Your vacation to remember awaits at 24 Mooring Buoy inside Hilton Head’s Palmetto Dunes Resort. This updated third row house features a 3-minute walk to the beach and a large private pool in the backyard.
**Includes 2 hours of tennis or pickleball per day at Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center
**ability to heat private pool

Enter the house into the grand living room where a new 65” Samsung smart TV and plenty of seating will handle the entertainment. An open concept first floor features an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook that opens to a deck with outdoor dining, and a bonus sunroom with an additional TV and deck / backyard pool access. There is no shortage of choices to sit with friends and family to enjoy a meal – a large dining table, the breakfast nook, bar seating, or two outdoor dining tables will suit the whole group’s preferences.

The house was perfect for our family of 6!
Clean, welcoming, fully stocked kitchen, large pool, garage filled with beach gear and bikes, easy walk to the beach, a quick bike ride to the tennis/pickle ball courts and centrally located in Palmetto Dunes!
Danny’s communication was excellent, especially with us renting last minute. He prepared us well for our time at the house and on the island!! We will definitely stay here again!

Great house and location
8.0 / 10.0
The house was nicely decorated and clean. We appreciated all the toys and beach supplies provided. There are issues with the hump in the hardwood floor that runs the width of the house causing one of the children to fall and an adult to lose their balance. The kitchen was well equipped even though it was small for 10 guests

Overall a really great place. The location is fabulous….really short walk to the beach, General Store, tennis/pickleball facilities! The bikes, wagon, chairs, toys provided by the owner were a really nice amenity. The only thing we had issues with was that the outdoor furniture was old and tired. Only 2 comfortable chairs. And the pool area needs some type of umbrellas or other form of shade. There is absolutely no afternoon shade rendering the pool area unusable unless you are in the water. Even still, we highly recommend the home and would definitely stay there again.
10.0 / 10.0
We really enjoyed our stay, I think the only thing I would have enjoyed more, is the pool being cleaned more often. With the falling tree leaves and debris, we had to do it ourselves, which was hard to scrap the bottom. The lighting was out, and the back deck lights were very dim, so that made it night swimming difficult. Danny explained this will be fixe din the future. The screen door was hard to open and close, but that too was not enough to not make us love our stay. Otherwise, we have no complaint, the heated pool was great. The space was wonderful, and we had everything we needed! If we go back to HHI, we would stya again!

This was our fifth time staying in Hilton Head and we love staying along Mooring Buoy in Palmetto Dunes. The house was as advertised within a 3 minute walk to the beach. It was perfectly set up for our family of 6 plus grandparents. Also, we requested to have the pool heated with the cooler temps and the water was perfectly warm for the kids to swim at any time of day or night. Danny was also very responsive and helpful. Would stay again!

This was our third stay at this house in the last 5 years. House was very clean and nicely furnished. Danny is both a proactive and responsive host. Bikes and numerous beach chairs are a big plus. Great location - just 1 property away from a very quiet street that leads to the beach.

Perfectly positive experience.
The owner has thought of everything. Home is beautiful. Beds are comfortable and room for everyone to relax. Pool is great size and so fun for the family. Beach is private and clean and a two minute walk. All is perfect.

Back again!
We’ve stayed in this very nice house before and were happy to return. The pool arrangement for young children is great since you can easily see them in the pool from the kitchen and family room. We also like the proximity to the General Store.

Best vacation
This is our second time staying at this property and can’t wait to come back! The layout is great, the pool is wonderful and the short walk to the beach is perfect! The host Danny couldn’t be nicer and is very quick to respond to any questions! The kids had a blast with the bikes and games in the garage! We look forward to returning!

Another AMAZING stay!
This was our second time staying at the house. Danny was a wonderful host - always quick to respond and so kind to our family. The house was very clean, all the sheets & towels were new and very nice. You can’t beat the location … we biked for breakfast at the General Store, steps to the beach, close to the Dunes bar for a casual bite to eat. And coming back to the pool after a long day at the beach was heaven! So peaceful and relaxing. Just perfect. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful Oasis on HH
Overall - truly fantastic and perfect for families! We absolutely LOVED it. And Danny is a world class host. Some notes so you can be best prepared for a successful stay: 1) bring beach towels / pool towels if you can; 2) the cleaners didn't supply enough dishwashing detergent, trash bags, and paper towels so we struggled with that; 3) I recommend you have the pool heated if you're in a colder season - our kids were in it everyday and it was so worth it; 4) bike rental folks will pick up your bikes on the last day - Danny has a few adult bikes so confirm what's in the garage before you reserve; 5) we did a lot of remote work and the internet was great (I took meetings on the patio!); 6) have a plan for rainy days; 7) the beach access is easy and AWESOME, take advantage!

Sad to leave this beautiful place
We throughly enjoyed our stay on Mooring Buoy! The house was large enough to make us a group of 7 not feel on top of each other. We loved having use of the pool and close walking distance to the beach. The house was super clean. Our host, Danny was on top of EVERYTHING!! We can't wait to stay here again!

Great vacation getaway
We loved this house! The pictures accurately reflect the house and pool which are lovely. The location is an easy walk to the beach, the general store and the tennis center. Palmetto Dunes is a beautiful resort area and is central to everything on the island. Our host was very helpful and responsive. The house is roomy and has a great layout. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything needed for preparing meals. The pool is a nice size and has plenty of chaise lounges and even pool floats. We would definitely recommend this house and we hope to return in the future!

An amazing first (but not last) visit to HHI!
We loved our trip to HHI! We are a family of 5, and this house was perfect. The location in Palmetto Dunes was ideal. Walk/bike to the general store, restaurants, tennis, golf - and steps to the beach! The layout of the house is ideal with lots of bedroom/en-suite bathroom options and multiple living spaces. The pool was great and the neighborhood was quiet. Danny was very responsive and the house felt very clean upon arrival. Everything was great and we would absolutely stay there again!!

Great Location and House in Palmetto Dunes!
We loved this location with quick access to Tennis/Pickleball and a short walk to the beach. Close to the General Store and Alexander’s in Palmetto Dunes along with all of the great restaurants and shops in Shelter Cove. This home worked very well for our family of five. Two king bedrooms with attached baths on opposite ends of of house and two bedrooms up with a jack and jill bath. The layout offered plenty of privacy for all. Comfortable beds with nice linens and towels as well. There was also a lot of room for everyone to relax/watch tv in the family room and living room. Didn’t cook a lot but kitchen seemed well equipped. Danny was a great host and answered all of our questions promptly. We hope to stay again soon!

We had a wonderful experience at this home. It is beautiful and very close to the beach. Everything you need in a family vacation spot and some extras thrown in (a couple bikes, ping pong table, pop a shot). Owner was great and very responsive - made our stay super easy from the outset.

Hilton Head
Wonderful house for our family vacation on Hilton Head. The pictures don’t do it justice! The location was superb- so close to beach, tennis, General Store, bike rental, golf and in a gorgeous neighborhood. The pool was so pleasant too. The eat in kitchen was very nice with plenty of things for cooking, lots of plates, glasses, etc. The layout of the house is ideal - tons of room and options for spreading out. Each bedroom had a bathroom, lots of soft towels, soap and shampoo. We were sad to leave! Thank you for giving us lots of helpful information before we arrived.
