13 Man 'O War was very clean and well prepared. Loved the location. The house and pool were great. We had no problems and enjoyed our stay.

Thanks so much for exceptional service and a wonderful house. We so appreciated all of your help! We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.

Our stay was awesome! We enjoy ourselves every time we stay at Oceans Gem and it was only 4 of us! Perfect getaway for our family!

This house was the perfect set up for a family vacay and absolutely lovely. You can relax at the pool while looking at the beautiful dunes and ocean just steps away. It was so nice to be so close to the ocean you can just go back and forth as needed. The owner equipped this house with everything you could possibly imagine. We even had a deer visit us in the back yard. You won’t regret renting this place.

The professionals at Destination Vacation RESPOND to any NEED that you might encounter. We have rented properties from "DV" for many years. Our "fave" property is 13 Man O War. It is total "PERFECTION". The only thing that could "IMPROVE" our stay would be......to NOT have to LEAVE!!

We enjoyed our stay very much at 13 Man of War. As my son broke his foot and had to use crutches , I appreciated very much you allowing us to use the elevator throughout our stay. We were sorry for the jar sitting next to murphy bed which broke and you kindly covered it by the insurance. Contact with your office was very easy and help very prompt Thanks.

13 Man O War..."Ocean's Gem"..is a PREMIER rental home. After 2-3 weeks in that HOME you do NOT want to GO BACK HOME! 1st Class appliances, furnishings, and all of the "accoutrements" that you could ever want. The infinity edge POOL is "PRICELESS"!!

 

Guest:  Donald S.

Date:  June 16,2019

Location of our rental was superior. Having bathrooms for all bedrooms was a real plus. We had a wonderful family reunion!

We have been coming to Hilton Head for fall break for over 18 years and have stayed at multiple houses. This was our first time on Palmetto Dunes. We loved the area, the beach was great, and the house was wonderful. Spacious and well equipped. Everyone who came agreed this was now one of their favorite homes. My Aunt and cousin from England always accompany us on these trips and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Nice house for elderly people. The patio by the downstairs master bedroom was the favorite hangout. The view of the beach was fabulous and the sunrises spectacular. We did have a little excitement with the 11 PM tornado alert ( nice basement for such events). We would definitely reserve this house again. We have never had issues with Destination Vacation and we would highly recommend them.

Fantastic home. Leave your beach tents at home. You are on the beach while sitting by the pool. Everything you could wish for is provided and then some. Overly equipped kitchen, quality kitchenware and appliances. Unbelievable views from most every room AND from the Large infinity pool. Home is very well sound insulated. Quiet section of Palmetto Dunes. Would have liked a couple of pool side patio umbrellas for shade during heat of the day. Thanks Kathleen for your attention to detail.

13 Man O’ War is a stunningly beautiful property. It is a large luxurious home with many amenities. It is a wonderfully maintained property but things can and do go wrong. I needed to make a couple of calls to the DV office and I could not have been more pleased with their quick response to everything! It didn’t matter if it was a question about how something worked or to report a malfunction. Each phone call or issue was handled immediately. I wish DV could manage my home in Chicago. Really a pleasurable stay from start to finish. Gorgeous home.

We had a few issues during the week with the a/c - staff at Destination Vacation were courteous, prompt and understanding. Issues dealt with and resolved! Amazing group of folks!

We love Ocean's Gem it was our third time staying there. Everything is top notch and the view can't be beat. Destination Vacation makes it all simple and easy so you can just enjoy Hilton Head.

Excellent house, expert service from Destination Vacation.  We love staying in Palmetto Dunes.

 

Guest:  Norma N.

Date:  September 13, 2016

The home was absolutely beautiful and well equipped. Met my family's needs perfectly. Would have liked to have had a table on the patio by the pool. This is the first time we have been on the ocean - all other places were second row. Loved it! Was impressed with dealing with Destination. Also, first time ever that you could actually talk to the owner. We have a whole family vacation on Hilton Head every other year and unless the size of our family grows too much, we will consider coming back to 13 Man Of War.

Note from Owner of "Ocean's Gem" at 13 Man O'War:

It is always a pleasure to have delightful guests like these folks were.  They cared for my home as if it were their own.  I had not known that the new table had not been set up (the previous guest left the umbrella up and tipped and broke the last one) or I would have intervened! The new table is a lovely Pier 1 wicker dining table with a bench on one side, 2 armed end chairs and 2 side chairs.  Sorry Norma! I know that the bar stools and eating area around the grill are a bit high for the wee ones.

Please come again and if your family gets bigger I have another lovely, bigger oceanfront that sleeps 23 called Sandpiper's Nook (see Destination’s 6 bedroom section). My family prefers Sandpiper’s Nook but I like Ocean's Gem best!

 

"Stunning"
Guest Review from December, 2014

This property is unbelievable! The ocean views make for the most beautiful sunrises. The Ocean's Gem is properly named as it provides luxurious amenities in a environment that could not be more relaxing. No detail was overlooked in the planning of this beautiful home. I will not soon forget my stay at the Ocean's Gem and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

 

"Spectacular - A Perfect Christmas at the Beach"
Guest Review from December, 2014

This home was nothing short of incredible. The whole experience at the house provided us with quite a memorable Christmas. The amenities are truly first class and are exactly what one desires in a 5 star beach house. The pool and spa were hassle free and stunning, the upstairs rooms provided breathtaking views and sunlight in the morning, and the living quarters of the home are great for a large group to sit back relax and spend time together. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation on Hilton Head Island.

 

"Ocean's Gem Indeed"
Guest Review from November 23, 2014

This is such a beautiful home. Grand, elegant, stunning ocean front location yet warm, welcoming and homey. From the moment we walked in we all felt at home. There are so many unique features. Our favorite was the large suspended TV which could be turned for viewing in any direction. The lap of luxury is where you will find yourself here. We will definitely be back.

 

"Spectacular"
Guest Review from September 27, 2014

This secluded beauty had everything promised..and more. While eating in the dining room we spotted a deer near the backyard. While biking one evening we saw a male and female anhinga roosting by a nearby lagoon while an alligator floated by. Green Heron, osprey, kingfisher were also spotted. Very little traffic and great biking trails. The home was comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, the kitchen well equipped, the fixtures and appliances top notch and conveniently located.

 

"Family Fun"
Guest Review from September, 2014

This is a beautiful property. It has amazing views from the living room & 3 of the 5 bedrooms. It is very clean & well maintained. The home is beautifully furnished. The owner is great to work with, & I would definitely stay in this property again & would recommend it to friends & family.
