LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!!! Welcome to paradise in Ocean Cove Club, the most convenient location in beautiful Palmetto Dunes! Our comfortable villa is well-equipped, and close to all the action. And with keyless entry, there are no keys to keep up with while you take in the sights, or soak in the sun. Just enter a code, and come and go as you please.
The beach is a mere block from the front door, down a concrete-paved beach path. And although all the beach at Palmetto Dunes is gorgeous, there is often a higher density of folks on the south gate side of the resort, and we are on the less populated North gate side of the resort. That means there'll be fewer people on our stretch of beach than on the south gate side, and therefore less trouble finding your perfect spot of sand!
From the community dock (about 20 yards from our back patio) that borders the 11-mile lagoon , you can fish, lounge, or just relax. Even closer is the community pool, about 20 steps from our back patio! Our patio has a sling dining set that seats six comfortably, and a chaise lounge to relax and enjoy your favorite book or a snooze.
ALSO, we have an oversized concrete patio, so our outdoor living space is roomy, and our Weber grill will make your cookouts a dream.
Our 3 bedroom, 3 bath villa sleeps 8-9 and is perfect for families, couples, gatherings of old friends, or special getaways. There are two bedrooms on the second floor, and one on the first floor, all with ensuite private baths, cable TV, DVD players, and closets. Our first floor king master bedroom has an updated bathroom, and direct access to a small patio that borders the main patio. The master king bedroom on the second floor is bright and cheery, with a wall of glass and a large balcony that overlooks the patio. The other upstairs bedroom has a queen and twin XL beds, plus a rollaway twin bed (that could be used in another bedroom if needed), and a small balcony. A view of the pool is visible just through the trees from both of these bedrooms.
New renovation of upstairs bath in queen/twin room in 2022. Renovated downstairs master bath in November 2020, to include shower, double vanity, and lots of storage! Upstairs king master bath similarly renovated a couple years ago.
The roomy desk on the upstairs landing is perfect for your laptop, hobbies, or for keeping an enjoyable puzzle always available and off the dining table.
Queen sleeper sofa and loveseat in the living room. Also in the living room, you'll find a flat screen HDTV with DVR digital cable box, and a Blu-Ray/DVD/CD player with small video library for your enjoyment. Some games, blocks, and puzzles are also provided, as well as secured wi-fi.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need. New stainless kitchen appliances for 2022! We even have large stock pots for your shrimp boils, wine glasses, drink coozies, some spices to share, and a coffee grinder! Past guests have all commented on how well stocked our kitchen is.
An outside closet has several beach chairs, beach cart, umbrella(s), some kid's beach toys, pool noodles and a couple boogie boards. A convenient outdoor shower in the utility area just off the kitchen makes it easy to leave the sand outside where it belongs!
We have a manager to address any problems that may arise.
Tennis and golf enthusiasts will enjoy the 3 acclaimed golf courses, and the fabulous tennis and pickleball center within Palmetto Dunes.
The Dunes House Grill, where you can enjoy a cool drink or sandwich by the ocean, is just a block away. The Hilton resort, the Robert Trent Jones golf course, tennis center, pickleball courts, general store, bike and kayak rentals are each about 2 blocks away. Big Jim's Barbecue at the Trent Jones clubhouse serves up tasty fare and you can walk or ride your bike the 2 blocks to get there.
Attending a conference at the Hilton (formerly Marriott)? Why not rent our villa and bring your family along? You can walk to your meeting and be close enough to meet up with your family for meals or breaks. Plus, you'll have more room and flexibility than a hotel room.
Shelter Cove Marina and Harbor is just across highway 278, where you can shop, dine, hire a fishing charter or rent kayaks. Shelter Cove Towne Center is adjacent to the Harbor area, where there is a super Kroger store, plus numerous choices for shopping and dining. Everything is convenient!
For those new to Hilton Head, there are so many things to do! First and foremost, the beach is incredible! Then there's shopping, golf, tennis, miniature golf, horseback riding, great restaurants, boating, dolphin and nature tours, fishing or sailing charters, kayaking, and bike paths around much of the island.
For those familiar with Hilton Head, you KNOW how great it is, so what are you waiting for? Come on down! We look forward to your visit at our beautiful villa!

Wonderful stay!
This villa was in a great location! It was very close to the pool and a short walk to the beach. It had a fully stocked kitchen and we loved all of the beach equipment and toys that were there! It was a perfect place to stay with our 2 young children and we look forward to coming back.

The property was very clean and had everything we needed to have a great week in Palmetto Dunes. The owner was easy to work with and everything was as it appears in the vrbo posting.
We have been to Hilton many times & have been disappointed with our choices to stay. This time we found the best property to rent. Comfortable.....extremely clean.......Beautiful condo.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you again next year!
This is a wonderful place to stay. There are 6 of us and there is actually room for two or three more because I believe there is a sleeper sofa. The kitchen is well-stocked with pans, dishes, knives, silverware - about anything you would need. There is a stacked washer and dryer in the kitchen which works well and comes in handy. There is also a dishwasher, stove, microwave, Keurig and regular coffee maker. There is a gas grill on the patio which we usually use at least once. There are plenty of towels, etc. and even some small soaps, and small bottles of conditioner and shampoo! The owner is very responsive. We found that one of the beach chairs was broken and a new one was delivered the next day. The location is great. The beach is within easy walking distance and so are the pickleball and tennis courts. Our grandson particularly enjoyed the general store which is near the pickleball courts and is fairly close also! The pool is almost right outside the door! If you stay there, please take care of the property, because she works to take care of her guests!

Wonderful vacation condo! Close to beach. Plenty of room.
My family enjoyed our vacation in Hilton head in July 2018. The condo was exactly as described. It has great updates and made for very comfortable stay. Perfect location close to beach. Our kids (aged 22-16) loved the condo. Plenty of room for all of us.

Fabulous week at Hilton Head
My family and I enjoyed a great week at this lovely villa. The place was very clean, well appointed and very comfortable. Great TVs, wifi access, and an outdoor closet stocked with beach toys, chairs and a beach cart made the experience even more enjoyable. We were only 500 steps from the beach! The owner was so easy to work with; the entire rental and check in process was painless. We can't wait to return next year!

It is hard to travel with adult children in that so many of the options have one room that is twin beds which does not work for tall guys! So we loved that we had three bedrooms each with own bathroom. Also, it had a well stocked kitchen, possibly the best one we have had (this is an annual trip for us) We had a relaxing time. Pool and beach were both close.
We had an amazing time in Hilton head, it is a beautiful island! The home we stayed in was amazing, very well equipped with everything we needed. It was so close to the beach and a beautiful nature walk. Our favorite part was renting electric bikes for an entire day - riding up and down the beach and all of the bike paths throughout. We made a handful of stops at different local breweries/distilleries. So much fun.
Our two weeks were wonderful. Two different couples joined us each of the two weeks - beach goers/walkers/bike riders and golfers. All enjoyed their stay. The house was perfect; with comfortable common spaces for all six of us and lovely bedroom retreats for quiet time. The kitchen was beyond well equipped. The location was perfect. And our hostess was very gracious and organized; sending us everything we needed to know to make our stay exceptional. We will be back!

Great Vacation in Hilton Head
My family and I had a great time in Hilton Head! This villa is very close to the beach and it was an easy walk for my young daughters (3 and 5 years old). The pool and lagoon are also right outside the back door which worked out great. We sat on the deck by the lagoon in the morning or evening and we saw a lot of wildlife which my daughters absolutely loved. The villa was very well decorated and in great condition. It is exactly as depicted in the photos. We only had 5 people but it easily could have accomodated a couple more people. This villa is also very close to a lot of shopping and great restuarants including Shelter's Cove. I highly recommend this place.

Best Place to Stay on Hilton Head Island
This was the 4th year my family and I stayed at this beautiful villa. I just can't say enough good things about it. We love that it is less than 500 steps to the beach (clocked by Garmin!). The pool is right out the back door but yet, because of the landscaping, you really can't see the pool when you are sitting on the back patio--privacy & convenience!. My grandkids love that the General Store with its soft serve ice cream and awesome breakfast is just a short walk or an even shorter bike ride away. The villa is spacious, clean, well equipped and so comfortable. I always tell people that Hilton Head is our favorite place on earth and this villa is one of our favorite things about Hilton Head.

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this property (Property ID 373740) and the Palmetto Dunes Resort area. The location was close to the beach, pool, and the general store which met all our needs. The property was spacious, lovely, and comfortable. We had all the utilities and kitchen supplies that we needed. Everything was in excellent working condition. I like how the owner had a recycle bin since there were very few recycling bins on the beach. The pool was clean and beautiful and we enjoyed biking around the neighborhood and on the beach in the mornings. It was a quick drive to Shelter Cove Restaurants and Stores and not a bad "Lyft" ride to other restaurants that were 5-8 miles away. My friends and I would definitely stay there again.

About the host
Hosted by Pam
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! Ocean Cove is convenient to everything we love about Palmetto Dunes. An easy walk to beach, Dunes House Grill, golf, tennis, the Marriot, Anthony's, Big Jim's Barbecue, and bike/kayak rentals. Lots of places to bike, and explore. The Ocean Cove pool is just steps away from our patio.
What makes this property unique
Short walk to the beach; short bike ride over to Shelter Cove to watch a sunset; fishing and watching wildlife from the community dock at Ocean Cove. Palmetto Dunes general store just 2 blocks away, with ice cream! And we like to walk to the Dunes house to enjoy a meal and adult beverage by the ocean! We also love the less crowded beach on the Mariner's side (north gate) of Palmetto Dunes.
