Heads Carolina Tails California · Bluffton SC vacation rental

A blue door, a front porch, and Old Town Bluffton down the street.

Bluffton Park · Old Town Bluffton

Laid-back Lowcountry, all on one quiet street.

Heads Carolina, Tails California is a bright, one-story home in Bluffton Park, a short walk from the shops, galleries, and coffee of Old Town Bluffton.

Start the morning on the front porch while the neighborhood wakes up. Walk the kids to the fishing pond next door to look for turtles, or to the Oscar Frazier Park splash pad on a hot afternoon. Then come home to teal tones, beachy art, a full kitchen, and two big smart TVs for movie night.

It sleeps four with a king room and a twin room, two full bathrooms, laundry, and a backyard with a patio. It's an easy, comfortable base for a family trip, a couple's getaway, a work stay, or a beach week on a budget.
