The Estate

A Hilton Head Rental With a Private Pool and Sun Deck

The private pool anchors the estate's outdoor living: a sun deck for the afternoons, a covered lanai for the shade, and an under-house entertaining area with TVs for the whole group. It is where the trip actually happens.

Yours Alone

The Pool That Belongs to Your Group Alone

This is a Hilton Head rental with a private pool, and the word that matters is private. The pool sits on a travertine sun deck ringed with loungers under the pines, and because the estate books as a whole property, it belongs to your group alone for the length of the stay. No shared resort deck, no fighting for a chair, no strangers at the next table. An arched covered lanai frames the pool with the lagoon beyond, giving you shade a few steps from the water when the afternoon sun gets high.

The pool is the part of the estate guests name most often as their favorite. It is the center of gravity for the whole trip: coffee near the water in the morning, long afternoons in the pool, and dinner and drinks around it once the heat lets up. One family who stayed here named the pool and the under-house entertaining area as the parts of the estate they loved best.

The pool and lanai were photographed in both the September 2025 shoot and the April 2026 re-shoot. The travertine deck, the loungers, and the arched lanai in the gallery are the actual outdoor spaces.

Sun and Shade

Sun, Shade, and a Room Under the House

The outdoor living stretches across three settings, so the group is never forced to choose between sun and shade. The travertine sun deck holds the loungers and the open water for the swimmers and sunbathers. The covered lanai gives you a shaded seat right at the pool’s edge for anyone who has had enough sun. And beneath the house, an under-house entertaining area with TVs and its own seating handles the happy hours, the game watching, and the afternoons out of the heat. Down at the water, Adirondack chairs and a fire table make the morning-coffee-by-the-lagoon and evening-fire scenes that show up in real guest reviews.

That range is what makes the pool work for a group of up to 18. The kids stay in the water, the grandparents take the shade, and the crowd that wants the ballgame heads under the house, all within sight of each other. Nobody has to leave the property to find their spot.

Days and Evenings

Family Days and Retreat Evenings

For a family stay, the pool is the trip. It is where the reunion actually happens: pool afternoons that run for hours, the little ones learning to swim while the grandparents watch from the lanai, and the whole group drifting back to the water after dinner. For a milestone weekend, the pool and the under-house entertaining area become the private backdrop for the celebration, with no banquet hall and no other guests. See how that plays out on the milestone celebration page.

For a corporate retreat, the pool deck is where the day comes down off the working sessions. A team that spent the morning at the dining-table boardroom moves to the pool and the fire table for the evening, and the loosest, most useful conversations happen there. It is exclusive to your group either way, so the deck is a private extension of the house rather than a shared amenity you have to schedule around.

  • Family days: hours in the pool, shade on the lanai, evenings at the fire table
  • Milestone weekends: a private pool backdrop for the whole celebration
  • Corporate retreats: the deck where the team unwinds after the working sessions

The pool is the reunion for a family and the reset for a team.

The Outdoor Heart

The Outdoor Heart of the House

The pool sits at the center of the estate’s outdoor living, and the doors from the great room and the chef’s kitchen open right onto it, so the cook stays in the conversation and the group flows from dinner to the deck without a break. When the sun finally drops, the indoor entertainment floor with the game room, the golf simulator, and the home theater picks up the evening a few steps inside.

Pool FAQ

The Private Pool, Answered

Does the Hilton Head estate have a private pool?
Yes. 25 Starboard Tack, the Palmetto Dunes estate marketed as Low Country Luxury, has a private pool on a travertine sun deck, plus a covered lanai and an under-house entertaining area with TVs. The estate rents as a whole property, so the pool is your group’s alone.
Is the pool shared with other guests or the resort?
No. Every booking is the entire estate, so the pool, the sun deck, and the outdoor spaces belong to your group for the length of the stay. There is no shared resort pool deck involved.
What is around the pool?
A travertine sun deck with loungers under the pines, an arched covered lanai for shade at the water’s edge, and an under-house entertaining area with TVs and seating. Down at the lagoon, Adirondack chairs and a fire table round out the grounds.
Is the pool good for kids and grandparents together?
Yes. The layout gives swimmers the open pool, gives grandparents shaded seating on the lanai a few steps away, and gives everyone the fire table in the evening, so all ages share the same space without crowding.
