Everything was perfect, comfortable, and the AC was fantastic, on the best setting. Just need more kitchen utensils and a clean cloth. Need more white glasses

We're so glad to hear about your experience. Comfort makes all the difference, and it's great to know the home delivered on that front and kept you cool throughout your stay. Thank you for the notes on the kitchen supplies as well. We've passed that along to our team so we can make sure the space is better stocked going forward. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
The host was great to work with and was responsive. The home was in a great location and was an excellent home for our family.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear the home worked well for your family and that you enjoyed the great location. We also appreciate your kind words about our team's responsiveness. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Visited with 6 adults 7/5-7/11/26. Home is somewhat dated but good location and layout with private pool. Approximately 15 minute walk to beach but used complimentary Palmetto Dunes shuttle which made trip a breeze especially with cooler/chairs/etc. On arrival the power to pool pump was off but after contacting host this was corrected. Home was well stocked with beach supplies including cart/umbrellas/cooler and chairs. With some updates and continued maintenance this home is a good value and as our adult children stated “it feels like home”. Also convenient to PD Golf courses.

When adult children say "it feels like home," you know a place has struck the right note, and that might be the best kind of feedback we could ask for. We're glad the location, layout, and private pool worked well for your group of six, and that the complimentary Palmetto Dunes shuttle made those beach trips easy with all the gear in tow. Good to hear the home was well stocked with beach supplies too, and that our team got the pool pump sorted quickly after you reached out. Your notes on updates and maintenance have been passed along so we can keep the home at its best. Thank you for the thoughtful review, and we'd love to welcome your family back anytime.
We enjoyed our stay very much and it was in a great location.

We apologize that the pool and master bathroom did not meet expectations. Cleanliness is very important to us, and we’ve shared your comments with our housekeeping and maintenance teams to ensure both the pool and bathroom areas receive more thorough attention moving forward.

It’s a great property for hanging out with friends or family with many different activities to partake in. Also is a good location that is close to many different restaurants.
Beautiful home and lots of fun things to do while you are there (pool, pool table, ping pong table). Close to the beach and bike friendly. Excited to go back.

It’s fantastic that the location was close to the beach and bike-friendly. We’re excited to hear you’re looking forward to coming back, and we can’t wait to welcome you again!
It was just what we were looking for and the house was as clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Would recommend this home to all family and friends.
We had a great family vacation. The house had everything we needed. The pool area was so nice. The pool table and ping pong tables gave us something else to do when needing a break from sun. Would definitely stay here again!!

Hi Brian, It’s awesome to hear that the house was perfect for your needs! It sounds like it met all your expectations. Thanks for sharing your experience!
We stayed at this property for a wedding with friends. The property is great, and the neighborhood is perfect. The property management responded super quickly to our request for towels. It had everything we needed for our visit and exceeded our expectations!

wonderful property, neighborhood, and community. The property is well maintained and the property management was excellent from booking to inquiries about area activities. The back yard is peaceful. The beach is easily accessed within a few minutes ride. My whole family enjoyed it and hope to stay here again!!

Nice house great location. Wifi was not great and not a secure network. Avant Stay had everything you could possibly need. short distance to the beach and tennis/pickle ball facility. I would recommend this house inPalmetto

Hi Bruce, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the house and its location! We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the Wi-Fi, and we'll look into improving its reliability and security. It's great to know that Avant Stay provided everything you needed and that you appreciated the proximity to the beach and tennis/pickleball facilities. Thank you for the recommendation, and we'd love to host you again in Palmetto!
We absolutely loved this home. It was less than 5 minutes bike ride to the beach, and we rode our bikes each morning to breakfast at some nearby places. The pool, pool table, ping pong table and more kept all of our teenage and college age boys occupied. The house was lovely!
House and location was great. House was very clean, came with everything we needed, plenty of space to relax with the family. Pool was very nice. My only criticism would be counter space in master bath and the location of the 4th bedroom being also where the laundry is and where you walk through from the garage. Overall, we were very pleased with the house and our stay and would stay here again. Thank you

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Jack! We're so glad you enjoyed the house, location, and pool. We appreciate your suggestions about the master bath counter space and the 4th bedroom layout—it's always helpful to hear ways we can improve. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! Thank you again for staying with us.
Great house and location. Enjoyed the back porch and pool loungers. Beach was close enough to bike easily. Pool table was fun and used by several in our group. The pool had lost nearly 2 feet of water after a pump issue and we lost a couple days of use. It was addressed by the pool service but water so cold we couldn’t swim. Good dining areas for group. Overall great spot!!

Nice home and lovely setting
Great place for large family. Pool table and large dining room table were especially fun/useful. Wonderful sitting room for 4, overlooking the outdoor pool and adjoining lagoon. Garage entertainment options were a nice surprise…. Check-in was difficult, since Avanstay had only allocated 1 parking pass and security guard was inflexible… Kitchen could use more basic stuff like large spoons, roasting pan, new soap dispenser, etc. Master bathroom toilet handle on last legs. Couple outdoor chairs broken… Overall, very nice home with some small hiccups.

Thank you, Elysia! We're glad to hear the space worked well for your large family and that the pool table, dining room table, and garage entertainment options were a hit. We appreciate you pointing out the areas where we can improve, such as the kitchen supplies and maintenance issues, and we’ll make sure to address those. We also apologize for the check-in experience and will work on making that process smoother for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to host you again soon!
It was a lovely house and very clean. The company renting it was amazing. There were only two ping pong paddles and they got us more. They also found something I left behind and mailed to to me. They responded within about 10 minutes. This was extraordinary and greatly appreciated. The house and the pool were lovely. The only thing to note is that the bunk beds are sized for kids, so they are tough to use for grown-ups.
The home spacious and clean. Sitting area by the windows over the pool is an excellent place to enjoy morning coffee and to enjoy a drink in the evening. The pool is very nice (can be a bit chilly, it’s not heated). We had a great view of wildlife, deer, turtles, raccoons, squirrels, birds and a quick view of an alligator. We needed some assistance from the property manager, Rueben, when we arrived and he responded immediately and was at the home to help us in less than an hour. Great service! This is a great location for families, not far from the beach. It’s about a 15 minute walk, but if you’re taking smaller children and chairs, colder, umbrella, etc. you’ll want to drive to the beach. Parking is convenient and free for Palmetto Dunes guests. Highly recommend this location.

Spacious, but dated and dirty Palmetto Dunes Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Hilton Lagoon. Leading up to our stay and getting settled the first few days the property manager, Avantstay, was very helpful and friendly. The home is in a great neighborhood in Palmetto Dunes. Biking distance to everything. With any gear, the beach is a short 3min drive or 10min bike ride. The home is nice and spacious, and had ample beds for our family of 9. We enjoyed all the amenities, and our kids especially enjoyed the pool, air hockey, and pool table. The master suite, in particular, was very nice. Our only complaints were that it wasn’t very clean…empty beer cans in the garage, pool was dirty, floors and kitchen were dirty (broken soap dispenser, etc.)…and it’s a little dated…kitchen is small and dated (limited and older utensils and cookware), decor, etc. appear circa 80s-90s. Overall, a nice home for the price compared with other places we’ve stayed in Palmetto Dunes. Thanks for the hospitality and giving us another great, memorable HHI family vacay!

Thank you for the detailed feedback, Jeff. We're glad your family had a great time at Hilton Lagoon and that the home’s location, space, and amenities made for a fun and memorable stay, especially for the kids! We truly appreciate you sharing the areas that could be improved, and we’ll make sure this is shared with the team for follow-up. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back on your next HHI vacation.
We’ve visited OBX for the past 15+ years. Needed a change so this was our 1st visit. We had 10 in our group. Property was very nice. Back yard/pool area is beautiful. 1st night there, we were passing football in the pool. Ball went out of the pool in the brush on the lagoon bank. We used the pool net to try to retrieve. To our surprise, an alligator grabbed the net and pushed back. This was our welcome to HHI:) There are alligators! Stay away from the lagoons/ponds. We saw an alligator hanging out below the property several days. Thankfully, my son didn’t just run down the bank in the dark for the ball! Now some feedback on the home:
~ master bedroom very nice with a very comfortable bed, master bath very nice
~ kitchen has bare minimum pots & pans (1 big pot)…if planning to eat in, may want to bring extra
~ washer n dryer a plus
~ renting bikes was a huge plus (no one wore helmets but the kiddos in the area)
~ beach is just a short (& enjoyable) ride…we would load our pickup truck with all our beach gear, drop off & set up, return truck to house then ride bikes back. If you have a lot of beach gear, coolers, etc, this method works best
~ keypad access to the house is awesome and so convenient
~ pool area is simply beautiful and very enjoyable in the evenings (we were never worried about any alligators coming up to the pool, but we were very cognizant of our surroundings…the bank is steep and covered with foliage/brush)
All in all, very enjoyable vacation!
