Wonderful house in Palmetto Bluff!

We took our family, including grandchildren, for a vacation at Palmetto Bluff. This home was perfect in every way. Excellent location in walking distance from main shops, restaurants and activities, ample space, luxuriously furnished rooms. The perfect house! We rented bikes and were able to go everywhere on them.

Beautiful and comfortable...we had a wonderful time!

We had a delightful time at Palmetto Bluff. The weather was perfect, our darling house was most comfortable and our time with our children was a sweet memory maker. Our house in addition to the guest house provided plenty of space for 8. The front porch and the screened porch provided great outdoor spaces. We loved the back patio with the fire pit. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed the living room with its sound system. We would stay at this property again without a doubt. Thank you!

Perfect location, perfect house

We were in Palmetto Bluff for a wedding and stayed at this beautiful property. The location is ideal near the cute shops and great restaurants that Palmetto Bluff offers. Prior to arrival we were in touch with the management team who were so friendly, responsive, and helpful in booking any extras for our stay. They also checked in throughout our stay to make sure all was going smoothly at the property. We had 4 couples staying at the house and had plenty of space to relax and spread out. The bedrooms were all spacious with all king beds which were super comfortable! We didn’t have time to cook but the kitchen was equipped with high end appliances and stocked with everything you would need to cook and dine at home. Overall a great property with a great team running it! Will definitely return!
