A group of 9 friends rented this house for a long weekend for a Pickleball retreat. It was the perfect house to accommodate all of us and every one of us said we would love to come back. It truly is just a short walk to the beach and pickleball courts and there is a really nice oceanfront restaurant practically right nextdoor to the house. We got to chat with the owner once, too, and he was incredibly helpful. The house was fully stocked right down to the little details that they leave small shampoos and soaps and detergents for you to use. Plenty of towels and really anything you could think you need is there at the house already. Love it. Definitely coming back!

This was our 20 trip to HHI. Fifteen of those have been with our daughters, son-in-laws, and now 5 grandchildren. We usually start counting the day's until next year. This house has been the best in many ways. Great communication with Gordon, and the property was right on target as described. Already planning for next year. ONWARD & UPWARD!

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.
