House was clean and well maintained. Proximity to beach was awesome. Beach wagon and bikes were a big plus. The only downsides were insufficient amount of toilet paper allocated and uncomfortable beds. Pool cleaning schedule was excellent. Well stocked kitchenware and everything worked.

The house was just as it looked in the pictures and was perfect for our family. It was a short walk to the beach so we were able to spend a lot of time at the beach and the pool which made the kids happy. Also had plenty of games and puzzles. We loved it. Only problem we had was the fridge but we were given a loaner. The rental company is great with lots of extra little gifts.

Wonderful home and location
We have been vacationing in Sea Pines for over a decade, and 5 Piping Plover was by far our favorite vacation in Sea Pines. We loved the short walk to the beach and the private pool. The home was warm, clean, and welcoming, meeting all of our family’s needs. The Vacation Company was excellent to work with. Thanks for a wonderful week of great family memories!

Location and House excellent
We loved the house only issues were the pool Didn’t not have a railing as shown in photos and fix was poor. We chose this house because we had small child and seniors who need pool railing. Dog hair under furniture and in recliner, we had crawling child so that mattered. Need outlets by beds - the back king did not have. Great location highly recommend!

Lovely home, clean & close to the beach!
We stayed at 5 Piping Plover in May and had an absolutely wonderful time! The house was VERY clean and very close to the beach (4 houses down the beach path). Our 3.5 year old and 1.5 year old had a great time and the house is very kid friendly. The bedrooms are all located on the right side of the house with the living room area in the middle and the kitchen/dining and screened room to the left. Our boys loved the screened room and the swimming pool (we did have the pool heated). This was our second time renting from The Vacation Company and we will be renting again!

This is the second time that our family has stayed at 5 Piping Plover and it's a perfect house for a family with a dog. The house has 4 bedrooms, a nice size family room and it has a nice screened-in porch that overlooks the pool. The house is less than 100 steps from the beach and the owners have everything you need to stay in and cook if so desired.

The Perfect Vacation Home!
I have stayed at 5 Piping Plover four times now and consider it to be the ideal vacation home in Sea Pines. It is in the perfect location, being so close to the beach and the home itself is absolutely adorable and incredibly comfortable. I most recently stayed with a group of girlfriends and we all loved our stay. In past years we have stayed in this cozy home with my family and another family. The house has everything We need and more to make us feel right at home! The heated pool and beautiful back yard is the icing on the cake! Anytime we head to Hilton Head in the future we plan on staying here! The owners keep the furnishings and decor fresh and up to date and it is impeccable maintained . Lovely, lovely place!!

Fantastic Beach Vacation
House is gorgeous and stocked with anything you could possibly need. Spent a great vacation there with two other couples plus kids and we had plenty of space. House is a very short walk to the beach and we loved being able to come back after a day at the beach and enjoy time in the pool. The screen porch was a perfect place for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Would highly recommend this property - we will be back!

There's a house getting built right beside this house and we got woken up every morning at 8AM! But the house itself is very nice and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. A keurig should definitely be added. The trash and recycling never got picked up from the previous guest apparently and also while we were there!

This property was great for us, our kids, and our grandkids. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach and the marina. We took bike rides to Harbor Town as well.

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.
