Dated worn furnishings, on arrival, lamp in bedroom was broken as was a shower door. There were problems with plumbing, freezer, dishwasher, and not well cleaned. Dripping vents. View from patio was great. Beach and beach access were great. Beautiful area and location in Palmetto Dunes. Property management company was very responsive and quickly responded to address fixing broken things and providing additional needed parking pass. Nice provision of beach chairs and shovels, buckets, wave boards, etc.

There was a smell of urine in the unit as well as not much space to store items for the week in the kitchen. The spare closet was also filled messily with beach items and no space for clothes. The unit was in a great location the beach and pool. It was great to be able to walkout too. Just wish the linens and things felt cleaner.

This is by far our favorite place to stay on Hilton Head Island. Quiet, well-kept, clean, right in the beach. Doesn’t get any better.

Love the location! Proximity to beach/pool and tennis/pickleball was idea. The unit was very comfortable. The only recommendation I would make is that they get black out curtains for the smaller bedroom. The windows open up to the entrance hallway and there are very bright lights out there, probably for security reasons. Would be a quick fix and would make sleeping in that room much better. Otherwise, the place is perfect.

This was our 1st experience renting for a month, a retirement trip. 403 CW great location but this unit needs upgrade. We had a mouse problem the entire visit. Lost numerous food items had to keep most in frig. Service came numerous times to try and catch them to no avail. Said unit upstairs reported problems too. Squirrels? are in the walls/ceilings. Guests in 2nd BR heard them all night. Mouse droppings were in pullout couch. Replaced batteries in 2 tv remotes and in light remote. Smoke alarm fell out of ceiling. A lot of small details need addressing for the price we paid. We plan to do a month vacation every year but will shop around. We loved the amenities at CW, beach access, grills, pool were all great! We wanted to avoid elevators. For what we paid versus others we knew visiting, some stayed for 2 months for what we paid for 1 month. Our friends had an updated condo at Windsor Place for 2 months and paid $800 more than we did. We will shop around next year, we learned from this trip. We like staying in PD, have been coming here for 40 years. Please do not publish this. We think you need to know this about this unit. Thanks!!

Super clean and steps to the beach! Picking up the parking pass was efficient; building was quiet. Only drawback was having to remember a 6 digit door code. :)

Great location walk out to the beach close to all other shopping and restaurants. Wonderful view of the ocean. Check in was easy and no issues with anything on the property. Place was clean but carpet could be updated or taken out.

Place was great. So convenient to everything. Check in process was a bit confusing with having to pick up pass at different location. Once checked in everything was great! Would absolutely come back!

Overall we had a good experience. The property was great with perfect access to the beach. The unit needs new blinds on the master bedroom and the carpets need cleaning. Also, we were not notified that the dishwasher was being replaced and the repairman walked into the condo unannounced.

All the decor made the unit feel homey. The location was wonderful! Short walk to the beach. Very quiet and peaceful section of beach. We will be back!

Stay overall was good — unit was decently furnished, location was great with only a short walk off the patio to the beach. Even had a couple beach chairs and towels for us which was great. Also, Palmetto Dunes is just a fantastic community to stay in. Only a couple complaints - 1) the owners/property mgmt company never responded to either of my messages. While I read their policy on not guaranteeing early check ins, they never acknowledged my message at all. So we killed 4 hours with 2 kids waiting to hear back, but never did….and still haven’t. We entered a very clean unit, but one that obviously no one had been in for awhile, which was disappointing for obvious reasons. Some or ANY communication would have been great. 2) the master bed and linens might be one of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in. The bed was hard as a rock, the pillows thin as cardboard, and the linens were like sleeping on carpet. The kids slept great in the other bedroom, but my wife and I had a tough time in the master. It does not get a lot of airflow from the AC unit, and there is no fan in there either. Overall, just needs a few basic updates to the master and some responsiveness from owners, then I’d consider staying there again given the convenience to the beach and pool.

The condo location is perfect, close to pool and ocean view on the first floor. The condo had everything we needed, and was clean. Our gate passes had not been called in, so when we arrived I had to call and get that taken care of, but other than that, our stay was perfect.

The minute we stepped in the unit, a stench which seemed to resemble cat pee was prevalent. Next, we discovered that the sink in the smaller bathroom was extremely slow draining. The toilet in that bathroom did not flush well or rapidly. One had to wait about 5 minutes before re-flushing. At night, the light in the smaller bedroom was extremely bright and it was difficult to sleep. I'd recommend black out curtains or shades for that room, as the outside hall lights were shining directly in all night long. We also had issues using the TV- I'd recommend instructions for those unfamiliar. The location of the unit was nice, but the interior left much to be desired and we would not stay there again. A very uncomfortable visit.

So easy for family to get to the beach! Right out the back door. We loved to open the screen door and let the sound of the waves put us to sleep.

The condo had everything we needed and the kitchen was well stocked. Everything was very clean and all of the rooms were a great size. We would definitely stay here again!

First floor made access to the beach perfect. Chairs and boogie boards didn’t have to be dragged through the complex. The area right outside our back door was perfect for picture taking. The place was clean. First VRBO experience and it was awesome

Great property, troubles with management company
We loved this unit because of the location and easy access to the beach and pool. We have a 1 year old so convenience was top priority. I called the management company a few weeks prior about checking in early that day in hopes to get our baby down for a nap upon our arrival. The man I spoke to on the phone said no problem and verbally put us down for a 12pm check in. Once we arrived the code didn’t work and no one was answering the phones. Luckily we ran into the property manager in person who was checking the unit and she was able to help us after explaining the situation. She was unaware of the promise her coworker had made which caused huge confusion. We also did not receive instructions about the gate passes in this neighborhood. Luckily we figured it out. We had a babysitter try to use our second pass and was unable to get in and I couldn’t get through to the rental company since it was after hours. I had to drive out to pick her up and take her back. Not a huge problem but an inconvenience for sure. Had the pass information been better explained to us I would have called ahead to get her a pass. Overall we had a great trip, loved the unit but had trouble with the management company.

Great location and home
We all enjoyed our stay. The home was nicely decorated and comfortable. Easy access to the beach and enjoyed having my coffee on the patio and listening to the ocean!

Beach bliss
The property is 100% as advertised and photographed. Very spacious and comfortable for four. Access to the beach is a few steps away; wake up and fall asleep to ocean views. HH outfitters is near by for bike rentals. Great week and close to everything the island has to offer.
Side note - extremely well stocked kitchen.

A few short steps to amazing beach
We cannot wait to come back. Beautiful condo, everything we needed, close to all shops and attractions, and most importantly, as close proximity to a private walkway to the beach as we’ve ever been. Already scheduled our next stay. Thank you!

Fantastic unit in a great location!
This condo is very nice - the owners have done a fantastic job with updating it with a nice kitchen and furnishings. The location is wonderful - just steps to the beach, and being able to have coffee on the private patio while listening to the waves is a great way to start the day. I would very much look forward to staying here again.

Privacy, view and easy beach access
The two specific reasons we stayed at this particular unit was the fact that there was a private balcony access to the pool/beach without having to go through the front of the building and walk around. Plus the view was perfect to see the ocean, hear the constant sound of the waves. Both of best worlds. We loved spending time on the back porch, eating our meals, playing backgammon, and just enjoying the view, breeze and sounds of the ocean. You could rent a higher unit for a bigger view, but the easy access was what sold me. You can’t go wrong in this unit. We brought our bikes and rode all over the place. Very bike friendly. Five stars all day!!
