Great find on Hilton Head
Have not stayed at Shipyard previously, but very much enjoyed this property. Can drive a short way and park at the nice Shipyard Beach Club beach access. (With restrooms and snack shack). Or bike about 11 minutes on the beautiful shaded bike path if traveling light.Wonderful to enjoy the private pool after a day at the beach. A great place to relax. Recommend.

BEAUTIFUL HOME FROM HOME
What a fabulous home 71 Gloucester Road was. t was so clean and tidy and had everything that we could have wished for in a home. Thank you for providing so many extras ie toilet tissue, hand wash, laundry tabs etc. The pool was beautiful and our granddaughters loved having their own space and the surroundings were lovely. Thank you to the pool man for coming out every day to clean the pool. The bikes came in handy and were such good fun riding around the island. The Bank Bar and Restaurant next to the Shipyard entrance was a delight to go to and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this if you’re staying near by and easy to walk/bike to as well. We will definitely be back and would definitely recommend this wonderful house.

Beautiful home
We had a wonderful stay even with Hurricane/Tropical storm Debby. Separate living rooms worked well with two tweens and a babye of my family that has lived here for nearly 40 years had some water issues but much better now. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need as far as cooking. The home was beautiful
Lois O from Simpsonville, SC Sunday, August 4, 2024
Lois, we are so thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time! Unfortunately, the majority of our properties had the same water issue due to the amount of water that the Island encountered during Tropical Storm Debby. We hope to see you next year!

71 Gloucester-30 ft x 19 ft Pool & Golf Views. Ride your bike to the Beach
This space exceeded our expectations in the layout! All the bedrooms are at one end of the house and the living spaces and kitchen at the other end. So, as we were traveling with teen boys, they could stay up late and hang out without keeping us up! Big spacious living spaces, beds were pretty comfy too. Bikes were great and handy- easy to get around. Pool was nice too. Overall- happy with this stay.

71 Gloucester-30 ft x 19 ft Pool & Golf Views. Ride your bike to the Beach
This property is tucked away in the Shipyard Resort, in a very ideal location. It is surrounded by large beautiful trees and right on the golf course, while still being private. You can watch golf (through the trees) right from the pool! The home has a great layout and was clean and well appointed. We will definitely come back in the future. There was so much to do and the surroundings were very peaceful.

Great spot!
The property was as described in the listing. The pool was great. Very clean and the temperature was perfect. We went in late august so it was hot enough that we didn’t need to spend extra to hear the pool. The location was good as well. Close to the beach, restaurants, biking trails, golf courses ect. The only issue we had was that intermittently the AC would not run and the thermostat would go blank. This would last for several hours before it kicked back on. Not sure if it was mandatory shut off because of how hot it was to prevent the AC from working too hard. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the house was perfect for our family!

Great location, comfortable home, many fun nights by the house pool
We enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and the pool provides for good entertaining. Backs up to golf course which provides a nice view. The location is great. We biked to the beach and many great restaurants are easy biking distance. However getting friends through the Shipyard gate was a challenge.

Great pool, quiet neighborhood
This was our second stay at 71 Gloucester. The pool is our favorite part. Lots of sun in the backyard, view of the golf course from the pool,, you can pay to heat the water (we were there in late September and it was well worth it), you can turn on the light at night to swim, grill out right next to the pool, etc. What else do you need?! It’s an easy 10-15 min bike ride to the beach and bikes are included. There are backpack beach chairs in the garage (I think there may be two, not sure as we had our own). The kitchen is well stocked with anything you’d need to cook meals. Brand new fancy refrigerator. Oh and there is a ping pong table in the garage that is lots of fun. We love the home and will continue to return. After staying two times though the improvements that I believe are needed are: 1) floor of entire place should be mopped, not just vacuumed, between guests. This was input from our last visit too 2) need a smart TV in the main living area. Yes there is cable there, but in the day and age of streaming a smart TV is almost the price of entry. There is an HDMI cable off the TV which makes you think you could stream but the technology is too old and it does not work. There is a Roku in the twin bedroom but it’s on a tiny TV in a room you could not all gather to watch. Neither of these points would prevent us from recommending the home as we do love it. Just thoughts on improvements to make it even better.

The house was all that we expected. The property was well cared for and the neighborhood was perfect for riding the bikes along the trails. We spent a lot of time in the amazing pool and loved every minute of it. The family also enjoyed playing table tennis. The house had everything we needed and made for a great family vacation!

Great home, great location
This property was really the best of both world...so close to the beach and the heart of all things Hilton Head, however a very private community, where you could easily unwind. Very peaceful. The heated pool was a big win for our family, as well as the ping pong table. House looked better in person than online. Only complaint was the house wasn't as clean as we would have liked, nor what we've previously experienced with other properties.

Nice simple and cozy home
We tried to have a 1 level home with great location. This home is nice and cozy. Kids love the table tennis and the free bike rental. Love the bike trail and all the wonders of this community. Unable to use the pool as it’s too cold but kids wanted to come back in the summer. Good home and amenities with lots of space. Only bad part was Wifi internet is very poor. Not enough strength I needed to use my our own personal data instead.

Great space and lovely outdoors!
My family (5 adults) loved this house - the space layout was great, and the fact that it was mostly on one level was ideal. The house was immaculately clean and the backyard was perfect - in the sun, in different places, all day long. The pool was lovely, and the ping pong table was a great bonus! If you are booking because of the tennis facility it includes, you might want to call ahead and check with the tennis facility that they aren't hosting a lot of tournaments - those took priority over us so we didn't get as much as we would have liked - but the proximity to the beach and the warm weather certainly helped! The master closet could almost be a fourth bedroom - loads of room to get the suitcases out of the way, and truly relax!

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.

“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.
