Wonderful family vacation home!

This home is incredibly comfortable for multiple families to enjoy. There’s plenty of indoor seating, beds and outdoor lounge chairs to enjoy. The pool overlooking the lagoon is perfect, as well. We spent many hours visiting and letting the kids play. The ocean is a short walk away, and the Palmento Dunes resort was picturesque, safe and had amenities onsite like a cute general store with food, necessities and treats. We would definitely return to this special place!

Had a great experience really conveniently located near the beach nicer than the pictures. Only negatives are that the pool has a lot of debris due to the surrounding trees and the pool isn’t heated which made it pretty chilly at times but those were just minor things. Had a great time!!!!

Great rental

The property was just as described. Plenty of room for our 6 adults and 2 small children. Very nice kitchen and appliances. The added ice maker is a real convenience for trips to the beach. Beautiful deck, pool, gas grill and dock on the canal. The walk to the beach is very reasonable. We would recommend this house for a nice stay at HIlton Head.

Room to breath

The property is lovely! We enjoyed gathering in the large, well-equipped kitchen-keeping room area, as well as the living room area and outdoor pool area. The bedrooms are spacious as well. There’s a great game and reading cabinet too. Our family had plenty of room to spread out, and we had a great time. If you have children, you might want to make sure they wear shoes when going on the deck…the deck is a bit rough. Otherwise, the stay was perfect.

Second year visit

We enjoy this house. It is large enough to accommodate our two families of 4. Easy walk to the beach. Great area for kids to rise their bikes and get a little freedom. Pool is lovely. We like to paddle the lagoon as well. I was sad to see lots of dead fish floating this year. Part of living with us humans, I am afraid. This year we had a plumbing issue and it was cleared up right away. Thank you! The cleaning of the house was pretty bad this time around. Might want to follow up with your cleaning crew. Otherwise, great house!!

Desperate need of cleaning and basic maintenance

Interior paining needed especially on the ceilings where there has been water damage and around the air vents that have either black mold or dirt around them. Exterior needs cleaned. Just sweeping the decks & front porch prior to a new group arriving would be nice. Cleaning crew did a poor job prior to our stay. The wood floors had dirt under & around the beds & thick cobwebs in the corners . Bathroom shared by 2 bedrooms needs updated & cleaned. Master bath has been updated but needed cleaned. Master was the only bedroom with a tv. A vacation home should have a tv in each bedroom. A little basic maintenance & TLC would make this a great place to stay. Owner doesn’t seem to care about the property. We won’t stay there again.

Great location, very convenient & fit for our family

We loved the location, quick walk to the beach over the bridge. Luckily, we threw in our kids scooters at the last minute so for the kids it was a fun experience getting to the beach. 8 minute walk to the tennis courts and you are pretty close to the gate so it is easy to get to the grocery stores across the street. Loved the dock, we went fishing every night. The backyard is very pretty in general, a lot of wild life. Before we arrived we were concerned about the bedding, it looked very shabby online - but in person it was a lot nicer. The furniture in the common areas could be improved but it didn’t bother us. The kitchen is STOCKED - it has every pan, blender, crockpot that you could need. The house also has a ton of games & puzzles which our kids appreciated. We didn’t use the grill outside, there were quite a few palmetto bugs that seemed to think this was their domaine. Things that could be improved: the towel holder in the bathroom is still broken, the beds in both spare bedrooms are very squeaky and not that comfortable, the toilet seat in the spare bathroom also needs to be replaced. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. We had a wonderful week, loved the pool, the view in the backyard and the convenience of the location.

Fantastic

The flexible floor plan, amenities in home, very convenient location on lagoon, steps to beach, short walk to tennis, boogie boards and cinnamon rolls at Country Store, bikes, kayaks, pool, dock, grill, and every basic need we wanted in the house was there for us, from linens to TVs. Our 4 teenage grandsons had their bunk room with bath-perfect. While the home was well appointed, it was comfortable enough so that we did not have to walk on pins and needles, we could relax. Our whole family takes their shoes off at the door at home or away, minimizing sand on the wood floors. We could feel at ease and enjoy being in the home. The management team answered us promptly whenever we had a question. One adult had to work some while there hooked up to the WIFI. All of us had a fantastic vacation and we are still talking about it. Grandma Jan

Relaxing property

Our stay at this beautiful home was relaxing and fun. Everyone was taken aback with the beauty of the inside and outside. We spent a lot of time on the back porch area relaxing by the pool and watching all the wildlife. The pool and the house are much larger than we had expected. Our family of 11 had plenty of room to spread out. We would highly recommend this house and would love to come back in the future.

Beautiful, spacious home on the lagoon

My family stayed at this beautiful, spacious home on the lagoon with our 3 kids and grandparents. The pool was clean and well maintained. The kids loved the pool and the wildlife around the lagoon. We saw many herons and an alligator lazily swimming in the lagoon. The beach was a short walk across a bridge in the neighborhood. The grandparents liked it since it was a one level home with spacious rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and all the appliances were updated and top of the line. The neighborhood is in a gated community and very well maintained. Neighbors were friendly and welcoming. The owners were wonderful. They were always available and easily reachable and kept us updated via texts and emails. Definitely recommend to families with kids and grandparents. Hope to come back again in the future.

Perfect House for our Family Vacation

A great place to stay! Our 3 adult children all live in different states so we try to meet up each Spring for some family time together. Unfortunately we have not been able to travel for the last 2 years so It was very important to find a great place for all of us and we were not disappointed. I booked the home in September and when I went to pay my second payment in January I looked at the reviews and was a little skeptical since there were a few recent bad reviews. I emailed Jim and he assured me the owner was working on the items in question so I went ahead and kept the place and I am so glad we did. The back yard/pool area was great, there was a refrigerator by the outside grill so the grandkids (and big kids) didn't need to run in the house to grab a drink. The pool had lots of room for everyone (we had 10) There was plenty of sun and shady options to sit or lay out in. There was a place to hook up a hammock we had two and they fit perfectly by the trees close to the lagoon. We saw many beautiful birds while there, we even got to watch an egret grab a fish from the lagoon and eat it in a nearby tree. The house set up with 2 bedrooms on each side of the house with the kitchen and living rooms between was great for our family. The living room furniture was recently replaced and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook with for our big family. I did bring a griddle and Keurig coffee pot to help with our breakfast meals. We had just a couple hiccups that were not the properties fault, the garbage man didn't stop at our house and the pool heater didn't work for a day or so, both were resolved quickly with a text message to Jim. We rented bikes and enjoyed the many trails in the community. We all had a great time. ~Merri

We have been coming to this house for many years. It does need some updating at this point. Furniture in family room is very old and deck by the lagoon is almost unsafe at this point. We would love to come back but would recommend some updating.

Can't recommend

This rental appears to be purely an investment property -- that is not being invested in. The furniture is "tired" -- and that's putting it kindly. Very, very uncomfortable. The property desperately needs a pain job throughout. I did not report my following complaints about cleanliness because there would have been no point. The problem is the place needs to be deep cleaned. The floors, for example, had been mopped -- but not really cleaned. I hate to complain because I don't think the issue is the cleaning crew. They tidy up and spot clean in the time they are given -- but there's no serious cleaning going on. That's not their fault. Some kitchen items need replaced -- coffee pot is on its last leg and the mixer works erratically. The deck is lovely. The neighborhood is lovely. I would say it's more than a 5-minute walk to the beach if you have small children and gear, but it's not far. In a nutshell, for the money we paid, we expected more comfort and much cleaner facilities. Finally, check- in was a cluster. The gate house said they didn't have us registered. Had to get out of the long line and call the property manager. Representative insisted the passes were waiting for us. They were not. Finally got things straightened out -- the fault was not with the gate house, but rather the property manager/owner. All very frustrating - had 2 toddlers in tow and had just made a 13-hour drive. The process literally took 40 minutes and involved getting in and out of line twice. I have never posted this sort of review before. But our experience was not pleasant.

We love Palmetto Dunes, having stayed there for the past 7 years. This was our first time to rent on the canal. The wildlife was special for the 5 grandchildren. Having all the rooms on one floor made keeping up with grandkids so much easier. Easy walking distance to the general store made for good memories. The house was well equipped to serve the 11 of us. The bunk bed room was a hit for all of the cousins. The other 3 rooms were good for the adults. Cooking in the kitchen was easy with all of the items found in and around the large kitchen. The pool overlooking the canal was a great place to relax after a busy day at the beach. We will return to Palmetto Dunes again and would consider renting here again. Thank-you !
