Barefoot Bungalow – Charming Beach Retreat in Sea Pines’ Night Heron Community

Slow down and soak in the peaceful rhythm of island life at Barefoot Bungalow, a cozy one-bedroom, freestanding home nestled in the quiet and picturesque Night Heron community of Sea Pines. Perfect for couples or small families, this charming getaway offers the privacy of a standalone home, surrounded by palmettos, towering pine trees, and the gentle sounds of nature.

Inside, the open floor plan features a bright, beachy design that immediately invites relaxation. The living area is comfortably furnished and includes a 50” Smart TV, digital cable, and a plush sofa that converts into a queen bed—ideal for additional guests. Natural light pours through large windows, bringing the lush greenery indoors and enhancing the calming, coastal atmosphere.

The kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite countertops, tile backsplash, and stylish cabinetry. It's fully equipped with everything you need for a simple breakfast or a romantic dinner in, including a dishwasher, microwave, full-size refrigerator, and both a standard and Keurig coffee maker. A stacked washer and dryer are also conveniently located in the home for easy laundry access during longer stays.

The bedroom is tastefully decorated with coastal accents and features a queen-size bed and a 27” flat-screen TV, offering a peaceful place to unwind after a day at the beach. The bathroom has a spa-like feel with a marble vanity and walk-in shower, blending function and comfort with a touch of elegance.

Step outside to your elevated private deck, where you’ll find a gas grill, comfortable seating, and the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Surrounded by Sea Pines’ signature landscape of moss-draped oaks, saw palmettos, and tranquil waterways, this is your front-row seat to the natural beauty of Hilton Head.

Just a short 5–10 minute walk from the front door, you’ll reach the pristine Sea Pines beach, one of the most peaceful stretches of sand on the island. If you'd rather lounge poolside, the community pool is only a few hundred feet away.

Located within Sea Pines Resort, Barefoot Bungalow gives you access to miles of scenic bike and walking trails, world-class golf, seasonal trolley service, and close proximity to shopping, dining, and the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. With easy access through the quiet South Gate, you'll also avoid the island’s summer traffic, making your stay all the more relaxing.

Whether you're seeking rest, adventure, or a little of both, Barefoot Bungalow offers the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and coastal charm — a true Lowcountry retreat just steps from the shore.

A little dated, but a great stay!

We had a wonderful time! My husband and I love staying in Sea Pines, and the night heron bungalows are our favorite! There were a few dings and stains on the walls within the bungalow, a little paint peeling, and some broken shades, but otherwise very clean, and very cozy! The bed was very comfortable and the screen doors allowed for nice fresh air to come in during the day. Thank you folks at Beach Bum! :)

Perfect location

My husband and I have been vacationing on Sea Pines for over 40 years and love it!! This location is perfect for going to the beach - just about 8 minute walk. You can also easily bike to any place on Sea Pines. This year we brought our dog for the first time. This unit was perfect for her, with a nice deck out back. The unit was clean and stocked with all of the products we needed for our 1 week stay. Only suggestion - bring your own pillows!

Perfect location, perfect spot for 2!

We LOVED our stay. It was so clean and is such a short walk to the beach. The Sea Pines area really makes it feel like you're on vacation with the bike paths and restaurants. The back deck is private and lovely and the neighborhood is quiet and secluded. 10/10 recommend, absolutely loved this spot. If you want to save $9, it's close enough to the gate that someone could just walk in (maybe 5 minutes) and grab the weekly pass from the place to get the car in the gate. Also, the pictures didn't look like there was a door on the bedroom, but there is.

First time staying at Night Heron

Overall the property was as advertised. It looked like the floors had been renovated but it could use some TLC in areas like the kitchen and bathroom. The refrigerator was rusting on the side and the bathroom shower frame was in need of repair. Some positives were the location. It was only a short walk to the beach and to the pool. Although the unit does not come furnished with beach chairs which would be a nice addition. The pull out bed should also be cleaned or replaced altogether it was very dirty when we opened it. Overall we would rent here again just not this particular unit.

Once again we enjoyed our stay at this property. We stayed here in October as well. It is a perfect property for a couple looking for a great location! Though there is a fold-out sofa, there is only one bedroom and one bathroom....which is accessed only by walking through the bedroom. This could be a little awkward if another couple or older children were staying as well. That said, it's absolutely perfect for my wife and I and we would not hesitate staying there anytime! Well worth it!

Great place

Great place to stay, Convenient and very quiet. Very friendly owners. It is at the end of the development in a court. So zero traffic an noise. Will say the place could use a bit of a deep clean. Dust and cobwebs in lights, and those hard to reach places. Other than that we will be back!!! John

The location and size of the property were perfect for just my wife and I. Being there is only one bathroom, and accessed only by walking through the bedroom, I would think twice about using the fold-out for other people...but for a couple, it was great. I will say, they could REALLY use new kitchen ware. The 3 frying pans were ALL warped and forget about them being stick free. They were really bad. However, we really only used them for breakfast, so the issue wasn't show stopping. If expectations are managed, with seeing the cost and the pictures, it's a great property in a great location. My wife and I will certainly look at this exact property next year.....and perhaps bring our own frying pan!! ;-)

The bungalow was just okay

The unit was rather tired looking. Ants in kitchen quite often. The sliding doors don't lock. One had a pvc pipe in the bottom to prevent door from opening. But the bedroom door didn't. The screens on the doors also had holes. Which of course let mosquitoes in. You're on a pond/lagoon and there is no view off deck just very overgrown The couch and two chairs were very old and uncomfortable. The cushions were shot. Bed is firm but comfortable. Expect ants, palmetto bugs too. We won't be staying there again.

Location is perfect

The location and size of this Vrbo was perfect. The cleanliness and attention to detail was lacking. Although the owner arranged and informed us ahead of time that the unit would be cleaned we arrived to find that the unit was lacking cleanliness. It needed and hour plus of cleaning, dusting, and moping. Owner offered to send back cleaning service but after traveling 15+ hours we didn’t want to leave right after arriving. Unit also had lots of little details that could be improved. Silver wear was all mangled from going through garbage disposal, garbage area and outdoor shower was covered in poison ivy. The deck outside had a lot of rot on it and didn’t seem incredibly secure. Other than those issues the location and proximity to the beach were fantastic.

This place was perfect for myself, my husband and our small dog. The walk to the beach was just right, recommend a beach cart for all your stuff. Beach was quiet compared to Coligny but walkable In about 30 mins along the beach. Very clean and bigger than we imagined! We’d come back!

Sea Pines offers pure relaxation!

We stayed here for a week and couldn’t be happier with the location. This quaint bungalow is close to all the bars and restaurants you could want. The place comes with a community pool great for days you want to just cool down and not stay at the beach all day. The neighborhood was lovely and the people nearby were friendly. This was a great way for us to relax and unwind. The only things I would mention is the bed was very firm and in my opinion not the most comfortable situation. Aside from that everything else was just perfect! I’d definitely stay here again in the future! Also this is an amazing town for people who enjoy bike riding!’
