Hilton Head Weekly Rentals

Travel Guide

Beaches, golf, and lowcountry secrets — how to make the most of a week on Hilton Head Island.

Hilton Head Island is twelve miles of beach, moss-draped oaks, and some of the best golf in the Southeast — wrapped in a barrier-island calm that keeps families coming back for generations. This is our quick local guide to planning your week.

Start with where to stay: each neighborhood has its own feel. Explore all of our neighborhoods, or jump straight to the two areas guests ask about most below.

Where to stay

Palmetto Dunes

Three miles of flat, hard-packed beach, a lagoon system you can kayak, and golf without leaving the gate. Our Palmetto Dunes homes — including 10 Junket and Palmetto Retreat — put you in the middle of it.

Where to stay

Forest Beach

The island's most walkable beach scene — steps to the sand, shops, and dinner. Beachside Haven sits right in the heart of Forest Beach.

On the island

Beaches, golf and bikes

Rent bikes and ride the beach at low tide, tee off at a championship course, and watch the boats at Harbour Town. Pack light — once you arrive, you rarely need the car. New to booking here? Read why guests book direct.
