Great location!

Our family of four (plus dog) stayed here during the holidays. The location can’t be beat, especially since it’s a 2-minute walk to the beach. The place itself is a bit dated, but we found it to be very comfortable and cozy. The owner was super responsive when we needed a second parking pass at check-in time.

A location

The location and complex this unit is in was everything! The unit was exactly as described. Dated but clean and spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The location was superb. Just a quick walk over to the ocean. My puppy dog loved being here - we were able to go to the beach many times during the day because it was so close. Host was really responsive too. Thank you!

Great get away!

This place has an ideal location near the ocean, pickleball, golf, bike riding and a couple places to eat. The condo has a nice layout with beds, bathrooms and porch spaces on each side with shared common area. We planned to take our dog but at last minute decided against bringing her and the owner was very understanding and returned pet money. Check in/out was simple. Love the Palmetto Dunes area!

Great stay on Hilton Head Island.

Wonderful stay ! The pictures do not do the place justice. The proximity of the property to the beach can't be beat. (Only 300 steps from door to sand) We were so grateful that Michael allows pets as we were able to take our senior dog "Annie" with us. We highly recommend this property. Plan on returning.

First time staying in Hilton Head and boy did we luck out with this place. Can’t beat the close proximity to the beach and the spaciousness/amenities at this condo. We loved walking to the Dune House for seaside meals, the general store and Alexander’s. We had so much fun biking around this beautiful island and beach walking with our mini snauzer, Roxky Thanks for sharing your condo!

Outstanding location and amenities

Had a great time including long walks on the beach with our dog. The condo is well equipped and comfortable with at least 3 flatscreen TVs which we enjoyed when not busy with the many other activities available to us. Close to shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis. The owner is helpful and responsive. Bottom line: I am making reservations for two more weeks for 2012

We had a great stay. Appliances have been updated. Had everything we needed ad expect out of a beach rental. The pool is right outside. Kids loved it. Plenty of other dogs around and you can’t beat being a two minute walk to the sand. Owner is super responsive. Thanks Michael!
