#4203 Renovated/1BR/2BA/Direct Ocean Views/Sofa Bd
We highly recommend this Airbnb hosted by Keith! Cannot say one negative thing ! Keith was responsive within minutes, so helpful. Condo had EVERYTHING we could possibly need or want. Great location, so peaceful, close to beach. Would DEFINITELY stay again!

Ocean front condo with amazing ocean view!
David's place was in a fantastic location at Seaside Villas. Located a minute away from the beach and a 7 minute walk from Coligany Plaza with great local restaurants. David was very responsive and was a great host. He had great accessories for the beach like a wagon and coolers which were super helpful to bring all the stuff you need to the beach. Bed was comfortable but you do to use his fan to get the A/C to flow into the room if it warm. It still was comfortable. stuff was a little outdated, the proximity to the beach, the plaza and the comfort of the condo made up for it. Thanks for a great stay!

5 Star Location! Pool, Walk to Shops/Dining
We had the best time on HHI at Christina’s condo. My husband & I took our one year old on her first beach vacation and there was plenty of space! We loved the convenience of the location as well as the patio for our morning coffee. We utilized the trolley in the Sea Pines area which conveniently stops at the condo to get to the beach! We would go back in a heartbeat.

Cozy Coastal Chic - Beach, Pickleball, Golf, Pets
We have stayed in the Queens Grant neighborhood for the past few Memorial Days and never been disappointed. Patricia’s place was as described! One of the more spacious units we’ve stayed in with a very comfortable living area. Access to the beach on the shuttle is a great option. The full size beds could use updating but our kids didn’t complain :) Thanks for a great stay!

Seaside Villa 376 - Spectacular Ocean Views
Very happy with the condo. As is accurate. Clean. Great view. Exactly what we were looking for.

Modern Beach Escape | Private Pool~Steps to Beach
The host was fabulous and attentive throughout the booking and our stay. The home was impeccable, conveniently located and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and leisurely beach vacay!

Marriott Sunset Pointe - 2BD
This place is very well maintained, I feel very safe to stay there. Inside is very clean and homely. I enjoyed my stay. The only thing is: when we check out, the front desk girl has very unfriendly attitude and act like that she does not want to see me. After few minutes of putting up with this,I told her: “ can you be more pleasant?”. Then she said : “ I cannot hear you”. I do not understand why this is happening, maybe because I am Asian? All the guests in lobby having breakfast are white. My English is fluent and people have no trouble to understand me,FYI. The front desk girl who has bad attitude towards me is Mexican, maybe she does not like to see Asian? I really don’t understand, but I did not do anything wrong to deserve this kind of treatment. There is a man working on the raffle desk told me : “Welcome staying with us”. I said : “Thank you so much, you are very pleasant!”Then I told him what happened to me. Hopefully this will not happen to other people in future again!!!

Ocean view villa south end with resort amenities
My wife and I had an amazing time at Jason’s place. Having access to the Hilton’s amenities, pools, and restaurants was a game changer! We will be back, HHI!
Private vacation rentals in Hilton Head Island

180º Ocean Views, Treehouse "Siren's Lookout"
We loved the private and clean treehouse with an incredible view. It’s extremely close to the hustle and bustle of Harbour Town but you would never know it. The host was extremely accommodating. We look forward to returning!

Oceanfront Villa with pool
Matthew and I had an amazing stay here! The location was beautiful by being right on the ocean. We just loved the cozy clean feel of the place. We would totally choose to stay here in the future.

Beach Front Resort - Ocean View King Bed
Place was great for a weekend get away. Only problem we had was the tv in the bedroom stopped working and Carolyn responded super fast to my message. Had a great time here!

Coastal Couples Retreat near Coligny+Bikes-#131
I loved the place! Everything from checking in to checking out was so easy thanks to Erin. The walk to the beach was super quick and nice which is what we loved the most! Highly recommend booking this place

Best sunrise on HHI!
This was our first stay at an Airbnb. The Villa was comfortable and had a retro beach vibe. The place was very neat and clean upon arrival. It was a great choice for myself and my husband to kick off my retirement. Amazing beach views!

120 Club Course @ Sea Pines | Lagoon View | Pool
We absolutely LOVED this Airbnb! It was the cleanest, nicest home we have ever stayed in and truly felt like a resort or hotel. They leave you a basket of goodies like snacks and coffee. They fold the towels so nicely in a resort way. The pool was absolutely beautiful and the golf course it is on is beautiful as well. We spent a lot of time in the sunroom watching movies each night and relaxing. It’s also very nice that it is in Sea Pines so you do not have to pay the daily fee to go to Harbour town. Perfect location and so close to so many restaurants! Will 100% book again. The beds and bathrooms were beautiful and comfy and the bathtub is so relaxing and nice! The only thing I will say is careful of the showers since they have no doors the water does get everywhere and you can wipe it up but when you’re 7 months pregnant the floors get pretty slippery.

Direct Oceanfront~Pool+Tiki Bar + 1 Min Walk Beach
Terri’s condominium was exactly as they described and perfect for two wanting to have a relaxing and beautiful time in Hilton Head…fantastic beach views…super easy access to everything. Quite in the evenings and comfy accommodations. Highly recommended if you and your S.O. are looking for a beautiful place to just relax and enjoy the area. Great Hosts and super responsive.

Palmetto Dunes Luxury Oceanfront Gem w/ View -King
Great place and awesome view. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful home with pond view and free Golf Cart!
Amazing neighborhood only a few blocks from Old Town Bluffton, one of my favorite areas to walk around :) Close enough to go for a run and see everything, if you are into that. Very convenient parking with a large living area and a giant TV for any downtime you might have. Overall, a great stay and would absolutely visit again!

Bluffton Farm Cottage: Come for Summer Vacation
We were in South Carolina for the first time for a wedding and couldn’t have picked a more perfect rental. The home was beautiful, the location was ideal, and the host was so accommodating and responsive. I only wish we had more time there so we could have enjoyed the back patio! We can’t wait to come back.

Private Beach Access-Pet Friendly-Hot Tub!
Nice, peaceful location. Close to the beach, hospitality and restaurants. Victor was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely return and highly recommend this place!

New Resort-Style Pool, Cute House 88 Steps to Sand
Our family of 5 stayed at Rick’s place for a week for spring break and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was easy walking to the beach, very fun to play in the heated pool, biking to Coligny for food, playground. We did a cookout one night in the cabana by the pool. The kids loved the bunk bed. The easy indoor/outdoor living was a delight. The TVs and remotes worked great. I enjoyed going on runs in the morning on the beach or on the biking/walking trail across the street from the house. The house had everything we could want like a stool for our 3 year old to use the bathroom sink to plenty of pool toys, beach toys, chairs, beach wagon, etc. The house also came with a pass to Sea Pines which was an unexpected treat!

We loved our stay at Marina's beach hut. We walked to the beach morning and evening and views on the beach were beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. Had plenty of space for our family to either be together or spread out in the house space. House was well stocked with beach and home supplies. Loved having space for our car in the garage. Master bath shower was luxurious! Neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Loved the keyless entry system!

Old Town Bluffton Cottage + FREE Golf Cart!
What a great location! We took multiple walks per day to the river since it was such a short walk. The park is beautiful and scenery is varied based on the tides and time of day. Same with local restaurants and stores, and the weekly farmers’ market—easy walks. The setup of the house was perfect for us and the backyard is private and idyllic, despite the house being so centrally located. We can’t recommend it enough.

Cozy beach house w/Private Heated Pool near park
We had a fantastic stay with our family and friends. It’s a really well appointed house, super clean, spacious bedrooms and a great garage that makes coming in from the beach easy. And the kids loved the warm pool. The local beach was beautiful and we had a great time biking all the paths.

Summer Break~FREE Heated Pool~Walk to Beach~BBQ

Your guide to Hilton Head Island
All About Hilton Head
There are 24 golf courses and 12 miles of soft-sand beaches spread over Hilton Head Island’s 25,000 acres. Add scenic walking trails, breezy, tropical weather, and an obsession with tennis and there’s a good chance you’re here to recreate and relax. This is an island of swaying palms, easy resort-style living, and the Southern flare for hospitality for which this neck of the woods is known. Hilton Head Island is also steeped in history, with a prominent Gullah-Geechee influence that infuses this little corner of the lowcountry with a cultural richness. There are also restaurants serving traditional Southern fare, oyster shucking stalls, and folk music and artisan wares steeped in West African tradition. With so much layered history everywhere you look, you may have come here to play, but you’ll likely leave having learned a lot too.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Hilton Head Island
If you want to visit Hilton Head Island at its busiest and most lively time of year, come during the high summer months of June, July, and August. A golf tournament every spring draws throngs of visitors, but otherwise April and May tend to be quieter times to enjoy the calmer side of island life. Visiting in September or October will also mean mild weather and few crowds, though be careful to check the hurricane forecast as tropical storms can hit in late-autumn. The Island quiets down throughout the winter, and if you choose to come at this time of year, you may just find yourself with a 25,000 acre private island resort at your fingertips — though know that it won’t be the best time for swimming in the ocean.
Top things to do in Hilton Head Island
Learn about Gullah culture
The Gullah-Geechee people of Hilton Head and the surrounding lowcountry are the descendants of enslaved West Africans who, due to the remoteness of their island plantations, managed to preserve their heritage and cultural identity throughout the centuries. Take a boat tour along the waterways that link these island communities, go on a trail walk led by a Gullah elder, or savor Gullah culture in one of the best ways possible — by tasting its influence on so much of Southern cuisine.
Golf
With two dozen golf courses on Hilton Head Island, you can rest assured that this is an excellent place to putt. The island is something of a pilgrimage site for golf aficionados, with the pros and fans alike coming down every year for the regular pro tours and annual tournaments. Note that some of the island’s golf clubs are private or membership only, but fear not, there are still more than 15 public courses that anybody can enjoy.
Sea Pines Forest Preserve
Sea Pines Forest Preserve is a haven of natural beauty, wildlife, and history. Wander along wetland boardwalks, hike through forest trails, and watch alligators bask in the marshes. While here, don’t miss the 4,000-year-old Sea Pines Shell Ring, an important indigenous archeological site, and leave some time to get lost in the secret forest, past a vanishing swamp.
