Kingston Dunes is a neighborhood of single-family homes along Kingston Dunes Road in Shipyard, on Hilton Head Island, set under old oaks less than a mile from the Sonesta Resort and the Shipyard Beach Club. It is not a villa complex: each house is owned and rented on its own, and some have private pools.
It is one of the Shipyard rentals we cover, and the pick when a group wants a whole house rather than a villa. For villas close by, see Colonnade Club and The Greens.
The Homes
Rental homes here mostly have three or four bedrooms and as many baths, and sleep six to ten. Some have private pools and decks, and some look out on the golf course.
Location
Kingston Dunes Road runs off Kingston Road toward the beach end of Shipyard. The Shipyard Beach Club is about a fifteen-minute walk or a five-minute bike ride, the Sonesta Resort and the Van der Meer tennis center are close, and Shipyard Golf Club is a short ride.
Renting a Kingston Dunes Home
Companies renting homes here include Coastal Vacation Rentals, Hilton Head Rentals and Sunset Rentals, and some homes are on Vrbo. Because each house is owned separately, pools, pets and bedding vary: some allow dogs and some do not, so check each listing. Shipyard is gated. Whoever you book with authorizes a pass for your stay, which you pick up at the Pope Avenue gate or the US 278 gate. Staying inside the gate also gives you use of the Shipyard Beach Club.
