Just a short stroll to pristine beaches, championship golf courses, and world-class dining, this retreat offers a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.

Inside, you`ll find high-end furnishings, luxury linens, smart home features, and a well-equipped kitchen—every detail thoughtfully designed for a seamless, memorable stay.

The second bedroom is perfect for couples, kids, or extended family, featuring a full-size bed, dresser, armoire, and flat-screen TV. A clever nook—once a closet—now houses custom-built bunk beds designed for children ages 2–12. Each bed includes a dimmable reading light, power outlet, and a built-in bookshelf with children`s books. (Each bed measures 22` wide by 6` long.)

The fully renovated bathroom features granite countertops, a custom-tiled floor, and a subway tile shower/tub combo.

The kitchen is outfitted with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and is equipped with cookware and utensils. You`ll also have a new front-loading washer and dryer for your convenience.

The open dining area seats six and connects seamlessly to the living space, where sliding glass doors open to a private backyard oasis. Outside, you`ll find sun loungers, a gas grill, high-end turf, and ambient white string lights for evening relaxation.

Community pools are just a short walk away, and the beach is about a 15-minute stroll (faster for adults). We`re located near the second hole fairway, with the clubhouse just a short walk from the cottage. Nearby attractions include Kroger, Shelter Cove Marina (shops and restaurants), and Shelter Cove Park with its playground and seasonal community events.

From April 1 to September 1, enjoy The Dunes Buggy, a free, on-call shuttle service offered by Palmetto Dunes that transports you and your gear quickly around the resort, including to and from the beach.

Your stay includes a starter set of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, garbage bags, and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap). We also provide beach towels, bath towels, bed linens, a standard coffee maker with filters, plus beach chairs and toys for fun in the sun.
