Spa was full of leaves most of the time, disappointed we did not get to use it more after paying a premium! Was not aware of the VRBO additional charge until too late to cancel/change to a different property. Felt that it was not well advertised that there was a charge for using VRBO. All in all, the house was beautiful and just the right size for our group. It was well appointed for an elevated homey feel. Other than the two extra charges it was a good value. I will look closer at the listings in the future.

Perfect for a Holiday Gathering!

Our family rented this beautiful home for the week of Thanksgiving. From the moment we first inquired about the property to the last day of our stay- we were more than impressed! It is very luxurious. The kitchen is well stocked, the pool and hot tub are private, the bedrooms are very nice with great beds, the living room is big enough for a large family gathering and the bike ride to the general store / beach is so much fun! You will love staying here!

Amazing home and neighborhood

Perfect vacation home for couples or families. Each bedroom affords your own private space. Everything updated, clean, and beautifully decorated. This is a very spacious home. Palmetto Dunes is the most beautiful and fun neighborhood on the island. Our group of nine, would most definitely rebook and recommend!

Excellent property

Extremely well furnished and most comfortable house. The kitchen, in particular, was better equipped than any other VRBO property we've ever rented. The location was quite convenient and very quiet. No fault of the owner or VRBO, but we don't enjoy being paired with strangers when playing golf, which is standard practice at the better Hilton Head courses, so doubt we'll return.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at 3 Starboard Tack! The house had everything we needed. We have never stayed in a rental property with such a well-stocked kitchen. The ping pong table provided hours of fun. I highly recommend renting bikes with a cart to get the beach. It’s a very quick bike ride and you can bring your bikes on to the beach with you. Plantation Dunes is a very nice community and if we go back to Hilton Head, we would rent this property again.
