limited and carrying chairs, coolers, beach toys and baby carriers on the trolley (two trolleys needed from this location) was not an option. As a 20 year visitor to the island, I prefer easy access to the beach.

- Susan B. from Marietta, Posted: 08/14/2021

Dear Readers-- Carolina Place is a great location based on lots of factors, but as Ms. Brown points out, it is not super close to the beach. If it were, dear readers, it would be, candidly and understandably, a great deal more expensive to reserve. That is the beauty of Sea Pines- lovely homes all over the community, in lots of price ranges, to meet every budget and family need. BESTNEST offers many options, all consistently outfitted and equipped. Please call us to discuss! Beverly

- Beverly Serral Properties staff, Posted:

The home was everything it was represented to be in the listing. The basic
household items were provided in ample quality and a nice benefit. The staff was helpful every time contacted. We had no issues with any aspect of our experience . Plan on renting again from you.

- Michael and Lisa L. from Columbia, Posted: 07/12/2016

Thank you Lee family-- we look forward to your return! Beverly

Take caution to walk your dogs if you bring them, out front. There really are alligators out back and they WILL come up the hill. We saw one come up and snap up a large turtle. We kept our family on the porch with instructions not to go in the backyard. The neighborhood pool was a hit. Very nice to have for the little ones who don't care for the sandy beach. We love Hilton Head, and will be back for sure, as this was not our first time on the island. Every amenity you could possibly need is supplied here at 40 Shell Ring and we just felt at home.

- Linda and David L. from Grand Prairie, Posted: 08/03/2019

Great space for our family of six.

- Michael and Ivy P. from Avon, Posted: 07/20/2021

Beautiful home and met my expectation.

- Gwendolyn M. from Lithonia, Posted: 05/10/2021

This is out third time staying at one of the Beverly Serral signature rentals, and it just keeps getting better. This home was absolutely spotless, equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable. The view from the back porch was so enjoyable and relaxing; we loved watching the wildlife and listening to nature.

We always stay in Sea Pines, and this home had a wonderful location, just past the gates. We were a quick drive to the Beach Club, and a quick drive up to our usual haunts just outside of sea pines.

We happened to be staying here when tropical storm Hermine rolled in, and I'm so glad that we had such a comfortable and welcoming home in which to spend the day. Happily, we even found a draw stocked with flashlights and batteries, and candles in the pantry. They've really thought of everything!

Once you stay in one of Beverly's rentals, you simply won't settle for staying anywhere else on Hilton Head Island.

- Lindsay M. from Fort Mill, Posted: 09/06/2016

Lindsay-- this is my favorite review of the day. Maybe the week. We appreciate all of our guest reviews, but I especially appreciate it when our guests find our special touches helpful. Thanks bunches!! Beverly

This home was perfect for our family vacation to HHI! The owners/management have truly thought of everything that a family could need during their stay. The house is beautiful, and the location on the lagoon was so amazing for nature watching! The pool and tennis courts are right down the street, and were not crowded at all. We could ride bikes or walk down to the nature preserve entrance or down to visit the horses at Lawton. Sea Pines Beach Club was a great set up for beach days, but is definitely a bike or car trip.
Beverly Serral renting is amazing compared to all of the other experiences we have had. We have been coming to HHI for 15 years now, and this was the easiest, most efficient, and most up-to-date (love the app!) way that we have booked/checked in and out.
Thank you for sharing this home with our family! We have made very special memories again at HHI, and will definitely use Beverly Serral for all of our future HHI Rental needs!

Very nice and the home met all expectations through BestNest. We rent two homes in Carolina Place to accommodate our family gatherings. A most convenient location and wonderful access to all we enjoy at Sea Pines.

- Anonymous from Winchester, Posted: 07/02/2021

This was our first time staying in Sea Pines and renting from BestNest. Will be doing it again. The house was awesome, spacious, clean and all the amenities you didn’t know you even needed! Kitchen was great with the best set up I’ve ever seen in a rental (4th time on the island) was pleasantly surprised. We did a family night where we made gnocchi and this was the perfect kitchen island to do it on. Beds were quite comfortable, the screened in porch was perfect for my rocking lawn chair and my 10 month old granddaughter could safely play. The staff was so nice, even left a basket of goodies for us with a note wishing me a happy birthday which I just briefly mentioned to them. How great is that! It was a wonderful experience we were in need of nothing you could really just bring your clothes and your stay would be perfect. They have everything including beach equipment! It was a quiet neighborhood which was so nice to come back to after a day at the beach. They also left treats for our dog...talk about paying attention to details!! I highly recommend renting from BestNest Beverly Serral

This is a wonderful home with beautiful decor and many amenities. The community pool and tennis court are conveniently located—no need to drive somewhere else or make reservations. There’s a small room which is perfect for reading or TV viewing if one wants a little “alone” time. Great screened in porch for viewing Ibis and alligators. It would be nice to have 2 kings and one queen or full since our family consists of 5 adults. It’s pretty far from the ocean, but that was ok with us. We could drive or bike to the ocean. We will probably return to this home next year.

- Linda & David S. from Jefferson City, Posted: 11/11/2021

We felt like hurricane Mathew would ruin our trip this year. Beverly Serral associates could not have been more accommodating at a difficult time. We had a great week and loved the house. Our new favorite. Very clean and well equipped and great design features.

Great house and location. We really enjoyed the pool and tennis courts that are close by. Easy bike rides to anywhere in Sea Pines, so highly suggest a bike rental. Very clean and the house had everything you need for cooking. The grill was brand new. The back deck and screened porch is nice to relax and watch the nature preserve in back.

- Anonymous from Tiffin, Posted: 06/08/2021

Our first experience with BSSR was absolutely wonderful - easy online reservation, quick responses to inquiries before our arrival and during our stay, incredibly stocked kitchen/bathrooms/bedrooms and detailed instructions/recommendations regarding anything and everything pertaining to the rental property and community. Use of the garage bays was a nice bonus. Property a little removed from the rest of Sea Pines and the beach but made for lots of quality bike riding for us. Backyard basically off-limits due to small size and alligators - not considered problems for our group. 4th bedroom is small, has a trundle bed and glass doors - which was generally OK for our 10 and 12 year-old sons - but lack of privacy could be a problem for others. Bottom line - everything exceeded my (and our group's) expectations. And I have wickedly high expectations!

- Melinda B. from Greensboro, Posted: 07/03/2017

Great again!

- Lana and Kevin R. from Columbus, Posted: 11/09/2017

We were very pleasantly surprised with the home and location. We made a last minute decision to travel and this property was just as advertised. It was beautifully furnished and had a relaxing lagoon view in the backyard. The management team could not have been better from start to finish and paid great attention to every detail. The house was well appointed and it was a great help not to have to bring beach gear with us. The neighborhood was also very pleasant and the community pool very enjoyable. We did not get a chance to play tennis, but the courts looked nice as well. I would definitely recommend this property and management team, and I look forward to returning.
