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/Roku, and a spacious living room. 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 & Shelter Cove. 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.

The condo was perfect for Hubby and I traveling with our two small fur babies. Great location, small enclosed yard for our pups made them more at home. We had everything we needed. Condo was confortable and centrally located. Rode our bikes to beach. Judith was quick to respond and accommodating. We will return.

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.

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.

The shower curtain and liner were replaced right after your stay. Thank you for calling it to my attention. The entire unit will be repainted inside as soon as peak season is over. As for appliances, all are currently in good working condition and will be replaced/updated as needed in the future for the comfort & convenience of guests.

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...

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.

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.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 July 2022
This unit will be completely repainted in the fall, as soon as peak season is over. As for the back patio area-- it is a partially covered, partially paved area with privacy wall that constantly gets debris from the beautiful shade trees outside the enclosure. The outdoor table and chairs are cleaned thoroughly between rentals. Landscaping of the enclosed area is not feasible, as most of my doggie guests like to dig in the unpaved area so it is left to Nature for their use & enjoyment!

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!
