A Special Celebration
Hard to find the words to tell you how perfect it was. Our son and the heart of our family passed away in April and this Thanksgiving was going to be a difficult one. We chose carefully to find a home in our beloved Hilton Head to all gather together and remember the many years we lived here so long ago. We all agreed it would be a gathering to remember Gabe as well as be thankful for the loving family we have. The house was perfect in every way. Spacious,beautiful with every detail thought of. Close to the beautiful beach and bikes provided for everyone!! There is not one thing that could be improved.Thank you so much for allowing us to come together and celebrate Thanksgiving and our beautiful boy. This home will be at the top of our list for future trips to Hilton Head.

Fantastic!!!
We don’t usually do reviews, but felt like this one was a must! This property absolutely exceeded our expectations. We had 8 of us total, spent a week here with 6 kids (Ages 21-26). The property was clean, spacious and literally had everything we could possibly need. The location could not be any better! Waking distance to the Coligny Plaza shops, restaurants and grocery store. Very short walk down to the beach which was pleasantly just far enough down away from the very busy public beach. Being able to fit all 3 cars in the garage and out of the sun was fantastic. The elevator was a pleasant bonus with moving bags up and down. I’m not sure I can say enough good things about this place. We will 100% come back here again.Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Wonderful Family Beach Trip
We had a great weeklong stay at 1 Curlew to celebrate our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary! The house was great for 8 adults and 7 kids. So much space and plenty to do. The location can’t be beat! You can walk to the beach and Coligny. The house is clean and well maintained and we had no issues! I hope we can come back!

Great house and location for a family holiday
We had four generations gathered for Thanksgiving and this house was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone and lots of seating for meals. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels provided. The kitchen has every pan and tool you could need! It’s a short walk to the beach or to Coligny shopping and restaurants. The bikes and beach gear were so nice to have.

We loved 1 Curlew. This house is beautifully decorated and so close to the beach. Nothing is left undone at 1 Curlew. Fully stocked with everything you could want. Plenty of room for a large family or a group of friends. The bathrooms are large , and bedrooms as well. Laundry on both floors is a bonus. Not only a beautiful home, but clean and cozy as well!

Great family vacation
1 Curlew was excellent. It was spacious enough that our family of 14 never felt cramped. The pool is a bit small, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it, especially the grandsons! The garage was absolutely loaded with beach things, so you may not need to rent or bring anything. There were 2 beach carts, 2 umbrellas, 5-6 beach chairs, at least 6 boogie boards and loads of sand toys. The downstairs A/C stopped working one evening due to a clogged drain line. A call to the property manager was quickly returned and an HVAC company was out within 3 hours to get the unit back up and running. Great service!

The perfect place for great memories!
Everything about this property was perfect for our family. Our mom and dad, and two daughters and their families (12 total) were very comfortable. Access to the beach was awesome. Home provided two beach carts which made lugging our stuff much easier. Loved that there was a shower with hot water to rinse off before coming back inside. House is a short distance from Coligny Plaza which was an easy walk or bike ride. The house felt like home. The amenities inside were perfect. Each family had their own space and own private bath. The elevator was a huge help in getting out things to the second and third floors. The kitchen was well equipped and such a nice gathering spot while preparing meals. We were there over Halloween and enjoyed carving pumpkins and even had room to room trick or treating inside the house for our littles. It was so much fun! Many thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful home. We all loved and enjoyed our time there. Hope to be able to enjoy it again.

More than expected...
Our stay at this house was the best one we've had thus far on Hilton Head, and this was our seventh trip to the island. The house was everything and more than what the descriptions and pictures showed. It was clean, organized, spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It really felt like a home away from home. The pool and deck area were just the right size for our group of nine. The location was perfect, walking or bike riding distance to the beach and Coligny Mall. We can't say enough about this property and will definitely rent again if we have a large group.

Family Vacation
My husband and I took our children and grandchildren to "The Big Red House" for a Thanksgiving vacation. The weather was beautiful and all of the kids played in the pool, the game room, and the beach. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, this helped make the trip a success. If you have several families that need to spread out, this is a fabulous location. You can park the car and not move it until time to go home. We rented bikes, rode to Sea Pines and South Beach. We walked to The Pig for groceries, and enjoyed the restaurants at Coligny. If we take everyone on a family vacation again, this house would be our first choice.

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 .

“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.
