1 Black Duck - 2nd Row Ocean & So Much More!
Nice home just a block from beach at tip of island. Comfy living room and beds, well stocked kitchen, bikes provided which were great fun to ride on beach. Only problem was that we had specifically chosen a home with an in-ground hot tub and double checked with agent before arriving to confirm it would be working. Sadly, upon arrival we found it was not working at all-- property management staff were prompt in replying and tried several attempts to fix it but turned out a major part was needed that did not arrive. Functioning of tub should have been checked before our arrival.

Excellent Home!
This 2nd row home was perfect for our 2 families. A 3 minute walk to the beach! The Vacation Company was incredibly thorough and quickly responsive to any of our needs. The house layout is great and there was just enough communal areas and private areas for our group of 11. The kitchen was well appointed and had high end appliances. We could walk to South Beach/Salty dog in 5 minutes and Harbor Town and Coligny were a half hour bike on the trails. We loved the outdoor seating area off the dining room - from our morning coffee to our happy hours! The pool and spa were perfect . It was nice having the 4 bikes come with house. The high level of communication initiated by the Vacation Company was much appreciated. We have been coming to HHI for many years and we would love to stay at 1 Black Duck again.

Great Location, Nice House
Location is great! It's an easy walk to the beach via Water Tower Park. Also a short walk to the Marina. Common living areas are really nicely updated. Living room was very comfortable, a great place to hangout once the kids were in bed. There's a great screened-in patio off the main floor. Kitchen is updated and has everything we needed to make dinner multiple nights. Fridge was oddly shallow, but fits the style of the kitchen. Bathrooms could stand to be updated but they were in good condition. I wouldn't lower the star rating for it. Our mattress could have been more comfortable - it felt a bit worn. It wasn't like a hotel mattress that's nice a plush. Would recommend it get replaced, but again wouldn't lower a start rating for it, it didn't keep me from sleeping well. We didn't end up using the pool (at the beach the whole time), but it looked really nice as well as the patio area. Only other minor critique is there were only like 10 hangers in the house. So we needed to go buy hangers to hang our clothes up from our luggage. Would recommend hangers be provided. Overall a great location and really nice house. Would definitely stay here again!

In the future don't hesitate to contact us regarding any issues you have, such as the hangers as we can quickly take care of that for you. We will advise the owner about the mattress.

This property had it all. Excellent kitchen, living space and pool. Our family had a wonderful time. Short walk to the beach which was serene and beautiful. Few people on the beach so it was easy to social distance. Loved the entire week!

Great house for a great trip!
We loved staying in this house. We had two crawling babies with us and it was a great layout for them - we were also happy that there was a baby gate at the stairs. The close proximity to the beach and South Beach was very convenient meaning that we didn't have to drive anywhere if we didn't want to. Having the bikes with the house was also very convenient. The screened in porch was also very nice and relaxing. We would definitely stay at this house again.

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

Overall schedule updates, temporary closure of
Fish Haul Beach Park announced

Updated as of JANUARY 14, 2026

Start date for Hilton Head Island Beach Renourishment
Project-Phase 1 shifts to mid-August

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (January 14, 2026) Marinex Construction will begin mobilizing at Fish Haul Beach Park as part of the Town of Hilton Head Island’s beach renourishment project in mid-August. Marinex updated the new start date due to adverse weather and marine conditions affecting the transfer of materials and equipment from a site off the Florida Atlantic coast.

Originally, Marinex was scheduled to start construction at Fish Haul Beach Park off Mitchelville Road on Aug. 6. Instead, mobilization is now scheduled to take place from about Aug. 13 to Sept. 1. Active beach renourishment construction is anticipated to start during the week of Sept. 2 and be completed by the week of Sept. 15 at Fish Haul. It is anticipated that Fish Haul Beach will be closed to the public for approximately five days in early September when the beach fill begins.

This is a 24/7 project.

Despite this temporary delay, survey and pre-construction activities are ongoing, and the project team remains on track to complete the renourishment work in accordance with the contract schedule windows. "As with any project of this magnitude, we anticipate that changes may arise due to various factors. We encourage the public to stay connected with us through social media and our website for any updates regarding the beach renourishment project," said Jeff Netzinger, Director of Engineering and Public Projects for the Town.

The beach renourishment project will occur in three phases, with an anticipated completion date of May 2026. The new anticipated schedule is as follows:

  • Phase 1 - Port Royal (the Heel), Fish Haul and Pine Island
    • Complete - Contractor mobilizes in August 2025.
    • Complete - Weeks of August 13, 2025 thru September 17, 2025 - Fish Haul area
    • Complete - Weeks of September 18, 2025 thru October 10, 2025 - Pine Island
    • Complete - Weeks of October 11, 2025 thru October 17, 2025 - Port Royal (The Heel)
  • Phase 2 - Central Island, South Island and South Beach
    • Weeks of December 11, 2025 thru March 28, 2026 - Central Island, including beach areas along Palmetto Dunes
    • Weeks of March 28, 2026 thru May 31, 2026 - South Island and South Beach areas .
  • Phase 3 - Pine Island Breakwater Structures
    • Weeks of November 1, 2025 thru April 30, 2026

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.

The public is encouraged to stay updated on the project’s progress—including location schedules, an interactive map, photos, FAQs, and more. Please:
