This was our 20 trip to HHI. Fifteen of those have been with our daughters, son-in-laws, and now 5 grandchildren. We usually start counting the day's until next year. This house has been the best in many ways. Great communication with Gordon, and the property was right on target as described. Already planning for next year. ONWARD & UPWARD!

Family vacation for 50th Anniversary

If you read any of the other wonderful reviews…just ditto that. Property and hosts were magnificent! Every thing was exactly how it was described and best ever equipped for a beach trip. The wildlife in the backyard of deer, and a bald eagle were a plus.

Annual Generational Getaway

Even though there were 6 adults and two toddlers, we had so much space (with room for a few more). The week was beautiful and the house exceeded our expectations. The host was super easy to communicate with, the home was very clean and well-stocked, the location was perfect--literally a 2 minute walk down a beachy path to the most amazing portion of beach--the pool was refreshing on hot afternoons, and we enjoyed grilling and putt-putting right in the backyard. We hope to stay again when we return to Hilton Head. Our only complaint is that we only had 7 days.

Great family vacation

We were a family of grandparents, children and grandchildren. We loved the location - only a few minutes was to the beach. Also the beach was fairly private - you could tell it was much less crowded than the public beach farther down. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The listing says it has service for 12, but there is a lot more plates, cups and silverware than that. No need to bring your own. We all loved the pool and the very private back yard. The owners respond very quickly with any questions you have.

We've been vacationing on HHI every other summer for 40 years renting condos at Seascape on S. Forest Beach. This was the first time we've booked a house as we had extended family (3 generations) joining us this time. The house was incredible! From initial booking to follow up, Gordon's communication was prompt and excellent. We had 7 adults, 3 children plus a toddler. The house included everything we needed...Plenty of rooms/baths, crib, pool and beach toys and carts, grill, bikes, plus many household items to make us feel right at home! The beach is literally just a few minutes walk from the house. The Palmetto Dunes area is absolutely beautiful. Fun times at the pool, on the beach, bike riding, shopping, restaurants, evenings on the screened porch....everything you need for a great vacation! The overhead osprey nest and daily backyard visits from the deer were an added bonus. Thank you Gordon for sharing your home with us! We'll definitely book again for '27 (assuming our family doesn't grow too fast!) lol

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed in Hilton Head and rented homes in Palmetto Dunes for about 6 years before we purchased 18 Mooring Buoy. We found the area to be an ideal vacation spot for families especially with children and/or grandchildren. This location is private yet within walking distance to world class golf course, world class tennis facility and much more.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. We are a 2.5 minute walk to the beach, 2 minute walk to the PD tennis and pickleball court center, 3 minute walk to Trent Jones Golf Course and 3 minute walk to restaurants. The ocean, private pool and spa are magnets for all. We enjoy bike rides throughout Palmetto Dunes, boating on the lagoons, tennis, grilling outside and dining in our favorite restaurants. We provide bikes, kayaks, corn hole, putting green, screened porch, private sun deck, private heated pool, SPA and every kitchen utensil you can imagine.
