Sands Village at Forest Beach 21 Lagoon Road, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928

"We stayed on a unit in bldg A on the 3rd floor. Unit: Clean enough. No smart TV so had to settle for commercial TV. Could not set up HDMI or Chromecast on the TV in the LV. The ports just would not work. But the cable box worked. Go figure. The light above the stove and cooktop didn't work so cooked in semi darkness at night. Bathtub bath plug didn't work so young children had to take a shower. Only one bedroom lamp worked, the other one flickered on and off and finally quit. Giant clock on wall didn't work. Guess it was a decoration. There were 2 Beach chairs available on the balcony. Adequate storage. 3rd story walkup, no elevator. Facility: No bike racks. Strange being such a beach bike place. Adequate parking. No sign of maintenance. There was trash and litter that never got picked up then at some point a Piggly Wiggly grocery cart was left at the bottom of the stairs and gave the air of a homeless residential hotel/apartment. If not for the location this complex could become a refuge for people on the verge of homelessness. There are long term residents here. They might be owners or rentals. In any case unless the trash and litter are addressed it's looking pretty low class. Pool is clean and adequate. Location: 10 minute walk from the beach. Walking distance to shops and food. Location is what is keeping this place alive."

"The area is just a short walk to the beach and Coligny shops. Very convenient spot in Hilton Head. Just a short drive to Seapines Resort or Walmart. The area is relatively quiet. There is a swing over the pond to watch turtles and gators. The pool was nice and clean. Our unit was very updated, modern and had a beachy feel."

"All but 6 of the condos here are privately owned. Some have been remodeled and some are more original. Ask the owner what is included. Rental prices vary accordingly. The timeshare units that are rented are old and worn for the most part. Good value, great location"

"We just bought and remodeled a villa here. We love Sands Village due to it's proximity to the beach. A TRUE 5 minute walk. Across the street from Coligny Plaza. Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of North Forest Beach. It's a small quiet complex. Well taken care of. Each unit is individually owned. Some updated, some not..... like any other complex. We think it's a hidden gem."

"Great place Condo very clean Was missing beach chairs. Iron n hair dryer mainly because people coming from out of state flying in dont carry those things. Great pool also very well kept. Enjoyed seeing the gator"
