Description Description
It's all fun, sun, and games at this 5th-row ocean island treasure. It's nestled on a secluded cul-de-sac among swaying Palmetto trees and moss-draped live oaks. Genuine southern hospitality from the large front porch welcomes you. Once inside, you will first notice the open-concept living area, dining area, and custom kitchen. Just steps away from the living room, you can let all your worries float away in the sea breeze on the expansive screened-in porch. This overlooks a backyard island oasis with every possible creature. Comfort from a pool and hot tub to a stone patio with a built-in fire pit, a hammock strung between two palms, and another screened-in porch where you can play ping pong or watch your favorite game poolside on the TV.

5A Hickory Lane
We had a fantastic Thanksgiving week staying at 5A Hickory Lane! Perfect for a large group with en-suite bathroom for each bedroom- beds very comfortable and kitchen equipped with everything you could possibly need. Communication with Vacation Company for all arrangements and questions was excellent. We will definitely be back to stay at this home!

Where shall I begin...over the past 20 years, we as family have taken beach vacations and this home that we were allowed to use is the BEST. When taking a vacation in October we are at the mercy of the weather and this vacation it didn't cooperate. We had a couple of good days of sunshine and warm temperatures but we played tag with the rain throughout the week. I am telling you this because the amenities that came with house were excellent. We had a very warm pool that was used by both the children and the adults along with the hot tub even during the rain. The place also has an excellent ping pong table that we used everyday. Concerning the property itself it was immaculate. The kitchen had everything we needed and the equipment was in good shape. The place has a bathroom in every bedroom, which was great and they were in good shape. The space that the property offers, allowed us not to be cramped even though we had 4 families living there. The place has 3 covered porches which all were used because of the rain as well as having a great place to start and end the day. We used the grill several times but one of the reasons we chose this area was having lots of restaurants. The people, the Vacation Company (the management), were very good at communication... during the whole process we didn't have to contact them...they were always contacting us to make sure we were good to go. We will definitely use this place again. All of us would give this place a 5 star recommendation.

The house was beautiful, and just as it was pictured and described in the listing. The walk to the beach was very easy, especially with the two beach wagons that were provided at the house. The elevator was a definite bonus for bringing things in at the beginning of our stay and then when taking things out at the end. We did leave a couple of small things behind accidentally after we checked out. The management company was so responsive in finding the items quickly and getting them in the mail to us. We would definitely stay at this house again.

House was perfect for our 3 families. Plenty of room, well stocked with kitchen gadgets/utensils, towels and beach gear. The house was clean, well laid out and the rooms were super spacious. Service was also top notch. We had a problem with one of the ac units and within minutes after calling service was on their way and it was fixed within a few hours.

Thank you so much for your gracious review. This time of year AC calls are a big priority for us as you can imagine. We’re so glad we could meet your expectations and hope to see you again in the future.

Great property with all the extras!!
The "Shore thing" is one of the top properties we have stayed in on Hilton Head! The layout with TV rooms, dining table and kitchen in all one open area fit our group perfectly. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms very clean! The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking your own meals! The hot tub looked brand new and got a lot of use without having to heat the pool. The house comes with a full size corn hole set, 4 new beach cruisers, beach chairs and wagons. Loved this house and will stay here again!!

Wonderful Home
5A Hickory Lane was a great house for our big group (kids ages 2-17 plus parents and grandparents) to gather recently and ride out Tropical Storm Debby. The house is exceptionally comfortable and functional with every amenity provided. The downstairs fridge came in handy for storing a 1/4 sheet birthday cake, and the beach wagons were great for hauling chairs, toys, etc. At least a dozen beach towels were provided so we never had to use the ones we brought. Beach access through the short path right across South Forest Beach was tricky after the storm came through, with huge puddles across the path - not surprising after 10 inches of rain. There is a public beach access at Alder Lane just a half mile up the road (via the bike path or you can drive and park nearby) that is asphalt with a Mobi beach mat to get you all the way to the beach. The bikes were in good shape but note they do not have baskets or water bottle holders, so plan to bring a CamelBak or backpack. Fantastic property and rental experience! We would definitely return.

Great vacation house
Overall, a really nice house - clean, spacious, good amenities and a relatively short walk to the ocean (flat 5 minute walk). Four stars. Kitchen and dining area was spacious, with plenty of seating and room for our 12 person group. Bathrooms were all clean and updated with - with 5 showers it made getting ready for evening dinner easy with a big group. Overall, really nice home in a good quiet/private area. We would come back. Couple of minor things we would offer for consideration that would take this to a five star knock out rating: 1). Bedrooms: There was room in the bunk bedroom to get an additional single bed, would have avoided one child from sleeping on the pull out in the rec room. Also, Would love to see the bedroom with two full beds be two queens (there is room) - just a little tight for two teens on a full. 2). We struggled outside with a bit of a fly problem. No clear garbage source - management gave us citronella candles to help but was not able to do other treatments. 3). Finally, a suggestion for the bottom floor: unfortunate to have to pay extra for hot tub and fire pit when spending a significant amount on peak week pricing. Would rather see those replaced with a wood burning pit (no charge for gas) and put a bar area where the hot tub is to have more entertaining space by the pool/patio. If you did that, could open up the bottom area and remove the screen for better TV viewing vs the current setup which is a bit separated.

5A Hickory Lane was complete from a well stocked kitchen of all the utensils you can imagine to bedrooms that were roomy and very comfortable, bathrooms in every bedroom and a beautiful swimming pool! The short walk to the beach was a real hit with the teenagers. The only complaint was the grill was difficult to operate. Needed cleaned and better instructions of operation. We had a wonderful family time together in this spacious home.

Family Trip to the Beach
We took a large group (13 total including multiple ages of kids and adults) and all had a wonderful time. The property was extremely clean, well maintained, and very well set up. The outdoor area is fantastic and a great way for the family to gather and spend time together. The beach was extremely easy to get to (access is directly across the street), and away from the busier and more crowded area around Coligny Plaza. Everything was simple, well communicated, and made for a fantastic trip. It’s hard for me to believe that any family wouldn’t enjoy this house

Awesome family vacation
Our family had an amazing vacation staying 5A Hickory . The interior layout of the house so comfortable and well thought out for families to spread out and relax with some elbow room . The back yard is wonderful to kick back and relax by the pool or have coffee in the morning with all the birds singing. Location is great with just a short walk to the beach . Overall we couldn’t have been happier with this house as an opportunity to spend a week at on our family vacation!

The Perfect Vacation Rental to Relax and Enjoy Hilton Head Island!
I felt like one of the "Rich and Famous" staying at this beautiful home! It had everything a visitor could want and more! First of all, the entire home is gorgeous! Very spacious and the furnishings and décor were lovely and tasteful. It was a great place to have our children and grandchildren and friends visit, since they were able to stay on the second floor which had three huge, gorgeous bedrooms and baths plus an amazing Livingroom area in the middle. We all had our own private space whenever we wanted it! The furniture and beds were all very comfortable, as well. The kitchen was amazingly stocked! It had every cookware, tableware, appliance and utensil that you could imagine...even a double oven! There were two huge dining tables and plenty of seating, as well as a large island in the kitchen. This provided plenty of room for large groups to eat, play games (many provided) and do puzzles (provided, as well.) The elevator was a great plus for us two 70+ yr old renters, too! My favorite room was the screened in porch overlooking the patio/pool area. We spent many hours out there on the couch sipping coffee (or wine!) and reading, relaxing or playing games at the table. The outside was wonderful, as well. It was very secluded at the end of the cul-de-sac and the grounds were amazing. We didn't get to use the beautiful pool, since it was February, but really enjoyed the Hot Tub and many fun lawn games (that they provided). The pools and grounds were frequently attended, too, while we were there so they were always in tip-top shape. We enjoyed the lovely, short walk to the beach and beach wagons and any chairs or beach toys that we needed were provided by the owner. If it wasn't beach weather, the first level area also provided many hours of fun ping pong games, too. We love the location! Private, beautiful, short walk to a very quiet beach area or a short walk or bike ride to Coligny Beach and all of the restaurants, shops and bars that surround that area. We spent a lot of time at the nearby Celebration Park, which is a must see if you have children in your party. So, obviously, we hated to leave and can't wait to go back!

Great house!
We enjoyed our stay at this house with our group of 12 (3 families). It was a bit farther away from the beach than we'd expected, and you need to cross a busy road, but was about 6-7 minutes walk, so not bad. The pool wasn't used, but looked very nice. We loved having the free standing jacuzzi hot tub! Overall it's a beautiful place and we enjoyed our visit.

Great house and location. Grill and elevator weren’t working but other than that, a perfect stay!! Comfortable space for 18 adults. Easy walk to the beach. Huge gathering area with open kitchen and living room. Pool area is great, too.I wish they had cleaned the pool midweek like some places do. Would definitely rent again!

Amazing house, OK property management
The house is amazing. This is our second time staying here. The property management is OK. The hot tub wasn't cleaned upon arrival and took a few days to get sorted out. We also paid extra for the gas fireplace and they forgot to leave the key for it or give instructions for that or the back gate. Otherwise it is the perfect house.

This home was absolutely amazing! It was spacious and had a great layout. Everyone had their own bathroom and the kids thought the bunk room was incredible! Very short walk to the beach. Pool and hot tub were fun to use as well.

Great stay, lovely house.
We loved our time with two other families at Hickory 5A. It’s a well done home with great space and amenities. Pool was great. Short walk to huge beach. Kitchen is great. Not a lot in the way of extra seasonings and pantry items but what they do have is good quality and enough for the 14 of us. We would love to come back.

Perfect vacation home!
The house was simply beautiful and exceptionally clean! We had 9 adults and 3 children with plenty of space for everyone. The pool and recreation areas were great! Our walk to the beach was very easy and took about 10 minutes. We had one issue when we arrived with the freezer not working properly and it was repaired within one hour!!! The whole experience was great! We highly recommend this great property and the management company was exceptional too!

We are very pleased to hear about your most recent visit to Hilton Head and greatly appreciate the feedback you have provided! This particular property is perfect, especially for families with kids, as you mentioned the very convenient recreation area. It is also nice to hear that the freezer issue was quickly resolved as we try to be as prompt as possible when any issues occur. We hope you plan to visit the island again soon as we would be more than happy to assist with any future rental needs you may have!

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:

“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.

The public is encouraged to stay updated on the project’s progress—including location schedules, an interactive map, photos, FAQs, and more. Please:
