Much needed get away

Peggy was the most gracious hostess! We came in for a family reunion and this house did not disappoint! Peggy thinks of everything from all you could ever need in the kitchen to bikes and towels for the beach! She even had a side car for my niece who couldn’t ride due to injury. It was the perfect home for a much needed break. Wish we didn’t have to leave!

First time taking grands to HHI

Beautiful layout from the outdoor surroundings, to the spacious floor plan. Everything stocked—won’t need a thing. Used bikes, pool table, shuffleboard table, kayaks, ping pong, pool, hot tub everyday. Grandkids loved the toy closet every morning! And pool and hot tub was a perfect way to unwind to end a busy day! And the picturesque beach was only short walk away! Can’t say enough positives!

Wonderful week!

We had a wonderful week. We found the house to have everything we truly needed to have a great and enjoyable week for our whole family. The double masters were great for our older parents. The games, activities, bikes, pool, kayaks, were amazing for the kiddos. We loved the location and the property. The corner lot on the lagoon was beautiful and fun to fish and watch wildlife. The owners were very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful stay. I believe the 11-12 people would have a little bit more comfortable accommodations. But overall, what a wonderful stay and great hospitality!

Magnificent property with so many extras!

We had a wonderful stay at this home during spring break. The house was extremely well-stocked and included so many thoughtful extras that made our trip even more enjoyable. We biked every day on the bikes the owner provided.... there were so many! We also took advantage of the many kayaks that were provided for us to use. One of the highlights was the free shuttle transportation within the Palmetto Dunes grounds—we took advantage of it every day, including to and from the beach, and it made getting around so easy and stress-free. Peggy was incredibly easy to work with, checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed, and truly cared about our comfort. We felt right at home and appreciated all the attention to detail. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay in Hilton Head.

Great Stay at Hilton Head Island

Our family had a great stay at this beautiful home. We enjoyed the peace and quite the location provides at the end of a cul-de-sac. With that being said you are still very close to everything. We walked to the beach and biked to the tennis/pickleball courts multiple times. We spent a lot of time in the pool and on the screened in porch. We appreciated all of the extras that are included such as kayaks, bikes, and beach items. Nothing but good things come to mind with our stay.

My family stayed here a week in June. We had 5 kids ranging from 9-13 and they had a blast! So many options of things to do! The house was perfect, with spaces large enough for everyone to gather, but enough space that you didn’t feel you were on top of each other! The location is on the edge of Palmetto dunes so not a lot of traffic, which was perfect!

Perfect Family vacation with adult children.

We were happy to stay at this property for all of its amenities as well as the proximity to the beach. With 4 adult boys, my husband and I, my brother and my elderly parents there was plenty of activities and comfort for all. We got great use out of the pool, hot tub and game room. It was awesome to gather around the dining room table to eat meals together. The hosts were very helpful sending any piece of information needed and answering all of my questions in a timely manner as well as offering to help in any way needed. We are hoping to return to this property again in the future.

FABULOUS VACATION!!!

We had an extended family vacation including my senior parents(80s) and two adult children, their spouses and babies. We had an incredible time!! The house is simply beautiful! We cooked all our meals at the house, except for one, the entire week! The appliances were high end and the kitchen had everything I needed! With the pool, kayaks, bikes and close proximity to the beach, we had no need to leave the house for entertainment. It was wonderful being able to stay ‘home’ to accommodate three little ones’ nap times.

Perfect family vacation home!

The house was perfect for our family of six. There were loads of amenities to keep all of us entertained, especially as we were experiencing the remnants of Milton. The pool table room was a nice place to hang out after a day at the beach. The house is spacious and clean. Having two master suites was handy. The location was perfect as you were close to Coligny and all the restaurants. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!

A Week Among The Dunes

Our family, ages 12-75, enjoyed our stay on HHI in this beautiful home. Everyone had a comfortable bedroom, the screened in porch was a gathering place, we played games in the evening around the large wooden coffee table in the living area and the pool and hot tub were very refreshing for all. What a peaceful view of the lagoons and local wildlife. The kayaks were enjoyable and we caught fish from the dock. The pool table and bicycles were very popular, also. We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen by dining in every night. It was a wonderful week - we made memories to last a lifetime.

WOW; a wonderful vacation!

I am impressed. I was actually skeptical regarding all the 5* reviews but this is one of the best homes we have ever stayed in (20+ years regularly renting). The contact with the owner was outstanding; it was clean, big enough to fit everyone; plenty of space (extra refrigerator was handy). And SO much to do. We LOVED being on the waterway – it looked beautiful, it was peaceful & all of our group enjoyed the kayaks, pool, bikes, and hot tub. We brought some wagons and used the ones in the house to walk to the beach every day – the weather was perfect! We'd love to stay here again and highly recommend this rental. Thank you for letting us spend some really quality time with extended family. (before shopping...check out the house...there are LOTS of extras the host has provided!)
