Family Tides is ready to welcome you to our newest rental property in Palmetto Dunes! We have been rental owners for nearly 6 years and love this area!

Come vacation in paradise! Spend your days enjoying sweeping waterfront views of the 11-mile saltwater lagoon, relaxing in the private pool and spa, napping on the screened in porch, kayaking/fishing off the dock, or playing a game of Ping Pong or giant-size Connect Four. This Palmetto Dunes home truly has it all and is only a short walk or bike ride to the beach and world class golf and tennis.

This home has everything you need, both indoors and out, for a fun, relaxing time with the family: Three bedrooms (sleeps 10) and three full bathrooms; private pool and spa; outdoor rec room with ping pong table; amazing views with a private dock; great location near the beach; books and board/card games; high-speed wireless internet; new Smart TVs, luxury vinyl plank floors and fresh paint throughout; fully stocked kitchen; brand new appliances; laundry room with full size washer and dryer.

Adjacent to the pool is a brand new 1200 square ft. recreation room with lots of comfortable seating for relaxing, a table and chairs to eat poolside, an outdoor ping pong table and giant-sized Connect Four game.
Relax in the oversized Adirondack chairs on your private dock! The dock overlooks the 11-mile saltwater lagoon where you are sure to see one of the 160 bird species that inhabit the area, a variety of fish and the occasional boater or kayaker.

Entry/Indoor Common Space:
A covered front porch overlooks a quiet cul-de-sac street where you can sit on the oversize rocking chairs and watch the kids ride bikes and scooters. Beautiful double glass entry doors lead into the foyer. Beyond is the spacious, open living room complete with high ceilings, Smart TV mounted above the fireplace, and shelves stocked with books, toys and games.

Relaxing & Rejuvenating

The house was just as described and well appointed. We took our three kids for spring break. Our son is in college and enjoyed his own room & bathroom. He was able to get some work done in between looking for lizards outside & getting some sun. Our girls are juniors in high school and were also glad to have their own bedroom and bathroom. The pool was great & the weather was perfect for relaxing in the sun and shaking off the winter blahs. My husband and enjoyed going for long walks on the beach each day and getting our feet into the ocean…it will be a long time before Lake Michigan is warm enough for that again. The community of Palmetto Dunes is so peaceful and quiet. We had a great time!

Vacation Paradise

This property was perfect for our stay. We had four adults and two children 2 and 4. Plenty of open space in living and dining area, bedrooms great size. Great pool area space and yard. Extra bonus was the toys and games for the kids that were on the property. Plenty of bikes to use. Would highly recommend and will stay there again.

The Best of Hilton Head Island

This beautiful property in the Palmetto Dunes was fantastic. The property had great amenities and all the necessities for our stay. The seamless check-in was quick and easy. The property was pristine and the community was wonderful to walk or bike around, the beach was easily accessible. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I’ll definitely be bringing my family back here.

Nice comfortable, beautiful home

We enjoyed our stay very much. Both the host and the property manager gave us great suggestions. We biked (bikes at the house), played pickle ball and golf. The house has a great outdoor space right on the lagoon with a pool, hot tub, comfortable couches and ping pong table. Lots of comfortable places to sit and chat or read inside too.

Awesome Holiday House

We loved this beautiful home and it immediately felt like home to our entire family. It was tastefully and simply decorated. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would normally need to prepare and enjoy meals together. It was close to the beach and we took full advantage of the bikes which were provided. The pool and entertainment area were great- especially considering we had several days of un-Hilton Head like weather. Loved the home!

Spring Break Trip to HHI

We had a great stay in HHI! The property was better in person than the pictures show (which doesn't happen often). Mike, the property manager was very responsive and checked in on us a few times throughout our stay. The bikes in the garage were definitely a huge bonus as we were able to bike everywhere! We especially loved just relaxing in the back yard fishing from the dock, feeding birds (almost right out of our hands) and swimming! We will definitely be back!!! Wonderful property and hosts!

Amazing house & location- Book it!

This is our second time renting from Melissa and Ken, but our first in this new property and we absolutely LOVED it! They have done a beautiful job updating this house and it had literally everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The house was spotless and super spacious for our family. The pool was great and the outdoor game and seating room was perfect for the adults and kids. We rode the bikes or walked to the beach every day. The location was perfect! We loved taking in the views of the lagoon as we sipped our coffee in the morning. The owners and property manager, Mike, were so accommodating and responsive. We definitely recommend this property and will be coming back again!

Great house & location!

The property is as shown in the pictures and the reviews are completely accurate! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you need for a week's stay. We heated the pool and spa & it was warm all week. Mike checked in on us and handled a few issues with the pool & cable very quickly. Bikes were great as were the beach chairs & umbrella (came in handy as weather was warmer than expected). Location in PD is great, easy bike over to shops at Shelter Cove. Beach access is very close and easy to bike or walk to if needed. Only bummer is the trees are constantly dropping/shedding so the pool got filled with pollen and moss (?) so we had to skim it all the time. We would skim and be in the pool and it would be filling as we swam. Not sure if that is b/c the time of year or will happen all the time. Advice - take bug spray, sunscreen (especially on windy days!) & allergy medicine! Thanks for a fun week!

Palmetto Dunes - family fun!

We loved our time spent with family at this comfortable home in Palmetto Dunes. We enjoyed morning runs in the peaceful neighborhood along the quiet shaded streets. The beach is just a few blocks away making it easy for little ones to ride their bikes and easy to push a stroller there. Public parking at the beach is just a mile away near the guard building. The pool at the home is great and the kiddos and adults enjoyed the water and spa. (Inquire about the heating fee). The house has lots of toys and pool toys. The landscaping in the backyard was done nicely and well-maintained (since you’ll be out there swimming you may wonder LOL) Although there is a lot of trees on the property there is plenty of sun to be had at the pool. The covered lower part of the home at pool level was super nice to get out of the sun and still be a part of the action. The kiddos enjoyed lunch there often. We fished off of the dock of the lagoon but only one fish was caught all week (this may be salt water here and not fresh?) A small gator and lots of wildlife were seen. A young deer even enjoyed the property two of the mornings and nibbled on the bushes. We enjoyed the screened in porch for morning coffee and a quiet start to the day. The house itself was great with plenty of room for all. Our family likes cooking meals and grilling together. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a Keurig and also a regular coffee pot. Lots of positives so we will be back. Thank you again Ken and Melissa! : )

Host profile image
My husband and I just purchased this home in August 2022 and are so excited to have you as our guests! We currently reside in the suburbs of Chicago, but have made Hilton Head an annual vacation destination for our family for many years. We love everything about the island - the weather, the beaches, the endless bike rides and I can't forget the golf! It has always been a dream of ours to have a home in Hilton Head that we could escape to and now that dream has come true!

Why they chose this property

We hope that you will fall in love with this home just like we have. Whether you enjoy relaxing in your own private pool, digging your toes in the sand at the beach, kayaking or fishing this house has it all! We love the private community feel of Palmetto Dunes, the countless amenities and of course the shopping and dining options at Shelter Cove.

This home is ready for you to enjoy and make memories that will last a lifetime!

What makes this property unique

A family resort designed to make lasting memories. Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is located at the heart of Hilton Head Island, named the #1 Beach Town in the US by Parents Magazine. Palmetto Dunes’ three miles of sun-kissed Atlantic Ocean beachfront provide the perfect venue for three world-class golf courses, vacation rentals, a full-service marina, and an 11-mile lagoon system. The resort enjoys a well-earned reputation for creating unforgettable vacation experiences for the entire family. It’s no coincidence, as vacationers return year after year, many decide to make Palmetto Dunes their permanent residence.
