About this property

Cozy, comfortable, pet-friendly,1st floor condo in private,wooded Palmetto Dunes

This unit offers privacy and safety in a community surrounded by trees and Spanish moss, with a lovely enclosed courtyard where you can sit and enjoy the tranquility and lovely nature views. This is one of the few units in which the courtyard can be completely closed for privacy and convenience of pets, with gates having been added to the wall surrounding the patio.

You are less than a mile from the oceanfront, which can be accessed with a parking pass acquired at check-in or by walking or biking the shady trails. A free shuttle service runs from April-Sept. to take you to the beach or across the road to the shops, restaurants, and nightlife of Shelter Cove. Bike rentals are available at a facility within Palmetto Dunes.

Everything you need is provided, from beach towels to wi-fi. The condo offers upgraded bathrooms, complete kitchen, cable tv/DVD, and a spacious living room with sofabed. St. Andrew's offers a wonderful outdoor swimming pool and deck, turtles in the pond nearby, and lovely walking trails.

This unit is pet-friendly with a $ 120 non-refundable pet fee and an agreement that no pets are allowed on the furniture. The beaches of Hilton Head are dog friendly, with dogs allowed on the beach any time of day between Labor Day and Memorial day, while during peak season they are allowed on the beach before 10 a.m. & after 5 p.m.

This condo is truly a gem that provides guests with a relaxing vacation that combines peace and quiet within the environment of St. Andrew's Commons with the convenience of nearby beaches and all that Hilton Head has to offer in the way of shopping, dining, art galleries, movie theaters, and cultural events at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina just across the road at Shelter Cove.

Feel free to contact the owner with any questions about special needs or reservation issues. We try to work with you if you need to re-schedule a reservation, and we try to accommodate specific check-in and departure times if possible. In low season, reservations are accepted for periods of less than a week.

Please note: There is a $35 one-week parking pass fee that is paid to Palmetto Dunes upon check-in at the Pass Office. This allows you access to oceanfront parking and other amenities in Palmetto Dunes. The parking pass is $50 if needed for 8-14 nights, or $75-100 for longer stays.

Please note: This is a no smoking rental, including the patio area.

Excellent comminication, location and value

Judy, the landlord, is highly responsive, a great communicator and really is dog-friendly as advertised. The unit is well located and very functional despite its small size. Mattress and pillows were very good, and the MBR has a dog bed. There is a covered entryway where you can store your golf clubs or bikes safely and dog areas surround the property. Premium channels on TV and internet is good. Lovely stay in a great location.

Condo needs attention, but location is great

We were excited to have the option of a dog friendly condo in a great location in Palmetto Dunes. The condo needs attention from the owner. A thorough cleaning and some decluttering and furniture updates would be a good start. Everything just seemed a little worn out and neglected. We have stayed at many places and feel we overpaid for this level of cleanliness even after taking into consideration the pet friendly circumstance. Owner has offered a discounted return stay, but I don’t see us taking advantage of that.

Lovely property, great location….but

We enjoyed our stay. Property was close to everything. The resort attached was well maintained. Our only complaint would be that this unit felt a little down at the heels. Could use a fresh coat of paint and updated appliances and shower curtain, for example. I know the unit is dog friendly and we appreciated that. But we’ve stayed in many dog friendly vacation rentals that were far better maintained.

Perfect location, perfect accomodations

Lovely historic property, mature teees, well groomed property. Loved the first floor accomodations with private back patio and easy accessnto ground level to walk the dog. Plenty of home amenities for your comfort. No need to bring supplemental bath towels, dish towels, beach towels...everything is ready to go for your comfort. The owner was just always lovely to communicate with and responsive to any questions. The Dune Buggy service is THE way to go to the beach... so just bring tip money if you are a tipper like we are...

this condo is adequate but needs some TLC

The condo was adequate. We appreciated bringing the dog. The condo needs to be refreshed with paint and a thorough cleaning. The patio area is dirty and needs to be landscaped. It was a good space for the dog however the outdoor table and patio were not a place to sit and enjoy. I think that for the price you pay to stay that it should be clean. The owner was polite and attentive. She addressed an issue that we had with a sprinkler system pipe breaking at 2am. We loved St Andrews Common and the pool there. There was a lot to like about the unit however some things need to be updated. The location of St Andrew Commons is perfect near the entrance of Palmetto Dunes and a short walk/bike ride to the beach.

Wonderful stay in Palmetto Dunes!

My husband and I stayed a week here and brought along our two dogs and enjoyed every minute! We’ve been staying in Hilton Head since we were little and always love staying in Palmetto Dunes. The condo was perfect for what we needed and we loved that it was pet friendly! The convenience and location couldn’t be better. Easy access to biking and walking trails, beautiful setting and an on-site pool. It’s about a 10-15 minute bike ride to the beach, and we biked and drove. Highly recommend renting bikes as that really enhanced our stay and it was super easy to zip around the resort. Having the Palmetto Dunes resort amenities was great, especially for the beach! The condo community has a pool which is great to cool off in at the end of the day. There are lots of nice personal touches in the condo to help if feel like home (pots, pans, kitchen items and even books to read). Items available for use on the beach too. We will definitely be renting from Judy again! She was extremely kind and easy to communicate with and accommodating with any questions we had! We look forward to our return.

Cozy winter getaway

My dog, Wilson, and I spent December 2024 through March 2025 in this condo and really enjoyed our stay. My late husband and I rented in Sea Pines for many years, but after he died, I wanted to try a new location. I loved all that Palmetto Dunes offers, especially the beach and pickleball courts. It was great to be mid-island, with Shelter Cove shops, restaurants, and walking paths directly across the road.For any stay, but especially a long one, I take for granted that appliances work well, the bed is comfortable, heating and cooling are reliable, there is plenty of hot water, the wifi is strong, and the TVs have cable and some streaming stations. All of those things met my expectations. The condo is very well-supplied with towels, linens, and cleaning products. The enclosed patio was great for Wilson, who enjoyed being outside off lead.I doubt you will find a better Host. Judy is wonderful, easy to reach and very responsive. Was everything perfect? No, the condo is showing its age, and the living room needs to be freshened up. The furniture is worn, and too large for the small space. My guests complained that the sleep sofa was uncomfortable. Despite that, it was a cozy winter getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Judith Wilburn

Host profile image
I am originally from North Carolina --- a Tar Heel, graduate of UNC -- and am a retired educator. I came to love the Low Country while spending much of my adult life in Savannah, where I owned a condo at Tybee Island. I now live in Bluffton, SC, and enjoy spending time with my dog at Hilton Head beaches.

Why they chose this property

I sold my condo at Tybee Island and bought at Hilton Head because of the beautiful beaches that are dog-friendly. I wanted to own a rental property where guests could have their pets with them. I found Hilton Head attractive because of the variety of outdoor activities available, the cleanliness of the beaches, and the abundance of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities easily accessible at Palmetto Dunes. The proximity of the Coastal Carolina Arts Center at Shelter Cove is a plus for me, and I encourage guests to check out what is being offered there at the time of your visit.

What makes this property unique

My description of this property reflects how much I value the opportunity to enjoy nature in a peaceful, wooded setting at St. Andrew's, while being only a few min. from the ocean. The enclosed patio is my favorite part of this villa!
