Where you’ll stay in South Carolina

Three resorts are on Hilton Head Island. Marriott’s Barony Beach Club is oceanfront, with a lagoon-style pool, a seasonal waterslide and a splash pad, and golf courses nearby. Marriott’s Grande Ocean is on the Atlantic with direct beach access, several pools, tennis courts and bike trails close by. Marriott’s SurfWatch sits among sand dunes, salt marshes and live oaks, with a boardwalk to the ocean a short walk away and indoor and outdoor pools.

Up the coast in Myrtle Beach, Marriott’s OceanWatch Villas at Grande Dunes is in a gated community with direct beach access, several pools including one for adults, and golf nearby.

Harbour Town, Shelter Cove and Coligny Plaza are all near the three Hilton Head resorts.

Every stay is rented directly from an owner of the week. You don’t need a membership. One scowt handles your booking from your first question to check-in. Owners hold a villa type, such as a two-bedroom, not a set villa, so the resort assigns your villa when you arrive.

When to go

The best times to go are spring, April to June, and fall, September to November, with the best weather and fewer crowds. Summer is the busiest season, with warm ocean water and a full schedule of family activities.

In the busiest weeks, stays run 7 nights, weekend to weekend. Outside them, the minimum is 4 nights and check-in days are flexible. Check-in is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM.
