Perfect House!
This property was perfect for our family which had 10 of us. So spacious!! The location to the beach was awesome! Literally a 2-3 minute walk. The pool was awesome and was a great hangout for the teens in the evening as they watched various games on the flatscreen in the pool house along with the pool table area! The kitchen and dining areas were used every night to gather and play games and just sit around and talk. Check in was a breeze with door codes emailed. I highly recommend this property!!

Everything We Needed!
This property exceeded our expectations. The proximity the beach was amazing, just a 3 minute walk allowed us to easily see the sunrise, and while we were there, the full moon rise. The property was well-stocked with all the pots, pans, bowls, dishes, etc. we found everything we were looking for. Even plastic dishes for my 2 year old daughter. The property was clean, the pool house with the Bluetooth speakers was an extra bonus. Highly recommend this property, would stay again!

Great family vacation at the beach!
The home was beautiful and very spacious. The pool and the proximity to the beach was a big hit with everyone! We had a few issues with the elevator and the air conditioning but they were addressed quickly by the management company. Our only complaint was in the kitchen… the stovetop needed some instructions and more silverware was needed.

Loco for Coco’s
The home was absolutely awesome. We had nine in our party (3 kids) and there was plenty of room for everyone. Spent many hours in the heated pool with the cabana being a big plus! A short walk everyday to the beach made this a perfect location. We also loved Coco’s being so close. Highly recommend this home for your next HH vacation!!

Great House
The house was fantastic. Plenty of room for the 6 adults and 6 kids under 7! Proximity to the beach was fantastic and made bringing everything to/from the beach a breeze. The pool deck and pool house was great and the outdoor tv was a definite perk! Already considering renting this house again next summer.

Perfect for Extended Family
This property was amazing and perfect for our extended family. Each couple enjoyed their own bedroom and bath with plenty of room for kids ages 9-19. We were steps away from the gorgeous beach and ocean, which we enjoyed most days. The pool and deck area were perfect with enough room for everyone to swim or hangout. The cabana was so convenient for having snacks and dinner by the pool as well as refrigerator and bathroom accommodations close by. We also used many of the other amenities, such as the bicycles, pool table, Bluetooth speakers, etc. Highly recommend this property.

Awesome beach get away!
This was the ideal house for our group. We went with my son and 4 of his friends. The pool and the cabana along with the close proximity to the beach were ideal. The entertaining areas were separated from the main floor and deck so the kids could be in the pool or in the room off of the pool playing games/watching movies and we could have space to ourselves. The main area and the kitchen/dining room was large enough for all of us when we did have time together.

The house is great. Climbing the circular staircase kept my exercise regimen in order, but, do not be alarmed. There is an elevator. The pool area was fabulous. The decks were great. We hope to stay there again.

Fantastic property - will be back!
Great location and beautiful home. We had 5 adults and 9 kids and comfortably fit in the house. As a bit of a change of scenery trip given I have been working from home for 8 months, the home office was great and I was able to work while the kids did online school. Then afternoons and evenings we enjoyed the pool and Beach. The pool is amazing and the kids loved it. My teenager said this trip saved 2020 for him. Thank you!

Beach Renourishment +

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS provided by the TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND

The Town of Hilton Head Island's 2026 Beach Renourishment Project began on August 6, 2025 at Fish Haul Beach, located off Mitchelville Road on the Island's north end. This vital initiative, part of the Town's long-term beach management program, is undertaken every 8 to 10 years and aims to preserve, protect, and restore Hilton Head's valuable shoreline.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The 2026 renourishment will mirror past efforts (1990, 1997, 2006, 2016) and involves placing approximately 2.2 million cubic yards of beach-compatible sand across 46,500 feet of Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline. Sand will be dredged from offshore shoals and pumped through extensive pipeline systems onto designated beach areas, then shaped by heavy machinery to meet specific design standards.

CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE

The $47.5 million project is divided into three phases, with work expected to last until May 2026:

Phase I:

  • Complete - Contractor mobilizes in August 2025
  • Complete - Weeks of August 13, 2025 thru September 12, 2025 - Fish Haul area
  • Complete - Weeks of September 18, 2025 thru October 10, 2025 - Pine Island
  • Complete - Weeks of October 11, 2025 thru October 17, 2025 - Port Royal (The Heel)

Phase II:

  • Weeks of December 11, 2025 thru March 28, 2026 - Central Island, including beach areas along Palmetto Dunes
  • Weeks of March 28, 2026 thru May 31, 2026 - South Island and South Beach areas.

Phase III:

  • Weeks of November 1, 2025 thru April 30, 2026 - Pine Island Breakwater Structures
TEMPORARY CLOSURES AND COMMUNITY IMPACT

During the renourishment, about 1,000-foot beach segments will be temporarily closed, with beachgoers directed around active work zones via ramps and signage. Construction is expected to proceed 24/7, moving at a pace of 200-300 feet per day, with minor disruptions lasting just a few days for any specific beachfront property

SAND PLACEMENT LOCATIONS:

The proposed project will include sand placement along five areas of the island shoreline:

  • Fish Haul Creek — 2,130 feet
  • Pine Island — 5,280 feet
  • Port Royal / The Heel — 5,280 feet
  • Central Island (including Palmetto Dunes) — 28,860 feet
  • South Beach / South Island — 10,230 feet
WILDLIFE PROTECTIONS

The project includes safeguards for endangered species. Activities are monitored by consultants to protect sea turtles and migratory shorebirds. Per U.S. Army Corps and USFWS permit conditions, dog activity is restricted in a small area adjacent to Fish Haul Creek Beach Park. All other beaches remain under normal seasonal pet access rules.

FUNDING AND MANAGEMENT

The project includes safeguards for endangered species. Activities are monitored by consultants to protect sea turtles and migratory shorebirds. Per U.S. Army Corps and USFWS permit conditions, dog activity is restricted in a small area adjacent to Fish Haul Creek Beach Park. All other beaches remain under normal seasonal pet access rules.

IMPACTS ON RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
  • Construction noise will primarily involve bulldozers shaping the sand as it is deposited.
  • Disruptions at individual properties generally last about three or four days as the renourishment operation progresses.
  • Adjacent property owners, or renters, may experience short-term minor inconveniences.
PROJECT BENEFITS

Preserving Hilton Head Island's beaches supports the local environment, economy, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike.

The project is sponsored and funded by the Town of Hilton Head Island and engineered by is Olsen Associates, Inc.
