Palmetto Dunes home rentals are the freestanding houses inside the gate, as opposed to the villas and condos in complexes like Villamare and Hampton Place. Palmetto Dunes house rentals typically have three to six bedrooms or more, so they are where big families and groups end up.

Homes by Setting

The resort files its homes by what they look out on: oceanfront, golf course, lagoon, marina and near-ocean, across more than 40 named neighborhoods. The listing’s view is the quickest way to tell how close to the sand a home is.

Homes vs. Villas

Villas at Palmetto Dunes run from one to four bedrooms, and homes typically start at three, so larger groups usually end up in a house. A house means no shared building, and the pools and beach access that come with a complex vary by home, so read each listing.

Pets, Passes and Minimum Stays

The resort’s own rentals are for three to seven nights or more. It allows certified service animals year-round, and family dogs up to 40 pounds, one per unit, from October 1 to March 31 for a non-refundable fee. It does not allow pets from April through September. One car pass comes with a stay, and you check in at the Welcome Center. Independent companies set their own pet and stay rules, so ask before you book.

Who Rents Palmetto Dunes Homes

Homes are owned individually and rented by the resort’s program and by independent companies. The Palmetto Dunes guide covers the gates and passes.
