Great get away!

This place has an ideal location near the ocean, pickleball, golf, bike riding and a couple places to eat. The condo has a nice layout with beds, bathrooms and porch spaces on each side with shared common area. We planned to take our dog but at last minute decided against bringing her and the owner was very understanding and returned pet money. Check in/out was simple. Love the Palmetto Dunes area!

Great location!

Our family of four (plus dog) stayed here during the holidays. The location can’t be beat, especially since it’s a 2-minute walk to the beach. The place itself is a bit dated, but we found it to be very comfortable and cozy. The owner was super responsive when we needed a second parking pass at check-in time.

Great beach stay!

We visited with our teenage sons and dog, the proximity to the beach could not be beat. We enjoyed staying in Palmetto Dunes and the amenities the resort provides. The condo allowed for good separation between our kids and us, very spacious layout. The unit served our needs well!

Great Location

Working with Mike was easy, including check-in and overall communication. Furniture is comfortable and the TV in the living room is a very nice upgrade. Everything is functional and very clean. It was awesome to be able to bring our dog who loves the beach and is a Hilton Head veteran at this point.

Great stay on Hilton Head Island.

Wonderful stay ! The pictures do not do the place justice. The proximity of the property to the beach can't be beat. (Only 300 steps from door to sand) We were so grateful that Michael allows pets as we were able to take our senior dog "Annie" with us. We highly recommend this property. Plan on returning.

We’ll be back!

First time staying in Hilton Head and boy did we luck out with this place. Can’t beat the close proximity to the beach and the spaciousness/amenities at this condo. We loved walking to the Dune House for seaside meals, the general store and Alexander’s. We had so much fun biking around this beautiful island and beach walking with our mini snauzer, Roxky Thanks for sharing your condo!

Dog friendly beach retreat

We had a great stay. Appliances have been updated. Had everything we needed ad expect out of a beach rental. The pool is right outside. Kids loved it. Plenty of other dogs around and you can’t beat being a two minute walk to the sand. Owner is super responsive. Thanks Michael!

Outstanding location and amenities

Had a great time including long walks on the beach with our dog. The condo is well equipped and comfortable with at least 3 flatscreen TVs which we enjoyed when not busy with the many other activities available to us. Close to shopping, restaurants, golf and tennis. The owner is helpful and responsive. Bottom line: I am making reservations for two more weeks for 2012

A peaceful Beach retreat

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo was well laid out right across from the pool! It was peaceful with four deer hanging outside right by our condo. Just a few steps to the beach which is the best in the area. The porpoises didn’t disappoint. Michael is a marvelous host and he really pays attention to all the details so you can have a marvelous stay. Thanks Michael!

Spectacular location

This was a perfect holiday, Hilton Head is a wonderful location and our condo was literally 4 minutes walk from the beach. I have never experienced sea water this warm, it is absolutely gorgeous. We also had the bonus of a pool literally yards from the condo which again was so warm. I must stress how well appointed the condo was, very nice furnishings and hugely comfortable beds. I have to mention how nice other guests in the condos were, such a friendly group from all over the US.I cannot recommend Hilton Head and particularly our condo highly enough.

Our stay at this condo was perfect! Clean and spacious. Very well furnished - large screen tv's, kitchen had every utensil needed for cooking and nice appliances. Location is excellent - close to beach, centrally located to grocery stores(Whole Foods, Fresh Market and Kroger) and restaurants. Owner was wonderful - responded promptly on our reservations and with info for our arrival at condo. I would highly recommend this condo! Thank you!

Great family and guest condo practically on the beach

My family and i have rented this condo every year for three years. The layout is superb if you have a guest or many children with you. The side two rooms allow for privacy while the main area and its bedroom feel like an apartment. The owner keeps up on repairs and the cleaners make sure everything is clean before we show up. The location of the condo is super since we just walk out the door and walk right to the beach. It is behind the gates of Palmetto Dunes so it limits how many others are there on the beach with us. We plan on continuing to use this condo for our future vacations to HHI. We don't bring anything but our clothing and toiletries. All else is provided.

Needs a lot of updating.

The reviews and descriptions weren’t even close to what we stayed in. I wouldn’t consider this a Premier Host VRBO. Doors were badly damaged. Even the outside door would have been easy for someone to break into the condo. I bet that it’s dog friendly but the cloth couch could use some cleaning. The leather furniture was very dated.

Better than advertised

I would say this is one of the most comfortable places I have ever stayed at on vacation. The place has been updated since the listing photos were taken. There is some extra seating in the living room and the furniture is very comfortable. The beds were also very comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Water pressure in the showers was also excellent. The 3rd bathroom is also a huge plus! Mike is an excellent host and responded immediately to any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. If you are the type of person that wheels a lot of stuff to the beach, I would recommend leaving the beach stuff in your vehicle and getting a parking spot right by the ramp in the morning and loading and unloading there as the pavement from the condo to the beach is a little rough. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking in the area. Appliances- 10/10 Furniture 10/10 Kitchen 10/10 Showers and Bathrooms 10/10 Host 10/10

Just an fyi I have never given a negative review but I can’t help this! This unit at the Moorings in Palmetto Dunes needs a total facelift! It still looks like when it was built in 1977! Absolutely disgusting finishes ! Bathrooms are terrible down to even an old dingy shower curtain! Floor Tile is cracked and countertops are dinged up ! Toilets are as old as the hills and don’t flush very well ! Kitchen is original everything and cooktop takes forever to get up to temp Sliding doors and screens don’t work properly etc etc!

Young Family's Experience

We have stayed in Palmetto Dunes for several years and always The Moorings. We love The Moorings. The condo location is great. Close to the pool and beach but, if you know The Moorings there really isn't a condo not close to the beach or pool. The condo was in good repair but, not clean. The carpet was very dirty and pet hair was still present on the floor and in the kitchen. We didn't bring a dog with us but, felt like we were staying with a shedding dog (lots of black pet hair). The knees of my baby's pants were black after crawling on the floor and her hands were covered with pet hair. Our feet turned black after walking on the floor. I tried to put the carpet condition out of my mind during the majority of our stay but, lost it on the last day of our stay. The girls were dressed in white for beach photo and their outfits got dirty just by sitting on the floor for a few minutes. I called the owner and he said, "Sorry to hear that. How was your stay otherwise?” Overall, our experience was good because we choose to make it that way but, not like it could have been with a condo maintained properly.
