Great location and easy walk to beach

We booked our trip pretty late and had a hard time finding something the week of Easter, but luckily this condo was available. The owners were fantastic to work with and the beach cart, umbrella and chairs provided were very appreciated. The location is only a .4 mile walk to the beach and it’s paved the entire way. Also, the bathrooms on the beach access were super convenient. The condo was very clean and I had no complaints about the amenities. I was actual surprised by how comfortable the beds were. I would happily rent again!

Great location!

My husband and I stayed at Joann's condo for almost a month. The location is great, very close to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. The condo itself is very clean and comfortable, not quite as spacious as it looks in the pictures, but very comfortable nontheless. The condo was well stocked with everhthing you might need and they even have beach chairs for guests to use. Joann was very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her place...thanks for a lovely stay Joann!

3 day Hilton Head trip

This 2 bedroom condo ( slept 6) was nice, clean and of a convenient central location on the island—- everything was within a 10-15 drive or closer. We only ventured to the beach 1 day and chose to park in Coligny parking and attend the public beach there. Had we walked from the condo to the closest public beach it would have been quite a walk—- doable but a distance. The owner of the condo was very nice and responsive to all questions—.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We enjoying hosting your family and would love to welcome you back to our condo in the future. I’m sorry that you drove to Coligny beach. That is definitely a mile away from our condo. However, the closet public beach is Alder Beach access. It’s just a 5 minute walk from the condo to the beach and much more convenient.

Visiting HHI for The Heritage Golf Tournament

My husband and I, with our daughter and 10-year old grandson, were visiting HHI for The Heritage golf tournament. Hidden Dunes was a perfect space for us and JoAnn, the property contact, could not have been more attentive. All check-in and check-out info was clear and well communicated. She checked on us several times and took care of a small issue we had in a speedy and generous manner. Although we didn't spend much time in the villa and ate few meals there, it was well stocked and JoAnn seemed to have thought of everything necessary for a stay. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others.

Great owner but ...

Owner very kind and helpful however we encountered several problems. Lots of bugs- silverfish, roach, etc. For what we paid, I would expect good, quality bedding. We had difficulty getting in in the dark/ pouring rain trying to use the wall mounted non-functional code pad. Cleaning crew is not deep cleaning nor changing dead light bulbs (over vanity). With a little attention this could be a great small rental 7-8 min from beach.

Angela, thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, in South Carolina, Summer is the worst time for bugs. Our HOA treats for pests monthly but sometimes it takes more. When you informed us of the problem at departure, we had a private company come the next business day to re-treat. I’m sorry the extra keypad confused you. We say in our instructions to use the keypad by the door knob. The extra lockbox holds a spare key in case of an issue with the electronic lock. Our cleaning company provides the linens and we have had no complaints on the quality of them or of their work. However, we did forward your comments to them so their inspection team can monitor more closely. Thank you for letting us know of your issues we are always looking to improve.

A beautiful second story condo in a great location for a short walk or bike ride to the beach!!!

This a great place to stay Lisa is so kind, helpful, very accommodating and super friendly....make sure stairs aren't a issue...... it's a very clean place to stay....the beds are very very soft(not a issue if you like that but my pregant daughter struggled getting out of the bed, pregnancy issues 😆).....make sure to bring extra Paper towels, napkins, dish tabs and laundry/dish soap or run to the store like we did, she does provide a few but we cooked alot and cleaned up alot so they lasted 2 of 6 days.....The walk to the beach is so quick and if you rent bikes like we did get baskets for everyone because she provides the beach toys, Umbrella and chairs(so nice to have there) so you have things to carry them.... Over all the place and location is perfect we will be back if it's available Thank You so much again!!!!

We loved this condo. The location was great especially with kids. A quick walk to the beach and the playground near by was awesome! It was the perfect home base for our trip. We just wish the weather was a little warmer in mid March and the pool was filled (but it does say it opens April 1). The host was very easy to communicate with and had sweet touches for her guests.

About the host

Hosted by JoAnn Van Alstyne

Host profile image
We visited HHI for the very first time in the Fall of 2020 and fell in love immediately. We both grew up visiting the beaches of Florida (Clearwater, Pensacola) but the ambience and amenities of Hilton Head blow those places out of the water. The wide, smooth, beaches are perfect for walking or biking and the layout of the island makes for breathtaking sunsets and sunrises. We love the ability to eat at amazing restaurants and ride bikes to everything we might want to do while still being close to our home in Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

The Dunes Villas are so conveniently located. We wanted something close enough to the beach to make access for us and our children simple while also being on some of the many bike trails of HHI. The Dunes is perfect for that being directly across the street from a full public park/beach access and right on a bike trail. We can walk (or bike) to Coligny or any of the nearby restaurants and our kids can play at Lowcountry Celebration Park.
