Palmetto Dunes Gem! Gated Beach, Oceanfront Pool! BEST LOCATION in Captains Cove
New Kitchen in 2025!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! Desirable Captain's Cove community!!! Drive right up to this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhome right across the street from the beach! If the beach isn’t your thing, we are also a short walk from the Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickleball Center, The General Store, The Palmetto Dunes Outfitters with bikes and water sport rentals, restaurants, and 3 world class golf courses. This villa is perfect for a couple or two to enjoy off season, or for a large group in the summer. The location and size also work great for group tennis or golf trips!
Upon arrival you will be delighted to park right in front of our villa and walk up just a few steps to our front deck that has a tiny little peak of the ocean. The entry opens up into a large great room with beautiful lagoon views, and a kitchen that is stocked with everything you need! Stainless Steel appliances, a full-size commercial grade washer and dryer, and a sunny breakfast table complete this updated kitchen. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the entire first floor.
Dining and Great Room: The spacious second dining area seats 6 comfortably and opens up to the great room. The entire space has a comfortable and relaxing vibe for your whole group to enjoy. A 75" smart TV and plenty of comfortable seating enhances the space as well, along with the great lagoon view!
Living Space: Off the great room is a wonderful, bright Carolina room where you can enjoy watching the wildlife and passerby’s in the lagoon! Just off the Carolina room is a large deck with a few steps down to the grass. There is a charcoal grill area right out back as well as a dock. Feel free to bring your kayaks, or rent from the Palmetto Dunes Outfitters, and launch them right out back off the dock. If fishing is your thing, bring your gear!
Bedrooms: There are 2 master suites downstairs. Both first floor masters have king sized beds and full bathrooms. The first master has an updated walk-in shower, and double sinks. The second master has also been updated, and offers a tub/shower combo. Upstairs there are 2 more bedrooms. The first bedroom is a spacious room with a queen-sized bed, and plenty of extra space for a port-a-crib or extra gear. The second bedroom has built in bunk beds and a separate twin-sized bed. Between the 2 bedrooms is a full bath with a walk-in shower. There is also a loft area upstairs with a desk. Televisions can be found in all bedrooms.
How far to the beach: Simply walk out the front door and across the street to the private beach access for the Captain’s Walk and Captain’s Cove villas.
Pool: Enjoy the oceanfront Captain’s Cove/Captain’s Walk pool right across the street. A short 2-minute walk, and you are at the pool with adjacent beach access, in addition to outside showers and bathrooms. There are also gas grills located by the pool. The pool deck is open all year long and the pool is heated March 1- April 30, and October 1- November 30.
About us: We purchased our Captain’s Cove in 2019 after owning a nearby 2-bedroom villa for many years. We are from Cincinnati, Ohio and travel to Hilton Head frequently. We love having all the extra space the 4 bedroom offers, and find that it is not too large for just the two of us, yet plenty spacious when the kids and friends come to visit. The location is one of our favorite things about it, with the beach, tennis, golf and so many restaurants all being right around the corner! We expeciall love driving right up the front door!
Pets: Not a pet friendly rental
The sunrise in the morning on the front deck, and the sunset in the evening on the back deck couldn’t be more peaceful to start and end your days. No matter what activities you chose, coming home to this very comfortable and spacious townhome on the beautiful lagoon will offer you all the comfort you need while on vacation.
Palmetto Dunes collects $35.00 weekly for each car pass. This is not included in your rental price.
We do not provide beach towels.

My family and I stayed at this Palmetto Dunes home and we cannot express enough, it was wonderful! Excellent accommodations, location and the hosts were great! We look forward to another visit in the future!
The condo is beautiful & updated. Great spot- across street from beach- short walk. Would definitely stay there again. Communication with owner was excellent & they were helpful with any issues. Beds were very comfortable, which is a plus.
This is the second year we have stayed here & we hope to make it next year as well. The owners were responsive & very helpful whenever I reached out. A definite recommendation for sure!
We had a wonderful stay at Captains Cove! The villa was very close to the beach, great views of the lagoon and lots of amenities at Palmetto Dunes. Highly recommend. Perfect place for our adult family of 6.
We loved our stay at Captains Cove! It’s a quick watch to the beach and the pool was very nice. Amy was great to work with and communicated very quickly. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!
This property has everything we needed for and amazing family vacation. The location and amenities were top notch and we always felt so welcome with Amy and Jeff.
We've stayed on Hilton Head before, and we all agreed this was the best rental we've had! The location was great. Everything was provided that we needed, and the proximity to the beach and pool was excellent! We were close to all of our favorite restaurants, and shops. Really enjoyed our stay and we plan to visit again!
I cannot say enough positive things about this property! The location was great, very close to the beach! The pool was beautiful and very clean! The beach house was big enough for our family of 11- which included an infant and toddler! Communication with the owners was great! Will definitely stay here again!
My family and I go to HHI every summer and love staying at this property. The location, the villa, the rental process with Amy….. more than meets our expectations and we already look forward to the next time!

Thank you so much for coming back again! We appreciate how many times you have stayed in our home!
Came down for an extended family vacation. This home met our needs perfectly. Very well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and everything needed for the beach.
Loved this property. We went there on a special occasion and were not disappointed. Everything was there for a family to use. The property access to amenities was great. Would do it again!
We enjoyed our stay at Captains Cove. Great location, comfortable and cozy. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some memorable family dinners. Very relaxing stay. Thanks for sharing your wonderful villa.
What a lovely time we had for our family vacation. The condo was as pictured and the location was fantastic — so close to the pool, the beach and all things Palmetto Dunes! Communication with the owners was great and we had zero issues of any kind. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The hosts checked in with us before hand to make sure we had all the information needed and were easy to contact during our stay. The space was perfect for our family of 8. We loved the easy access to the beach.

Great Stay
Loved the villa, and the location is awesome for access to any of the Palmetto Dunes amenities (Golf, Tennis, Alexanders, Beach House etc. etc.). Only minus is the proximity of the condo to the road (time on the balcony is a touch noisy). Recommend this villa for an amazing stay. We had Great time, at a great place, with great weather too!

Thanks for the nice review. It sounds like you enjoyed walking to all the amenities in Palmetto Dunes! We hope you come back again!
Our family had the most incredible vacation in Palmetto Dunes. The Resort is a lovely family friendly resort that had everything we needed. Bike rentals, general store, Omni Hotel was a plus with great restaurant and beach bar; all within walking distance of the villa.The villa was spacious, well equipped, and tastefully decorated and clean! Beds were super comfortable, water pressure was great (always hot water) and kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Hosts were attentive. We would definitely book this villa again!!
Great spot! Lots of walkable and bike-able places! We came for a family vacation and enjoyed every minute. The kids loved the beach and pool and the provided beach toys were a hit! Amy was very helpful for everything! Everyone in the group wants to stay again!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The owners were great! They reaching out before and during our stay to ensure our needs we met. The house was beautiful, well-maintained, and in the perfect location. I would absolutely recommend this property to others and would most certainly stay here again. 5-stars!
Property just as described. Great communication with host. Clean and the perfect amount of space and location for myself and mother with my four children (11 and under)

Beautiful Villa
We have rented two other villas in the Moorings, and this one by far is the cleanest and most beautiful. The owners were very responsive and great to work with. The villa was comfortable and the proximity to the beach is perfect. Also appreciated that pets are allowed. Hope to rent again in the future!
