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!

We enjoyed our stay. The location is great and the unit itself is spacious. The deck is awesome and you can hear the ocean from it.
The wifi is very slow. It measures 5 mbps download speed, but less than 1 mbps of upload speed. Streaming is very very inconsistent, it’s likely that the speed varies and is less than what was measured. The screen door is coming apart a bit and there are a couple lighting fixtures that are either out or have a short. The kitchen sink faucet spray head gets stuck easily, and can make the sink difficult to use.
This is an awesome unit, and if the internet were a bit better and a couple things were fixed it would easily be a 5 star!

We had a nice stay at this location. It needs some updating, especially in the bathrooms. The tubs are a little bit difficult to use, especially if you have any mobility issues…which I do. It would be nice if one room had just a shower with easier access. It is oceanfront and you can see the ocean on the horizon from the balcony through the trees, but not the beach itself. Because this room is on the lower floor, that was expected. It also feels private, even though you have neighbors close to you. The internet service was not good. It would have been nice to have a better, more reliable connection, especially since so much communication, personal/business, relies on the internet. Cell service is very spotty due to the construction of the buildings and the nature of the island that prevents it. Weak cell service has been true for us almost everywhere in the condos where we have stayed in Palmetto Dunes. Access to the beach was easy and the ocean wonderful, as always. The blinds were partially broken and we were not able to raise them all the way to the top. It creates a partial obstruction of the outside view from the living room/kitchen area. The screen door was also off its track and unusable. If you wanted to leave the sliding door open, because the temps were comfortable (as during our stay), you had no way to keep flies and other bugs from coming inside. It was a minor issue, but being able to leave the sliding door open without worrying about bugs would have been nice.

My mom and I stayed here for a girls getaway. We really enjoyed this property and the location. It was very clean and great view—right on the beach. Seeing the deer at night and other wildlife was enjoyable. We will definitely be back!

The villa was close to the beach but very dirty. Air vents and fan packed with dust, window seals had dead bugs, baseboards were just nasty, and blankets had stains. Looked like it hadn’t had a deep clean in over a year. The property manager sent the cleaning crew out but they just did the basics. Will not be staying there again.

We had a great time. Condo was fine although it could use a little updating. Could not find any measuring cups or spoons in kitchen.

The property is in Palmetto Dunes which was nice! This unit faces the ocean and is a very short walk to beach. A cart and chairs were provided which made it easier. There was a slight delay at check in and the unit is slightly dated but overall it was a wonderful experience. Would rent again.

We stayed here for a wedding at Sonesta. The location is great. It was a 5 minute stroll on the beach to Sonesta and an easy walk to restaurants & activities. The condo itself is comfortable, clean and spacious. I was really impressed with how the condo floor plan efficiently maximizes the space. From the pictures online, I was expecting the condo to be smaller than it was, but in person there was more than enough room for the 5 of us to enjoy our stay comfortably which was huge because the weather was cold and rainy during our stay, so we spent more time in the condo than anticipated. The dining room and table were large enough for us to eat together and play cards & games. The sofa was comfortable & offered ample enough seating for talking & watching TV/movies. With 3 teens, we appreciated the extra TVs in the bedrooms as well. The large balcony has ocean views. It was so nice to open the sliders & hear the ocean. There was a wagon, beach chairs and beach towels for us to use, but due to the weather we weren't able to use them. It was nice to not have to bring our own beach items or rent them. The rental included plenty of towels, quality soaps, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, dish soap & detergent, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters etc. We appreciated the 24 hour parking pass pick up upon arrival. We had no issues with parking. Building & landscaping are well maintained. Safe & quiet community.

Clean, comfortable, well-appointed condo in Palmetto Dunes property. Perfect for our family to enjoy spring break on HHI. Loved sitting on the patio listening to the surf while enjoying morning coffee or evening cocktails. Appreciated having washer/dryer in the unit. There are four small beach chairs and a wagon, but you need to bring your own beach towels.

Nice overall condo in a great location
The condo overall was nice and in a great location convenient to the beach. Communication with the property manager was easy, and they responded quickly to questions. They also are flexible with check in and check out dates. Some HHI properties require a Saturday to Saturday stay, but they allowed a midweek check in. The only complaint is that the entire condo could use a deep cleaning. The cleaning crew basically just wiped down surfaces between guests. The floors and counter tops did not feel clean upon our arrival. I bought a bottle of cleaner at the store and thoroughly cleaned the counters and table before putting our food on them. If not for that, I would give them an overall 5-star rating.

We had a great time staying in this property. It’s spacious and clean. Very easy access to the beach. We enjoyed our first time visit to HHI very much. The bathroom is a little dated. The bathtub is high and without a handle bar could be easy to slip. Also it will be nice to provide beach chair and umbrella. But overall we enjoyed very much!

Great spring break getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We have stayed in Barrington several times and typically stay in the #13 units. The building is near the end of Palmetto Dunes, so it’s less crowded and very relaxing. While we missed full ocean views of higher floors, we loved being on the first floor with easy access to the stairwell and boardwalk. The condo is well-stocked and met all of our needs. Really liked the bed configuration in the guest bedroom (1 double, 1 twin). The condo could use some updates inside, but overall we had a fantastic stay. Check in process was very easy, even with our late arrival. Communication leading up to arrival was great. We will be staying here again.
