Our family (3 adults & dog) enjoyed our vacation week at this villa. It is very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The layout of the house is great. Each of the bedroom's opens to it's own deck and each deck is accessible via the living room also. The kitchen was well supplied with. The beach and pool are a close walk away. A hose is located underneath the house to rinse off sand before entering the villa. The owners are very nice, live in another development nearby and keep the house well-maintained.

For activities we went to beach every day. It was nice that 4 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, 2 boogie boards, and a noodle are provided to use. We also went wave-running 2x at Sea Monkeys Watersports because we had such a fun time there, as they have a huge area to ride. We also went bike riding around the island. We also walked around Shelter Cove Marina with our dog (early or late in day when it's cooler and less crowded).

We walked to Conroy's (in Mariott), and Alexander's for delicious, reasonably-priced early-bird dinner specials. If you don't want to walk, you can take advantage of using the free Palmetto Dunes Buggy service (free shuttle service - appreciate tips) that takes you around between Palmetto Dunes and Shelter Cove. We also went to Bonefish Grille on Wednesday for $5 Bang-bang shrimp (their martinis are also moderately priced), and then dinner. All these places take reservations, just call about 2 hrs ahead of time. We also ordered take-out dinner from Kenny B's (New Orleans food/cajun) and their gator tails, shrimp and grits, and voodoo pasta are excellent! For pizza we tried take-out from Fat Baby's Pizza on Arrow Rd which we enjoyed and they have seating there if you want to eat in.

We definitely plan on renting this villa ("Paradise") in the future and we recommend staying here! Hilton Head Island is a very family-oriented and beautiful vacation area.
