The plantation is surrounded by some of the best golf courses in the world, miles of paved cycling paths with palm trees and oak trees covered in Spanish moss, professional tennis courts and pretty sunny beaches.

Professionally decorated with new furnishings and fresh paint, this villa is one you’ll just have to see to believe! Recently added more modern lighting throughout first floor and a new 65-inch TV in living room!!

Our two bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse offers all the amenities of home. We have a completely supplied kitchen for cooking. There is a modest breakfast nook AND a nice dining area for plenty of seating. There are two enormous bedrooms with a King bed in EACH room. Both bedrooms have their own private baths, TV, and private balcony.

A roomy living room connected to the dining area provides an open concept floor plan for our guests to relax. There is a brand-new queen-size pullout couch bed for added sleeping area. There is also a sizable, upsized, back deck that comfortably seats 6. The covered deck also offers a striking view of the pool supplied for Tennis Master guests only. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the outdoor vistas from all angles.

Between the BEACHES. golf, WATER SPORTS, shopping, tennis and cycling I think it is safe to say there is really something for everybody's vacation enjoyment, which is why Hilton Head Island is so special and well worth the visit. Once you visit Hilton Head Island, you'll understand why so many people choose to vacation here year after year.


One of the trendy attractions in the Shipyard Plantation is the nationally acclaimed Van Der Meer Tennis Center where guests can take tennis lessons daily from tennis professionals and pros. Check out the Van Der Meer official tennis website for more details. You will be very impressed with the quality of their tennis courts and the wide variety of tennis lessons/clinics available for all ability levels.

While tennis is certainly fashionable here on the island, most people would agree that GOLFING is one of the most popular leisure activities. HHI offers some of the most pristine public and private golf courses in the country that attract many visitors, including celebrities.

Home to 26 championship GOLF courses, designed by golf architects like Robert Trent Jones Sr., Pete Dye, and Jack Nicklaus; it's no surprise that HHI has been voted as one of the Top-10 golf destinations in the world (according to Golf Digest). In fact, the island is a PGA TOUR event destination, as well as the host of the annual RBC Heritage Classic in the spring.

Hilton Head Island has GOLF courses for ALL ability levels, including oceanfront courses, as well as traditional parkland courses. One handsome golf course is so close, it is just across the street from our townhome.

In addition to excellent golf and tennis don't forget to check out the many different types of outdoor WATER SPORTS available in Hilton Head. There is a wide variety of things to choose from including kayaking with dolphins, jet skiing, sailing, and deep-sea fishing. There really is something for everybody!

Special Beach Note: Sea Turtle Patrol monitors Hilton Head Island beaches for SEA TURTLE nesting and hatching activity annually, May through October, to promote the existence of these endangered species and to spread awareness of their struggle through public education and outreach. With careful planning and patience, you may be blessed to witness a hatchling racing to the ocean water using a special red flashlight. Our kids were amazed when they witnessed this on the Hilton Head Island beach at nighttime.

SHOPPING divas don't despair! There is plenty of shopping to appreciate on the island also. One of the most popular shopping destinations on the island is the Coligny Shopping Plaza located close to the beach with many original stores and stores to choose from. If you are more of a bargain shopper, check out the Tanger Outlet Mall just a short drive to the 'main' land (about 20 mins. away from Shipyard). Amazing deals on brand name items and a great variety of stores to choose from makes this a nice shopping destination. Lastly, checkout Harbor Town by the light home for more unique shopping choices located near the lighthouse and in a boat marina setting.

If FOOD is your passion, there are many phenomenal places to choose from! Our favorite dining places include, but are not limited to, One Hot Mamas, Smoke House (charming BBQ), Salty Dog Cafe (by the water), Skull Creek Boat House (with beautiful outdoor dining along the water) and Aunt Chilada's with authentic Mexican food. If you savor an outdoor beer garden check out the new addition called, The Bank, where you can make beer "withdrawals", eat yummy food and watch huge outdoor screens for sports, etc. There are various food trucks and even ice cream for the young at heart visitors to enjoy. Last, but not least, don't forget that since we are on an island, there is plenty of fresh seafood options available. We recommend the Carolina Crab Company and The Wreck restaurant over by the Salty Dog shopping area.

HHI is a NATURE LOVERS heaven full of interesting greenery and a multitude of wildlife (turtles, alligators, squirrels, deer, herons, crabs and many others). This may explain why one of the most popular past times on the island is bicycle riding. Guests come from all over the country to enjoy the MILES OF SCENIC BIKE PATHS that wind along lagoons, golf courses, and other popular outdoor locations such as Harbor Town. We highly recommend taking some time to go cycling and discover all of the beauty that Hilton Head has to offer. Who knows, you may even get lucky and see some alligators basking in the sun along the bank of a lagoon. :) Throughout our stay we typically bicycle ride to eateries and visit the beach daily.


SPECIAL Note:
Attentive owners make continuous updates including new king beds, new living room furnishings, and fresh paint in January 2024. As a result, our townhouse villa has been booked full throughout the years since we purchased it in 2014 with many repeat renters.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of SC. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Hilton Head area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Townhouse in gated community... close to beaches, golf courses, & tennis courts has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If not, reach out to the host before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is best for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a specific Hilton Head attraction you are enamored with, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Record any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
