The property is located close to the beach. We have stayed at this property several times in the past but with a different owner. We love sitting on the balcony but could not this visit due to not being cleaned. Could not open the doors to the balcony due to an issue with them. The property seems a little worn and needs some updating.

Amazing location!

Our first time to HHI and our family had a blast! The condo was very clean and the location was close to everything Hilton Head Island has to offer! The kids especially loved the short (very short) walk to the beach! We saw lots of dolphins and deer!

We had a good time at this property. The location was excellent. You can easily walk to the beach in 2 minutes. It was comfortable and had 3 full bathrooms which is great for a 2 bedroom condo! We recommend this condo highly.

This property was absolutely amazing! It was a short walk to the beach which was beautiful and clean. It was also an easy walk to the general store. The condo was just like the pictures. The beds were a little hard but definitely didn’t keep me from a good night sleep. Would absolutely recommend this place and we will be back!

Location is great, very close to the beach. Hosts are also great, very responsive and accommodating. But the apartment itself needs more cleaning and updating. It’s old and not clean.

Perfect Spot

We had a great stay in Palmetto Dunes. This condo is about a 3m walk to the beach and the Dunes House Restaurant. It’s set up almost as two separate sides with the two bed room/bathroom on the right as you want in and then the kitchen, kind bedroom and two bathrooms on the left which was great - our kids had their own side and bathroom and my wife and I had our side. The kids loved riding their bikes up and down the beach and throughout the neighborhood (bike paths everywhere). The beach was perfect and so close. The condo itself was very nice and recently updated. Perfect spot, we will be back!

Overall the location is great-we love Palmetto Dunes and the short walk to the beach! The floors were not very clean at all. We had black feet after walking around inside for just a short time when initially arriving. There was lots of dust over things/furniture as well. The laundry area is tight but having it was a great touch. The beds are VERY loud and make noise with the slightest movements and not ideal for sleeping at all but especially when sharing the room with two kids under two. All mattresses were this loud and very uncomfortable. However the space overall was great. Would have liked another couch or comfy space to sit on. The decorative chairs were cute but not very functional or comfy! The beach wagon, chairs and towels were handy!

Great week in HHI!

After reading a few of the recent reviews regarding maintenance and upkeep, we were a little bit nervous about what we might find when checking into the unit. We messaged the host before arrival to share our concerns and ask questions. They responded informatively and honestly. Upon arrival, the unit was clean and comfortable. Some of the kitchen gadgets and materials were dull/could be replaced, but still useable and allowed for cooking meals at home on occasion. Again, the unit was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. The location is great with good proximity to the beach, beach bar and grille, and the rest of Palmetto Dunes amenities.

Week of 4th of July

Our experience was ok but could have been better. The location of the property was excellent as the beach and pool were all within walking distance. It was also within biking distance of all restaurants and shopping areas. Both bedrooms are very spacious and can accomodate a family of 4 comfortably. The 3 full bathrooms along w the washer/dryer were definitely a plus! Our only issue was that the property seemed to have a small pest problem. The pest control company also had a scheduled appointment during our visit. My advice to the property management company is to mitigate the pest problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would have provided a 5-star rating.
