About this property

Renovated- PRIVATE BEACH ACCESS-Lagoon-Large Lot -Fenced Yard

HIGHLY RATED HOME - This very spacious, one level, 4BR/3.5BA home is beautifully decorated in a coastal theme in the highly desirable Palmetto Dunes (PD). Fenced back yard at base of gorgeous lagoon.

Hilton Head Island was voted #1 Island in the US for 2023 by Conde Naste Traveler and Southern Living voted the beaches of Hilton Head #1 Best in the South in 2022!

Palmetto Dunes (PD), a gated oceanfront, resort community has been named to the Top 25 of Travel + Leisure magazine's list of the World's Best Family Resort. Palmetto Dunes was named #14 of Best Resort in the South - Readers Choice Award 2021 by Condenast Traveler. The Tennis and Pickleball Center were warded the 2021 Hilton Head Monthly Reader's Chocie Award.

According to Golf Week 2018 The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course at Palmetto Dunes Resort was recently in the top 15 courses you can play in South Carolina!

Tennis Resorts Online ranked the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center #17 in the world for Best Tennis Resort overall. The Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center also ranks #3 in the world for Best Overall Children's Programs and #4 for best Instruction & Programming. And the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Pro Shop ranks #2 for best pro shops. Tennis Resorts Online is a critical guide to the world's best tennis resorts and tennis camps compiled by Roger Cox, who has more than 25 years of experience writing about tennis travel. The tennis center offers daily clinics for all levels of players, afternoon round robins on clay courts as well as pickle ball courts.

Palmetto Dunes has earned this distinction by providing a world-class golf experience alongside vacations that will delight the entire family. PD is approximately 2,000 acres and offers three miles of sunny Atlantic Ocean Beachfront with three world class golf courses, an award winning tennis center and an 11 mile lagoon perfect for kayaking, fishing and exploring the pristine natural environment. Bike paths are located throughout the resort and lead to the beach. Bikes can be rented on site within the resort and delivered to our home. The PD General Store offers a food counter that is the best breakfast and lunch around!

The entire home is decorated in soothing coastal pallet. Entering the home, you will find a large brick foyer overlooking the den and dining area. There is one small step down to the den with rich hardwood floors, queen sleeper sofa with matching love seat and two swivel club chairs. The intimate den includes a large coffee table, end tables, big screen smart television with surround sound. The den is separate from the living room so plenty of space to spread out and watch movies or sports - your pick!

The foyer also leads to the large living room with new hardwood floors, accent rugs and a mirrored wall. The living room offers a 60" screen smart television with surround sound, a second queen sleeper sofa with matching love seat, two swivel club chairs, and an over-sized side chair. Additionally there is a bar-height table for 4 that is perfect for puzzles, games, snacks or meals. There are lots of games and puzzles to enjoy on your vacation in the cabinet nearby.

Located in the foyer is a large closet that is the location of the linens for the sleeper sofas and also is the "family clostet". I have included things parents might need like band-aids, beach themed bath toys (take a set home with you!) two booster chairs, plastic divided serving plates, pac n play, bicycle pump and misc. items you are welcome to use during your stay.

Also accessible from the foyer is the 1/2 bath that connects to the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops, spacious center island, wall oven/microwave/warmer, electric cooktop and ASKO dishwasher. Ample appliances include a Keurig, regular coffee pot, waffle maker, quesadilla maker, Nutri-bullet and panini press. There is coastal themed dinnerware (set for 16) and acrylic glasses and plates for by the pool snacking. Off the kitchen is a four person countertop height table that overlooks the pool. Adjacent to the kitchen is a wet bar with copper sink, granite countertops, ample stemware and beverage cooler. Past the wet bar is the dining area that seats six. Located adjacent to the wet bar is a cabinet filled with plastic wear (bowls, silicone wine glasses, plates, etc. ) for pool side snacking!

The laundry room is located off the kitchen, just past the breakfast nook. There is a drying rack to use during your stay along with ironing board/iron.

The master bedroom suite is at the back of the house and offers a two-post king bed, antique desk, large leather chair, two new vanities and large walk-in closet. A black and white HP laser printer also supplied for your use.

The brick patio with pergola is accessed from two double doors off the master suite. Doors have roll up shade for privacy. There is a very large tile shower with double shower heads and privacy shade.

The remaining three bedrooms are located on a wing at the front of the house. There is a small step down from the foyer to the hardwood hallway that leads to a full a bath (turtle motif) with a walk-in tile shower, glass sliding doors and double vanities. The adjacent bedroom has two double beds with upholstered headboards, large dresser and new smart tv.

The third bedroom is very large and offers two queen beds and a separate seating area with a sofa and game/puzzle table. The bedroom offers a smart tv and DVD player. This area is especially for the "little ones" and has a toy box filled with fun to include blocks, trucks, wooden puzzles, etc. This area also has Color Wonder Paper and Markers and Adult Coloring books/colored pencils.

The fourth bedroom at the end of the hall, fronting the street, has one queen bed, two night stands with lamps and side chair. The third and fourth bedrooms share a full bath with a tub/shower.

The entire back yard is enclosed by either a black wrought iron fence or beautiful stucco walls with brick columns. An iron gate opens and leads you to the lagoon. The home sits at the mouth of the lagoon and the view is top notch. Watch the tropical birds and see the alligators bask in the sun. Outside the gate on the lagoon is a dock perfect for freshwater fishing or viewing wildlife from two polywood swivel bar stools.

Double doors off the dining area lead to the pool, which is very large in comparison to most in Hilton Head. A new liner was installed in fall 2023.There are three steps leading to the shallow end and a deep end with wall ladder. The pool is very private and offers both sun and shade during the day. There is a table for six with umbrella if you care to snack or dine by the pool along with a new gas grill. There are also 5 new Polywood loungers. We welcome you to bring your own floats, but ask that you take them out of the pool when not in use so the skimmers can operate effectively. There area also has five large Polywood Adirondack chairs with side tables perfect for sitting by the pool or move them over to the patio step away if you prefer.

There is also a hammock in the back yard to those nice summer afternoon naps while listening to the sounds of the low country. Just inside the gate overlooking the lagoon is a firepit. Put down a towel and "Sit by the fire on a cool evening and roast marshmallows with the family."

Great Vacation Spot!

My group was highly satisfied with this home. It was very spacious and clean and in a great location. The host was amazing and answered all my questions very quickly. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The men kept busy fishing in the lagoon behind the house while the women and kids enjoyed the large private pool in the backyard. We utilized the Dunes Buggy free transportation service to easily get to and from the beach each day. Highly recommend!

Terrific property!

Host was accessible and accommodating. 4 spacious bedrooms, beautiful pool. Very private, located on a lagoon “cull de sac”. Lagoon was teaming with life, a plethora of turtles were always at the dock. Standouts: Awesome selection of spices, minimal work at checkout(cleaning crew takes care of most of it) Very responsive and accommodating hostess. Favorite property on HH to date, would stay there again if available next visit.

HHI for R&R

Making a return to Hilton Head after an almost 20 year absence. Decided to go the VRBO instead of the traditional Hotel/Resort route. This house turned out to be in a great location, well kept, recently renovated, plenty of room to spread out and have your own space. That was just the house, the owner Carol was awesome to work with, great back and forth communications. Would definitely consider booking again if and when we return to HHI.

About the host

Hosted by Carol

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in Hilton Head for over 35 years. It has always been our home away from home and our children have grown up enjoying the wide, sandy beaches of Hilton Head, although we reside in NC. We take pride in our properties and try to think of everything you would need during your stay so you come back year after year.

I furnished this home with families in mind and included a special child's area in one of the larger bedrooms with a toy box/toys, books, children's dvds, small sofa and, kid table/chairs. There is Crayola Wonder paper and markers, as well as other coloring and activity books. There is also a family closet stocked with a choice of small gifts for your younger children to take home to remember their stay on Hilton Head. The family closet also includes band aids, bike pump, Pac N Play, booster seats and plastic dinnerware for small kids. The home also has plasticware for by the pool, so you can always enjoy your time and no worry about something breaking. I also furnish some beach towels, but ask you wash and replace upon departure.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located in Palmetto Dunes and a short walk or bike ride to beach (one mile) general store (best breakfast on the island!) and tennis/pickleball.The very large swimming pool is private under the beautiful oak trees, but also has lots of sun for the bathers. Lay in the hammock and overlook the lagoon with tropical birds and other wildlife. During the summer the Dunes Buggy, a free van service can take you to the beach at the Dunes House or shopping and restaurants in Shelter Cove. Dunes House is oceanfront with food and drinks and entertainment as scheduled.

What makes this property unique

The view of the lagoon is fabulous. I love to go out in the morning with my coffee and watch the tropical birds fly over and land on the bank. It is also common to see lots of turtles and alligators. However, the back yard is totally enclosed by either fencing or a beautiful brick wall, so no need to worry about the "critters" coming up near the pool.
