The Residence

1 Ocean Lane #1110

A completely remodeled first-floor oceanview villa inside gated Palmetto Dunes, this two-bedroom, two-bath residence at Villamare pairs breathtaking ocean views with a direct overlook of the newly renovated Serenity Pool — one of the most beautifully renovated villas available in the community, and ready to enjoy or rent from day one. The redesigned kitchen is the showpiece: stone countertops, a large island with generous cabinetry, stainless appliances, wall oven and separate cooktop, farmhouse sink and a dedicated beverage station. The primary suite opens to a spa-like bath finished in exquisite coastal tile with an oversized walk-in shower. A private balcony frames ocean and pool views across 1,232 square feet of single-level living. Residents enjoy a heated pool, fitness center and the security of a guarded, gated community — a renovated oceanview villa in one of Hilton Head Island's most established oceanfront addresses.

The Highlights

Two floors above the Atlantic, this oceanfront residence at 1 Ocean Lane frames the water as its defining view, with a balcony and patio that extend the living space into the salt air and open horizon. Inside, 1,232 square feet hold two bedrooms and two baths with the ease of a true island retreat. Beyond the door, Palmetto Dunes offers miles of gated beachfront, three championship golf courses, and the marina at Shelter Cove.

The value

At this level, value rests less on square-foot comparison than on what can't be reproduced — ocean views in Palmetto Dunes. Offerings of this kind are genuinely limited, which is what sustains their position in the market.

The Setting

Palmetto Dunes

Palmetto Dunes is a gated oceanfront resort community on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, spanning several miles of Atlantic beachfront. The community is distinguished by an extensive lagoon system that winds throughout the grounds, providing both scenic waterways and diverse habitat. Three championship golf courses — the Arthur Hills, George Fazio, and Robert Trent Jones layouts — are woven into the landscape.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I rent out a villa short-term in Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island, and what permits do I need?

Yes — Palmetto Dunes permits short-term rentals under its oceanfront-resort framework. An owner needs a Town of Hilton Head Island STR permit ($150 per bedroom per year) plus a separate Town business license and tax compliance, and the permit registers under an individual's name rather than an entity. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tracy Dayton before you rely on them.

Does the Villamare regime in Palmetto Dunes allow short-term rentals, or is it stricter than the community policy?

Villamare operates as a rental-capable oceanfront complex and units here are commonly marketed with rental history, but the regime declaration is the controlling document for any specific unit and can be more specific than the community-wide policy. Tracy Dayton can provide the current regime documents for review.

What amenities does Villamare in Palmetto Dunes have, and how does it compare to other oceanfront villa complexes on Hilton Head?

Villamare sits directly on the Atlantic with boardwalk beach access, two oceanfront outdoor pools and spas, an indoor heated pool, and a fitness center — one of only two villa-complex fitness centers in Palmetto Dunes. An oceanfront grilling area with tables completes the owner amenities.

Is a first-floor villa in Palmetto Dunes actually an ocean view, or only a partial one?

This residence is listed with ocean views plus a direct overlook of the newly renovated Serenity Pool, and the complex holds a direct oceanfront position on the beach. The balcony and patio frame both outlooks from the first floor.

What should I check in the regime documents before buying a Palmetto Dunes villa — budget, reserves, assessments?

Request the regime declaration, the current operating budget, the reserve balances and the assessment history — the regime governs the building envelope and common elements, so those documents are where the real cost and condition picture lives. Tracy Dayton can supply the current set for this unit.

What does it cost to own a condominium in Palmetto Dunes beyond the purchase price?

Beyond the $1,295,000 price, expect regime fees covering the building envelope and common elements, Beaufort County property taxes, insurance, and — if you rent — the Town STR permit at $150 per bedroom per year plus a business license. Fees are set per regime, and Tracy Dayton can confirm this unit's exact figures. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tracy Dayton before you rely on them.

Is Palmetto Dunes gated, and what is included inside the gates — golf, tennis, marina, dining?

Yes — the residential sections are gated, with entry off William Hilton Parkway. Inside are three championship golf courses, a tennis and pickleball center, an eleven-mile navigable lagoon system, miles of Atlantic beachfront, and Shelter Cove Harbour with its marina, dining and retail.

What are the three golf courses in Palmetto Dunes and are they open to the public or private?

The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront, George Fazio and Arthur Hills courses are resort courses with public tee times — not a private members' club. The Robert Trent Jones layout holds one of only two oceanfront holes on Hilton Head Island, and the Fazio is the island's only par-70.

Do existing vacation rental bookings transfer to the buyer when a Palmetto Dunes villa sells?

Forward bookings are commonly assigned to the buyer at closing, with advance deposits credited and the rental-management agreement either assumed or replaced — the terms are negotiated in the contract rather than automatic. Tracy Dayton can confirm the current booking calendar and how it would be handled here.

How does the Town of Hilton Head Island short-term rental permit work for a 2-bedroom Palmetto Dunes villa?

The Town charges $150 per bedroom per year, so a two-bedroom villa is permitted at that per-bedroom rate, alongside a separate Town business license. The annual registration window opens April 6 with a hard April 30 deadline and a $250 late penalty, and the permit number must appear prominently on every online listing. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tracy Dayton before you rely on them.

Is $1,295,000 reasonable for a renovated oceanview villa at this address?

Hilton Head's $1M-plus segment is balanced and firmed through the first half of 2026 — closings up 12.0% on inventory down 15.3% — and sellers island-wide are landing at about 96.5% of list on attached homes. A fully remodeled oceanview position inside gated Palmetto Dunes is priced to that market, not above it.

The building dates to 1986 — what has actually been updated, and who maintains the rest?

The interior is completely remodeled, including a redesigned kitchen with stainless appliances, beverage station, farmhouse sink, wall oven, separate cooktop, stone countertops and a large island. The building envelope and common elements are the regime's responsibility, and its budget, reserves and assessment history document that work.

Can I use the villa myself part of the year and rent it the rest?

That is the common ownership pattern here — Villamare is used for both second-home ownership and vacation rental, and Palmetto Dunes' resort framework is built for it. You hold your own calendar dates and release the balance, subject to the Town permit and the regime's rules.

Is this Palmetto Dunes villa sold furnished and turnkey for rental?

The residence presents as a completed remodel with a fully redesigned kitchen, balcony and patio, so it shows ready for immediate use. What conveys with the sale — furnishings, kitchen equipment and rental inventory — is set by the contract, and Tracy Dayton can confirm the exact inclusion list.
