VILLA and COMMUNITY


#4 Beach Villa is so unique! It offers the perfect combination of a modern upscale villa and the quaint feeling of a Carolina Beach ‘cottage’. Not your typical condo - it is attached on just one side and both bedrooms and main living area are all on one level - all rooms open to the beach & ocean. No elevators! Just step out to the sand!

Newly renovated and meticulously maintained, with over 2000 sq. feet inside plus another 900 sq. feet of outdoor living areas – all direct oceanfront – makes this villa truly one-of-a-kind!

It enjoys a central great room with an upscale Kitchen, living and dining areas that all open to private terraces and the beach and ocean beyond.

There are 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, and a spectacular open stair and bridge walkway to an oceanfront LOFT / WET BAR & LOUNGE. From this lounge there are big sliding glass doors leading to the 50 ft. long, 400 sq. ft. OCEANFRONT DECK.
Plus a unique Private TV Loft which is part of Bedroom 2 is also accessed from the top floor deck. Here you'll find comfortable reclining lounge chairs, a flat screen TV and cushioned lounge chairs just outside on the oceanfront deck.

Just out the front door is a large fenced-in pool and sunning area exclusively for the guests of Beach Villas.

And being within PALMETTO DUNES you have easy access to hundreds of miles of bike and jogging paths, the lagoon system and the Resort’s famous golf courses and tennis facility.

The Hilton Hotel with entertainment and restaurants and the elegant Spa Soleil is a couple of hundred yards up the beach.

In the opposite direction – just steps away – is the always fun DUNES HOUSE GRILL – serving lunch and dinner on the beachfront deck daily!

Just across the main road is Shelter Cove – also part of our Resort – where there are shops, restaurants and entertainment – including weekly fireworks. AND our villa offers special privileges for discounts on Kayak rentals, Court Times, Tee Times and more.

-----

The KITCHEN is fully equipped. It is a convenient open galley style with custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances and is part of the great room. All areas walk out to a big covered terrace with the Blackstone grill, outdoor dining (for 6) and comfy seating. Everyone will gather around the granite island with a raised glass breakfast bar (for 3) and there is enough room so there are never 'too many cooks' in the kitchen!

The GREAT ROOM with its soaring ceilings is professionally decorated and includes a dining table for up to 8 people, a comfortable living area with leather sectional seating and flat screened TV plus a convenient desk with multiple charging stations - all with views of the ocean.

LOFT / WET BAR & LOUNGE - new in the renovation is a spectacular open stair and bridge walkway to a 'Bar Loft'. Here, overlooking the great room / kitchen you’ll find a second living area, fully equipped with a wet bar and bar fridge with icemaker and 12-foot sliding glass doors to a spectacular oceanfront 50-foot-long sundeck! This is where you’ll want to live! There are loungers for sunbathing, 2 bar height tables and seating for 6. Two comfy club chairs and a corner loveseat that's perfect for afternoon naps with soothing sounds of the surf! This is a wonderful place to enjoy your coffee in the morning; watch the shrimp boats in the distance; take in the sights and activity on the beach below; relax in the sun; enjoy sunset cocktails and/or late-night star gazing with the sounds of the surf. PLUS there is access from this deck to the comfortable TV Loft (also accessed from Bedroom 2 inside) where you can relax with TV or a good book while enjoying the sights and sounds of the beach and ocean.

You'll love the private covered terrace with big rattan lounge chairs. Bedroom 2 also offers a unique private space - a private TV Loft sitting area with reclining lounge chairs that opens to the second-floor deck, outdoor cushioned lounge chairs and a beautiful beach and oceanfront view. This loft is accessed by a small steep staircase inside the bedroom as well as from the upper deck.

LAUNDRY ROOM has a stacked full-sized washer and dryer plus a deep laundry sink and access to the exterior service yard.

Terrific View! Great Location!

My husband and I and our two grown daughters spent one of the best weeks we've ever had here! We all loved the view from the decks and the beach was literally steps away. It made it so convenient to come and go to the beach as we pleased without feeling that we had to move "camp" there. The biking at Hilton Head is the best, too. Bike trails cover the island? Yes, the place is a bit older and needs more seating in the living room if you are going to have more than 4 adults, but overall it was terrific for us. We'll definitely stay here again!

Our Favorite!

We have been vacationing in Hilton Head since our now college-age sons were little and this is by far our favorite property - and the only one that we’ve stayed at more than once. We absolutely love the location but it’s the unit itself that is simply amazing! It’s beautifully decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The owners are a pleasure to deal with and we’ve never had a problem getting in touch with them when needed. My only recommendations for improvement would be to replace the master bedroom mattress - it’s still very comfortable but is showing its age with some obvious sagging. Also, it would be wonderful if the upstairs couch was a sleeper - unfortunately, with our boys being older and the possibility of bringing girlfriends/fiancées is growing, we may not be able to return without additional sleeping space! Bottom line is that it’s an absolutely fabulous stay though and worth every penny.

Wow! Absolute perfection!

I’ve rented a number of beach houses over the years and this was the best beach house we’ve ever stayed at. It might be the best VRBO I’ve ever rented. It’s a beautiful home in an exquisite resort community and the beachside location can’t be beat. The home is well furnished and the outdoor space is amazing. The owner is very responsive and communicative and check in/check out was very smooth. I would recommend this property to anyone and we plan to make an annual trip from the Midwest to enjoy the beautiful beach house going forward.

Property is AMAZING! Beautiful villa on the beach with the best oceanfront views and great location. We have stayed here many times and love it! Villa is well furnished and communication with owner is excellent. Beach and Dunes House grille are a few steps away. Easy walk to general store, tennis courts and bike rental. Owner has beach chairs and an umbrella or you can rent chairs on the beach. Our favorite part is the upper deck area that has tables and lounge chairs where you can enjoy the ocean view- it’s the best !Dale (owner) ensures you have a wonderful time and checks in to make sure you are well situated. Can’t say enough positive things about this rental!

Beautiful property!!!

We absolutely loved Palmetto Dunes and this property! It was our first time visiting HHI, we brought our three adult kids - what a fantastic experience for the whole family. The home is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully stocked with all the comforts of home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor areas, which allowed us to spend as much time outdoors as possible. The upper deck offered stunning views of the ocean, and it was just a short walk to the beach. The pool was quite and right out the front door. Our host, Dale, was wonderful - easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

On top of that, it’s all so neat and organized. Rarely do you find a rental that exceeds your expectations! Thank for Dale for an amazing trip!

Family Vacation….Finally!

After 5 years of COVID, career change, college and PT school, our family was finally able to take a vacation. With our family spread out in NC and GA, we landed on Hilton Head Island due to equal driving distance for everyone. We ended up at Dune House Villa #4 and it was fantastic-perfection really. Beachfront, space, views, cleanliness, patios, viewing deck and convenience - this place was everything we could ask for and more. Oh and it’s nice, really nice. Myself, my wife, our 3 daughters, and a friend spent the week having a true vacation. As a dad, I’m looking for easy - easy check-in, easy beach access, easy proximity to restaurants, stores, ice cream parlors and activities, easy checkout, just easy - and this exceeded expectations. Trust me when I say that’s hard to do with my crowd - picky or perhaps spoiled is a good way to describe us. Wish we could’ve stayed longer and can’t wait to go back!
