Best Kitchen and Beach Gear Ever

We were able to cook dinners every night-no shortage of pots/skillets/mixing bowls. There was a fully stocked slice lazy Susan for any possible needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool. All 10 of us had a beach chair-the wagons made it easy to transport everything. Our pregnant daughter especially loved the pop up tent to sit in the shade. We plan to use this property again when the grandsons are a few years older.

Family vacation for 50th Anniversary

If you read any of the other wonderful reviews…just ditto that. Property and hosts were magnificent! Every thing was exactly how it was described and best ever equipped for a beach trip. The wildlife in the backyard of deer, and a bald eagle were a plus.

Great family vacation

We were a family of grandparents, children and grandchildren. We loved the location - only a few minutes was to the beach. Also the beach was fairly private - you could tell it was much less crowded than the public beach farther down. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The listing says it has service for 12, but there is a lot more plates, cups and silverware than that. No need to bring your own. We all loved the pool and the very private back yard. The owners respond very quickly with any questions you have.

Annual Generational Getaway

Even though there were 6 adults and two toddlers, we had so much space (with room for a few more). The week was beautiful and the house exceeded our expectations. The host was super easy to communicate with, the home was very clean and well-stocked, the location was perfect--literally a 2 minute walk down a beachy path to the most amazing portion of beach--the pool was refreshing on hot afternoons, and we enjoyed grilling and putt-putting right in the backyard. We hope to stay again when we return to Hilton Head. Our only complaint is that we only had 7 days.

What a great week!

The property was just like described on-line and by the owner. All the rooms were very comfortable and spacious enough for our group of 10. The pool was big enough for our group and was professionally cleaned twice during our stay. The walk to the beach took less than 10 mins. The owner was great to work with and made sure all our needs were met. I highly recommend this property and plan to use it again in the future.

Why they chose this property

Our family vacationed in Hilton Head and rented homes in Palmetto Dunes for about 6 years before we purchased 18 Mooring Buoy. We found the area to be an ideal vacation spot for families especially with children and/or grandchildren. This location is private yet within walking distance to world class golf course, world class tennis facility and much more.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. We are a 2.5 minute walk to the beach, 2 minute walk to the PD tennis and pickleball court center, 3 minute walk to Trent Jones Golf Course and 3 minute walk to restaurants. The ocean, private pool and spa are magnets for all. We enjoy bike rides throughout Palmetto Dunes, boating on the lagoons, tennis, grilling outside and dining in our favorite restaurants. We provide bikes, kayaks, corn hole, putting green, screened porch, private sun deck, private heated pool, SPA and every kitchen utensil you can imagine.
