Great place for our family! Very clean, well decorated and everything we needed. From the great coffee bar to the extra beach towels & chairs. We enjoyed walking to Sands beach each evening. As well as GiGi's Restaurant within walking which proved to have a good outdoor area for the kids. Would definitely return to Palmetto Moon if in the area again. Great location near historic Beaufort for local shopping.

Wonderful stay in Port Royal

We really enjoyed our stay in Palmetto Moon Cottage, a very welcoming home with lots of thoughtful touches by the owner. Lovely but homely decor throughout the house, all facilities very comfy and as per description. Excellent location for peace and quiet, yet within walking distance of Port Royal attractions and easy drive to surrounding area. Host very welcoming and good communication. We hope to visit again in future.

A pretty good spot

This little apartment in Port Royal was one block from Madisons restraunts, one block the other direction to Fishcamp on 11th. (You have to google those, and then you have to go there1) It was minutes from Hunting Island State Park, the lighthouse, the Penn Center. We took a short day trip one day to Fort Sumter, and another to downtown Savannah. It's just an awesome place

Cutest place to stay!

This was a super clean, convenient and cute place! We were in town for a Marine basic graduation. When we weren’t on base, which was super close, it was a great place to relax. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies and anything else you could need. We walked to the beach and found shark teeth, had great ice cream on the walk back. I did have to email and request check in information and then there was some confusion with addresses and door codes information between that and the text I got but I figured it out quickly. They were fast to respond.

Duplex property

We had an OK stay in this rental. The location is nice and surrounding area easily walkable. This property is a duplex . The description lists it as an entire house, but truly, it's a duplex with shared walls, which normally I wouldn't rent. It's mentioned that the homeowner lives "next door" rather than stating it's a duplex. Also, the pictures on VRBO show a cute secluded patio with red umbrella and nice patio furniture, but that area was not at all as pictured. It was more of a storage area and not set up for use, so a bit disappointing. That was one of the reasons we chose this rental. Other posted pictures of the house also are not updated, although the interior was generally fine. Just not as pictured. I had a business meeting and the internet connectivity wasn't great, so I'd suggest finding an alternative location if you have a virtual meeting. Small details like several burned out lightbulbs and several missing rods on the window blinds, making them difficult to open & close were noted. Overall, our stay was OK...but a little different than previous places I've rented.
