Luxury Remodeled Direct-Oceanfront Penthouse--Panoramic Ocean and Beach Views!

About the Property
2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 balconies in Villamare--A Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront complex with brand new pools, grilling area, and firepit!

PALMETTO-SUNRISE-ON-THE-OCEAN (3525 Villamare)
We offer our guests a completely remodeled luxury villa with a new and updated floor plan featuring a Gourmet Kitchen, Living Room with a 49 inch 4K Smart TV, free wifi, dining for five guests, and a King Master Suite and Guest Suite, both with gorgeous bathrooms and Smart TVs! There is keyless entry, so no more losing or trying to keep track of keys!

The state-of-the-art Gourmet Kitchen countertops are Azul Imperial quartzite, a stunning and unique five star azure blue stone which establishes the ocean/beach decorative theme of the unit. The cabinetry has glass door accents, roll out shelves, double tiered silverware drawer, and many other customized features. The Gourmet Kitchen also includes a fireclay farmhouse sink; Le Creuset and All-Clad cookware; island with countertop and seating for two; and luxury appliances including a 36 inch paneled refrigerator with ice maker; oven and microwave combination; beverage cooler; paneled dishwasher, and brand new (2024) front load washer and dryer.

The Living Room features lovely Capri furniture and a 49-inch Smart TV with DVR capability. It opens onto a balcony which has Breezesta bar-height furniture carefully chosen to enhance the enjoyment of the panoramic and unobstructed beach and ocean views, some of the loveliest on Hilton Head. The Dining Area seats five.

The Master Suite also opens onto this balcony. It has a King bed, 40 inch smart TV, luxury bathroom with large shower, Azul Imperial Extra quartzite countertops, Egyptian Marble vessel sinks, and Kohler Brushed Bronze fixtures, lovely flumed faucets, and a large closet.

The Guest Suite has two queen beds, a 40 inch Smart TV, a sitting area and writing desk. Its bathroom also has the Azul Imperial Extra quartzite countertop; premium flume faucets; Kohler Brushed Bronze fixtures and shower/bathtub door; and mosaic sinks. This bedroom has its own balcony, again with stunning oceanfront penthouse views and premium Breezesta "tete-a-tete" bar height furniture.

We named "Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean" for the breathtaking panoramic sunrise views from our indoor and outdoor furniture. The villa's decor is inspired by its coastal setting and its close proximity to world-class golf and tennis. Throughout the unit are lovely prints of beautiful Hilton Head scenes painted by local artist Candace Lovely and chosen carefully to fit the individual wall spaces. The owners work diligently to insure our guests have the absolute finest possible vacation experience in our rebuilt unit. We manage the property ourselves and are full-time residents of Hilton Head, so we give our guests prompt, responsive, and superior service.

The owners also pride themselves on meticulous care of this property, with frequent inspections, inventories, and deep cleanings to insure our guests' comfort and satisfaction. The recent "care agenda" included new sliding glass/screen door sets throughout the unit; a new washer and dryer; replacement of all of the unit's area rugs; and the purchase of a variety of new accessories, along with the routine and regular HVAC maintenance and mechanical inspections. Over the years we have developed relationships with the best teams on the island to insure that Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean is ALWAYS in the best possible condition!

VILLAMARE
Villamare's ecently reconstructed and expanded pool area has an Ocean Front Family Pool with water/splash features, accompanied by a dedicated spa and newly expanded sundecks. It is nestled in a 3 tier deck area for sunning and viewing the ocean. The second brand new beachfront Serenity Pool has a companion lounging deck area and spa area. Our renovated grilling area has new gas grills and a lovely gas fire pit, perfect for family and friend gatherings. These new state-of-the-art amenities make Villamare a top vacation destination not only in Palmetto Dunes, but on all of Hilton Head Island!

Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean overlooks this gorgeous new Family Pool and its beautiful curved decking. Villamare is a top rated oceanfront resort noted for its beautiful grounds, lagoons, health club with indoor heated swimming pool, heated Jacuzzi, steam sauna, and extensive fitness facility. These services and amenities are included at no additional cost.

In addition, our guests have access to two hours of free tennis or pickle ball play at the nationally renowned Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickle Ball Center, only 5 minute walk away from Villamare. NOTE: Pickle Ball is great fun and is extremely popular and one of the fastest growing sports in the US!

PALMETTO DUNES
Villamare is centrally located in the Palmetto Dunes community, so it is a short walk not only to the Tennis and Pickle Ball Center, but also to the beloved "General Store"; and Hilton Head Outfitters for renting bikes, kayaks, and canoes. The world-class Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio, and Arthur Hills Golf Courses are no more than three minutes away by car.

Palmetto Dunes is located in the middle of Hilton Head Island, which makes it very convenient to all of the island's attractions and shopping, including world-famous Harbour Town at Sea Pines, Coligny Plaza, Shelter Cove Marina, and Shelter Cove Towne Center, with its beautiful waterfront park on Broad Creek.

We hope to see you on our lovely Hilton Head Island soon!

Kevin and Evans April Vacation

First, I have to say that I do not know the owners of the condo. That being said, this property is spectacular! The view is beyond what they they describe. Oh my God, it is GREAT. The condo itself is great too. The kitchen has all the supplies you need and they are good quality. The decorating is top of the line and the beds are so comfortable. The pool area is fantastic and you are so close to the ocean. We had trouble getting the cable where we could 15 years now and this is the BEST watch regular TV and Mike came over personally and got it working. This is 10 star property!

Beautiful Condo in the Perfect Location

We were looking for a place to stay with direct views of the water. This fit the bill perfectly. The condo appears to be somewhat newly renovated. There are four beach chairs available in the entry closet. The beds are pretty comfortable, the wifi is great, and the view can't be beat! The only minor issue that has been mentioned in some other reviews is the sun streaming in the windows in the morning is bright. Blackout curtains or shades would be nice. The wife ended up draping an extra blanket over the shades to help keep it out for the kids. Getting in and out of the community is easy, just remember to stop at office at the entry to Palmetto Dunes and not the security stop further into the community to pick up your parking pass. The family pool is nice and has wide stairs and a splash area for littles. There are bathrooms nearby. The beach is fabulous. Tidepools formed every afternoon that provided lots of adventures. It is close to Coligny without being in the heart of traffic. We would definitely stay here again if we head back to HHI. The hosts were wonderful and provide a lot of helpful information regarding the condo and the area.

Beautiful Condo but prefer Sea Pines

If you are used to staying in condos and don't mind noise and a crowded beach, then this condo is highly recommended. This particular condo is exactly as listed: immaculately clean, comfortable furniture and well stocked kitchen. The owner is easily reachable and responds almost immediately. The main issue we had was that the condo overlooks the family pool so it was loud from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. I like to sit on the balcony and listen to the ocean just as much as being on the beach and it was hard to hear the ocean waves over the pool noise. We usually stay in private homes directly on the beach that are quiet and less crowded so this was a let down for us. We have stayed in Hilton Head many times, but this is our first stay in Palmetto Dunes. Previously we have stayed in Sea Pines and we found Palmetto Dunes to be a step below Sea Pines. There aren't as many bike paths and things to bike to. Also, the beach was overly crowded compared to Sea Pines. It took away from the relaxation we had previously experienced and were looking forward to. The condo itself is 5 stars, and for us the area is maybe a 3 or 4.

Gorgeous View

Janice is a great host. Our family came to HHI for our anniversary and vow renewal and this rental was amazing. Janice even sent us an anniversary gift which was so sweet. Condo is exactly as the photos. It’s very clean with a well stocked kitchen. You will have everything you need to make family meals. The complex family pool is amazing. We loved the beach but preferred the pool and chairs. The beds were comfy and all 5 of us slept great. The only issue we had was the washer did not work but Janice was very responsive and tried to get it fixed and even offered her own personal home to wash our clothes in. Lucky for us we had family staying in Palmetto Dunes too so we just washed towels there. Great owner, great complex, best vacation ever. We would definitely stay here again.

Bright, spacious, and a killer view!

Upon entering, our first reaction was, “What a view!” The ocean is front and center through the large windows in the living room and both bedrooms. This is a beautiful and very comfortable condo. The rooms are large. The furnishings and linens are quality. Everything is well done. It is in an excellent location in the middle of the island, within walking distance of the general store and a great restaurant, Alexander’s. Be sure to rent some e-bikes from Avacado’s—so fun riding on the beach! A great stay!

My mom, sister and I were able to enjoy this lovely condo during the week of Thanksgiving. Jan had everything that we needed - turkey roaster, baster, crock pot and a wine cooler. The condo was clean when we arrived and everything in the kitchen was so organized. The location is amazing - you can't much closer to the ocean without actually being in it! We were lucky to watch some amazing sunrises! We look forward to our next stay at this beautiful condo!

About the host

Hosted by Jan McKelvey

Host profile image
Michael and Janice McKelvey were married in 1977 and have two children: Michelle, 34; and Blake, 32 While we lived in Arlington, VA for 45+ years, Mike retired in January 2020 and we moved to the Wexford community on Hilton Head, although we still have a small apartment in the Rosslyn section of Arlington. Mike is a Williams graduate and has his Ph.D. from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; during the last 25 years of his career he ran large companies which administered clinical trials for new pharmaceuticals. Jan is a Smith College alumna and had a career in Performing Arts Management before our two children were born. She is still a Docent at the Library of Congress and also at Hillwood Museum and Gardens, both in Washington, D.C.. We bought in Villamare when our children were young, and our wonderful family times there over the years are priceless. We love the complex so much that we bought Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean, 3525 Villamare, in December of 2016. Jan loves managing our gorgeous Villamare propertiy--a new and cherished career in her life!

Why they chose this property

Here is why we bought in Hilton Head and at Villamare:
1) We wanted a vibrant year-round community which would not feel like "Winter in a Summer Town" during the fall, winter and spring. Hilton Head has a 25,000+ year round population and is known for its good schools and municipal services.
2) We were very impressed with the Charles Frazier's vision of Hilton Head, which is why so many of the island's environment and ecosystems are preserved and cared for today. It is a pleasure to come to Hilton Head and not see large swaths of beautiful beach and marine forests decimated, as happens in other coastal communities.
3) Villamare is centrally located in Palmetto Dunes and on the island, and has a gorgeous oceanfront orientation.
4) Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean has a premiere view of the ocean and beach of Hilton Head Island. The views don't get much better, if at all, from any villa on the island. We are proud to offer this experience to our guests.

What makes this property unique

Palmetto-Sunrise-On-The-Ocean is on the top (5th) floor. We have unsurpassed views of the beach and the ocean because we are so high up; in addition, we have more privacy than most units and very little, if any, noise. When this unit came on the market, Mike turned to Janice and said, "We are doing this. The opportunity to own this unit is WAY too good to pass up."
