The condo was so clean and welcoming and had everything we needed for our month-long stay. The loaction was IDEAL to the beach, walking / biking trails, general store, tennis courts, etc. The management company was so thorough with proving all sorts of info before and during our stay and responded to my question immediately when I first arrived on a Sunday afternoon. We plan to be back next year!

Nice condo but needs updates
We stayed at 15 Moorings for 8 days and enjoyed it. Great location! Almost all of the appliances were relatively new and in good working order. The unit was very clean. The primary problems were as follows: The front door was almost impossible to lock. We had to leave it open several times when we left the condo. The dishwasher needs to be repaired. The bottom rack in the dishwasher had a lot of exposed rusty parts where the plastic protection is falling off. There was no rug when you came in to condo from being out at the sandy beach. Another problem aren't hooks to hang jackets nor hooks to hang towels in the bathrooms. The last problem is the shower in the laundry room has a lot of mold on the tile.

Great Location in Palmetto Dunes
This condo is in a great location, very quick and easy walk to the beach. We loved The Dune restaurant and bar right on the beach with nice clean restrooms and is right at the beach access for The Moorings condos. The pool is right next to the condo and it is very nicely maintained. We loved The Moorings condo at Palmetto Dunes! It was very nice and clean. Very nicely furnished, with beach towels and plenty of bath towels/wash cloths. We loved having a washer and dryer which looked brand new. We also loved having 3 full bathrooms, this was a hugh plus!!! We would definitely rent this condo again in the future.

Perfect layout, plenty of space!
This is our second stay in this same home. We think the layout is perfect for our family and has plenty of space if we wanted a couple of friends to join us on vacation. The kitchen is fully furnished with everything we needed to fix meals. The place was clean and we noticed some upgrades were made on the flooring. While I stocked up on a couple of books to read during my stay, it was nice to see some good books were already in the home. Now that our kids are teens, we felt safe with them going out on their own for bike rides. We noticed several neighborhood patrols keeping an eye on everything. We met some engaging people at the General Store and enjoyed a couple of breakfasts from there. This location is such a close walk to the beach and the Dunes House restaurant. We really enjoy this community and this particular home. We'll be back again soon!

Great location for pickleball and beach
This Villa at The Moorings was an excellent location for us and our friends, who planned this trip to be full of pickleball, biking, and the beach. It’s literally a five-minute walk to pickleball courts and the General Store, and about a three-minute walk to the beach and The Dunes House restaurant. Although showing a little age, the villa was very clean. My husband was a big fan of the very large TV in the living room. However. I would suggest a new king-size mattress for the primary bedroom. Communication with the property manager, The Vacation Company, was excellent, and we really appreciated the credits we used toward beach chairs and a kayaking experience. And thanks for providing the beach towels, too! We would definitely stay here again.

We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your recent visit to Hilton Head and greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided. Palmetto Dunes is a great plantation on the island with the beach so close to many locations. We hope you plan to visit the island again in the near future as we would be more than happy to assist with any rental needs you may have. - Vacation Company

Beautiful Villa!
This condo was perfect for us. We were able to get to the beach, pickleball, and golf without even getting in our car! The VAYK Beach gear credit was awesome. We rented bikes and rode around the island for hours. The beach chairs were comfy and the umbrella was a must!! I would highly recommend.

AWESOME location almost on beach and across from pickleball/tennis and general store
We’ve been coming to HHI for many years and always stay in palmetto dunes because we love the beaches and limited access, making it less busy. We always rent bikes and ride over to shelter cove and around the plantation. This condo is in The Moorings, which is just inside the security guard checkpoint, past the tennis courts and general store, which we love to ride to and stop at for ice cream after a long day. While this condo doesn’t have an ocean view (or really much view at all), it’s so close to the beach that we just packed up and headed out to the beach, which is accessible just around the corner at the Dunes House. The Dunes House is also where the weekly Turtle Trot 5k takes place, which is a fun run on the nice hard sand of the expansive beach of palmetto dunes. That was a nice bonus to be steps from the start and finish line, and highly recommend doing that race. Adults and kids had a blast! The condo has THREE full baths, which somehow I missed in the description, but it was awesome to have a bonus shower when we would all pile into the condo to get ready for the evening! Lastly, we really appreciated the extra touches that the Vacation Company (property management) had when we arrived. Their communication, app with information, and text notifications were all great.

Quickly planned getaway
This property was one that jumped out when searching VRBO for a quickly planned getaway for the family. It has good reviews and seems to be rented regularly. The process of reserving this location, checking in and entering the unit, getting quick assistance for some simple items during our stay, and the reminders and checkout process were all extremely easy and smooth. This certainly makes a vacation enjoyable and definitely leads to return trips!

Great place
We really enjoyed our stay at your place. The only thing I would suggest is that you trim the tree branches over the parking spaces. Everyday we were there, birds did their thing while sitting on the tree branches over our car. It made a mess each day and could easily be stopped by just trimming the branches over the 2 parking spaces.

Communication with host was great. I booked last minute so I thought we might have problems during check in but communication was great. The home is much larger than appears. Set up nicely with kids on one side and parents on other side of home. Place was really clean and location is a short walk to beach.

The condo was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return. We love Palmetto Dunes and this unit had excellent proximity to the beach, Dunes House, tennis and bike rentals.

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:

“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.
