Thank you for opening your beautiful home to our besties girl trip, it was a vacation to remember. We enjoyed HHI and all it had to offer, we explored on the bikes provided and enjoyed the pool, spa and beach amenities while we celebrated our high school 40th birthday year.

My large family had the most wonderful week. This property, the beach toys, the bikes, everything we needed, was there for our enjoyment. I can’t recommend this rental enough. We loved being able to walk out on the beach at any time as well as walk over to Coligny with our young children. We will be back!

Great stay. Loved this house
House was great. We loved the pool. Easy access to the beach. The house is well maintained and clean. We had plenty of space which was great. I would suggest adding a tea kettle to the kitchen. Other than that the kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed. It was so nice that beach towels were provided. Washing machine was great. We washed our own towels. We had a very nice and relaxing week at the beach. Definitely would book this house again.

Tranquil
Gorgeous property, with path access to the beach. All the rooms were extremely clean and well lit. Our expectations for ice-cold air conditioning were a little low considering the forecast was in the mid-90s for the week but we were pleased with the good AC system that kept the house cool. The pool and Hot tub were well kept. My favorite part was the backyard views of the ocean on the upper deck and the patio. The inside of the home was also well decorated and provided a very relaxing yet coastal aura. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation with my brothers and my father. Thank you, HH!

Great House Great Location
As the title indicates, great house and location. Everyone had room to have time away as well as large enough for the family meals etc. Only downside was for some reason the hot tub can't be heated unless it is 55 F outside. This dampened that aspect as everyone one was looking forward to it on the cold evenings around Christmas.

Great home on the beach
Communication and check-in was a breeze, though we were not there until the late afternoon the property was available earlier. It was in a great location and shopping a restaurants within walking distance. We had an amazing time, the home had plenty of bedrooms, the kitchen was well stocked and the 4 bikes were great for riding on the beach. We walked on the beach every day and rode bikes. There were a lot more people on the beach than I expected for November. Information was sent outlining everything we needed to know and number to contact if we had an issue. They were super responsive when we called. If I had to provide 1 suggestion is there are only 7 seats available for the communal space. I would suggest adding another couple of comfortable chairs on the far wall or think about a way to increase the seating to a minimum of 10. Would recommend this home, however definitely pricey during the Thanksgiving week.

This is a great property. The house is lovely and very well laid out. The location is unbeatable. So nice to have a pool and hot tub and be steps away from the beach, and a short walk to shopping and restaurants. We would love to come again! I would be nervous having little kids here though as the pool is uncovered. But bigger kids and adults are just fine.

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.
