Great Time
We had a great time at this beautiful home! There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own spaces. The pool area is my favorite - it’s very spacious, and also very private. A cup of coffee with a book on the wrap-around deck is the best way to start the day. Can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous Beach Week
This is a beautiful home and offers ample space for multiple couples to families to come together for a great vacation. The large kitchen with the L-shaped counter is perfect for visiting over drinks, snacks, or dinner. We found the kitchen to be very well stocked. The bedrooms are large, and the beds provide a good night's sleep. Each bedroom is equipped with plenty of sitting space as well which can supply those introverts with an escape from the crowds. We spent our afternoon and evenings around the pool and spa. The owner provided plenty of seating for lounging around the pool as well as pool toys for the swimmers. Even though the beach is a short walk, there is a wagon to assist with hauling chairs and coolers. I loved how there was space to sit without crowding others on the beach. The dolphins came through each day playing and jumping out of the water! For those active adults and children, there is ample opportunity for walking, biking, and golfing. Plenty of nearby restaurants offer great menus, but we ended up cooking most nights. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wishing to relax.

Take your turn at 2 Royal Tern!
This beach house is amazing! It is spacious and packed with every amenity. We enjoyed lounging by the gorgeous pool. I also liked going out in the morning to have my coffee on the secluded back porch. So peaceful! The rooms were huge and more than enough to accommodate our large group. I was so excited that there were hairdryers in every bathroom! What a nice touch! The kids loved hanging together in the upstairs sitting area. We enjoyed the huge dining room table where our group could gather to eat and play card games. And most importantly, you can’t beat how close the house is to the beach!

Great location! Great house!
We were so happy with our stay here! The house is large enough that everyone had their own space, even with a large group. The backyard/pool area is beautiful and private. And the walk to the beach was so close. We will definitely be coming back to this house!

2025 Beach Renourishment +

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

Hilton Head Island's beach is crucial to both residents and the local economy. To preserve this valuable resource, the Town has planned a beach restoration project for Summer 2025, funded primarily by tourism through the local Beach Preservation Fee.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
  • The 2025 beach renourishment is expected to be similar to the previous projects in 1990, 1997, 2006 and 2016.
  • The proposed project will include the placement of approximately 2.2 million cubic yards of beach compatible sand from up to four offshore borrow areas along about 46,500 ft of Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  • This project is part of the Town's ongoing beach management program, with renourishment scheduled every 8 to 10 years, depending on weather and beach conditions.
  • Pine Island in Hilton Head Plantation will be included in the 2025 restoration. 
SAND PLACEMENT

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

  1. South Beach / South Island - Approximately 750,000 cubic yards of sand along approximately 10,230 feet of the southern Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  2. Central Island - Approximately 700,000 cubic yards along 28,860 feet of Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  3. The Heel - Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sand along 5,280 feet at the northeast point of the island at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  4. Fish Haul Creek - Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand along about 2,130 feet of Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  5. Pine Island - Approximately 180,000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand and construction of six rock breakwaters on the Port Royal Sound shoreline of Hilton Head Plantation between Dolphin Head and Pine Island.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

The nourishment sand will be excavated by hydraulic dredge from two offshore shoal features.

  • Up to 50,000 feet of pipeline will be trucked or floated to the island by way of large rafts, then moved onto the beach.
  • The pipeline will be piled in stacks along the shoreline until needed during construction.
  • During construction, many miles of pipeline will be submerged on the ocean floor between the offshore borrow sites and the beach.
  • The rest of the pipeline will be laid progressively along the newly constructed beach as the fill sand is pumped on shore.

The dredge will pump a mixture of sand and seawater through the pipeline, and will discharge it onto the beach.

  • There, it will flow parallel to the shoreline - allowing the sand to settle out and the water to return to the sea.
  • Bulldozers and other heavy construction machinery will constantly shape the sand to meet the design specifications.

Project construction is expected to last approximately six months, operating around the clock.

  • On average, the process should move along the shoreline at a rate of about 200 to 300 feet per day.
  • As the fill placement progresses, approximately 1,000 foot sections of the beach are closed temporarily to pedestrian access.
  • Several days of work activity will occur seaward of any one piece of oceanfront property in the 1,000 foot active work area along the beach.
  • Once placed and rough-graded, the new beach is immediately reopened to the public.
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.
