The beds were super comf. Hot tub was perfect. Location was spot on. The pool was nice but didnt offer a whole lot of sun. The home was very clean. We had an issue with a door handle and the response to fix it was really fast, friendly and efficient. I would and will rebook without a doubt.

Spacious and exceptionally well equipped
Beautiful house with large rooms, huge, very well equipped kitchen, and two master suites. Everything was very clean. Lower level held bikes and helmets, kayaks, table tennis, and beach gear. Steps to the beach. We had a problem with the door code upon arrival. Although after office hours, the property manager was available and solved the issue within a few minutes by phone. Very happy with their responsiveness. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was spacious enough that all the couples could get together and still enjoy their privacy at the same time. Between the Pool, Hot Tub and Ping Pong Table there was plenty to do even on the one day it rained.

Great spot for family vacation
This was a great location. Very easy access to the beach. The house was ready at check in time and everything was clean and ready for us to start our vacation. The one problem we had during our day, the company was very responsive and took care of it the same day we contacted them. (very little pressure in outdoor shower). There was plenty of room to spread out and every room having its on private bath is a huge plus. Would stay here again!

Great location!
Home was spacious for 7 adults and conveniently located to the beach (3 min walk) and Coligny square (10 min walk). Had to make a few calls to the management office due to batteries on the automatic locks going out and the pool not being serviced prior to arrival. However they were responsive during our stay. Bikes were included which was awesome and a beach rental voucher was also included which was generous and unexpected. All the bedrooms had their own private baths which was wonderful and again convenient.

Thanksgiving at HHI
My children and grandchildren love Hilton Head at Thanksgiving. Kingfisher 1 was the perfect house for us. With 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, everyone had plenty of personal space. The large open kitchen/dining/living area was great for hanging out in the evening. There was plenty of sitting space for dining and lounging around. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking for a crowd. The second refrigerator in the laundry room was a definite plus. Our only complaint is that many of the windows did not open. They were either painted shut or the crank handle was broken. The weather was perfect during our stay. It would have been nice to have had windows open rather than using the HVAC system. We love the house and would definitely rent it again.

Great Family Vacation Spot with wide open living space!
Our family loved this home during our vacation. There were 10 of us total with my 2 kids (ages 4 and 1). We loved the open living room and kitchen concept as well as the pool on the main level. If we had anything that we'd like to see improved at the property it would be the beds. All of them were pretty hard/stiff and we prefer a softer bed. Also the dishwasher was broken but they sent someone out to fix it the next day. Overall we really enjoyed the house and would definitely come back! Hopefully they will get some mattress toppers or new mattresses before then!

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.
