Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids: 14, 11, and 9) stayed here the week after 4th of July. We loved our vacation villa and our kids want to return every year. The villa suited our needs perfectly. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom with the king configuration. It allowed us to get up early, drink coffee, make breakfast and enjoy the deck while the kids slept in upstairs away from the noise. The kitchen is well stocked, the washer and dryer were a life saver, the wi-fi and cable kept us entertained, the AC is strong, the furniture is comfortable, and most of all the unit is very clean. We appreciated how nicely the unit has been updated: new sidewalks and deck, beautiful kitchen and clean/new carpet - it felt like vacation. Finally, the owner was very responsive to all our needs. Location - you are about a mile from the beach. It is walkable, we did that once then rented bikes for the week (about $200 including a trailer). We loved riding to the beach and through the golf course (after 7:00 pm). The beach is great even when busy - which is was during our visit. We also enjoyed the pool and tennis courts which are very close to the unit. Also, if you are into finding local wildlife, we found an alligator in the water surrounding "bird island" on the golf course. My kids were thrilled. This is a clean, updated unit that we highly recommend.

Appreciated the High Quality of all Amenities

We enjoyed our stay immensely. We appreciated the quality of all the things in the house. I applaud the renovations - all appliances, electronics, and furnishings were top notch, clean, and well maintained. The electronic door entry was very convenient saving us from accidentally leaving the keys in the house and locking ourselves out (which happened at our next travel stop). The kitchen with all its small amenities was a pleasure. If I may suggest better potholders and a woodblock of chef knives...those were the only items I felt I was lacking. The location was great also...we used Disney's beach access everyday. The central location in Palmetto Dunes and on Hilton Head Island was ideal. It did not take long to get anywhere either by walking, biking, or driving. I would return again and would highly recommend it. Mr. Olender was responsive to all our questions and needs. Thank you for everything.

I go to Palmetto Dunes every year and usually stay at the OMNI. I booked this unit as we needed more space than the hotels offered as well as a kitchen and living room. The owner was so easy to work with and my check-in was seamless. I greatly appreciated the welcome packet down to how to operate the tv remote. The condo is pristine, comfortable and inviting. It is also a golfer's paradise as you can view the course from the back deck. It was well stocked with anything you might need during your stay. I loved the location as it was a beautiful, quick bike ride to the beach. It was one of our most enjoyable family vacations.

For our first time on Hilton Head Island we were very pleased with this villa. The location within Inverness Village was quiet while still close to everything and we found the location of Palmetto Dunes to be perfect since it is pretty much the center of the island. There was much to do both within Palmetto Dunes and out over the span of the island. The villa was just as it was pictured. Beautifully decorated with high end finishes and very well maintained. The homeowners were extremely friendly and easy to work with. We look forward to our next stay!

The villa was just as described and pictured. It is very cute and updated nicely. We liked the quietness of Inverness Village. If you enjoy the Hilton Head area, you will enjoy this lovely villa. Hilton Head was a little busy and crowded for our family. I bet it is wonderful in the off season!

Wyndy: Thanks for your kind words and we are pleased you and your family enjoyed our villa. You are correct as Hilton Head can be very busy during peak season, especially in the last few weeks before school starts. There are periods during the peak season that are not quite as busy and of course off-season has its benefits. Arnold & Gennie Olender

House is nicely decorated and in a gated property location with decent proximity to the beach. We drove to beach every day arriving in non-peak hours (early AM or late afternoon) and never had issues with beach access parking but could see parking being an issue late AM/Noonish. It would be a short bike ride or a nice walk. Golfing was exceptional (kids play free after 4pm) and the pool and tennis courts were in great shape and never over crowded.

We very much enjoyed our stay and did not feel as if we were in a rental. The condo felt like home: it was clean, the decor was current and very comfortable, and the location was perfect. The owners were kind and efficient to work with, and took time to provide many logistical details that made the trip more smooth. This was one of the best rental experiences we've had in 15 years; thank you!

We stayed in this villa during the month of February. Enjoyed the updated kitchen. Villa was very clean, comfortable and peaceful. Loved the large windows and the view of the golf course. Owners were extremely helpful at all times and were available by phone or e-mail if needed. We loved the location which is about one mile from the General Store -- good walk or bike ride every morning to get the paper. Pool and tennis courts are extremely close and look great. We liked the villa so much that we have booked it again for next year. Villa would be great for families in the summer.

We enjoyed our Hilton Head stay in this villa! We enjoyed the nearby pool, tennis and the beach. We also had a good time kayaking in the lagoons in Palmetto Dunes. The updates to the villa were very nice, the kitchen area was great and we appreciated having the very nice washer and dryer to use. The owners were great to work with when we made our travel arrangements. They were very professional, kind and helpful.

Arnold & Gennie: The condo more than exceeded our expectations. My son, Ben was the one that went on-line and found the condo. He was quite proud of his selection, as were we! We had visited Hilton Head for many years and had always stayed at the Disney Resort, which of course caters to families. As Ben is about to turn 18, he said he just couldn't "do Disney" with all the little kids any longer. So your place was perfect, especially since we were already familiar with the Disney Beach Club and the whole Palmetto Dunes area. We hope we will have the opportunity to stay at your place again in future years!

Description does not do condo justice - even better in person. We immediately felt at home with the upgrades and conveniences of this condo. Great room space and plenty of room for the kids. Nice upgraded kitchen and laundry area was amazing. Great back deck which is shaded by palm trees and lovely view of the golf course and lagoon. 2 minute walk to the pool and 5 minute drive to the beach. Neighborhood is warm, inviting and safe - perfect for families with teens who like a bit of freedom. Although we were there for the busiest week of the year, the pool was never crowded, we always got a tennis court and always had room on the beach. Would definitely recommend and return to this location -- homeowner very easy to deal with and takes care of this unit. It was a wonderful week and my kids had a blast!!!

I must say we very much enjoyed your condo, it really felt as though we were at home. The upgraded kitchen and open concept with all electronic conveniences really helped during the rain. The layout is great - my children enjoyed the spaciousness of the master bedroom and practically lived in the on-suite! Having the second bedroom downstairs and on the opposite side of the condo provided privacy for all. Thank you for sharing your home - it was very nice.
