About this villa rental
New Kitchen remodel in the winter of 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 65” 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.
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 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! However, off season, we will consider small non shedding dogs under 20 pounds for long term rentals. All pets would need to be pre-approved by the owner, or you could be asked to leave immediately if a pet is in our villa.
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 a car pass. This is not included in your rental price.
We do not provide beach towels.

This was our second year vacationing in this area of Palmetto Dunes. It's perfect for our 3-year old grandson, with just one road to cross and steps from the beach/pool area and with another little one expected in October this year, we look forward to staying in the same location, hopefully, the same unit next year. The owners/hosts were quick to respond whenever we had a question. I would highly recommend 499 Captain's Cove!

Located right in the heart of Palmetto Dunes. The Pickleball Center is a short walk/bike ride away which is great if you like the early bird round robin at 7:30am. The kids love being able to walk to the General Store. Also great to be close to the Ocean Course as they just added a really cool golf simulator. My family had a blast doing that so highly recommend.

The beginning of the week we were a little scared of what might happen with the impending storm. We appreciated communication from the owners allaying our fears and letting us know that they would contact us if the resort felt evacuation was necessary. As it turned out, though, we had mainly rain and there were breaks in the weather with Thursday and Friday absolutely beautiful. Our little granddaughters enjoyed time playing in the house as well as in the pool and at the beach. We played games, put puzzles together, and watched the Olympics during the rain and enjoyed our time on the beach. Regardless of the weather, we still had an amazing week and hope to return to Hilton Head in the future.

Hilton head, palmetto Dunes were very excting with many things to do on the island, horseback riding, tubing and going up in the lighthouse were just to name a few. Eating on the deck while watching the alligators watch us was very interesting. There was plenty of room and people weren’t too crowded smashed up altogether. It was a great family spot. The spot was very clean the land lord was right the place is really clean, and easily kept clean.

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!

The house was nicely decorated and clean. There was fun and interesting animal life out back including large birds and an alligator. The owner was a great communicator. Short walk to the pool/beach. Nice area to rent bikes- could ride to the grocery store and a few restaurants . 0 problems.

Stayed a full week with our adult kids and their spouses (some only stayed part of the week). The house was very clean and spacious enough to fit all seven of us comfortably. Everything worked as expected, including the [shared] charcoal grill in the back. Host was friendly and responsive via text. Walk to the beach was short and easy, even when carrying cooler, chairs, etc. Captain's Cove is inside Palmetto Dunes, a very nice neighborhood with lots of bike/walking paths, tennis and pickle ball courts, golf course, beautiful landscaping, and lots of shade trees. We played PB on two different mornings and the courts were in excellent condition. I recommend calling at 7:30am the day before to make PB reservations and then showing up 10-15 min before reservation time to check in. General store was a short walk away and was a convenient way to stock up on necessities like coffee and beer and also a good place for soft serve ice cream. We definitely plan to come back to Captain's Cove in the future!

Our family loved everything about this place! Great location with a very short walk to the beach and pool. Private beach area was not overcrowded. Perfect amount of space for 2 families including 4 young kids. Great selection of beach toys and kitchen amenities. We loved visiting the lagoon each day too. We used the gas grills by the pool which were very convenient and easy to use. All the beds were very comfortable and the kids loved the bunk room. Communication with the owner was excellent and they were diligent in ensuring we had all we needed. Highly recommend!

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!

Was very happy with the property. Very close to the beach, lots of available activities. The condo was nicely decorated with plenty of space for all 7 of us. We could all eat together at one table & kitchen large enough for several people to work together at one time. Plenty of kitchen supplies & baking equipment. Only complaint
there needed to be a knife sharpener.

Phenomenal 5 star property and location! Conveniently located at the front of Palmetto Dunes! Three min walk to the beach and pool. Immaculate property! You could eat off the floor when we arrived! Five star amenities! Very nice kitchen, furniture, bathroom towels, laundry, beds, lines etc TV's in all the rooms. Perfect set up for families! The upstairs is like a little teen getaway. Our kids loved their own space. Backyard has beautiful pond with fish and room to kayak etc. We liked the rental so much we booked next year already! Total 5 star experience!

Decided on an earlier than normal trip to HHI (April 29-May 6) and the weather was perfect! Sunshine and 75-80 degrees for 6 of our 7 days.
Amy and Jeff were great hosts and the condo was supplied with just about everything you'd need for a week at the beach.
The decor is attractive and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and bakeware. The closets had loads of hangers plus extra pillows and blankets. The outdoor storage closet had 6+ beach chairs plus a large assortment of beach toys for castle building.
There is outdoor furniture on the front porch and back deck AND you are a two minute walk to the beach!
There is a pool at Captain's Walk with lots of lounge seating. It's a few minute walk to the tennis/pickleball courts. Palmetto Dunes is located close to grocery and retail shopping and local restaurants are abundant. (Island Bagels gets five stars for breakfast from us!)

We had a wonderful weeks stay at this property. Close to everything you could want-walking distance to the beach and private heated pool. The home itself was clean and spacious. The kitchen is stocked with everything that you may need to cook a feast! We were traveling with a baby and had ample space for all our equipment. Close to the grocery store, shopping, restaurants, golf, renting bikes and gorgeous walks on the beach. Amy was wonderful to communicate with and easy to reach by text. Don't hesitate in booking this property-you will not be disappointed!

This has to be one of the best properties and some of the best owners around. Our stay was blissful and so easy - the owners were incredibly communicative, the property was spotless and had the most wonderful amenities. It was a short and beautiful walk to the beach and the pool, and the lagoon in the back was the perfect place to spot wildlife. HIGHLY recommend!

You simply cannot go wrong by choosing this rental. It’s large, incredibly stocked, beautifully furnished, and so close to the beach and pool at Captain’s Walk. The lagoon behind the unit kept us entertained with gator, fish, and heron sightings. The grass is lush all the up to the lagoon, quite unusual for a lot of other lagoon front properties. The Sattlers’ have made sure your time in 499 Captain’s Cove will be the best.
