Summary: Overall, very happy with our stay!
Paul L. May 13, 2025 07:40:37 AM
Summary: This is a great property and the management team were responsive and friendly. Walked everywhere.
Richard L. Dec 30, 2024 08:33:58 AM
Summary: A beautiful home in an amazing community. It was a perfect house for our family Christmas gathering. The kitchen is large enough for multiple people to gather and share in meal preparation. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. It would be helpful to have more kitchen items such as dinner plates and utensils.
Jackie S. Mar 20, 2024 04:16:26 AM
Summary: We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! Wonderful home and experience!
Nicolas S. Nov 9, 2022 01:00:58 PM
Summary: Beautiful home on one of the most relaxing properties we've ever visited. A big thank you to our host for such a well kept property.
Adriana M. Aug 9, 2022 11:02:11 AM
Summary: What a beautiful home! Tastefully decorated and so spacious. The house had everything we needed and more than we expected. We enjoyed everything from tennis, pools, restaurants, bicycle rides, and all the water activities-paddle boards, kayaks, and even did a boat excursion including tubing and Daufuskie island! It was a memorable trip.
anne j. May 10, 2022 11:00:20 AM
Summary: The house is gorgeous and very well maintained. It’s right next to the tennis courts so super convenient for tennis players. It’s a bit of a walk to the pool and “downtown”. The main complaint for us was the actual resort, bikes were sold out which made getting around difficult. We did not know we had to pre-book. Everywhere we went we were asked if we were owners or “just” VRBO renters. To a point where although we technically had access to the pool we did not feel very welcome. The lady at the outfitters was particularly pesky - so we just walked. It’s disappointing as the development is gorgeous but clearly not welcoming to renters. We communicated with the stables a few times before we arrived so we just headed there to see if we could find someone to talk to - big mistake. We were “caught” outside the gate and told in no uncertain terms we were not welcome. For the price we paid we would expect they would welcome visitors. No fault of the house or owners who were gracious and accommodating and beyond helpful. The people at the facilities however - definitely not.

Summary: This property is exactly as pictured and described. It sits in a central but quiet part of Palmetto Bluff resort and is perfectly located for those interested in racquet sports. Our family was super comfortable and happy during our stay. Being provided amenities such as shampoo, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. was a really nice touch and spared waste from one group of guests to the next. Highly recommend this house and its owners!!!
Brent H. Mar 13, 2022 12:00:44 PM
Summary: This home was perfect for our family of 11 and the location is ideal to access all Palmetto Bluff activities. We can’t wait to come back!
Laura S. Aug 15, 2021 11:01:08 AM
Summary: We loved every minute of our stay in this fabulous home. It is impeccably designed and so comfortable, with everything our family needed. Palmetto Bluff is absolutely wonderful!! Thank you so much!
