Again, I truly appreciate your understanding on the miscommunication with my cleaning crew and that the house was not ready upon your arrival. In the 7 years as a rental property that has never happened and I am so sorry for the inconvenience. I was definitely embarrassed and glad we were able to get them there immediately to rectify the situation.

We enjoyed this house with the pool, hot tub, ping pong table and we utilized the grill twice The inside of the house is very nice! Three bedrooms, 3 baths and we had 7 of our family so it worked really well! The host was very responsive with her communications. My complaint was the timing of our visit where their pool company and grounds company had not come and tons of leaves in pool, on deck, garbage blown around the stairs. It was cleaned up later so all good. Outside of the house is more run down, railing to house not in good shape and maybe they could spend a small amount of money to buy new ping pong paddles and balls :) but overall we were very happy with this house.

Great house stocked with everything you may need. We felt location was perfect - neighborhood is stunning to walk or bike and beach access (.52mi) was easy to either walk or bike. House has a bunch of bikes to use, puzzles, games, beach cart, etc. The dock was nice to nature watch (we had blue heron that kept us company next to dock). The communication with Mike (prop manager) owners was fantastic and resolutions for minor issues were near immediate. I would stay here again, we really enjoyed it.

The property was as described and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the shade provided by the under house area. Very nice perk having a refrigerator there. The neighborhood was quiet and the yard offered privacy. The kitchen was very well supplied. The house overall was very comfortable. The only thing we could have asked for is a toilet downstairs for pool days. The walk to the beach is pretty long in the heat of summer.

The neighborhood of this home was beautiful and quiet. The location to to beach was definitely bailable and an enjoyable ride. The layout of the home is great. The home could use some updating as some areas look tired, specifically the bathrooms. The king beds are comfortable however, the curtains are too small for the door and can’t be closed fully. It would also be nice to have ceiling fans in all bedrooms. The pool/ hot tub is nice but the heating far is unreasonable..600 for 4 days. We did have a significant issue with the guest bathroom as the shower handle broke off when trying to turn it off and the water could t be turned off. The homeowner was quick to get it fixed for us.

Thank you for your review. We continue to strive to ensure our home is up to date and well maintained. Most furnishings are brand new in the last 18 months and we pride ourselves on making our guests feel at home in all of the spaces. I am glad we were able to quickly resolve the bath issue immediately. Unfortunately the cost of propane is expensive and we understand that is a choice our guests have to make during the cooler months. We appreciate your feedback and thanks for staying with us.

We loved this beautiful home and it immediately felt like home to our entire family. It was tastefully and simply decorated. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would normally need to prepare and enjoy meals together. It was close to the beach and we took full advantage of the bikes which were provided. The pool and entertainment area were great- especially considering we had several days of un-Hilton Head like weather. Loved the home!

Spring Break Trip to HHI

We had a great stay in HHI! The property was better in person than the pictures show (which doesn't happen often). Mike, the property manager was very responsive and checked in on us a few times throughout our stay. The bikes in the garage were definitely a huge bonus as we were able to bike everywhere! We especially loved just relaxing in the back yard fishing from the dock, feeding birds (almost right out of our hands) and swimming! We will definitely be back!!! Wonderful property and hosts!

Host profile image
My husband and I just purchased this home in August 2022 and are so excited to have you as our guests! We currently reside in the suburbs of Chicago, but have made Hilton Head an annual vacation destination for our family for many years. We love everything about the island - the weather, the beaches, the endless bike rides and I can't forget the golf! It has always been a dream of ours to have a home in Hilton Head that we could escape to and now that dream has come true!

Why they chose this property

We hope that you will fall in love with this home just like we have. Whether you enjoy relaxing in your own private pool, digging your toes in the sand at the beach, kayaking or fishing this house has it all! We love the private community feel of Palmetto Dunes, the countless amenities and of course the shopping and dining options at Shelter Cove.

This home is ready for you to enjoy and make memories that will last a lifetime!

What makes this property unique

A family resort designed to make lasting memories. Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is located at the heart of Hilton Head Island, named the #1 Beach Town in the US by Parents Magazine. Palmetto Dunes’ three miles of sun-kissed Atlantic Ocean beachfront provide the perfect venue for three world-class golf courses, vacation rentals, a full-service marina, and an 11-mile lagoon system. The resort enjoys a well-earned reputation for creating unforgettable vacation experiences for the entire family. It’s no coincidence, as vacationers return year after year, many decide to make Palmetto Dunes their permanent residence.
