Villamare is an oceanfront villa complex in Palmetto Dunes, Hilton Head, set between the Hilton beachfront hotel and Captain’s Walk. It has two- and three-bedroom villas, a private boardwalk with an outdoor shower that runs to the beach, and its own pools, and the operator calls it one of the most popular beachfront villa complexes on the island.

It is one of the Palmetto Dunes rentals we cover, alongside Hampton Place, the other big oceanfront complex near the south gate.

The Villamare Villas

Units are two- and three-bedroom villas, with private balconies and gas grills, and the complex has a parking garage, elevators, a fitness center and a large grilling area for guests.

Pools and Beach Access at Villamare

Villamare has two outdoor pools, each with its own hot tub: a quieter serenity pool and a livelier family pool. There is also a private indoor pool with a jacuzzi and a health club. The boardwalk with an outdoor shower is the way to the sand.

The beach is the same three-mile stretch the rest of Palmetto Dunes uses, and The Dunes House, the resort’s beachfront bar and grill, is on it.

Who Rents Villamare and How Passes Work

Each villa is owned separately, so several companies rent them. The resort’s own rental program has Villamare units, and independent companies such as Hilton Head Properties & Rentals, Host & Home, Island Time Hilton Head, Luxury Rentals of Hilton Head, Sunset Rentals and The Vacation Company list them too. The resort’s own rentals are for three to seven nights or more, and other companies set their own minimums.

Palmetto Dunes is gated. Guests in a resort-managed rental get their car passes at check-in, and if you book with another company, ask how they handle passes before you arrive. The full rules are in the Palmetto Dunes guide.
