About this property

EXCEPTIONAL Large and Private Villa in Palmetto Dunes Resort!! 5-Star Reviews!!!

Welcome to our spacious, remodeled and designer decorated 2nd floor, 2-bedroom Villa in the award winning, prestigious and gated Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island. Palmetto Dunes was named one of the Top 25 Family Resorts in the World by Travel and Leisure Magazine. Our villa is located right on the golf course in the extreme southern corner of St. Andrews Common which is furthest from roads, and other units. It has the absolute best views and it's in the quietest, most private corner of St. Andrews Common. The commercial vacation rental companies all wanted our villa, but we decided to list on VRBO and give you a MUCH better price.

NOTE: This is NOT the much smaller 2 bedroom unit with the small deck and the 2nd bedroom in a loft with a spiral staircase. Ours is the largest and most luxurious 2-bedroom villa in St. Andrews Common.

For 2023 we have a total kitchen remodel with new cabinets, new quartz counter tops new luxury vinyl flooring, etc. Also new for 2023 is all new living room furniture. You'll need to visit to appreciate this exceptional, spacious and truly unique 1,400 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, one-level villa with its cathedral ceilings and stylish decor. You'll be in your own, private tropical paradise with spectacular views in every direction. A huge Magnolia tree, various Palms, Palmettos, Live Oaks with Spanish Moss, other tropical plants and a small lagoon frame beautiful views of the George Fazio Golf Course. There are no other villas, parking lots, walls or other obstructions to spoil your privacy and the tropical scenery. This is exactly why we were willing to pay a premium price for this premium St. Andrews Common property.

If you need a place to STAY, get a hotel room. If you want a place to really LIVE on the Island, this is your villa!

You'll be impressed with the open floor plan and atrium windows that fill the living spaces with light. The afternoon sun is filtered by the large beautiful trees, just off the deck, which provide a totally tropical feel.

You'll prepare a glass of wine or a cold drink at the eight-foot long quartz wet bar which separates the living space from the dining space two steps above. The large Panasonic, high definition flat screen television is perfect for viewing the extended high-def channel selection; watching a DVD on the Panasonic Blue Ray player; or reviewing your day's beach photos using the TV's built-in photo viewing features. The furnishings throughout are high quality. The queen sleeper sofa will accommodate a 6th person or a couple of children. Morning coffee or the sunset with a cold drink are absolutely perfect while sitting in one of the bar-height, bistro chairs on the spacious, private wrap-around deck. The deck has room for everyone in the party with six chairs (four bar height) and three tables. There is also a Weber BBQ grill on the deck for preparing a perfect steak or fresh fish.

You'll find a private retreat in the master suite with high ceilings, golf course views and separate French door access to the villa's large, wrap-around deck. Everything is updated from the tile, granite, vanities and fixtures in the bath to the furniture and large flat screen hi-def TV. Woven woods provide privacy for the windows and deck doors. Our designer advised that we should give special attention to the bedding as a good night's sleep is very important for us and our guests to fully enjoy our time on the Island. You'll sleep on the best, most supportive and most comfortable king mattress and foundation that we could find.

The roomy second bedroom also has beautiful, high quality furnishings and shades to provide privacy for the windows that face the front, entry-side of the villa. This bedroom has a queen bed for couples: an extended-length twin bed for another golfer or family member and a flat screen TV/DVD combo. The hall bath, just outside the second bedroom, has also been completely renovated with new tile, vanity and granite.

On days when you choose to eat in, food preparation will be a joy in the totally remodeled and well equipped kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances. The refrigerator has an ice maker and the range is a state of the art INDUCTION cook top and CONVECTION oven. For 2023 there is a new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new cabinets and new quartz counter tops. You may wash and dry your clothes and beach towels in the new full size washer and dryer just off the kitchen.

Behind the kitchen and near the villa entrance is a study with desk, chair and artwork. This is a perfect place to open your laptop, access the villa's private 500 mbps wireless network and work remotely or make that reservation at your favorite Hilton Head Island restaurant. There is a printer on the desk for your use. There is also a small covered deck off the kitchen / study with two chairs and a small table where you will find a private space to read a book or have a private conversation.

St. Andrews Common is part of the exclusive Palmetto Dunes / Shelter Cove Resort, one of the world's best resorts. The Resort offers exciting amenities and you will receive a Resort Pass which will give you driving and parking access to all areas of the Resort and all that this exceptional destination has to offer. Play golf on one of the three world-class golf courses or enjoy tennis or pickleball at the award winning Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. Bike the miles of trails using the two cruiser bikes at the Villa for your use; shop at Shelter Cove's markets, shops and restaurants; take a cruise, charter a boat or fishing trip; kayak in the 11-mile lagoon; paddleboard or kayak at Shelter Cove; fish in the surf or lagoons; dine in the many restaurants; catch a show at the Arts Center; take a short walk or bike ride to the beach; or park at one of the private beach access points. All of this is available within the Palmetto Dunes / Shelter Cove Resort and you will have access.

In addition to the two cruiser bikes at the villa for your use, you may rent additional bikes, kayaks and other items from The Outfitters in Palmetto Dunes at a 10% discount as a "Preferred Guest" with the code I will provide.

Don't feel like walking, biking or driving? Call the “Dunes Buggy“ and one of the buses will pick you up at your villa and take you anywhere in the resort for no charge. Call again and they'll take you somewhere else or return you to your villa. This transportation is usually available April 1 till September 30, from 8 AM till 9 PM for guests at our villa. Feel like staying very close to home? You can also relax in one of the comfortable lounge chairs at the large and beautiful St. Andrews Common swimming pool and pavilion available exclusively for St. Andrews Common owners and guests... about 100 steps from your villa door.

Wonderful Stay at St. Andrews!
The villa was beautiful and clean. Newly renovated kitchen and living space which we appreciated! Loved the deck overlooking the golf course with a pond that was frequented by different types of birds and a gator that was living there! Also loved the office space off the kitchen for my husband who had to work during our stay. Stan and Jane were gracious hosts and very easy to get in touch with! My son loved the games that were available for family game nights too! The location was great- only a short drive to the Dunes House to park for the beach or take the Dune Buggy! The walk was a bit far about 25 minutes but it was nice to do that in the morning to see the sunrise. Super close to Shelter Cove and Whole Foods, which we liked. The furniture in the bedrooms was a bit outdated, but that would not stop us from returning.

Fantastic Place!
We loved everything about our stay! This was our first time visiting Hilton Head and we couldn't have been happier. The location is great. We loved having a shuttle that we could call to pick us up and take us to and from the beach. The general store was fun to take our kids to for a treat. I loved having a view from our villa. The villa was clean and had everything we needed. The host was very proactive and always very responsive. We truly enjoyed our vacation and would stay here again!

1st time using VRBO
1st time using VRBO so we didn't know what to expect. Check in/out was a bit confusing but once we got in it was all good. Only negatives were one bed was quite squeaky and the deck was not cleaned well. Everything else about the place was nice and had everything' we wanted. The shuttle on property was a big plus.

Home Away From Home
This was our 2nd stay at this clean, spacious property. My favorite part is the large wraparound deck. The kitchen has been recently updated, the furnishings are comfortable and the location is quiet. Communication with the Host was excellent. We enjoyed watching the birds and turtles at the pond, and hope to visit again soon.

Fantastic weekend get away
The property is exactly as advertised. It is great that it faces the golf course to add privacy to our stay. Stan (the host) sent a very informative message before we checked in. We used the bikes and the trails were nice to take a short ride out. We also enjoyed the marina which is directly across the street for some fun while we were there. We had one difficultly while we were there and Stan was quick to respond to help us rectify the issue. We would definitely recommend this to others who are staying in Hilton Head!

Best Kept Secret at Palmtto Dunes
This two bedroom, two bath Villa is spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of windows and lighting throughout. The well shaded wrap around deck is awesome. It's by far the most beautifully, well appointed Villa we've been in in all our years visiting HHI. The bikes, baby stroller and beach equipment is a bonus. The owners, Stan and Jane is the most gacious and accomoding hosts. From the inquiry process to the end of our stay, they responded quickly to our emails and were very helpful during our stay. They made us feel like family. We will certainly contact them about the this Villa when we plan our next trip to HHI.

Pure Relaxation on Hilton Head Island
The property was easy to find, parking was plentiful and the villa is gorgeous inside. Very spacious, quiet and peaceful. The home is well appointed and we had everything we needed for a relaxing get away. We loved the deck, the updated kitchen and the cozy family room. We also enjoyed riding the bikes on the trails through Palmetto Dunes and taking walks down to the beach. Stan was very responsive and helpful - offering great suggestions and guidance for a very easy check-in process. No stress - just healing peace and quiet which was just what we both needed. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Stan for opening your home to us!

Heaven on HHI
This is our fourth stay in this beautiful condo. The only time we haven’t stayed here is once when it sadly was already booked for our dates :). We have already rebooked our next trip. As always, it’s the best place to stay in Palmetto Dunes. The kitchen remodel is a nice extra that we thoroughly enjoyed! We loved the previous furniture, but actually really warmed up to the new decor and living room refresh; the main rooms are so bright and airy with the lighter colors and the natural light adds to this. We love this place and we know you will, too! Thanks again for the perfect stay.

Fabulous First Family Trip to HHI!
We were spoiled by this lovely place for our first stay ever in Hilton Head and Palmetto Dunes. It was a great location for navigating to the beach, community pool, the Palmetto Dunes general store where we stopped for ice cream at least once a day, and super convenient to Kroger and all the restaurants and on-island activities available! Our hosts were super kind and helpful with any questions we had. Being a nature geek, I loved sitting up on the wrap-around porch in the mornings and admiring the trees and birds. On a very superficial level, we also enjoyed the space for the stay- all updated feeling and clean. We played Candyland and other games in the cabinets and were able to just enjoy family time together. We rented bikes to go along with the ones available in the unit and our older kids were able to make trips to the general store as a pair independently and loved that. Very thankful for our refreshing stay at this special place and we hope to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Stan and Jane Heasley

Host profile image
We are Stan and Jane Heasley. We are both now retired and thoroughly enjoying life. We absolutely love Hilton Head Island and we're sure that you will too. It's like no other place in the country.

Why they chose this property

Hilton Head Island is like no other place in the US mainland. We have rented houses and vacationed along the East Coast from Maine to Florida and on the West Coast as well. We've enjoyed the variety, but many places were wind blown sand, heavily commercialized or both. Hilton Head Island is very different. The Island is a forest of mature tropical trees and plants. Commercial signs and storefronts are pushed back into the trees to preserve the island feel. It looks very natural and tropical, but it's truely amazing the variety of activities, culture, restaurants, family activities and... did I mention the pristine beaches? If your looking for action or relaxation, Hilton Head Island has it all.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of our vacation rental villa begins with its size, the largest in St. Andrews Common. This is NOT the much smaller 2-bedroom unit with the small deck and 2nd bedroom in a loft up a spiral staircase. Our villa is a very large, 1400 sq. ft., 2-bedrrom, 2-bath flat with cathedral ceilings and atrium windows. Our villa is also in the best location in St. Andrews. It is in the extreme southern corner of the complex furthest from roads and other housing. It has the most private setting in St. Andrews and has the very best, panoramic views in St. Andrews. From the large, private, elevated, wrap-around deck there are no walls, parking lots or other buildings to spoil the beautiful, tropical golf course views. We paid a premium price when we bought this villa as it is a premium property, in a premium location... the absolute best available in St. Andrews Common. Our villa was also totally remodeled and designer decorated.

The villa is located in the Prestigious Palmetto Dunes / Shelter Cove Oceanfront Resort with all of the resort activities, golf, tennis, kayaking, charter fishing, dolphin watching, private beach access points, etc. along three miles of the best beaches on the east coast. The Resort has everything but, if you decide to leave the Resort, you can bike about anywhere on the Island from this perfect mid-Island location. Two cruiser bikes are provided for your use and additional bikes may be rented at a 10% discount when staying at our villa. With the special code we will provide, you will receive DISCOUNTS ON GOLF, TENNIS AND RENTALS OF BIKES, KAYAKS, CANOES, ETC.

The villa has a mid-Island location, close to all the action for those looking for fun and activities, while also being very private and secluded for those looking for some tropical rest and relaxation. It is truly the best of all worlds.
