Neighborhoods

With 2,000-acres of activities, Palmetto Dunes has it all! The beautiful beach and world-class golf are only the beginning. The best place for Hilton Head bike rentals and water sports is right here, along with our full service marina, award-winning tennis and pickleball center, and a sweeping 11-mile lagoon for kayaking, fishing or simply getting back to nature.
Our family has found our second home in Hilton Head. Being from Fort Mill, we felt that Hilton Head brought the magic you need for a vacation to be the best that it can be. This is our first property, and we are very much attached to it. We have put a lot of love into it, because we feel that our community truly can't be beat. You really just escape and relax here, and frankly, never have to leave the resort. Our small family of three enjoy making memories here. With 2,000-acres of activities, Palmetto Dunes has it all!

Toys at the condo, beach toys in the patio storage bin

I have provided toys in a bin in the master bedroom for kids to enjoy. I also recommend packing a busy bag of coloring books, crayons, etc. to take to restaurants just in case you have to wait a bit for food. There are also several playgrounds to choose from.
