The condo was perfect for Hubby and I traveling with our two small fur babies. Great location, small enclosed yard for our pups made them more at home. We had everything we needed. Condo was confortable and centrally located. Rode our bikes to beach. Judith was quick to respond and accommodating. We will return.
Very nice setting with great walking/biking trails and access to golf courses/tennis/pickleball Only miss was noise- from the condo above. Noise insulation is poor.
We had an awesome stay with our 2 dogs! Great walking trails for our daily walks. We were close to many great restaurants and the beach! Would recommend Judy's place for a small family, especially with pets!
Host was very responsive and accommodating.
Condo was perfect for my husband and I to sleep and shower during our vacation with family. Location was very convenient to all activities and restaurants.
I would definitely stay here again. Short walks to the beach, Shelter Cove, restaurants and shopping. Great wooded view to the golf course makes it seem very private. Very clean and comfortable. French doors open up to a nice enclosed patio. Great community pool area as well.
We stayed here last year as well. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Perfect location. Judy is always very accommodating and helpful. We will return next year.
Second time staying at this property. Clean well cared for and easy access to activities around the area. Owner is very responsive and cares that her guests are comfortable.
We’ve always stayed in Palmetto Dunes but have never before experienced Saint Andrews Commons. Wow! This is the best and exceptionally pet friendly!Condo was superb and well appointed. Perfect location to easily get anywhere on the island. This is our absolute favorite now! Can’t wait to return. Thanks Judy! You’re an amazing host!
1668 St. Andrews Common was clean as a whistle. Good location for off-beach with fenced area for pets. Wonderful area outside the fence for small dogs to run if well trained.
We’ve been visiting HHI for 30 years! The condo was fantastic! The whole process with booking with Judy was awesome! She checked in with us a few times during our stay! Our dog loved it to! Will definitely return!
Thanks Judy!

So glad you enjoyed it! And thanks to you for helping take care of the property during tropical storm Elsa.
Booking and communication were very easy. Judy is very quick to respond. There was no problem checking in or any issues with the condo. It was exactly as pictured. We enjoyed family time and bringing our dog for our vacation in Hilton Head.
Judy, the landlord, is highly responsive, a great communicator and really is dog-friendly as advertised. The unit is well located and very functional despite its small size. Mattress and pillows were very good, and the MBR has a dog bed. There is a covered entryway where you can store your golf clubs or bikes safely and dog areas surround the property. Premium channels on TV and internet is good. Lovely stay in a great location.

Lovely property, great location….but
We enjoyed our stay. Property was close to everything. The resort attached was well maintained. Our only complaint would be that this unit felt a little down at the heels. Could use a fresh coat of paint and updated appliances and shower curtain, for example. I know the unit is dog friendly and we appreciated that. But we’ve stayed in many dog friendly vacation rentals that were far better maintained.

The shower curtain and liner were replaced right after your stay. Thank you for calling it to my attention. The entire unit will be repainted inside as soon as peak season is over. As for appliances, all are currently in good working condition and will be replaced/updated as needed in the future for the comfort & convenience of guests.
Lovely historic property, mature teees, well groomed property. Loved the first floor accomodations with private back patio and easy accessnto ground level to walk the dog. Plenty of home amenities for your comfort. No need to bring supplemental bath towels, dish towels, beach towels...everything is ready to go for your comfort. The owner was just always lovely to communicate with and responsive to any questions. The Dune Buggy service is THE way to go to the beach... so just bring tip money if you are a tipper like we are...

Condo needs attention, but location is great
We were excited to have the option of a dog friendly condo in a great location in Palmetto Dunes. The condo needs attention from the owner. A thorough cleaning and some decluttering and furniture updates would be a good start. Everything just seemed a little worn out and neglected. We have stayed at many places and feel we overpaid for this level of cleanliness even after taking into consideration the pet friendly circumstance. Owner has offered a discounted return stay, but I don’t see us taking advantage of that.

About the host
Hosted by Judith Wilburn
I am originally from North Carolina --- a Tar Heel, graduate of UNC -- and am a retired educator. I came to love the Low Country while spending much of my adult life in Savannah, where I owned a condo at Tybee Island. I now live in Bluffton, SC, and enjoy spending time with my dog at Hilton Head beaches.
Why they chose this property
I sold my condo at Tybee Island and bought at Hilton Head because of the beautiful beaches that are dog-friendly. I wanted to own a rental property where guests could have their pets with them. I found Hilton Head attractive because of the variety of outdoor activities available, the cleanliness of the beaches, and the abundance of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities easily accessible at Palmetto Dunes. The proximity of the Coastal Carolina Arts Center at Shelter Cove is a plus for me, and I encourage guests to check out what is being offered there at the time of your visit.
What makes this property unique
My description of this property reflects how much I value the opportunity to enjoy nature in a peaceful, wooded setting at St. Andrew's, while being only a few min. from the ocean. The enclosed patio is my favorite part of this villa!
