The Villas at Sand Hollow Condos for Sale in Hurricane, Utah
The Villas at Sand Hollow is the condominium nightly rental community inside Sand Hollow Resort. The newest listings are featured at the top of the page. These are condos in multi-story buildings, not single-family homes, and they are permanently zoned for short-term vacation rentals. That last detail is the entire reason this community exists and the entire reason serious vacation rental investors keep buying here.
The buildings sit just off Sand Hollow Resort Parkway, with the championship Sand Hollow Golf Course, the resort clubhouse, and the community pools all within a short walk. Sand Hollow Reservoir, the sand dunes, and Zion National Park are all minutes to less than an hour away. The Villas are part of the broader Sand Hollow Resort amenity package, but they are a fundamentally different real estate product than the single-family homes in The Retreat at Sand Hollow Resort or the main Sand Hollow Resort neighborhood.

The Permanently Zoned Vacation Rental Status
This is the part of The Villas that you need to understand before you buy. Hurricane has restrictive short-term rental rules across most of the city, and even within Sand Hollow Resort itself, certain sub-communities (like The Retreat at Sand Hollow Resort) have HOA-imposed caps on the number of homes that can actually operate as nightly rentals.
The Villas are different. According to one recent listing, the Villas are permanently zoned as vacation rentals, with no concern about losing rental status. That permanence is the entire investment thesis. You are buying a property where the right to operate as a short-term rental is built into the zoning, not subject to an HOA cap or waiting list. For investors building a STR portfolio in Southern Utah, that distinction is the difference between a property that generates income from day one and a property where the income depends on circumstances you cannot fully control.
This is also why The Villas are the right answer for some buyers and the wrong answer for others. If you want to actually live in Sand Hollow full-time without the resort feeling like a hotel, the single-family options in Sand Hollow Resort or the established Sky Mountain Golf Estates community will suit you better. If you want a property that generates rental income with reliable zoning protection, The Villas is built for that.
The Dual-Key Lock-Off Configuration
Most Villas units are 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom configurations between 1,529 and 1,620 square feet. But the floor plans are smarter than that summary suggests. Many units are designed as dual-key lock-off layouts, which means:
- Two private bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom, balcony, and direct exterior entrance
- A shared kitchen, dining, and living area in the middle that can be opened to both suites or closed off
- Sound-deadening doors between the suites and the great room for privacy between unrelated parties
- Independent thermostats for each suite
This lets owners rent the unit three different ways depending on demand and pricing:
- As one full 2-bedroom condo for a family or group
- As two completely separate income-producing 1-bedroom units rented to different parties at the same time
- As a 1-bedroom unit with the living space, with the other suite locked off for personal use or held back
For investors, this flexibility is the layout they actively look for and rarely find. Two income streams under one roof, with the ability to scale up or down based on the season and the booking market.
The Resort Amenities
The Villas are part of the broader Sand Hollow Resort amenity package, which means owners and renters get access to:
- Three community pools
- Two hot tubs
- Fitness center
- Pickleball and sand volleyball courts
- Fire pits and outdoor gathering spaces
- The elevated clubhouse with panoramic resort views
- The Grille for on-site dining
- Discounted greens fees at the Sand Hollow Championship Golf Course
- Rock Bowl outdoor concert venue for live music events
- Year-round community events
For nightly rental guests, this is a complete resort experience. For owners, the amenities are a real value driver because they are part of what justifies the nightly rate that the units actually achieve.
Price Range and What You Get
Recent activity at The Villas:
- $335K active for a 1,620 sqft dual-key unit on the first floor of Building 6 with pool access directly off the patio.
- $349K active for a 1,602 sqft 2-bedroom in Building 6.
- $365K to $385K active for 1,602 to 1,620 sqft units with various configurations including dual-key lock-offs and second-floor units with golf and reservoir views.
- $375K closed and active for various 1,529 to 1,620 sqft units across multiple buildings.
- $384K to $400K closed for 1,529 to 1,602 sqft units with rental history.
- $430K active for a top-floor third-level golf-side unit with dual-key lock-off flexibility.
- $470K closed for a 3-bedroom 3-bath unit (the larger configuration).
- $479K active for a top-floor end unit in Building 7 with the best views in the project.
Per square foot is running $207 to $310 depending on building, floor level, view orientation, and configuration. Top-floor units with golf and Pine Valley Mountain views command real premiums over interior or first-floor units of similar square footage.
For comparison, single-family homes in The Retreat at Sand Hollow Resort run $460K to $890K, and the main Sand Hollow Resort community pushes higher still. The Villas offer the same resort amenity access and the same general location at a significantly lower entry point, but as condos rather than houses.
The HOA Reality
HOA dues at The Villas run $450 to $495 per month, which is meaningfully higher than the single-family options in the broader area. The dues cover all building exterior maintenance, common area landscaping, the three pools, two hot tubs, fitness center, sports courts, clubhouse access, and the broader resort amenity package.
For investors running these units as nightly rentals, the HOA is generally absorbed by the rental income and treated as an operating expense. For buyers considering a Villas unit as a primary residence, the price-to-HOA ratio is high and the product profile (small condo, no private garage, no land) is not really built for full-time living. Verify the current dues and what they include on any specific unit before assuming.
Who Actually Buys at The Villas
The buyer profile at The Villas is narrower than at most Hurricane subdivisions:
- Vacation rental investors building a Southern Utah STR portfolio, often with multiple units
- 1031 exchange buyers reinvesting proceeds from other real estate sales
- Second-home owners who want occasional personal use plus rental income to offset carrying costs
- Buyers who want resort access without the responsibility of a yard or a single-family home
The Villas are not generally a good fit for buyers shopping for a primary residence, families with kids who need school zoning continuity, or anyone who wants a private garage and a yard. For those buyers, the single-family options elsewhere in Hurricane are the right place to look. The broader vacation rental homes pillar and the condos and townhomes pillar cover the regional alternatives.
Schools
Villas units are split across Hurricane Elementary, Three Falls Elementary, and Coral Canyon Elementary depending on the specific building and lot. Hurricane Intermediate, Hurricane Middle, and Hurricane High serve the entire community. Since most Villas owners are investors or second-home buyers rather than families with children, school zoning is rarely the deciding factor, but the information is on the listing for buyers who care.
How The Villas Compare to Other Sand Hollow Options
Here is how I sort The Villas against the alternatives:
- The Retreat at Sand Hollow Resort offers single-family homes in the $460K to $890K range with the same general amenity package, but with HOA-imposed caps on nightly rentals that mean not every home is approved for STR use. The Villas offer guaranteed STR zoning at lower entry prices but as condos rather than houses.
- Sand Hollow Resort main community offers larger single-family homes typically used as primary or second-home residences at significantly higher price points with different rental rules.
- Tava Resort is the newer luxury resort community nearby with its own rental policies, much higher price points, and a different aesthetic.
- The Villas at Sand Hollow sit as the dedicated condominium nightly rental product with the most reliable STR zoning, the dual-key flexibility, and the lowest entry price for resort-zoned vacation rental real estate in the corridor.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Villas at Sand Hollow
Are short-term rentals allowed at The Villas at Sand Hollow?
Yes. The Villas are permanently zoned as vacation rentals, with no HOA cap or waiting list restrictions noted in recent listings. This is the primary reason the community exists and the primary reason investors buy here. Verify the current zoning status and any building-specific rules on any specific unit before assuming, but the general structure is built around short-term rental use.
How much is the HOA?
Dues run $450 to $495 per month depending on the building and unit. The HOA covers building exterior maintenance, common area landscaping, three pools, two hot tubs, fitness center, pickleball and volleyball courts, clubhouse access, and the broader Sand Hollow Resort amenity package.
What does a Villas unit actually cost?
Recent activity ranges from $335K for first-floor units up to $479K for top-floor units with the best views and dual-key lock-off configurations. The middle of the market sits around $375K to $400K for standard 2-bedroom units.
What is a dual-key or lock-off condo?
It is a floor plan where two private bedroom suites each have their own bathroom, balcony, and direct exterior entrance, with a shared kitchen and living area in the middle that can be opened or closed off. The unit can be rented as one 2-bedroom condo, as two separate 1-bedroom units to different parties simultaneously, or as a 1-bedroom with the other suite locked off. The flexibility maximizes rental income.
Are the Villas a good full-time residence?
Generally no. The units are 1,529 to 1,620 sqft condos with no private garage, high HOA dues, and a building configuration designed for vacation use. Some owners do live full-time at The Villas, but the product is really built for second-home and investment use. For a Hurricane primary residence, the single-family options across the city are usually a better fit.
Do Villas units come furnished?
Almost all do. Most listings reference fully furnished and turnkey condition, with linens, kitchen equipment, art, and appliances included. For investor buyers, this means you can start renting immediately without putting tens of thousands of dollars into furnishing the unit.
How are the Villas different from The Retreat at Sand Hollow Resort?
The Villas are condos in multi-story buildings, permanently zoned for nightly rentals, with HOA dues of $450 to $495 per month. The Retreat is single-family homes on small lots, with HOA-imposed caps on nightly rental use that mean not every home can actually operate as a STR, with HOA dues of $219 to $239 per month. Different products, different price points, different rental certainty.
Is seller financing available?
Some sellers are offering seller financing as a negotiable option on specific Villas units. Terms vary by seller. Ask about the specific unit you are considering before assuming financing is available.
Working With Lance on a Villas Purchase or Sale
If you are buying at The Villas, the work happens around rental history and unit configuration. A unit with a strong booking history and a dual-key lock-off layout in a top-floor view position will perform very differently than a first-floor interior unit with limited rental history. I can help you pull the data, evaluate the actual income potential, and figure out whether the asking price reflects the unit's real cash flow.
If you already own at The Villas, comping your unit requires more nuance than averaging the building. Building, floor level, view orientation, dual-key versus single-occupancy configuration, and recent rental performance all move the price. I can put together a real comp set that reflects what your specific unit will sell for in today's market.
