A Guide to Vacation Homes on Hilton Head Island

A Getaway With the Gang

From schedules to spouses, childcare to careers, the demands of everyday life can sometimes mean that time with friends falls by the wayside. So if you’re fortunate enough to find time for a Lowcountry getaway with your favorite people, you’re going to want to make the most of every minute together. And what better way to do just that than by booking a vacation home with room for the whole gang?

Gather your closest pals together for the ultimate catch-up at 52 Ocean Breeze. Offered through Island Time Hilton Head, this charming, two-story condo is located in the heart of the action, just a short stroll from Coligny Plaza and Celebration Park. An inviting living space furnished with a plush sectional sofa leads out to a beautiful open-air balcony, perfect for spending quality time together. And with three generously sized bedrooms (each with its own private bathroom), your whole group can enjoy ample space to unwind at the end of each fun-filled day.

For larger groups looking to take advantage of the incredible amenities Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort has to offer, the five-bedroom oceanfront vacation home at 17 Brigantine is just the thing. Break bread together in the spacious, airy dining room, or soak up the sun on the deck of your private pool while savoring cool sea breezes and drinking in spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. Plus, as guests of a resort-managed vacation rental, your group can enjoy complimentary court time at Palmetto Dunes’ Tennis & Pickleball Center, special rates, and exclusive discounts on tee times, water sports, bike rentals, and more.

An Extended Workcation

Over the past few years, many people have elected to eschew the office in favor of the unmatched flexibility of a work-from-home lifestyle. But if you’ve ditched your hectic morning commute only to find yourself dogged by Zoom fatigue, it may be a sign that it’s time to shake things up with an extended “workcation” right here on Hilton Head Island.

Experience the Lowcountry like a local when you book a monthly stay at one of the incredible vacation homes, villas, or condos available through Beach Properties of Hilton Head. Perfectly appointed with luxurious furnishings, charming coastal décor, and a host of thoughtful touches, their curated selection of comfortable rentals offer the enticing change of scenery you’ve been yearning for.

Digital nomads will delight in an extended stay at 6 Cottage Court.

Enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of home with the fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry, and wireless internet. Plus, the dedicated games room equipped with a ping pong table offers plenty of opportunities to mix business with pleasure during your stay.

A Romantic Retreat

With bountiful dining options, year-round sunshine, and a seemingly endless expanse of beachfront to stroll, Hilton Head Island is the postcard-perfect setting for an intimate couple’s escape. And while a hotel room may feel like the classic choice for a getaway for two, you won’t want to sleep on the benefits of choosing a condo or villa for your next romantic retreat.

Whisk that special someone away to your own personal love nest when you book a beachside condo amid the coastal splendor of Sea Pines Resort. Spacious living and dining areas, an open-air balcony, and sweeping views of Calibogue Sound set the scene for an unforgettable experience, while practical touches like the fully equipped kitchen afford you the opportunity to spoil your better half with a thoughtful home-cooked dinner or surprise breakfast in bed.

Sea Pines also lets you enjoy the best of both worlds, combining the unmatched privacy and seclusion of a vacation rental with the convenience and unparalleled service of a resort stay. Take advantage of all this expansive resort community has to offer, including two complimentary hours of tennis for each day of your stay, along with preferred rates at championship golf courses like Harbour Town Golf Links and Heron Point by Pete Dye. As the old adage goes — the couple that plays together, stays together.

A Family Affair

It’s no secret that planning a family vacation can be a juggling act. From coordinating schedules and childcare to planning meals and activities that the whole crew will enjoy, pulling off that seemingly effortless getaway can turn out to be quite a bit of effort — especially when young kids are involved. Thankfully, Hilton Head Island boasts a wide array of vacation homes and villas designed to take the hassle out of family travel.
