What a great place to relax
This property was excellent for our part of 6. The house is spacious, beautiful with comfortable and clean furniture and surroundings. The screened in porch was great for relaxing and reading. The outdoor area was so nice and had everything we could want. We also love to stay in Shipyard Plantation. The location was nice and quiet and a short bike ride to the beach from the bike/walking paths. We would stay here again.

Great stay
Enjoyed our stay in Hilton Head! Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. Plenty of beach towels! Pool felt great! Two small recommendations (1) would be nice if the kitchen was stocked with a few basic spices (2) the laminated card need to be updated to show the walk to the beach takes 30 minutes and not 15 minutes. Overall, really enjoyed the neighborhood for walking. Thanks!

By far the best
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. This is the fifth year we have stayed in this house. By far, it is the best house we have rented on the island. It has everything we need and is very clean. Thanks to Vacation Company for the bikes this year. We really have enjoyed them. We will be back!

Our third stay...
Our third stay on this lovely property was typically satisfying and fulfilling. For a nuclear family and grandparents, the house's floor plan is optimal for convenience and privacy. Our children relish access to the pool, and the adults cherish the tranquility of the private deck. It feels (and probably looks) like Walden Pond. Thank you for keeping it in the rental inventory. And thank you for equipping it so thoroughly - with all the little items (bag clips, hangars, candles) that a permanently functioning household needs. See you again!

Ken & Diane from Pittsburgh were here
This is the sixth residence we rented over the last 12+ trips to the island. This house was amazing and topped our list. We had two couples in to share our experience this year and everyone raved about the accommodations. The pool was an added treat that soothed my aching hip. We love the access from Shipyard to the rest of the island. You are in the centre of everything! On our next trip, we'd love to stay here. We felt so at home, and thank you for sharing your home with us. P.S. Everything we thought we forgot to bring was already here.

Perfect Spring Break - Amazing Outdoor Space
The pictures of the backyard don't do this property justice. The pool, gazebo and deck (with fire pit) was amazing. We ended up ordering take out and grilling for several nights because we were having such a good time outdoors we didn't even want to go out for dinner. The pool was well taken care of and the kids loved it. The gazebo is now screened in too, which kept the bugs away. The is also a very large yard for hunting lizards which our 11 year old did daily. The back grill we used and was tremendous. Many rentals cheap out here and this property did grilling right. Inside, all the rooms were immaculately cleaned and tidy. Plenty of space and perfect for a family of 4. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and was nicely stocked with dishes, etc. Beach towels, amenities were great. The property mgmt company had a welcome gift when we arrived and had nice little starter packs for dishes, etc. Beach towels were provided and plentiful. Exceeded expectations. We have stayed in the past at Sea Pines and were pleasantly surprised with how much we liked Shipyard Plantation. While not as ritzy as Sea Pines, it was quiet and provided great biking and walking opportunities. The only downside is there is only one beach access point for Shipyard. It was easy enough to drive to and/or bike though and certainly didn't take away from the experience in a major way. We would definitely stay here again.

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

“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.
