Palmetto Commons is tucked away on five acres housed under a canopy of mature oaks and pines. The mid-island location is convenient to everything Hilton Head offers: fine dining, true southern nightlife, relaxing beaches, championship golf and world class entertainment. The mid-island location puts you just minutes away from nearby historic communities of Bluffton, Beaufort, Charleston, and Savannah, GA with the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport a short car ride away.

Palmetto Commons Villas offer a quiet wooded setting on the north end of prestigious Hilton Head Island. Located just a few minutes from route 278, Palmetto Commons provides easy access to the mainland and the island's recreational and shopping facilities. Within ½ mile of Palmetto Commons are the Hilton Head Hospital and the Northridge Shopping Center with its 10-movie theatre complex.

The split 2BR/2BA design is ideal for families and guests. Fully equipped contemporary kitchens feature brand new appliances, pantry, and breakfast bar. The interiors include wall to wall carpeting in the bedrooms, wood flooring in living areas, blinds, washer/dryer, freshly painted, crown molding, chair rail, and more. Palmetto Commons features a swimming pool, tennis court, fitness room, dog park, and a serene lagoon setting.

Whether you choose to spend your down time relaxing poolside with a good book or enjoying dinner with neighbors, Palmetto Commons has you covered. At the heart of the community is the clubhouse. There you'll find a full catering kitchen, and enough tables and chairs to entertain your guests at parties, cookouts and other activities. Adjacent to the club house is the community pool and expansive deck, complete with grill, lounge chairs and patio furniture.

Also housed in the clubhouse you'll find the fitness center. The newly renovated workout facility is fully equipped with professional grade Nautilus equipment and aerobic machines including treadmills, incumbent bikes and elliptical machines.

At the far end of the property, surrounded by nature, is the tennis court. The tennis court is accented by the irresistible charm of a southern style gazebo, dog park area, and Palmetto Commons' private lake.

Palmetto Commons developers have taken great care to bring to you a very comfortable and relaxing community that blends perfectly with the Island lifestyle.

2 bedroom/2 bathroom: Rental range is $1000 to $1200 per month
