This beautiful home has a prime location overlooking the Palmetto Dunes lagoon. Just ten minutes’ walk from Hilton Head’s dazzling sands, it’s an ideal base for a beach holiday. There’s something very classic about the interior, with muted neutrals, layered lighting and high-quality furnishings. The lofty panelled ceilings in the lounge and the Roman-style columns in the entrance hall give an added sense of grandeur to the living space.  Large windows overlook the lagoon and the private pool, where we imagine you’ll spend most of your time. Holidays here are all about enjoying the perks of the Palmetto Dunes community, with three world-class golf courses, a tennis centre, restaurants, shops and free use of the Dunes Buggy. Outdoorsy types will love the forty kilometres of paved bike paths and the Atlantic surf. After a long day of sun, sea and fun, we can see you sipping a Long Island iced tea on one of the deck chairs that have been thoughtfully set up by the lagoon, before enjoying a balmy evening dining on the terrace. Perfection.

White Ibis

Amid sandy strands and a network of lagoons, this villa is in one of the most picturesque areas of South Carolina. In just ten minutes, you can move from the water basin's grassy banks to the ocean through the scenic woodland between the two. But really, you never need to leave the house, with its stunning private pool, an array of balconies and verandas and a basketball court cushioned between the trees. Huddle around the fire pit on winter evenings or cook up a BBQ on the grill by the pool in summer. Inside, the bedrooms have large beds and deluxe furnishings, while the sunken living room makes for a great space to relax in front of the TV. Rent kayaks and paddle boards by the dock of the lagoon and catch an unforgettable sunset from the water.

Smoke on the Water

Just short walk away from the beach on Hilton Head Island, this villa is offers true coastal chic. Part of a community development, the home has access to basketball and tennis courts, but there are plenty of tournaments to be had in the house too, with a foosball table and swimming pool. The designated cook can whip up their meals of choice on the outdoor grill, with plenty of seating for most of the house on the patio, while upstairs you'll find a medium sized kitchen for light meals. For peace and quiet, there are several balconies for reading and the bedrooms are fitted with vintage style furnishings and four-poster beds, perfect for hiding away from the world. When you do feel like exploring, the area is rich in activities, with water-sports, walking trails, and cycle routes all easy to access from home.

Double Trouble

A sweet summer’s day comes easy in this elegant, Georgian-style home. After a rejuvenating sleep in one of the lavish bedrooms, all you’ll want is to get out into the sun. We know that some people prefer sandy beaches while others like swimming pools, and we love that this home has both – a private, glassy pool out back and the beach just a stone’s throw away. The home also has an entertainment room and well-equipped bar to ensure that everyone gets their share of fun. Though with a golf course nearby and rest of the island playground, perhaps we didn’t even need to worry about that.

Singing Sweet Carolina

We’ve got to hand it to this gorgeous home — or should we say mansion — on Hilton Head Island. As far as luxurious hideaways go, this one exudes class. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens and within a two-minute walk of the beach, there is something deliciously magical about this place. We fell in love with the secluded palm-fringed swimming pools (one for the adults and one for the children). In fact, the leafy garden is something of a centrepiece, with balconies, terraces, and charming arched loggias all cleverly arranged to give maximum views over this delightful outside space. Find a peaceful corner to read a book, sip a cool drink before dinner or tuck into a family feast beneath the stars. And who could fail to be charmed by the sweet little path, twisting through the trees to the sand dunes and beach beyond? Sweep up the grand steps from the pool area and the treats continue inside, with a lofty entrance hall and impressive open concept living space — perfect for gathering the whole family together. A second living area upstairs gives plenty of room for large groups and families travelling together. There are big bedrooms galore (think four-poster beds and balcony views), palatial bathrooms and bunk beds for the kids. And because it’s all part of an exclusive, larger resort, there’s a wealth of facilities and amenities to enjoy should you wish to, including three golf courses, a tennis centre, restaurants, shopping and harbourside entertainment. 


Among The Dunes

Days take on a slower pace on Hilton Head Island and this villa-style home is perfect for unwinding. A beachy vibe runs throughout, with wooden floorboards that can easily be swept after sandy feet run across them, and slanted, high ceilings to provide a cool relief from the outdoor heat. Keep an eye on the whole family in the open living, kitchen and dining room, as they play card games in the alcove or enjoy movie nights piled on the sofas. The home is on the edge of a golf course and you can watch the action from the front deck, complete with a barbecue for rustling up some grilled delights if you get hungry. For peace and quiet, the upstairs master bedroom has a private balcony, perfect for curling up with a book. Part of a complex, the home has access to a shared pool and tennis courts, while it's only a short drive to Harbour Town and the beach.

Summer Heat

Beautiful enough to strut down the Victoria's Secret runway, this jaw-dropping home has direct access to Hilton Head Island's glorious sandy beach. Double-height ceilings, white-washed walls, and elegant stone fireplaces in the living area give the space a Mediterranean feel, while the huge kitchen, with its long oak beams and built-in alcove, is designed for family nights preparing meals en masse. Most of the bedrooms have views over the ocean thanks to their balconies and floor to ceiling windows, but there might be a squabble for the master bedroom's bathroom, with a bath that sits under a glass ceiling – perfect for starry soaks. During the day, make use of the swimming pool, which has the equipment for several fun watery games, and when it gets chilly, light the garden's fire pit to toast marshmallows as you plan the day ahead.

Neptune's Den

Surrounded by lagoons on all sides, this low-country home is tucked into the flora and fauna of Hilton Head Island. The gracious nature of the home makes it ideal for both a short summer weekend and long stay alike. Wander through the elegant courtyard and find yourself at ease upon entering the living room reminiscent of a scene from Town and Country magazine. Wicker chairs and colourfully upholstered furniture are dotted throughout. Outside, spend hours in the pool before heading out for the day’s adventure. Sea Pines Resort has an outdoor activity or amenity for everyone, from walking and horse-riding trails to five miles of pristine beaches and famed golf courses. At the day’s end back on the patio, turn on the Sonos speaker, kick back in an Adirondack chair, and toss some patties on the BBQ.

Wicker

Spend just a few minutes of lounging on the deck, looking out on the sprawling greens of the Fazio Golf Course, and you'll understand why this Hilton Head home is a must-visit. It's situated in the gated Palmetto Dunes, an oceanfront resort bursting with outdoor activities, including tennis, surf lessons and kayaking in the saltwater lagoon. For a more relaxed pace, there's fishing and three on-site golf courses to choose from. The beach is just a seven-minute stroll away — grab a towel, pack a picnic and spend the day with the sand between your toes. When you need a break from the sun, there's plenty of room inside to sprawl out. The large windows let in heaps of natural light and the vaulted ceilings create even more space. In the evenings, you can prepare your catch of the day in the open-plan kitchen and dine at the table in front of the double-sided fireplace. If you don't feel like cooking, drive for ten minutes to the beachside restaurants, bars, and grills in the resort, or head to nearby Shelter Cove Marina for even more choice.

Fairway Breeze

In between Harbour Town and South Beach on Hilton Head Island, this home epitomises holiday living with beach vibes abound thanks to the spot's whiteboard walls and maritime-themed furnishings. We particularly love the generous amount of social space; there's a double-volume living room and myriad of areas for guests to gather. Dinner can be eaten inside or out – on the large dining table underneath an artisanal light fitting or seated at the casual deck furniture across the patio. The kidney-shaped pool in the back garden is ready for cooling off from the heat – your hosts have even left you some colourful floats for guests both young and old – we're not ones to judge. 

Salty Breeze

There’s a real sense of calm about this newly remodelled beach house. Whether it’s the neutral shades, or the copious amounts of natural light, you’ll find any tension melting away the minute you step through the door.  Located in the sought-after Lawton Woods area of Sea Pines, it’s just a short walk or bike ride from Hilton Head’s glorious beaches. Spend your days soaking up that South Carolina sunshine on the sands, lunching at the oceanfront beach clubs, or exploring Harbour Town’s boutiques, craft shops and chilled out cafes. Back at your tranquil retreat, de-sand the kids, before firing up the grill, ready for an al fresco supper of local seafood. There's plenty of space to stretch out in the living room after dark – watch a movie or simply enjoy chatting over a glass of wine. 

Oystercatcher

Part of Sea Pines Plantation, where it all started for holiday rentals on beautiful Hilton Head Island, this fully renovated home is the perfect place to switch off and relax. Just a short walk from the beach, and with all the gated community's excellent amenities on hand, it's a peaceful and private getaway surrounded by pretty gardens and mature trees. Inside, think vaulted ceilings, wood floors and neutral tones, with a tasteful coastal theme throughout. The heart of the home is the huge, open plan kitchen, with its double-height ceiling, cosy seating area and dining table – all with excellent views of the garden thanks to the large windows and sliding doors. On cooler evenings, snuggle up around the fire in the cosy living room, and on warm summer days cook outside on the grill and laze the days away in your hot tub. Everything here is within easy reach, whether it's the miles of perfect beaches, the oceanfront dining or the nearby riding stables. It's just a six-minute drive (or a pleasant bike ride) to the shops and restaurants of Harbour Town and the path down to the beach leads directly from your garden.
