Such a wonderful experience at Disney’s Hilton Head Resort!
Have never been but wanted to take a quick weekend trip with my daughter. Aside from flight delays, could not have gone better.
Quick 2 1/2 hr flight from LGA to HHH. From there you’re a quick 10-15 ride to the resort. We Uber’d but rent a car if you can.
Every cast member we met was pleasant and welcoming. Rooms are separated into several buildings and scattered throughout the property are amenities such as grills, hammocks, mini golf, etc. It’s an easy walk around the grounds but many people will rent bikes bc there are trails all over Hilton Head.
Our 2 bedroom was huge and had plenty of space to accommodate 9 people! It was clean, thoughtfully laid out, and there were outlets EVERYWHERE. A fully stocked kitchen would make it easy to prepare meals for our stay but there are so many wonderful restaurants in the area, you’ll really want to enjoy those.
There’s one simple yet tasty food option - Tide me Over - we went for breakfast and snacks and refillable water. You can get sundries and gifts and rent complimentary DVDs at the Market (but this seems to be changing in January). And they host free s’mores every night.
Because our time was so short we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the fishing or kayaking, but it looked so peaceful and relaxing.
There’s a shuttle that comes every 20 minutes or so to whisk you away to the private beach. There’s another quick service dining spot at the beach pool - Signals - which was great for lunch and treats. Before we arrived I reserved a set of umbrella and 2 chairs from ShoreBeach for $44. They were already set up by the time we arrived and couldn’t have been easier. For us it was well worth it for the day, but many visitors will purchase from the local Walmart and just discard/donate after their weeklong stay.
Finally - the beach was just perfect! Calm, warm waters where you could walk far out and still touch the ground. The sand was soft but the waters a bit murky. The only and biggest issue were 2 shark sightings during our visit. But lifeguards were quick to alert and clear the waters.
It truly was the quintessential Hilton Head beach experience - we can’t wait to visit again with the whole family. ☀️🏖️
