Bugs
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. Yes, these are roaches and are found pretty much everywhere outside in South Carolina but we like to call them Palmetto Bugs as it makes them sound nicer! They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated monthly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.

According to Eric Benson, Ph.D. professor and extension entomologist at Clemson University “It has nothing to do with cleanliness or the economic conditions of the area,” said Benson. “They could be around the nicest home or the nicest hotel or resort.”

If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare!

Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after!

Overall the location is great-we love Palmetto Dunes and the short walk to the beach! The floors were not very clean at all. We had black feet after walking around inside for just a short time when initially arriving. There was lots of dust over things/furniture as well. The laundry area is tight but having it was a great touch. The beds are VERY loud and make noise with the slightest movements and not ideal for sleeping at all but especially when sharing the room with two kids under two. All mattresses were this loud and very uncomfortable. However the space overall was great. Would have liked another couch or comfy space to sit on. The decorative chairs were cute but not very functional or comfy! The beach wagon, chairs and towels were handy!

Great location!

This property was absolutely amazing! It was a short walk to the beach which was beautiful and clean. It was also an easy walk to the general store. The condo was just like the pictures. The beds were a little hard but definitely didn’t keep me from a good night sleep. Would absolutely recommend this place and we will be back!

Perfect Spot

We had a great stay in Palmetto Dunes. This condo is about a 3m walk to the beach and the Dunes House Restaurant. It’s set up almost as two separate sides with the two bed room/bathroom on the right as you want in and then the kitchen, kind bedroom and two bathrooms on the left which was great - our kids had their own side and bathroom and my wife and I had our side. The kids loved riding their bikes up and down the beach and throughout the neighborhood (bike paths everywhere). The beach was perfect and so close. The condo itself was very nice and recently updated. Perfect spot, we will be back!

Fantastic location!

Our trip did not start well, minor snafus, traffic etc. I forgot that we needed to pick up parking pass. The guard was sarcastic,rude, and obviously hated her job and tourists (this was repeated several times) then it was pitch black and we got lost. The people at Carolina properties were SO NICE, this included in person pick up and an the phone. Location was perfect, it was the right choice overall, as was moorings, just a very short walk to beach. The unit had wonderful lay out, with practically 2 seperate suites. 3 bathrooms was a plus! Porches situated for easy acess from several areas . Bathrooms. Washer dryer updated. However kitchen pots, pans silverware scratched, worn, mismatched..cheezy! We bought a new pan. Kitchen cabinets were just worn out, kind of gross even though clean. Matress in master bedroom was old(?) Had 2 divots where people usually slept..ouch!.

Great week in HHI!

After reading a few of the recent reviews regarding maintenance and upkeep, we were a little bit nervous about what we might find when checking into the unit. We messaged the host before arrival to share our concerns and ask questions. They responded informatively and honestly. Upon arrival, the unit was clean and comfortable. Some of the kitchen gadgets and materials were dull/could be replaced, but still useable and allowed for cooking meals at home on occasion. Again, the unit was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. The location is great with good proximity to the beach, beach bar and grille, and the rest of Palmetto Dunes amenities.

Not Impressed

Not impressed with this property compared to others we have stayed at in Palmetto Dunes! The kitchen does not have a pantry so food had to stay on counters! The freezer only has 2 little shelves. Ice maker does not work. The coffee maker burner is rusted and didn’t keep coffee hot. The washer and dryer are in a very small bathroom and is tight going in to wash and dry laundry. Living room couch is lumpy. Dining room table needs replacing. I guess I’m just used to much nicer properties so will not be staying at this one again.

Week of 4th of July

Our experience was ok but could have been better. The location of the property was excellent as the beach and pool were all within walking distance. It was also within biking distance of all restaurants and shopping areas. Both bedrooms are very spacious and can accomodate a family of 4 comfortably. The 3 full bathrooms along w the washer/dryer were definitely a plus! Our only issue was that the property seemed to have a small pest problem. The pest control company also had a scheduled appointment during our visit. My advice to the property management company is to mitigate the pest problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, I would have provided a 5-star rating.

Great location-needs updating

This is a great location. Close to beach, pickle ball and the general store. The space worked well for us and the 3rd full bathroom was a plus. Having said that the furniture was tired and dirty. Some of the surfaces could use a good clean(walls and doors). In the bedroom with the queen beds there is some sort of dried food substance on the dresser. All of the white curtains are dirty and are not light blocking. Half of the beach chairs are broken. They do provide starter packs but know that you need to buy salt and pepper, sugar and any spices you may want to cook with. This unit has the potential to be really nice but needs updating.

Great location, would stay again - could use some updates

Pros: - Location (5 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to the tennis/pickleball courts). There's also a restaurant and general store nearby. This condo really is in a great location within Palmetto Dunes and is the main reason I would consider coming back. - End and top floor unit (could be a con for some if you don't want to have to carry items up multiple flights of stairs). - Private balconies off each bedroom with access to both balconies from the living room (note: the living room access door for the master bedroom balcony needs to be fixed) - 3 full bathrooms (although small, it was nice to have 3 showers and toilets). - 3 TVs with cable (a large living room TV and smaller TVs in each bedroom). - Beach wagon with 5 beach chairs and 2 beach umbrellas. The beach chairs and umbrellas were old and rusty but worked fine! There were also plenty of beach towels. Cons: - The beds in the 2nd bedroom were definitely not queen size (more like full size beds). - Cooking appliances/tools need updating. The frying pans in particular need to be replaced. - The couch in the living room was not very comfortable and didn't seem particularly clean. We opted to bring an air mattress for the living room rather than using the pull out sofa. - The floors were sandy and a little dirty (this is probably to be expected in a dog-friendly beach condo) Overall, we really enjoyed staying here! It could use some updates and a little TLC but for the price this one is hard to beat!

Property needs updating

While the space itself/layout was great for two couples, the furnishings were quite tired. Torn/worn/discolored sheets on all beds. White curtains throughout the unit were dirty and should be cleaned or replaced. No shades or room darkening blinds in either bedroom. Very dull knives. Missing light bulb in powder room. Light fixture falling out of the ceiling above sink area. So much potential with this villa but unfortunately, it needs some TLC to make it what we enjoy on vacation.
