Beautiful 3rd Row Dunes House with Direct Beach Path Access

Major renovations completed for 2024 bookings! Please inquire for shorter stay quotes for all remaining open weeks, will respond within 24 hours!



Two new bathrooms on first floor! Changed house from a 3.5 Bath to a 4 Full Bathroom house! The first floor 1/2 bathroom was converted to a full bathroom with a tub. The master bathroom on first floor was completely renovated with a huge new shower!

Brand new hot tub installed!

Brand New Trex Deck as of 2023, New Upstairs Bathroom as of 2023! New pool renovations for 2023.

All 2024 booking will require review and acceptance of lease agreement.

Why stay at 98 Mooring Buoy?
1. No waiting in line at the rental agency office! Keypad access to house!
2. Location! 3rd row house, direct access to beach path, 100 yards to beach. No need to shlep your gear across the street or "drive to the beach", you are close enough to the beach to walk back and forth for drinks and bathroom breaks! This house is located midway down Mooring Buoy, you are sufficiently far enough from the hotels and condos on either end of the beach to not have to deal with those crowds. This section of beach is generally much quieter and less crowded than the Marriot and condo beaches from Singleton beach area.
3. Bigger house with more king bedrooms, more big couches, 10-12 person family dining table, more LARGE TV's for cheaper than houses further down Mooring Buoy. Dont be tricked into smaller 3 bedrooms houses down the street...this house has a great open floor plan, big TVs!, large garage for ping pong. Golden Tee arcade game for kids and adults inside!
4. Upgrades! See renovations listed below!
5. Nothing in this house is rental grade, furniture, TV's, appliances, bedding, everything is upgraded and comfortable for your week at the beach.

Location
Welcome to 98 Mooring Buoy in the beautiful Palmetto Dunes neighborhood! This house is less than 100 yards to the Ocean and is directly on the Beach Path (3rd Row from Ocean)! This house has just undergone major renovations as noted below completed in late 2020, 2021 and many renovations just completed for 2024 season. Two brand new bathrooms installed! New hot tub for April 2024!
You do not have to cross Mooring Buoy to get to the beach! This house is between High Rigger and Galleon for cross streets.

Why Rent 98 Mooring Buoy?
Read our reviews, everyone loves this house! I am the owner as of 2020, and I work endlessly to provide a great vacation week in Hilton Head at our house. Large and spacious, this house is over 3200 square feet.

This house is more convenient to the ocean than some 2nd row homes as it is ON the beach path. Some 2nd row homes you have to walk out to Mooring Buoy to get to a beach path!

This is a fabulous home for children and elderly, only 3 steps up to house from pool area or access the front of the house with two steps up the driveway!

Access to the beach path is right past the pool. The beach access path is handy cap friendly as there are no steps down the path to the ocean. This is also great for bicycles and strollers.

2023-2024 Renovations
1) 1/2 Bathroom on first floor converted to full bathroom with tub.

2) Beautiful first floor master renovation.

3) New modern Upstairs Connected Bathroom

4) New outdoor Trex Deck

5) New huge sectional couch in great room

6) All bedding refreshed

7) Second brand new LG 27 square foot fridge in laundry room, connected ice maker!

8) Brand new table tennis in garage!

9) New pool tile/plaster for 2023, beautiful redesign!

It is set up for those large group gatherings. It also has bar seating, and a large table with six chairs. The dining room table easily seats 10 (2 extra chairs in closet for up to 12 person family dining!). The kitchen is very well stocked for amateur or pro chefs, I have tried to provide as many cooking accessories and appliances as possible, nice kitchenaid blender for smoothies, Mr. Coffee and Kuerig coffee machines, nice sharp knives, cutting boards, all included!

Deck and Pool
Brand new Trex deck for 2023!

One of the best features of this house is the pool, deck, and outdoor entertainment area. The large deck stretches the entire length of the house, on the deck you will find:

Oasis 10 Seat Outdoor Table with Umbrella
Glass Top Table, 10 Comfortable fabric chairs for outdoor dining

Pool Area
1) 8 Tan Omega Chaise Loungers
3) 4 White Polywood Adirondack Chairs

Down a few steps from the deck is the heated (cost varies per season) pool, and outdoor shower. There is plenty of furniture for relaxing, as well as a swing and gazebo to enjoy along side the pool.

This is a great beach house, set up for a large group or family, and it is waiting for you!

*POOL can be heated to 82 degrees at an additional cost.
Hot tub is included in pool heating rate and will heat to 99-100 degrees.
Pool heater is a heat pump(will not heat when air temperature below 50 degrees).

The pool/hot tub heating rate $650/week. Please confirm with the owner after booking if you wish to have this amenity added to your booking. Must be added and paid minimum 1 week in advance.

Beach Path
Ocean is just a 30-45 second walk away along a paved non traffic walkway.

Wifi & TV
High Speed Spectrum internet service installed with a Deco Mesh WIFI system to ensure there are no wifi drops in the house! All the devices hook up seamlessly.

There is a brand new 2021 Samsung Q7 75' flat screen TV in the great room.

The three master bedrooms have 2021 brand new 55" Samsung TV's installed with Spectrum TV app loaded for cable TV content. The twin room has a new 2021 50" Samsung TV. There is new 2021 43" Samsung in the den with an HDMI cable attached, convenient to bring your own gaming system or other device to connect.

We take great pride in the home. We will not rent for group weddings or other formal events. All renters are required to review and agree in writing to all Palmetto Dunes policies, VRBO lease, and house rules. This is provided at time of booking and will be emailed to you within 24 hours of booking. You will be required to return lease within 48 hours of receipt of booking will be cancelled. I am happy to send to you in advance if there are any questions about Palmetto Dunes rules and policies!

Conditions of Rental:
There is a palmetto dunes gate fee of $25 per car per week payable to Palmetto Dunes when arriving . This is not included in your charge and not payable to me.
No RVs, motorcycles, or trailers allowed in the Dunes. Any violation of the house rules will result in an immediate revocation of the lease.
All renters are required to acknowledge in writing acceptance of the house rules and Palmetto Dunes association rules prior to occupancy. This is required at time of booking or reservation will be cancelled.

For all bookings in 2024 and beyond, I am requiring a $500 refundable deposit. The primary reason for this deposit is the new cable railings installed in the house. These have been safety torqued to building codes to withstand pressure from a fall or other light impact. They are not designed to be climbed on. If the cables are damaged during your stay, the replacement cost is $500 per cable. This is not negotiable and will be assessed if damage is noted. The house is checked and inspected every week for this purpose. If you decide to rent this house, I strongly recommend you advise all your guests to be careful around the stairway cables.

For added security, this house has perimeter lighting and security cameras installed. These are located to monitor the garage, front door, and pool/beach path area. Owner does not have remote access to the cameras and all footage is stored locally. This is in place to protect you in the event of any incidents at the house.

The house is surrounded by many types of trees, plants, flowers, and other beautiful aspects of South Carolina foliage. I provide an electric leaf blower to assist with blowing off the deck if needed. The outdoor table and furniture is power cleaned every 2-3 months and I do my best to keep this brand new furniture is top condition. There will be occasions on your arrival that the outdoor table and chairs will require a quick wipe down prior to use and the deck might need to be cleared with the leaf blower. The landscaping surrounding this house is extensive and as such, there is a lot of wildlife in Palmetto Dunes. I kindly ask as part of your rental time to be cognizant of open doors and sliders around the house, the wildlife does and can enter the house, especially if there is fresh food on the counters!

Please note, the windows in this house do not open. The sliders on the first and second floor can be opened to provide sufficient fresh air if needed.

Friends vacation
Just returned from a week's stay at this lovely home and property. Everything was just as listed, Craig, the owner, was awesome with all his communication, and any questions we had. Home had everything we needed and more. The pool and spa were beautiful, needed to be skimmed frequently because of leaves falling due to awesome landscaping. Home is in a gated and beautiful community. A short walk on a paved walkway to the beach- beach is beautiful, on my daily walks saw Jellyfish, crabs of various types and sizes, and even saw dolphins in the distant jumping in the waves! Beach is perfect for walking or biking on. Great stores and restaurants nearby. We stayed with 2 other couples, (we are all 66+), and were sad when our week was completed. Highly recommend staying at this home for all age groups!

Cant wait to return!
This was our first out of state family vacation. Everything was amazing and accommodating for our family of 6 from start to finish. The house was perfect and location to beach was a short path away. Easy access to neighborhood and fun things to do, however there was already so much at the property we didn’t need to leave. The owner was very responsive with any questions regarding our stay. I would highly recommend this home! Cant wait to book next year!

Perfect Hilton Head Vacation
This was our first time to visit Hilton Head. Our usual beach vacation spots typically include OBX and Myrtle Beach. Without a doubt, Hilton Head and this specific rental stands among the best, if not the best time we have experienced. The neighborhood setting is perfect (Palmetto Dunes) on a beautiful street, but especially a beautiful house with many upgrades that have been made. All bedrooms are good size with larger than average TVs with tremendous viewing options, especially the one in the great room overlooking a fabulous private pool. The large kitchen with a huge island is packed with nearly every amenity imaginable. The path leading to the beach is only steps away from the pool area with only a 2-3 minute walk to a beautiful, uncrowded beach. The host, Craig, completes the icing on the cake with this rental. He checks in to make sure all is ready and stays in touch periodically to make sure everything is going smoothly. This is the first time we have been in a vacation rental house where everything worked without a hitch the entire time. The outdoor activities and eating opportunities within a small radius are endless, especially all the bike trails. We do plan to make Hilton Head one of our regular vacation destinations as long as we have the opportunity to stay at 98 Mooring Buoy. Obviously, we highly recommend this rental with its fabulous host.

Amazing vacation in an amazing house!
This is the best house we’ve stayed in on HHI! It truly has it all— great location, well stocked kitchen, amazing deck and pool, as well as lots of seating and king beds for the family! Communication with the owner was top notch and the ability to check in early was a perfect way to kick off our vacation. Would definitely stay here again!

This house was perfect for our whole family. The house has everything you could need. It is in a perfect location with the walking distance to the beach and then having the pool in the backyard. The pool felt very good after some time at the beach. Would definitely stay here again if our family doesn’t grow.

Great House!
Been to Palmetto Dunes several times and this is the cleanest, most well stocked house we have rented. Everything works, kitchen has everything you need, TV's were great, beds are comfortable, fast WiFi, phone chargers everywhere, plenty of ice, 20 feet from the beach path, A/C worked good. Great communication with the owner. The air mattress was a good fit for the walk in closet for my 3 year old granddaughter.
