A perfect house and a perfect vacation. We spent Thanksgiving in the wonderful 8 Rum Row. The house was beautifully maintained and excellent for our multi generational family. We've rented for many years in Palmetto Dunes and this was by far the nicest house we've rented. And the view was breathtaking. We spent a lot of time on the gorgeous screen porch. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at 8 Rum Row. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 to relax, enjoy the yard, and cook. The home was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms were sizable. The only negatives were that the cleaning crew was still working at 4:00 when we wanted to check in, which was slightly inconvenient. There was also very little available in the way of household items, so plan to bring or buy these things. We needed to purchase paper towels, spray cleaner for the kitchen, all cooking spices, oils, aluminum foil, etc. in many other properties these were provided.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your review of this property. We apologize that you were slightly delayed at check-in, occasionally the housekeeping companies run behind, however, we do our best and this does not happen often. We do not provide any condiments or kitchen items for cooking. We do provide starter amenities packets in the bathrooms and kitchen. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you will let us know if we can assist you in the future. – Vacation Company

This house is amazing!! There was 12 adults that stayed for the week. More than enough room to have family dinners at one table and your own privacy. House included the little extras like a waffle maker, 2 coffee pots, higher end pots/pans/baking utensils/ and a sharp knife set (I hate using dull knives when I cook). The house was very clean. Outside view of lagoon is beautiful and peaceful. Location to beach was a little bit of a hike on the way back but manageable.

Beach Renourishment Project (Fall 2025 - Spring 2026) Beach Renourishment Project
Town of Hilton Head Island Beach
Renourishment Project

As there are many factors that can impact the project schedule, particularly weather and marine conditions, the public is encouraged to stay updated on the project’s progress—including location schedules, an interactive map, photos, FAQs, and more. More information can be found as follows:

For more information or answers to questions regarding beach renourishment, please reach out to communications@hiltonheadislandsc.gov.

“It’s a priority to preserve, protect and cherish our beaches – one of our greatest assets. Our Island depends on their ongoing vitality. The Town’s role is to carry out the community’s collective dedication to this environmental core value through our investment in restoration and maintenance,” said Mayor Alan Perry. “And fortunately, due to the foresight of Town leaders before us and thanks to our millions of visitors, this project is funded through our beach preservation fund and capital improvement program.”


Beach renourishment is a moving work zone that typically progresses at about 1,000 feet per section-just 2% of the Island’s total beach area. On average, only 300 feet of beach will be impacted per day. Temporary beach access ramps and clear signage will help direct beachgoers safely around active work areas to open areas of the beach. As soon as an active site is completed, the equipment will move down the beach and the newly renourished section will open.

Special protection has been made for wildlife that may be impacted because of the project. All work will be supervised by consultant teams under contract to monitor sea turtles and migratory shorebirds. Additionally, per a requirement of the beach renourishment permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Town amended its municipal code to restrict animal/dog activity in an area adjacent to Fish Haul Creek beach park. This requirement protects endangered shorebird species that migrate and nest there. Signage is posted and no other beach areas will be affected. Dogs are still allowed per the Town’s seasonal rules – only a small section of the creek area adjacent to the beach park is restricted.

Marinex Construction, Inc., the contractor for the project, began mobilizing equipment this month in preparation for the work. This includes positioning their offshore barges and staging miles of steel pipes to pump sand from ocean shoals back to beaches. Crews will be working around the clock daily.

The beach renourishment process helps to:

  • Preserve a healthy shoreline ecosystem for wildlife such as sea turtles and shorebirds.
  • Protect beachfront properties and infrastructure from storms.
  • Provide wider, more enjoyable beaches for residents and visitors alike.
