Perfect Family Retreat

Beautiful home with all the ammenities needed for our family of 6 adults and 5 kids under 5. Excellent location with a very short walk to the beach. Grateful for the beach wagon to haul all the sand toys (provided by host). Lovely community to explore with bikes or walking. Also a short distance from Coligny Beach Park shopping and grocery store less than 5 minutes. Our host was very quick to respond to all questions prior to visit. And also quick to respond when the refrigerator stopped cooling. Luckily there is an additional fridge in the home we could use. Repair service was able to fix fridge and our host compensated us for the inconvience. We would definately stay here again for a future family vacation.

Best Kitchen and Beach Gear Ever

We were able to cook dinners every night-no shortage of pots/skillets/mixing bowls. There was a fully stocked slice lazy Susan for any possible needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool. All 10 of us had a beach chair-the wagons made it easy to transport everything. Our pregnant daughter especially loved the pop up tent to sit in the shade. We plan to use this property again when the grandsons are a few years older.

If you read any of the other wonderful reviews…just ditto that. Property and hosts were magnificent! Every thing was exactly how it was described and best ever equipped for a beach trip. The wildlife in the backyard of deer, and a bald eagle were a plus.

Great family vacation

We were a family of grandparents, children and grandchildren. We loved the location - only a few minutes was to the beach. Also the beach was fairly private - you could tell it was much less crowded than the public beach farther down. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The listing says it has service for 12, but there is a lot more plates, cups and silverware than that. No need to bring your own. We all loved the pool and the very private back yard. The owners respond very quickly with any questions you have.

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.
