We had a wonderful vacation at this home. The pool was great for young children as it was a bit shady in the morning but had full sun in the afternoon for the adults while the little ones slept. We appreciated the high lock on the door out to the deck/pool to keep the two year old from venturing outside. The beach access was great and we were able to walk to The Dune House for lunch and to the General Store in the evening for an ice cream. We loved the layout of the house and would certainly stay here again.

Our 4th annual trip picked this wonderful local and home. The great room, kitchen, back deck and pool were spectacular. The proximity to the beach was perfect. Each bedroom has an en-suite. Beds and linens were comfortable. Anyone looking for a great restaurant, please go to the Skull Creek Beach House. You won’t regret it!!

Amazing Hilton Head Home
My family & I stayed here over spring break in April 2025. We brought our 2 frenchies with us. This home couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Very clean considering they allow dogs. Location in Palmetto Dunes is ideal to both the beach, tennis/pickleball courts as well as the General Store - all walkable. We will definitely stay here again! LOVED it! Easy check in & checkout too.

Great location, Great House
The house is two blocks from ocean access. It’s a very easy walk. We went to the beach with chairs most days, and everyday with our dog.The house is very nice. Sheets, dinnerware, etc are all rental grade, which is expected. The space is great. Large dining area, large common area, nice master bath. Guest bedrooms are bigger than a typical condo, guest bathrooms are on par with a typical condo.The street is very nice. Lots of large, pretty homes. Dog walks and bike rides are pleasant and interesting

The house was a great fit for our family. It was well equipped and the pool was nice especially with the hot weather. Proximity to the beach was wonderful. Palmetto Dunes location was fantastic. We enjoyed riding the bikes too. Don't expect early check in.

Fantastic Vacation Home in Palmetto Dunes
This was our second time at this property (Dec 2021 and Dec 2023) and it continues to be a fabulous vacation spot for us. Fully stocked kitchen, CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN (even though pet friendly!), enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all and the management company is super-communicative and easy to get help from if needed. Thank you!

Good accommodation
Administration was flexible in allowing us to occupy one day early (no one rented for several days before we arrived) and leave one day early, which allowed more time with our kids/ grandkids who couldn't stay the whole week. This flexibility was very helpful. House was well-cleaned and well-maintained.

This is one of the best rentals we’ve stated in on Hilton Head! Super clean, really close access to the beach, perfect layout for two families… all bathrooms with en-suite bathrooms…. Great kitchen with all the basics… and nicely decorated! Would love to come back for another visit. Also, lots of deer sightings in the back yard which was a fun surprise!

Great Vacation Spot
We’ve stayed at Hilton Head in several different properties, but we all agreed this property and rental company were the best. The house was lovely, comfortable and well stocked with towels, dishes, etc. Every couple loved having their own large bedroom and bathroom. The pool was great! The rental staff replied quickly when I had a question. They even had a welcome packet the dogs.

Family Vacation
Great experience by the entire family. The Vacation Company made this whole experience uncomplicated and efficiently. The home location was ideal given the proximity to the beach. The only downside was there were not enough tall/large mugs for coffee and trash bags. We would recommend this home and the rental company.

Fantastic stay!
What a great property! Great location (500 steps from the beach), and spacious enough for ten of us. The kitchen was well appointed (we ate at the house most days, so this was great!). Everything was clean and comfortable. The house was a little dated, but in good repair. Dog friendly. We would definitely recommend it!

Perfect mid winter break!
The house was beautiful and had so much space! We brought my in-laws and son’s friend, and had so much room to spread out and had enough privacy for everyone. The house, was immaculate, even though a bit outdated in the bathrooms. The kitchen, living areas, and flooring throughout seemed to be new, which was so nice! The pool was very clean, even though it was February, so I brought a wetsuit for my 9 year old to take a swim! It was only a 5 minute walk to beach, and 10 minute walk to bike rentals, general store for breakfast, and golf and tennis. Highly recommend this property for multi family vacations, as there are 3 separate, private areas, for adults, and an additional kids bunk room right off the kitchen! Will definitely be back to rent this home!

We were so pleased with the well equipped kitchen…all the dishes and pots and pans we needed to cook our Thanksgiving feast!! We had a problem with the pool not heating but as soon as I called someone was there to fix it right away. Thank you so much for that because my grandchildren loved being in the pool.

We had extended family in town for a wedding. The house was exactly as we expected from pictures, Vacation Company corrected some very minor issues with towels/sheet and quickly responded to some pool issues. It was quiet, great location, and roomy for all 12 of us.

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

“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.
