Wonderful Property
Really enjoyed our stay at 16 Painted Bunting. The house was spacious enough for our family. Access to the bikes and hot tub was so appreciated! But the most incredible part of our stay was the grounds, with its amazing beach view, hidden in the pines. We absolutely loved it! So serene and peaceful! Thank you for making this property available.

The house was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked: silverware, glasses/coffee cups, dishes, cooking/baking needs. Loved being right on the ocean. We enjoyed the pool. A disappointment was that I choose the house because it had a screened in porch, but the screen door was ripped and the lounge chair cushions smelled so moldy. We never went out there.

Friends get away
Four couples who love to have fun and be around the water found this house to be an ideal place to be together! Plenty of space for conversations yet enough for some privacy too! Pool was beautiful to look at and a few ventured in even in early November. We had a couple of nice days the some rain but still had a blast. The house was just perfect and we hope to return!!

Perfect Getaway
We stayed with another family and it was the perfect amount of space for all of us. We enjoyed the short walk to The Salty Dog/South Beach area, the beach and the bikes that came with the rental. My only suggestion would be to add more forks to the kitchen inventory as we kept running out of clean ones. Everything else in the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks for a great vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay. Comfy beds and furnishings. The setting is just gorgeous. Loved the pool and the well equipped kitchen. The only downfall was where you step onto the beach is difficult to maneuver if you have and hip, ankle, or knee issues.

Fantastic family vacation!
If you value location, convenience and outside amenities over an updated interior like we do, then look no further. They layout of this house was perfect for our needs. We used the upstairs almost exclusively and appreciated the built in baby gates immensely. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need and the smart TVs made our stay very comfortable. But let's talk about location. Holy cow. We saw sunrises and sunsets. We could bike anywhere. We enjoyed protection from ocean breezes while at the pool and convenient access to the ocean otherwise. The landscaping is well done. We didn't even care that the next door house was having roof work done the whole week. It was that calming. I look forward to future stays here!

We absolutely loved our time at 16 Painted Bunting! Ocean views & access, a pool (must pay extra to heat) and a wonderful home in general. Bikes provided with the house made it easy to get around the island & Sea Pines itself is such an amazing place to stay too.

Great Family Vacation!
We really enjoyed the location of this house. It was clean and well-stocked. We love the Sea Pines area. It’s nice to be able to enjoy both the ocean side and a short walk to the sound side. We saw marine life daily — dolphins, fish, manta ray, starfish, sand dollars, etc. The kids loved the pool and it was an easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location
This home was a great place for a family vacation with kids. I loved the wooded yard with the pool. The trees made the yard/pool shaded just enough for most of the day. The home is in Sea Pines, which is a beautiful area. The private boardwalk straight to the beach, pool, and access to the biking trails made this house great for us. We had babies with us and we were able to set up our baby monitors in the house and still be close enough to enjoy the pool while they napped. There is a baby gate at the top of the stairs and a few more are stored in bedroom closets. We also had bigger kids who enjoyed playing in the yard and of course the pool. Since we had babies and kids it was a lot of work to take all our beach stuff down to the ocean to spend time and then the babies would eat the sand, so we didn't spend a lot of time there but it was so close that it was easy to just walk down to the ocean for a quick walk or just take a peek at the sunset without having to bring all the gear. The boardwalk down to the ocean was very nice. The house is a nice, quick bike ride to Salty Dog Cafe. It was so fun to be able to bike to many things. There is a Harris Teeter grocery store just outside of the Sea Pines entry which was convenient for us. The lush greenery surrounding the house gives so much privacy like you're on your own island. We came at the end of April and paid to have the pool heated. It stayed at 90 degrees in the water, which was wonderful and worth the heating cost. I would definitely return to this house again.

Absolute perfection
First time family trip to Hilton Head and this set the bar high. This home is beautiful, clean, and in an absolute perfect location. Views, easy access to a soft sand beach, natural light, and gorgeous pines surrounding the property. Pool was clean and fun for the kids while my wife and I enjoyed soaking up sun. The property management (vacation company) made everything totally simple. Beach gear rental was flawless. We are so thankful and happy we rented here and hope to do so again.

Great location
Great location and really easy access to the beach. The trails and restaurants were easy to reach and made it simple to not have to stray far from the property if you wanted to take it easy.

Great Location
Nice property with a perfect location in Sea Pines. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing every day! The house was well suited for our family and we had a great time. We appreciated the bikes, pool and the service of the property manager. I would recommend some updating on the deck, outdoor loungers and a thorough cleaning of the air vents and registers. The AC unit worked well but we could not adjust the temp. These are minor things ...overall a great stay in a comfortable and lovely location!

The BEST place we’ve ever stayed in Hilton Head
16 Painted Bunting is the total package. The house was beautiful, clean, large, well-equipped, right on the beach, and made our time there spectacular. The pool/jacuzzi spa was a highlight, as well. If you are on the fence about whether to stay here or not, DO IT ! You will not be disappointed. One thing that we brought with us that was very helpful was a wagon made for riding on sand. This helped us get chairs and coolers (and our 1 year old grandson) down the short pathway to the beach in one trip. We really appreciated the large number of beach towels, bath towels, and TVs(6)- including one in every bedroom. We had a pretty strong storm come through on Sunday that filled the pool with a lot of debris. We called the management company and the pool cleaning company came to clean the pool the first thing Monday morning- we were impressed. Overall, we had an amazing time at this beautiful, warm, cozy home.

Best Week Ever
We had the absolute best time. The location cannot be neat. We were with our 3 year old and both sets of grandparents. Plenty of room and the proximity to the beach made going down so easy. We will be back.

Wonderful Rental !
We definitely want to return next summer! This home is ON the beach (and we loved South Beach/Sea Pines area and the wooden walkway to the beach). The kitchen was so very well stocked, but there are restaurants galore nearby. Just a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed: 1) the clothes dryer made an awful rattling noise, then quit working all together. A repairman was scheduled and he came promptly and was able to get it working again, though it still rattled and most assuredly needs replacing. 2) wheels are missing on the bottom rack of the dishwasher which made it almost impossible to empty the dishwasher (which was so very nice and quiet! Obviously a top notch dishwasher, except for the bottom rack). Other than those issues, everything was great!

Ocean Front Paradise
We spent a wonderful family vacation at 16 painted Bunting. There were eight adults and one baby and the layout worked very well. We loved that there were so many chairs on the deck and pool to accommodate all of us. There were even extra sand chairs and pool and beach toys/games. The property was very close to some great restaurants and golf courses. The only negative was the bugs in the house. Perhaps the pest-control needs to come more often. But still a fabulous time at this beautiful home! Looking to come back again soon!

It feels like home to us and is always welcoming ...calming.... and the only place we can seem to ever relax! :-) I am so thankful and grateful to the owner for allowing us to rent this little piece of heaven hideaway. I love the deer in the backyard every morning I love the birds that sit on the deck and I love the sound of the ocean and the smell of the air.

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:
