This beautiful and elegant, recently renovated home offers a bright and airy layout with comfortable furnishings throughout. Every detail of the Retreat reflects a design that has the essence of Lowcountry living at its core, spots for quiet mornings on the porch, for gathering with good friends and good conversation, a kitchen designed for both meal prep and lingering over dinner, all coupled with multiple porches for true indoor outdoor living. The kitchen is fully equipped and has all new, high-end appliances, bar seating for 4, a separate dining area that seats 8, plus a separate butler's pantry/coffee bar. If you need to fit in a bit of work from home, you'll find a quiet office space on the second-floor landing. The spacious screened-in porch is perfect for relaxing the afternoon away, and the fire pit out the backdoor will lead to hours and hours of story telling under the stars.
Spacious and serene, The Retreat has two primary suites on the first floor with two additional bedrooms upstairs including en-suite bathrooms. You'll appreciate the high-end details and thoughtful design choices that make this a dream backdrop for your Palmetto Bluff getaway.
The Retreat is located within the West Wilson neighborhood and is just a short walk to all that Palmetto Bluff has to offer.

Tennis, pickle ball, basketball, croquet, bocce at Wilson Lawn & Racquet Club
Bike and Golf Cart Rental available for exploring the miles of scenic trails that wind throughout the resort

Leisurely days and so much more, await you in the exclusive community of Palmetto Bluff, located in the heart of South Carolina's Lowcountry. Nestled on the May River Estuary between Hilton Head and Savannah, this is a destination that beckons for both adventure and relaxation - all wrapped in an abundant amount of southern charm. Revel in the historic beauty and excitement of nearby Savannah, Georgia. Or, if sand and surf is part of your dream coastal South Carolina getaway, you're only minutes away from Hilton Head Island. Take in the over 20,000 acres across 21 antebellum plantations and you'll truly get lost in Palmetto Bluff's picturesque beauty, rich history and moss draped oaks.

Our dedicated concierge team is ready to help you plan your Lowcountry getaway.
We can assist you with golf cart and bicycle rentals through our local partnerships, in-home chef experiences, catered arrival meals, massages in the comfort of your home, sunset dolphin cruises, fishing excursions, local offsite restaurant and activity reservations and recommendations, and much more.

Great property - Amenities at Palmetto a huge disappointment
This property was lovely - extremely well appointed and cared for. However, the change in policy by the hotel and the owner's group is ridiculous. We were grandfathered in regarding use of the pool since we made our reservations early but beware - if you did n to make reservations by April you will not be able to do much including having a pool for your use. We were not able to make appointments at the spa, reservations at any of the restaurants on the property and Buffalos was closed for repairs. Access changed on a daily basis and the property managers were not completely up to speed as to what we could and could not do. All they could do was apologize which was not helpful. Palmetto is a lovely place but the Montage management is taking a very short sighted view. We will not be returning (we have been vacationing at Palmetto for 5 years). If you have reservations for between now and the end of the summer, I would suggest that you question the management in depth or call the various amenities yourself to see what you can (and mostly cannot) do on this property. Greatly disappointed and a shame for the homeowners choosing to rent through VRBO.

Can't Wait to Go Back
This property was absolutely perfect for our family. vacation in every way. The home was beautifully appointed and included everything we needed for the week. The location in Palmetto Bluff was ideal for access to the bike trails, pools, restaurants, and golf. The entire family loved the stay and cannot wait to return next year.

Beautiful, comfortable home
There were four of us on a golf trip, and we really enjoyed the house, the neighborhood, and everything about the process. (The sheets and pillows were more comfortable than the ones I have at home!). Highly recommended.

Lovely house, amazing location
8 Rockingham is a beautiful house in an amazing location in Palmetto Bluff. We stayed for 2 weeks and were really happy there. The house is equipped with everything you need for cooking and has a great coffee maker. Bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms/showers are big and new. Beds were comfortable. Jeff and Annette were very helpful and available when we needed them. The fire pit in the backyard was fun in the evenings. We would have liked to have an outdoor grill and working fireplace, but other than that everything was pretty much perfect. I would definitely stay there again if we went back to Palmetto Bluff.
