Great place for our family! Very clean, well decorated and everything we needed. From the great coffee bar to the extra beach towels & chairs. We enjoyed walking to Sands beach each evening. As well as GiGi's Restaurant within walking which proved to have a good outdoor area for the kids. Would definitely return to Palmetto Moon if in the area again. Great location near historic Beaufort for local shopping.
