Great experience
Property was as advertised. Our family of 4 and a pup had plenty of room and enjoyed the amenities of the condo. The location of this villa is a huge benefit as it’s a short walk to the beach, the pickleball center and the general store. Gene was a pleasure to communicate with, and you can tell he truly cares about providing his guests with the best experience while at his condo. I highly recommend staying at this villa.

Fantastic location
We have been coming to Hilton Head for quite a few years. The first time we came we stayed in the ocean cove club. Over the years we have tried different locations inside Palmetto dunes and we believe that this is by far the best location. Close to the beach, bike rentals, tennis complex and general store. Away from the public beach access and the busy high rise area. The area is fantastic for bike rides and everyone is so friendly. We highly recommend the villa it was super clean and well stocked and will be returning over the next years to come. Thanks Gene for all the communication it made the process seamless.

Great dog friendly location
Location is perfect for dog owners. Beach is a few minutes away on foot. Dog park in Chaplin Park at Singleton Beach Road is a few minutes drive and is a good place to meet locals. Home is clean and bright. Ocean Cove is a lovely subdivision. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A perfect first visit to Hilton Head Island!
This condo provides us with a great combination of good location and a nice setup for two couples or a family.
A short, pleasant walk to the beach, a general store and several restaurant. A perfect bicycling location and being in the middle of the island a convenient base for visiting various points of interest.
A clean and quiet location.

Excellent condo and location
We just stayed here. In my opinion the condo was even nicer in person than in the pictures. The location was perfect. Very short walk to the beach and close to the pool and general store. The kitchen was well stocked and the unit included plenty of towels. Our kids loved it and didn’t want to come home. I would definitely book here again.
Be aware the pool doesn’t open until April 1st and you are not allowed to use the other nearby pools in Palmetto Dunes. You have a great beach to go to so we didn’t miss the pool but this wasn’t clear to us when we booked.
Also, you might need to proactively reach out to the property management company for check-in information such as parking pass and the key code. They didn’t give me any info up front so I had to call when we got there.
The property owner was very nice and extremely responsive to all my questions when we arrived. He called in our parking pass so we could use the beach access prior to check in.

Ocean Cove Vacation
Our vacation stayat Ocean Cove was excellent. After securing our reservation, our family was greeted by the owner and he made sure all of our questions were answered. The location was 3 minutes from the beach. The unit housed our four family members with extra room. The bathrooms, kitchen and floors have been updated and look really nice. We had a great stay and hope to reserve it again if it’s open.
