The entire home is decorated in soothing coastal pallet. Entering the home, you will find a large brick foyer overlooking the den and dining area. There is one small step down to the den with rich hardwood floors, queen sleeper sofa with matching love seat and two swivel club chairs. The intimate den includes a large coffee table, end tables, big screen smart television with surround sound. The den is separate from the living room so plenty of space to spread out and watch movies or sports - your pick!
The foyer also leads to the large living room with new hardwood floors, accent rugs and a mirrored wall. The living room offers a 60" screen smart television with surround sound, a second queen sleeper sofa with matching love seat, two swivel club chairs, and an over-sized side chair. Additionally there is a bar-height table for 4 that is perfect for puzzles, games, snacks or meals. There are lots of games and puzzles to enjoy on your vacation in the cabinet nearby.
Located in the foyer is a large closet that is the location of the linens for the sleeper sofas and also is the "family clostet". I have included things parents might need like band-aids, beach themed bath toys (take a set home with you!) two booster chairs, plastic divided serving plates, pac n play, bicycle pump and misc. items you are welcome to use during your stay.
Also accessible from the foyer is the 1/2 bath that connects to the kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops, spacious center island, wall oven/microwave/warmer, electric cooktop and ASKO dishwasher. Ample appliances include a Keurig, regular coffee pot, waffle maker, quesadilla maker, Nutri-bullet and panini press. There is coastal themed dinnerware (set for 16) and acrylic glasses and plates for by the pool snacking. Off the kitchen is a four person countertop height table that overlooks the pool. Adjacent to the kitchen is a wet bar with copper sink, granite countertops, ample stemware and beverage cooler. Past the wet bar is the dining area that seats six. Located adjacent to the wet bar is a cabinet filled with plastic wear (bowls, silicone wine glasses, plates, etc. ) for pool side snacking!
The laundry room is located off the kitchen, just past the breakfast nook. There is a drying rack to use during your stay along with ironing board/iron.
The master bedroom suite is at the back of the house and offers a two-post king bed, antique desk, large leather chair, two new vanities and large walk-in closet. A black and white HP laser printer also supplied for your use.
The brick patio with pergola is accessed from two double doors off the master suite. Doors have roll up shade for privacy. There is a very large tile shower with double shower heads and privacy shade.
The remaining three bedrooms are located on a wing at the front of the house. There is a small step down from the foyer to the hardwood hallway that leads to a full a bath (turtle motif) with a walk-in tile shower, glass sliding doors and double vanities. The adjacent bedroom has two double beds with upholstered headboards, large dresser and new smart tv.
The third bedroom is very large and offers two queen beds and a separate seating area with a sofa and game/puzzle table. The bedroom offers a smart tv and DVD player. This area is especially for the "little ones" and has a toy box filled with fun to include blocks, trucks, wooden puzzles, etc. This area also has Color Wonder Paper and Markers and Adult Coloring books/colored pencils.
The fourth bedroom at the end of the hall, fronting the street, has one queen bed, two night stands with lamps and side chair. The third and fourth bedrooms share a full bath with a tub/shower.
The entire back yard is enclosed by either a black wrought iron fence or beautiful stucco walls with brick columns. An iron gate opens and leads you to the lagoon. The home sits at the mouth of the lagoon and the view is top notch. Watch the tropical birds and see the alligators bask in the sun. Outside the gate on the lagoon is a dock perfect for freshwater fishing or viewing wildlife from two polywood swivel bar stools.
Double doors off the dining area lead to the pool, which is very large in comparison to most in Hilton Head. A new liner was installed in fall 2023.There are three steps leading to the shallow end and a deep end with wall ladder. The pool is very private and offers both sun and shade during the day. There is a table for six with umbrella if you care to snack or dine by the pool along with a new gas grill. There are also 5 new Polywood loungers. We welcome you to bring your own floats, but ask that you take them out of the pool when not in use so the skimmers can operate effectively. There area also has five large Polywood Adirondack chairs with side tables perfect for sitting by the pool or move them over to the patio step away if you prefer.
There is also a hammock in the back yard to those nice summer afternoon naps while listening to the sounds of the low country. Just inside the gate overlooking the lagoon is a firepit. Put down a towel and "Sit by the fire on a cool evening and roast marshmallows with the family."

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rays home in Hilton Head. The roomy home was perfect for a large family of all ages, with plenty of room to spread out to rest and play games. The fabulous yard, private pool, and neighborhood provide the perfect outdoor setting for vacation during any season. We hope to visit again!

I was completely wowed by the level of communication with the host.
The house was big and roomy with all the needed amenities
Thanks for a lot of memories
Great home for Family vacation including toddler. Great location, close to restaurants, shopping, all types of outdoor sports. Owner very helpful with every need. Beautiful Home wonderfully equipped with everything. We can't wait to go back!
13 of us stayed here for a friends bachelorette party and it was beautiful! Couldn’t not have asked for a better weekend! Carol was great and super responsive to the questions we had and suggestions! The house has everything you would need for a comfortable stay rain or shine! The house is pretty far back in the neighborhood but if you don’t mind to walk or a quick shuttle ride to the beach it’s not a big deal! We were so happy with our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay within the Palmetto Dunes community. The house was cozy and fit our family and we really enjoyed the pool and fishing off the private dock. Palmetto Dunes has it all. We rented bikes, played pickleball, used their free shuttle service and enjoyed their wonderful private beach access and the dunes restaurant was very solid. We had dinner at their wine bar (Alexander’s) which was spectacular. The homeowners were great with communication and when we had a family member forget their suitcase after our departure Carol went above and beyond to ensure we got the bag back. Great trip all around!

Thanks for choosing our home and we are so glad you enjoyed everything. It was our pleasure to help you with getting your mom's luggage back to her. Please come back again.
We had a few minor issues that the owners addressed immediately. This was our first stay in Palmetto Dunes, and found it was a beautiful area. The house and large pool were very nice. The local birds, deer, turtles and alligators provided hours of intrigue and fascination. Neighborhood was lovely for evening walks with amazing scenery. Most afternoons were spent enjoying the pool. Our last day, 3 of us tried the shuttle for a trip to the beach, and it was wonderful! It’s a shame we hadn’t tried it sooner!
This property was perfect for our large group of 6 adults and 3 kids 4 and under. The pool was amazing and the layout of the house is great for families. The neighborhood is beautiful and very bike friendly. The kitchen was very well stocked which is great if you plan on cooking a lot, which we did. I would definitely rent here again. Also, communication with Carol was great, she replies very quickly!

About the host
Hosted by Carol
We have been vacationing in Hilton Head for over 35 years. It has always been our home away from home and our children have grown up enjoying the wide, sandy beaches of Hilton Head, although we reside in NC. We take pride in our properties and try to think of everything you would need during your stay so you come back year after year.
I furnished this home with families in mind and included a special child's area in one of the larger bedrooms with a toy box/toys, books, children's dvds, small sofa and, kid table/chairs. There is Crayola Wonder paper and markers, as well as other coloring and activity books. There is also a family closet stocked with a choice of small gifts for your younger children to take home to remember their stay on Hilton Head. The family closet also includes band aids, bike pump, Pac N Play, booster seats and plastic dinnerware for small kids. The home also has plasticware for by the pool, so you can always enjoy your time and no worry about something breaking. I also furnish some beach towels, but ask you wash and replace upon departure.
Why they chose this property
Centrally located in Palmetto Dunes and a short walk or bike ride to beach (one mile) general store (best breakfast on the island!) and tennis/pickleball.The very large swimming pool is private under the beautiful oak trees, but also has lots of sun for the bathers. Lay in the hammock and overlook the lagoon with tropical birds and other wildlife. During the summer the Dunes Buggy, a free van service can take you to the beach at the Dunes House or shopping and restaurants in Shelter Cove. Dunes House is oceanfront with food and drinks and entertainment as scheduled.
What makes this property unique
The view of the lagoon is fabulous. I love to go out in the morning with my coffee and watch the tropical birds fly over and land on the bank. It is also common to see lots of turtles and alligators. However, the back yard is totally enclosed by either fencing or a beautiful brick wall, so no need to worry about the "critters" coming up near the pool.
