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 magnificent 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 amazing places to choose from! Our favorite dining places include, but are not limited to, One Hot Mamas, Smoke House (striking Bar-B-Que), 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 sizable 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.

Our top Rental home tips:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hilton Head area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.

• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
