I guess the reason we loved 10 Ketch is that we have 4 couples that share the rent...not all homes have equal accomodations. Some have only 1 Master BR and a few have 2...this beautiful home has 4. Everyone has a King size bed , jacuzzi tub , separate showers and plenty of closet space and a view of the ocean. Heck, there is plenty of space everywhere. When we all wanted to be together,we were...when we didn't, we could go to the pool, outside jacuzzi, beach or just read on the porch looking at the pool and ocean.
We never had a problem and when there was a question , we had people there in minutes just to check on the issue. Never stayed anywhere where we felt more comfortable. Are we going back ??? Everytime we can !!!
Loved talking and texting Luann...we feel like she is our next door neighbor. Look forward to one day in future, meeting her up close and personal. Loved everything about 10 Ketch.
By the way, we had a little accident while we were there and the Palmetto Dunes EMT's were there in 1 minute and handled everything wonderfully. The only reason I mentioned this is that if you have a medical problem, you are not alone at Palmetto Dunes...the personel are wonderful. Also, got discounts on golf...the best golf courses on the island.
It just don't get any better than this !!!

We had a great time at 10 Ketch. The house was perfect. There were 12 of us for my wife and sister in laws birthdays. The bedrooms are very large and you could get lost in the bathrooms. Plenty of open living space in the living room, kitchen and dining rooms. Since the house is right on the beach, we had a very easy time keeping up with the kids between the beach and the pool. Palmetto Dunes is very beautiful and relaxing. Plenty of bike trails, and convenient to restaurants, groceries, etc. As always, Luann is a perfect hostess and was very responsive to my questions and had great pointers.
Everyone in our family enjoyed the stay and can't wait to come back.

The location and the home were perfect for our family vacation. The house and pool area are not only beautiful, but also well maintained. The owners were also very nice to work with, and were willing to answer any questions that may have come up during our stay. Overall, we were very happy with our decision to stay at 10 Ketch and hope to return in the future.

10 Ketch is an exceptional property. It feels like home the moment you unpack. Our family has rented other vacation properties in the past and they usually "felt" like rental property. This oceanfront home is furnished beautifully with comfort and class in mind. No "rental grade" feel to this one. The owner, Luann, obviously takes pride in keeping the home fresh and current. She always responded promptly to any questions I had and was pleasant to work with in general. Our family included 3 teens and 2 younger children. It's real plus that each bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. The bedrooms are large and well appointed. The size of the house allows ample room for "family time" in the main living room/dining room areas as well as room for everyone to retreat for quiet reading or a nap etc. With the pool right outside the back door and the beach just steps down the private walkway it couldn't get any better. I'd also add that Luann provided us with very useful information prior to arrival. Her packet included area events, directions to local restaurants, shopping, markets....even tips such as to when to avoid the markets due to "peak" hours. I'd give this experience 10 stars if it were an option. We will be back!

Spring Break of a Lifetime!

Review submitted: May 29, 2012
Date of arrival: March 17, 2012
Our family decided that the incredible Hilton Head Island would be the destination for this year's spring break. As we looked at various properties that were available, 10 Ketch was hands-down the number one choice for our stay.
The house is wonderfully appointed with every convenience that we needed for our stay. Huge flat-screen in the main room, fantastic kitchen, a four of the five bedrooms with ocean views, private walkway to the beach – just incredible! The owners were very attentive to our needs and made sure that our stay was comfortable as well. We had the pleasure of entertaining another family that was staying at a resort complex. They commented on how nice it was to swim in a pool that was actually heated to a comfortable degree – something that wasn’t the case where they were staying.
All-in-all it was all positives. Thanks for a great memory!

FABULOUS!!! For the past 8 years, we have vacationed in Hilton Head for spring break with another family. We always stay in Palmetto Dunes and rent a home in the Mooring Buoy area.
10 Ketch is by far the best home we have ever stayed in. The house is amazing! 5 bedrooms, each having their own bath make this great for couples or families staying together. The views are the best on the island, which you can enjoy from 4 of the 5 bedrooms.
The kitchen is well stocked and the owner supplies about (15) beach towels so you never have to pack towels, which is huge.
The outside pool and spa are are very clean and there are plenty of loungers and chairs for everyone.
Being able to just walk out to the beach to enjoy a sunrise is one of our favorite things.
Aside from the property itself, working with owner has been a great pleasure. The customer service, response time and interest in our vacation enjoymnet is something you rarely find.
I highly recommend this property and promise that you will want to come back year after year!

What a great spot!
Review submitted: March 28, 2012 Date of arrival: February 1, 2012
Several friends and myself used this home as our sanctuary while we were playing in a week long Bridge Tournament in Hilton Head. It served our purposes to a tee. We were seven adults (all unrelated) and the layout was ideal for privacy and yet collegiality also. We all followed our own routine in the mornings so there was not set time for breakfast...the large and apacious kitchen permitted one or seven to be putting things together at the same time. We generally made communal lunches and most dinners and found the kitchen to be fully equipped to suit that purpose. (We especially appreciated having a few basic spices available so we did not have to buy bulk.)
The proximity to the beach was probably the highlight for most of us...our long morning walks are still the topic of conversation when we meet each other at the Bridge table.
Lastly, I want to thank the owner, Luanne, for being caring and interested in meeting our needs in such a positive manner. Service will always make the difference.

This property provided us with the best vacation ever! The house is absolutely beautiful. The secluded heated pool and spa were are favorite features. The private access to the beach was an added bonus. The house is located in a gated, secure community with activities and shopping nearby. Unlike other properties, the owner provides linens, towels, and cleaning after your visit. We give this place our highest recommendation!

We cannot wait to stay again hopefully one more time before the end of this year and then a couple times next year. I HIGHLY recommend this homeowner if you want a beautiful, quiet, and absolutely beautiful beach front home to stay in. So many things to do right in Palmatto Dunes ... Amazing restaurants near by! Cannot wait to go again!!!! Thanks again!

We rented the place for 5 people + 14 months old a baby. The place is amazing!! So beautiful - in and out, Clean, very well equipped, Practically on the beach, lovely swimming pool + sitting area, very good airconditioning, great kitchen area, inspiring bedrooms. No bugs!!!
Owner was extremely nice and helpful for our questions, minor problems solved right away.
Be prepared - no food ingrediants at all.
The photos on the web are not cheating even a bit. What you see is what you get.. even better.
We stayed in,we walked to the beach, we cooked a lot, we watched tv on the huge screen, we listened to music, we had a baby running all around - it's quite baby safe. We felt at home.
I would certainly go back. I highly recommend.
Thank you Luann - for letting us have your lovely house.

For the past 10 years my husband, 2 children and another family with children take our spring break in Hilton Head. We always rent in the neighborhood of Mooring Buoy on Palmetto Dunes and love it!
This year we decided to rent ocean front and it was our best rental yet!
From the ease of working with the owner to the beautiful location and fanatastic house layout, it was a perfect vacation spot.
We enjoyed it so much that we have reserved the same spot for next year. Definitely a 5-star location, house and experience!

I have stayed at most locations in Palmetto Dunes, however, this home is easily the best by far. From the beautiful views upon walking in the front door, to the breathtaking views upon falling asleep, this home allows the ocean to be part of every moment. We saw dolphins and diving pelicans every morning, rode the beach cruisers (6 provided) in the afternoons, and enjoyed peaceful evenings on the cocktail deck overlooking the surf. The owner assisted with a special occasion by helping us identify and work with a local florist for a fantastic flower arrangement there for our arrival. Truly a fully stocked home with plenty of beach towels, kitchen equipment, games, pillows, movies pool/beach toys, etc., etc. I recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, beach home settled in the middle of pristine Palmetto Dunes.

This is an excellent location with a very well-designed home and an owner who provides exceptional service. An ocean-view exists from almost every room in the house. Four of the five bedrooms are master suites with great views (a fifth is primarily a child’s bedroom). The “main” room, dining room (seats 12) and kitchen (also with separate eating area) are open and spacious. The property is exceptionally well-maintained, and the owner continually updates the home to keep it current to meet the needs of the renters. Any problems are dealt with very quickly, and the owner continuously requests feedback about any possible improvements. It is hard to imagine a better place or better owner.

Fantastic Beach House
Review submitted: January 7, 2010 Date of arrival: September 12, 2009
This is a great beach house in all regards. My wife and I have vacationed in Palmetto Dunes for many years, more recently choosing beachfront homes for our extended families. 12 of us (4 generations)vacationed at 10 Ketch the week of Sept 12-19, 2009 and could not have had a better experience.
The house layout is an ideal beachfront home with expansive ocean views from the living room/dining areas and 4 fully oceanfront bedrooms. The pool and large patio area are very nice and the house has a shorter boardwalk to beach than some homes in the area. This is the most well-equipped house we have rented, with movies, games, books, pool floats, beach bikes, an indoor entertaiment center with ipod dock as well as flawless wi-fi access.
This house and surrounding property are very well maintained. Interior decor is very nicely done and comfortable. The owner is extremely nice, accessible to answer questions and genuinely concerned about the quality of stay! We certainly look forward to staying at this house again.

This is truly the best vacation getaway we have found. The house comfortably accomodates us for family meals, games, TV or enjoying the spectacular views. It also allows each of us alone time if needed. The kitchen is well equiped. The bedrooms and baths are comfortable and quiet. The beach is awesome for walking, riding bikes, fying kites, building sand castles or reading a book and listening to the waves. Our grandchildren especially enjoy the pool. The property is continually updated and well maintained. We appreciate the information that is available for island activities and dining. The owners are very accessable and eager to make our visit enjoyable. We are already looking forward to our next week at 10 Ketch.

Date of arrival: May 16, 2009
We once again rented this magnificent home and found it to be even better than our last stay. The improvements the owner made from last year transformed this home to an even more beautiful place in which to enjoy our vacation. The living room and dining rooms had new carpets, the living room furniture had been luxuriously reupholstered, new doors to the decks from the two lower bedrooms as well as the door to the pool had been replaced. A new king bed with comfy mattress and sumptuous bedding was in one of the main floor bedrooms. That same bedroom had been freshly painted and new lighting installed in its huge spa-like bath. Even though we had a few days of inclement weather, we felt cozy and at home by enjoying the large flat-screen TV, putting together a few of the many puzzles, playing a few of the many games so thoughtfully placed in the cupboards, and reading the island newspaper that was delivered daily. Although the ocean was a little rough, it was still intensely beautiful and mesmerizing to watch from the home’s many oceanfront windows. When the sun came out, we enjoyed walking on the beach, swimming in the immense pool, and hopping into the relaxing hot tub. As before, the home was clean and the views from all four master bedrooms were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very spoiled by all the special amenities. The owner is so wonderful to work with and very accommodating. She truly cares about her guests. We will definitely return!

This home lives up to and surpasses the descriptions and pictures that are provided. The house is laid out beautifully allowing lots space for together time for families but with the option of privacy in your own area. It would work beautifully for 5 couples...each bedroom has its own large bathroom. The kitchen is supplied with everything a serious cook could want and you can cook with a full view of the ocean! The views are nothing short of spectacular and the property is beautifully maintained. If something needs attention the owner responds promptly and takes care of any issues. We've stayed at this home on 6 different occasions. Our family loves the easy access to the gorgeous beach but they're equally happy to spend hours at the pool and on the pool deck. There are lots and lots of beach towels, wonderful furniture around the pool deck and even toys and games for those so inclined. The location in Palmetto Dunes is perfect. You are just a short walk (or drive) from the 3 Palmetto Dunes golf courses, the Marriott Hotel, biking, shopping, tennis and spa facilities. In addition you can do Savannah or Charleston as a day trip....although we never manage to tear ourselves away from this piece of paradise. We're counting the days until our return in April! Judi

Review submitted: November 20, 2008
Date of arrival: September 13, 2008
We’ve made 13 trips to HH and stayed at this house for the last 6 of them. It is “our Hilton Head house.” The previous reviewers aren’t kidding. It really should be listed as having 4 master bedrooms. And the bathrooms? My son says the shower in "his room" is bigger than our entire bathroom at home. All the rooms are very stylishly decorated. A great wide-open kitchen for those who like to have a big breakfast together before going out on the beach or going shopping. Great TV set up – wide screen in the living room where everyone can watch a movie together – smaller sets in each bedroom where you can watch alone. Great pool, jacuzzi, and grill area. When we first rented the house we missed having a covered porch on the ocean side where we could watch the ocean in all types of weather. But we’ve become accustomed to sitting out on the deck watching the sunsets from there. Just as awesome! The house is within quick driving access to both ends of the Island, which comes in handy when trying to decide which of the many restaurants you want to eat at each night! Occasionally, when we’ve needed to contact the property management company and/or the owner, they were extremely helpful and quick to resolve any problems. The only thing my parents’ would change if it was really “our house,” would be to add an elevator. Each year, the front and back steps get harder and harder for them to manage.

We loved this house and it's location in Palmetto Dunes, which we feel is the best plantation on the island. It was perfect for us with breathtaking views from the bedrooms, each with our own bathroom, too. We have been to Hilton Head numerous times and this was one of the best places we have stayed, the owners seem to have put a lot of thought into creating a perfect home for a relaxing beach vacation. The kitchen was well appointed with an open floor plan into the living room. Now for the outside,the pool area is wonderful, we were there in December so we didn't actually use the pool, but we did use the hot tub and it was so relaxing. I also love the walkway/sitting area out to the beach, it was a wonderful place to sit and watch the waves roll in. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to do so in the near future.

This was our second stay at 10 Ketch, and like I said before the online pictures don't do the home justice...it exceeded our expectations. The island itself is so beautiful and lush, it is truly a wonderful place to vacation. There are many wonderful restaurants a few minutes away, and Savannah is within an hour's drive. The home decor is very nice, and the views are like no other. It was great to be able to retreat to the bedroom suites, or congregate in the family room if we felt like it. The wireless internet is a plus. The home is stocked with many games, books and puzzles for all ages. There isn't a crib for small children, but the owners put us in contact with a rental company that brought one and set it up for us. There was good communication with the owners before, during and after the rental period. we are definitely staying here again!

The oceanfront view is still breath-taking, even after multiple visits. The huge pool is secluded from neighbors and the beach for privacy. Multiple large eating areas to accommodate large groups. The four ocean-front master bedrooms are awesome and beds are great (the fifth br is a good "kids" room). We did not feel that we had to sacrafice anything. Great location within Hilton Head as far as getting on/off island and to/from restaurants and the grocery. We've been to different beaches and different homes within HHI and always come back to 10 Ketch! The owner is very attentive and easy going. They have thought of everything: highchair, babygate, riding toys, multiple refridgerators, pool toys, etc... Pick-up the keys, groceries and enjoy!

We had a fantastic stay at 10 Ketch. Amazing location, great pool, wonderful views from the rooms, so many restaurants to choose from, very concise information folders in the house and so much information from the owners. We could find everything, use everything with ease which makes such a difference. The house has everything you would expect in a properly kitted out house. We liked it so much we will return next year (if they have us)!!

4 Master bedrooms with large baths

The thing we like most about this house is that there are really four master bedrooms, all oceanfront and all with large bathrooms, so if you have four different couples, everyone gets a really good room, no drawing straws. Also, the owner is very attentive to the upkeep of the house, so if something isn't in working order, a phone call gets it fixed right away. It's in a great location too, not too close to the hotel traffic, but not so far into Palmetto that it takes forever to run an errand. The only drawback, is if you really like a big back porch across the length of the house, there isn't one, but there is a small place for a couple of chairs, overlooking the pool, but you go down to sit by the pool, and then really can't see the ocean as well. But there are so many views from within the house, that it compensates for not having a big porch. Date below is just one, we have stayed at this same house 6 or 7 times now.

"Ketch" one great time!

Buying on line, sight unseen, can be a uneasy experience. Well, this is one time you won't have to worry. Everything you see, and read is true. From the moment you enter the Palmetto Dunes entrance it just gets better and better. The drive down Queens Folley Road is lined with beautful old Oaks, draped with Spanish Moss, and has the look of State Park. Further down a bridge splits the Robert T. Jones, and George Fazio, Championship Golf Courses. At the end you pass the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, with it's 25 courts, and make a left to the North Gate. The Security Guard checks your pass, and Salutes, as you begin down Mooring Buoy Drive, lined with beautifuly appointed, multi Million dollar homes. All this and, you haven't even arrived yet! 10 Ketch is a beautiful home that sits well in it's landscaping, and looks inviting. My Wife and I, were so excited, that we didn't even bother to unloading the Car, but ran up the Stairs to the front door like children, only to be halted by the Ocean view through the front door. The views in this home are awe inspiring, and they are every where! They are beyond the photos. They are beyond what we had wished for. Except for the childrens room, every other space has a Million Dollar Ocean view. And while we didn't think anything could compete with the views, the Decor, and Design of the house came close. It is flawless! The open floorplan flows like water. We were amazed at, even with a house full of Guests, you could still be anywhere and be alone, or anywhere and be with everyone. All of the furniture in the home is attractive and comfortable. We found the Kitchen, with it's Granite counters to be accommdating, as well as gorgeous, whether preparing a snack, or a full course meal. It also boasts a nice table for 6, for general eating, while the Dinning Room Table fits 10 comfortably. The Fireplace, and Entertainment Center offers a welcome place for you, and your guests to gather, as you enjoy the Ocean Views through the "wall of glass" that is the Ocean side of the home. All of the Bedrooms were just as nice, with every luxury that can be had to pamper you, and Million Dollar views while you enjoy it. The Pool and Jacuzzi Spa, sit in a spacious patio, that is just as private as it is inviting. We swam, and grilled, and enjoyed, untill the Beach called once again. We did have one minor problem while we stayed at the house, but with a single phone call it was taken care of in 20 min. It was a great Vacation.

Thanks for everything! We have so enjoyed our "beach home" over the years (15 visits to this house!) and have made so many wonderful memories here that we hope the children will continue to enjoy each other's company as the grow older.
