Have stayed in Palmetto Dunes for 30 plus years this is the best condo. We have ever had. Everything you need. Comfortable beds and the recliners are wonderful! Fabulous view. Owners responsive east check in and out! We will be back.
Loved the ocean views, the beach and the pool. The property was clean and ready for our arrival. Check in access was simple, host was great, responsive and accommodating. We will definitely come back and would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Hilton Head.
This vacation spot was the best. We had everything we needed . 3 bedrooms with king beds in two of them and the bonus were the two queen beds in the third bedroom. My grandchildren are use to queen beds at home and they always end up in a twin so they loved it. The elevator and hotel cart made the trip to the 3rd floor so easy! I loved the heated pool and access to the beach was so easy and my husband has a bad knee. Will definitely stay here again!

I am so pleased you loved the condo and I enjoyed hosting you on your first visit to Hilton Head Island! You are a lovely guest and are welcome to return to Captain's Walk 413 anytime!
The accommodations were excellent, and we had no problems. Great beach access and nice pool. Close to center of Palmetto Dunes activities.
The week went well and our party (6 adults, 3 kids) left happy.
Thanks!
We have been coming to Hilton Head for a number of years and Captains Walk 413 is my favorite condo. The owners are very friendly and easy to work with. Enjoyed the view and short walk to the beach. Will return. Everything was great!

Thank you so much for leaving such a positive review! You are welcome back anytime!
There were 5 adults and one teenager in our group. The condo is outstanding. Each bedroom has a bathroom, and the primary bathroom is lovely. Oceanfront, less than five minute walk out onto the beach. We biked to everything, including the grocery store and breakfasts out. Furniture very comfortable and balcony view superb! Highly recommend!

It was my pleasure to host such a wonderful group! Thank you for taking the time to review and recommend our villa!

We loved the location of this condo. Very close to the beach. We could sit on the balcony and watch the beach or all the wildlife in the backyard (birds, rabbits, and deer!) We loved the entire community! We rode bikes to explore and went to the general store several times.
The set up in the bedrooms were perfect for our family. Having multiple beds in two rooms work so much better for us.
It is not a “high rise” resort so it’s more laid back and we love that.
We rented umbrella chairs several days and it was affordable and very convenient. Everyone was so friendly.
The only thing that we noticed is we didn’t have great phone reception in parts of the condo but that could be our provider because our son didn’t have that problem.
This was our first time in Hilton Head and after exploring the island, Palmetto Dunes was our favorite area and we will be going back!
This was a great place and I would recommend!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Disappointed with unit.
The location is ideal as it's right on the beach and there are wonderful bike and walking paths nearby. In addition, the owner was very nice and professional. However, upon check-in we encountered an issue with a strong odor in a bathroom and bedroom. The odor smelled like either a pet had been kept in the rooms (cat odor?), OR, it could have been more chemical in nature. The odor was so strong that the bedroom could not be slept in. In other words, we paid for a 3 bedroom but got a 2 bedroom. On top of this, there was a leak in the ceiling from either the frig, ice maker, or air conditioning unit from the unit above 413. The leak was not as concerning as we understand that things can happen.
However, back to the odor. The owner contacted the management company. I waited all day Sunday for someone to come but no one came. Monday, Ron came by early who walked into the bathroom and bedroom with me and he immediately agreed that there was a strong odor. This visit was followed up the next day by someone from the management company who did a walk through while we were at the beach. Evidently the company rep said the odor was not bad, which we disagree with. IT WAS VERY OVERWHELMING AND PRESENT THE ENTIRE WEEK. The management company did offer to give us another unit, however, where it was located was not disclosed. The bottom line was we did not want to move as I am recovering from back surgery and the thought of moving everything again was too much to deal with. In addition, we stayed at Captains Walk because we were with 4 other families - all staying there as well. We wanted to be close to them. Later in the week two other women did come again and do a walk through while we were though. One of them was very dismissive and rather abrupt. She could have been a bit more pleasant since we were paying for a 3 bedroom, and again, using only 2 because of the odor.
The main bedroom, 2nd bedroom, and living room are nicely furnished. The kitchen is well stocked. However, the unit could use a good cleaning. For example, the headpost on the bed was very dusty. There were bars of soap - with hair sticking to them - left in two bathrooms which we found at check-in. The baseboards need wiped down as well. The area rugs need cleaned or replaced.
In closing, I'm giving the unit a 3 rating, only because the owner was very nice and attentive.

Captain's Walk 413 is a beautiful, renovated, 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo in Palmetto Dunes. We have many repeat guests who have built a relationship that is based on trust and respect. I invite them to join our online CW413 friends and family group to receive discounts (often $400 - $600, a 2 week stay received a $792 discount) and updates on projects I have planned for the next year. Our trusted guests share their favorite amenities and suggest ways I can improve their stays the following year. The beautiful state-of-the-art walk in shower with shower system was designed to assist our valued guests who often travel with elderly parents or grandparents who need a walk in shower with a hand held shower head.
Please read ALL reviews on VRBO, and the other online rental site that starts with an A or do a search for CW413 online. The first time I heard from Debbie, she said that only 3 of the 5 people would be able to stay at Captain's Walk and she felt she should not pay for a 3 bedroom. Then, she said there was a bad smell like cats. I sent the property manager to the unit to investigate the smell Debbie claimed in the 3rd bedroom and bathroom. The property manager said it smelled like new construction and cleaning products. There were 4 additional service calls made by Debbie. I accompanied one of the property managers on a service call and took photos of the bedroom and bathroom she claimed were unusable. The bathroom had personal items in the shower and all over the sink and dirty towels on the floor. The bed had clearly been slept in. Her claims that the 3rd bedroom and bathroom were unusable were not true. The only smell I detected was the new construction. This was my first experience with a guest claiming a mysterious smell to try to get money returned or threaten to leave a bad review.
this condo is very cozy and welcoming. It does not feel fancy or too modern… It really feels like a beachside place. I personally like that.
The space is well laid out and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owner provided excellent communication.
I will say that there are a few small issues to know about. I messaged the owner about a little bit of care that needed to be taken with burnt out lightbulbs etc. First of all there are no condiments… I mean no salt, no pepper, no coffee filters etc. anywhere in the condo. Bring everything that you need in the kitchen including dishwashing detergent. The starter supplies are exactly what they say… Starter supplies. For a weeks day you will need to bring paper towels toilet paper etc.
The view was outstanding! The condo was well-maintained and clean. We enjoyed the new bathrooms and comfortable furniture. The kitchen had everything we needed.
We had a great time and enjoyed the updated interior and the new bathrooms. The condo was very clean and the furniture was very comfortable. Loved the recliners! Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back!
Enjoyed our week at Captains Walk 413. Property has a great view of the ocean from the patio. Comfy furniture--especially the 2 recliners! Property managers were responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again😎
Plenty of space for 6 adults! We did fit a crib in one of the rooms, and it worked out just fine.
We enjoyed the beach chairs and tent available, too.
The view each morning is fantastic. The walk to the pool and beach (a short boardwalk away) was amazing, especially with kids and STUFF!
The kitchen was a little tight for 6 adults but we managed just fine!
The owners were incredibly responsive and we have no doubt we will be back!
