Which Communities and Complexes Allow Dogs

Pet-friendly rentals in Hilton Head are decided at three levels: the resort or complex, the company, and the owner of the home. A complex can allow pets while the owner says no, so the rule below is where to start, and the listing has the last word. For a community that is not listed, ask the rental company about pets before you book.

Varies by owner

Sea Pines

The resort’s own program allows one dog under 50 pounds, and only in the homes and villas it marks as pet friendly. Other companies that rent in Sea Pines set their own rules.

About these rentals
Varies by owner

Palmetto Dunes resort rentals

The resort’s own rentals take 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. Independent companies set their own rules.

About these rentals
Varies by owner

Hampton Place

Some owners allow pets and some do not, so check the listing for the unit.

About these rentals

About these rentals

Peninsula at Newport, Shelter Cove

Neither short-term rentals nor pets are allowed, so it is a place to own, not to rent for a week.

About these rentals

Dogs on the Beach, by Season

A rental that takes dogs is only half the question: the island’s beaches have their own rules. They are the Town’s and apply at every public beach, and they change with the season, at the midday hours of 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. At all other hours a dog can be off the leash under voice control, in every season. The dog-friendly beaches guide has the details, including the one restricted area near Fish Haul Creek. If your dog gets sick or hurt on the trip, see Hilton Head vets, including the emergency animal hospital in Bluffton.

SeasonDatesMidday (10 a.m. – 5 p.m.)
WinterOct 1 – Mar 31Leash or voice control
SpringApr 1 – Thu before Memorial DayLeash only
Peak summerFri before Memorial Day – Labor DayNo dogs
Early fallTue after Labor Day – Sep 30Leash only

Rental Companies With a Pet-Friendly Filter

These companies have a page or a filter on their own site for homes that allow pets. Each card links to it, and each company lists its own fee and size limits there. The full company directory has the rest; ask any of them about pets before you book.

Before You Book a Pet-Friendly Rental

Bringing a cat or another pet? The Sea Pines and Palmetto Dunes resort programs are written for dogs, so ask before you book.

Size, number and breed

Limits are common: one dog, a weight cap, or a list of breeds. The resort programs above publish theirs; ask any other company before you book.

The pet fee

Many homes add a fee that is not refunded, so it belongs in the total you compare, next to cleaning and taxes.

The yard and the gate

Ask whether the yard is fenced and how far the home is from a beach that allows dogs. Gated communities may have their own leash rules.

Which weeks

Some pet rules change by season, like the Palmetto Dunes resort program above, and so do the beach rules.

Dog-Friendly Beaches
Dog-Friendly Beaches

Every Hilton Head beach is dog-friendly, but leash rules change by season and hour — plus a no-dog zone near Fish Haul Creek. Here’s exactly when and where.

Frequently Asked Questions

Updated

Where can I stay on Hilton Head with a dog?

In a rental that takes dogs. The Sea Pines Resort’s own rentals allow one dog under 50 pounds in the homes and villas it marks pet friendly. Palmetto Dunes resort rentals take one dog up to 40 pounds from October 1 to March 31. In Shipyard, the Golfmaster, Sailmaster and Waterford villas allow pets and each owner decides for a rental, and Anchorage Villas in Shelter Cove allow pets for rental guests.

Are there pet-friendly rentals in Sea Pines?

Yes. The Sea Pines Resort’s rental program allows one dog under 50 pounds, only in the homes and villas it marks as pet friendly. Other companies that rent in Sea Pines set their own rules, so check each listing.

Does Palmetto Dunes allow dogs in vacation rentals?

Only from October to March. The resort’s own rentals take one family dog up to 40 pounds per unit from October 1 to March 31, for a non-refundable fee, and no pets from April through September. Independent rental companies there set their own rules.

Can dogs go on the beach on Hilton Head?

Yes, with limits from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that change with the season. From the Friday before Memorial Day to Labor Day, dogs aren’t allowed on the beach during those hours. From April 1 to the Thursday before Memorial Day and from the Tuesday after Labor Day to September 30, they must be on a leash. From October 1 to March 31, and at every other hour of the year, a dog can be off the leash under voice control.

Do pet-friendly rentals charge a pet fee?

Often. Many homes add a pet fee that isn’t refunded, so count it in the total with cleaning and taxes when you compare. Ask about limits on size, number and breed before you book.
