During the months from April 1st to September 1st Palmetto Dunes offers a free on call door to door shuttle service known as The Dunes Buggy that will take you and all your things between the cottage, the beach and all the locations listed above. They typically arrive within 10 minutes of being called and the drivers are great! Hilton Head Outfitters is located near the cottage and they offer bike rentals. We enjoy biking the island, especially during the cooler months. Upon booking your reservation, there is a welcome guidebook in PDF format in the VRBO reservation. We highly recommend reading it before your stay to be able to reserve bikes ahead of time, have an idea of food in the area, familiarize yourself with groceries and the Dune Buggy (when in season). \*\*If there is an opportunity for an early check in (if there are no guest the night before), there is a $25 per hour fee. This is typically not available, but you can inquire the day before check in.

The bunk beds in the second bedroom are only for use by children 12 and under. The width of the beds is 22 inches and they are built into what was a closet space.
