Great place, centrally located
Overall the condo was well furnished and clean. It had easy access to the beach, pool, restaurants and shopping. My only issue was the freezer wasn’t working and our ice cream melted. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Great Getaway
This was our first trip to Hilton Head and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at 3204 SeaCrest. We had a little one with us and being right on the beach was so helpful. The unit was immaculate and nicely appointed. The access to beach rentals was a big plus and so conveniently delivered right to us. We enjoyed riding the bikes on our 8.5 mile trek and we loved the convenience of walking to so many restaurants and shops nearby. Our only complaint is that the property needs to take better care of the pools and deck area. Everything there seemed worn and in need of repairs.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at SeaCrest with it's great amenities. We will share your comments about the pool areas with the regime there. We hope to see you again soon for more bike riding! ~ The Vacation Company

The Best Views!
This condo was perfect for our family of four. It was in a great spot. The condo was very clean, super comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, and just the best views! There was some construction while there but it didn't interrupt our experience at all. We were disappointed that the gym had no free weights. No fault of the owners obviously, but just letting everyone know, as we didn't expect that from a "gym". Great place - highly recommend.

The condo receives very high marks for cleanliness; the best oceanfront location; access to grocery store (Piggly Wiggly), restaurants, and live music across the street; two beach bikes included with the rental, and the most amazing sunsets! No wonder these units sell for millions! Would return in a minute!

Fabulous Trip!!
My sisters and I rented three condos in SeaCrest and had the best stay over the long Labor Day weekend! Our unit was so cute, clean, comfortable, and convenient to the pool, beach and, most importantly, Pool Bar Jim's! LOL Nice restaurants, shops and cafes were all within walking distance and we drove just a few minutes for some fabulous food at both Coast, and The Black Marlin. The beach was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect!
From the moment we drove into the complex we were delighted with our choice of properties for our vacation. The location can not be beat, shopping, restaurants, parks, and the BEST lattes are all within walking distance outside of the complex. Within the complex you have 2 great outdoor pools, a fitness center, the beach, and Pool Bar Jim's! The unit itself was on the oceanside and thr views were breathtaking. The unit was larger than expected and very clean. The only negative part was that the wifi was not the greatest but we did not mind too much as we spent most of our time outside! Our 4 kids as well as my husband and I had a great time here. We are already looking at next year.

We loved our condo, 3204. It has an awesome view. Seen dolphins from our balcony almost every morning. The property and grounds are very nice. We enjoyed the heated pool after dipping our toes in the cold ocean water. Access to the ocean and beach is right there. The location is perfectly located by the ocean and across the street shops and restaurants. We loved riding our bikes to restaurants, around the area on the paths and on the beach. The condo was clean, updated, big rooms, excellent view, had everything we needed for an amazing week on the Island. We will definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I booked this condo as a last minute girls trip with our 5 kids before school started. It could not have been more perfect! The condo was actually nicer in person than in the pictures and you couldn't ask for a better location. The proximity to the beach, the two pools and the pool bar were exactly what we needed! The app that the management company utilizes was fantastic (including the part about leaving items behind which came in handy when we realized 3 hours into the drive back that the priceless Dyson hair dryer was still under the sink - a real person answered right away and it was in a box being shipped to me that day!). Highly recommend this property.

Great Week at a Beautiful Place
When we had to postpone our trip because of Hurricane Irma, our original choice was not available so we had to choose another rental. Fortunately, with the gracious help of Carrie at Vacation Company, we chose #3204! The place was immaculate with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Besides offering a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean, it was beautifully decorated with some unique items to give the villa a special touch. Did I mention the location? Well, besides being oceanfront, Coligny Circle is only a few steps away where there are plenty of interesting shops and restaurants for all tastes. If you want a day of sun and relaxation, sit poolside or on one of the two balconies with a good book and a beverage (they also serve food) from Big Jim's which is right on the property between the two pools. After being disappointed having to postpone our original dates from September to October, this proved to be better than we could have imagined. The weather was great, the rental and property was inviting and comfortable, and we enjoyed our time there immensely. The only problem...the week went by way too fast!

We are very pleased to hear how delightful your recent visit to Hilton Head turned out and we greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided. This unit is location in a fantastic spot on the island and we are glad you enjoyed not only the location but the surrounding amenities as well! Having nearby shops and restaurants is always an added bonus while on vacation. We wish your trip could have been longer but we do hope you visit Hilton Head again soon and would be happy to assist with any future rental needs you may have.

Great condo, great size, and very comfortable. Living room could use a second couch as the two side chairs weren't that comfortable after sitting in them a while. Property was very well maintained and centrally located to a grocery and shopping. Will definitely consider on our next beach trip. The only draw back on this unit was a little pricey but other wise great.

3204 Seacrest
We have been staying at the seacrest for 9 years now. This was our first time at 3204. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. My only suggestions would be to get a bigger t.v. for the living room area and maybe another couch instead of the two chairs. Still would definitely stay there again. I know from staying in other condo units there its too bad they don't leave beach chairs as we had to go to walmart to buy them for the week and then had to leave them because we flew.

Two problems during our stay. Ants in the front foyer and one bathroom. TV lost cable signal several times. Bug man had not serviced condo since Dec. so think perhaps should use his service at first of March.

2025 Beach Renourishment Project 2025 Beach Renourishment Project

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS provided by the TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND

Hilton Head Island's beach is crucial to both residents and the local economy. To preserve this valuable resource, the Town has planned a beach restoration project for Summer 2025, funded primarily by tourism through the local Beach Preservation Fee.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
  • The 2025 beach renourishment is expected to be similar to the previous projects in 1990, 1997, 2006 and 2016.
  • The proposed project will include the placement of approximately 2.2 million cubic yards of beach compatible sand from up to four offshore borrow areas along about 46,500 ft of Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  • This project is part of the Town's ongoing beach management program, with renourishment scheduled every 8 to 10 years, depending on weather and beach conditions.
  • Pine Island in Hilton Head Plantation will be included in the 2025 restoration.
SAND PLACEMENT

The proposed project will include sand placement along five areas of the island shoreline:

  1. South Beach / South Island - Approximately 750,000 cubic yards of sand along approximately 10,230 feet of the southern Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  2. Central Island - Approximately 700,000 cubic yards along 28,860 feet of Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  3. The Heel - Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sand along 5,280 feet at the northeast point of the island at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  4. Fish Haul Creek - Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand along about 2,130 feet of Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  5. Pine Island - Approximately 180,000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand and construction of six rock breakwaters on the Port Royal Sound shoreline of Hilton Head Plantation between Dolphin Head and Pine Island.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

The nourishment sand will be excavated by hydraulic dredge from two offshore shoal features.

  • Up to 50,000 feet of pipeline will be trucked or floated to the island by way of large rafts, then moved onto the beach.
  • The pipeline will be piled in stacks along the shoreline until needed during construction.
  • During construction, many miles of pipeline will be submerged on the ocean floor between the offshore borrow sites and the beach.
  • The rest of the pipeline will be laid progressively along the newly constructed beach as the fill sand is pumped on shore.

The dredge will pump a mixture of sand and seawater through the pipeline, and will discharge it onto the beach.

  • There, it will flow parallel to the shoreline - allowing the sand to settle out and the water to return to the sea.
  • Bulldozers and other heavy construction machinery will constantly shape the sand to meet the design specifications.

Project construction is expected to last approximately six months, operating around the clock.

  • On average, the process should move along the shoreline at a rate of about 200 to 300 feet per day.
  • As the fill placement progresses, approximately 1,000 foot sections of the beach are closed temporarily to pedestrian access.
  • Several days of work activity will occur seaward of any one piece of oceanfront property in the 1,000 foot active work area along the beach.
  • Once placed and rough-graded, the new beach is immediately reopened to the public.
IMPACTS ON RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
  • Construction noise will primarily involve bulldozers shaping the sand as it is deposited.
  • Disruptions at individual properties generally last about three or four days as the renourishment operation progresses.
  • Adjacent property owners, or renters, may experience short-term minor inconveniences.
PROJECT BENEFITS

Preserving Hilton Head Island's beaches supports the local environment, economy, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike

The project is sponsored and funded by the Town of Hilton Head Island and engineered by is Olsen Associates, Inc.
