Beautiful condo with gorgeous ocean view and about a 2 minute walk over the dunes to the beach. Condo was very well appointed and immaculate! Property management people were outstanding. Best experience we've ever had on HHI.

Everything was great about the property. Location of unit very close to the pool and the beach. Pictures don't give enough credence to ocean views on balcony even from 1st floor (which was very convenient for my elderly mom).

Spent 2 months here and it was great! The condo was as described. The kitchen was the most well-equipped kitchen we have ever seen! Loved the location and convivence to grocery shopping & restaurants. The only con would be the sofa is very worn and uncomfortable. Looking forward to coming back next year.

Great Spring Getaway & Unit!
Within 5 minutes of entering the unit, my wife remarked that it looked just like the online photos - no “bait n switch”. Unit was thoroughly clean & well supplied / outfitted. The location is quite convenient to pool, parking, beac access and grill area; great views of courtyard then through trees to beach - this is a “sunrise” unit - perfect for early morning sun. We found everything operable & in good condition. We had a great time and have only good impressions, memories & comments.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay during our first time to Hilton Head The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware and dishes. Although we didn’t utilize it this visit, right outside are several grills and seating which is very nice to have. The beach is just steps away and so beautiful. We visited during January and it was warm enough to take walks and let our children play in the sand and search for sea shells. We took advantage of the indoor pool during our stay and I’m sure in warmer months the outdoor pools are great, they looked amazing. The only thing I would say- and I should have reached out instead of assuming, it is listed as a first floor unit. While it is a first floor unit, it is actually the second story (parking below). I particularly wanted a first floor because my 3 year old sleep walks and I was concerned about having a balcony. In the end all was well but wish I had known it was second story. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back.

This beautiful place is very cozy and has views of the beach from the kitchen and bedrooms. It's literally steps from the beach and pool. The condo was clean with great furnishings and comfortable beds. We loved everything about it! It's the best location we've stayed in during our 15 years vacationing in Hilton Head.

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.

“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.
