Hilton Head Island will undergo beach renourishment from September 2025 through May 2026 to help preserve the shoreline. During this time, small sections of beach (no more than 1,000 feet at a time) may be temporarily closed to pedestrian access as the project moves along. Plenty of beach will remain open and accessible for you to enjoy throughout your stay.

Does Mooring Buoy 187 look familiar If so, you may have seen it featured on HGTV’s “Vacation Home for Free” TVshow. Walls were knocked out, rooms reconfigured, and everything raised to the level of a dream vacation getaway when this beautiful vacation home in the Palmetto Dunes neighborhood was completely renovated. Featuring four bedrooms and three beautifully outfitted bathrooms spread across one level, Mooring Buoy 187 can accommodate 12 guests (and your furry friends) comfortably! Mooring Buoy 187 is only five rows from the beach! Walk to the beach in five minutes or hop on a bike and be there in two.

Mooring Buoy 187 is a sprawling ranch style home with a deck that backs up to a lagoon where you and your friends can kayak. If you have a kayak, be sure to bring it! This is a home that welcomes everyone, including your pets. The open design allows full accessibility for the mobility challenged and also makes it safe for any young ones in your group.

When you drive up, you’ll discover there’s plenty of parking in front of the beautifully landscaped Mooring Buoy 187. With a yard this nice, you might linger for a few moments before you dive into your vacation! This is a home designed for outdoor living and features a covered patio area with comfy chairs and Adirondacks. The real showstopper is the deck out back that is right on the lagoon. There’s a gas grill where you can prepare the fish you plan to catch off the Harbour Town pier or on a fishing charter. You even have an enclosed outdoor shower in case the kids need to wash off sand from their trip to the beach.

Mooring Buoy 187 is just as spectacular inside as it is out. An open floor plan with skylights, large windows, and wood floors gives the home a warm, inviting feel that draws people together for conversations, games, and fun. Sleek and modern, but exceptionally comfortable, furniture is a hallmark of this immaculate property. In addition to the main living room with its decorative fireplace, there’s a den containing a huge 60-inch flat-screen TV with cable. With so many options, your biggest group decision may be what to watch! There’s also free WiFi and a CD player to add to your enjoyment.

With Coco’s on the Beach and the restaurants of Shelter Cove Marina close by, you have many options for dining out. However, with the beautifully updated Mooring Buoy 187 kitchen at your disposal, you may prefer to make a trip to the nearby Kroger’s or Whole Foods Market and prepare your meals at home. Brand-new white cabinets, Bosh stainless-steel appliances, and sprawling black countertops make cooking in this kitchen pure delight. You have everything you need from cookware to serving ware and utensils on hand.

If you’re not dining outdoors on the patio (there's room for six!), you can gather your group around the dining room table. The ingenious design of Mooring Buoy 187 creates an actual dining room while also keeping the space open and accessible to the flow of the home design. Every meal you serve in this dining room will feel special. The table seats up to six. If additional places are needed, you can seat up to six additional guests at the breakfast bar.

There’s so much to do and see on Hilton Head Island that your days will be filled with fun. Within Palmetto Dunes there are three golf courses, an award-winning tennis facility, and a General Store. You’ll also want to visit Harbour Town to tour the lighthouse, book a dolphin-watching cruise, shop, and maybe rent a bike to explore the extensive trail system on the island.

When you’re ready to settle in for the night, you’ll love slipping into your king-size bed in the primary bedroom. If you can't fall asleep, there's a 60-inch flat-screen TV to catch up on your favorite shows before a restful snooze. The room has access to the deck where you can enjoy a late-night cocktail by the lagoon before drifting off to sleep to the gentle stirrings of the ceiling fan or enjoying the dancing flames of the remote-controlled fireplace. Your primary en-suite is just as impressive. With its dual vanities, each with a sink, and lots of counter space, you’ll be able to get ready for your day at your leisure.

The second and third bedrooms each include a comfortable king-size bed, ceiling fans, and sitting areas as well as their own en-suite bathrooms with walk-in showers for the ultimate guest experience.

The fourth bedroom is the perfect kid zone featuring two bunk beds for up to four children. Coupled with the books and games available at the property, just imagine the fun and adventures the kids will have at Mooring Buoy 187!

    Nice house set in a beautiful tropical setting. Good access to a beautiful private beach. Overall, the house was comfortable, but could use some better organization in the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Also, the shower house was unusable. Good value for the money.

    My friends and I had a wonderful stay in Palmetto Dunes. Everything was as-listed and the house was in a perfect location for beach access

    Accessibility was a priority with us, so being all on one level was perfect. We appreciated the bedrooms being separated from each other since there were different couples staying. The neighborhood was very quiet with a short walk to the beach. The deck was nice, but is aging and some repairs are needed. It would have been nice to have the deck chairs cleaned off and cushions that were stowed somewhere so they would stay clean.The kitchen was well-equipped with cookware, bake ware and dishes.We would have appreciated a larger toaster for 6 people, more light in the dining room and some lamps in the living room. There were no hot pads for baking and we would have appreciated more dish towels and at least some salt and pepper. Two more suggestions would be have some ant spray handy under the sink....we had an ant infestation....and some attention to the front bedroom bed. It was very squeaky. All just tips for a more pleasant stay, but in general, we had a great time!

    The house was clean and well kept. It's showing it's age in a few places but everything was operational. Vtrips (Claire specifically) was extremely responsive to anything that came up while we stayed. The floor plan was great with everyone (except the bunk room) having their own bathroom. I would recommend and stay here again.

    Fabulous location/street we had stayed on before. Place is great and as advertised. Would have stayed there again in 2025...if the price didn't double year over year.

    We had a great time in Hilton Head and at this property. The layout of the house was great and the grounds were beautiful.

    The property was lovely. It’s true what the other reviews say about the bugs. Even on chilly nights it was a little buggy out back by the water. This is a pet friendly house however the yard is not fenced in at all and this is not advertised. Getting into the house was easy and clear. If you are a larger party plan to arrive at the same time bc it’s a 15m drive back to the gate to hand off parking passes to all cars in the party. Just those little logistical things but it is a nice and spacious Home in a quiet neighborhood. Would book again.

    Ok let's get the bad stuff out of the way first. I agree with previous visitors who had issues with bugs. Since this is a known issue (even the pest control mentioned that they always get calls about this property) the property should always be sprayed down PRIOR to guests arriving. This was an unnecessary headache that could have been avoided. Second, the portal was a bit confusing. We were not given a code and had to call in to have the portal reset. Also, it wasn't made clear that the parking passes were needed to ACCESS the property gate. The portal just says that the passes need to be picked up from the office and keep on the car dashboard. Lastly, there were too many check out reminders. We received 2 or 3 reminders the day before. The day of checkout we received another 3. Guests don't need that many reminders about check out. One reminder the day before is sufficient. Outside of those things the property itself was lovely! Access to the beach is within walking distance (a few minutes). The neighborhood is quiet and tranquil and the property was well cleaned. The customer service was amazing! Ms. Diane was VERY responsive anytime we reached out to her and was an absolute joy to work with. This more than made up for the few hiccups we had : )

    The house was great and had plenty of space for us to spread out. It was a very short and easy walk to the beach and a short drive from everything we needed. It was bright and open and great for our young kids. (Some of the rooms let in a lot of light, even with the curtains closed in case you have little kids that need darkness.) We would definitely stay here again. The only negative: there were swarms of mosquitoes as soon as we stepped outside and as we walked to the beach. Nothing to do with the house other than being close to the lagoon but we didn’t get to enjoy the backyard or porch as a result. Had a nice trip and thanks for having us!
