Honey Dew

The house was adorable with such cute decor. Everything worked as expected and the communication with the Manager was great. Mooreland Village is so quaint and quiet for just the right amount of relaxing energy. It was nice to have access to a Golf Cart and Bikes.

Luxury on a former plantation

The house and amenities are stellar. The house is fantastic. We swam, used the gym, walked, went to a yoga class, boated, etc... The house is a 3 bedroom with one room on the ground floor which was great for my parents. The owners sent in a repair person for the television without letting us know. We had valuables out and came home to find two people in the house who were there for 2 hours. That was not so great. The other thing to know is that this is a very upscale almost exclusively white resort and it is on a former cotton plantation. The town of Bluffton is also almost exclusively white. This was not comfortable for us and I would have made a different decision had I understood what we were getting in to.

House could use some TLC

Love Palmetto Bluff and the house itself was beautiful but lacked a lot compared to other houses we have stayed at in Palmetto Bluff. TV instructions weren’t correct, correct remotes were hidden in cabinets while non working remotes were out on tables. Living room TV never worked right, did not have YouTube TV as stated. Microwave broke, pipes in bathroom roar when using hot water. House was not well thought out for guests. Sheets were inexpensive as were the pillows. I would not rent this one again with so many other wonderful choices at Palmetto Bluff.
