About this villa rental

This spacious townhouse villa is located just a short walk away from 12-miles of white, beautiful, sandy BEACHES. The exclusive Shipyard Plantation is a gated community that provides its own private beach access for owners and guest convenience. The plantation is surrounded by some of the best golf courses in the world, miles of paved biking paths with palm trees and oak trees covered in Spanish moss, professional tennis courts and gorgeous sunny beaches.

Professionally decorated with new furniture and fresh paint, this villa is one you’ll just have to see to believe! Recently added more modern lighting throughout first floor and a new 65-inch TV in living room!!

Our two bedroom, 2.5 bath townhouse offers all the comforts of home. We have a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. There is a small breakfast nook AND a nice dining area for plenty of seating. There are two large bedrooms with a King bed in EACH room. Both bedrooms have their own private baths, TV, and private balcony. One bedroom has a sitting area, and the other bedroom has a brand-new trundle bed with 2 additional twin-size beds for extra guests. A spacious living room connected to the dining area provides an open concept floor plan for our guests to relax. There is a brand-new queen-size pullout sofa bed for added sleeping area. There is also a large, oversized, back deck that comfortably seats 6. The covered deck also offers a beautiful view of the pool provided for Tennis Master guests only. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the outdoor views from all angles.

Between the BEACHES. golf, WATER SPORTS, shopping, tennis and biking I think it is safe to say there is truly something for everyone's vacation enjoyment, which is why Hilton Head Island is so special and well worth the visit. Once you visit Hilton Head Island, you'll understand why so many people choose to vacation here year after year.


One of the popular attractions in the Shipyard Plantation is the nationally renowned Van Der Meer Tennis Center where guests can take tennis lessons daily from tennis professionals and pros. Check out the Van Der Meer official tennis website for more details. You will be very impressed with the quality of their tennis courts and the wide variety of tennis lessons/clinics available for all ability levels.

While tennis is certainly popular here on the island, most people would agree that GOLFING is one of the most popular leisure activities. HHI offers some of the most pristine public and private golf courses in the country that attract many visitors, including celebrities.

Home to 26 championship GOLF courses, designed by golf architects like Robert Trent Jones Sr., Pete Dye, and Jack Nicklaus; it's no surprise that HHI has been voted as one of the Top-10 golf destinations in the world (according to Golf Digest). In fact, the island is a PGA TOUR event destination, as well as the host of the annual RBC Heritage Classic in the spring.

Hilton Head Island has GOLF courses for ALL ability levels, including oceanfront courses, as well as traditional parkland courses. One beautiful golf course is so close, it is just across the street from our townhome.

In addition to wonderful golf and tennis don't forget to check out the many different types of outdoor WATER SPORTS available in Hilton Head. There is a wide variety of things to choose from including kayaking with dolphins, jet skiing, sailing, and deep-sea fishing. There truly is something for everyone!

Special Beach Note: Sea Turtle Patrol monitors Hilton Head Island beaches for SEA TURTLE nesting and hatching activity annually, May through October, to promote the existence of these endangered species and to spread awareness of their struggle through public education and outreach. With careful planning and patience, you may be blessed to witness a hatchling racing to the ocean water using a special red flashlight. Our kids were amazed when they witnessed this on the Hilton Head Island beach at night.

SHOPPING divas don't despair! There is plenty of shopping to enjoy on the island also. One of the most popular shopping destinations on the island is the Coligny Shopping Plaza located close to the beach with many original stores and boutiques to choose from. If you are more of a bargain shopper, check out the Tanger Outlet Mall just a short drive to the 'main' land (about 20 minutes away from Shipyard). Amazing deals on brand name items and a great variety of stores to choose from makes this a nice shopping destination. Lastly, checkout Harbor Town by the light house for more unique shopping choices located near the lighthouse and in a boat marina setting.

If FOOD is your passion, there are many wonderful places to choose from! Our favorite dining places include, but are not limited to, One Hot Mamas, Smoke House (excellent barbecue), Salty Dog Cafe (by the water), Skull Creek Boat House (with beautiful outdoor dining along the water) and Aunt Chilada's with authentic Mexican food. If you enjoy an outdoor beer garden check out the new addition called, The Bank, where you can make beer "withdrawals", eat yummy food and watch large outdoor screens for sports, etc. There are various food trucks and even ice cream for the young at heart visitors to enjoy. Last, but not least, don't forget that since we are on an island, there is plenty of fresh seafood options available. We recommend the Carolina Crab Company and The Wreck restaurant over by the Salty Dog shopping area.

HHI is a NATURE LOVERS paradise full of interesting greenery and a multitude of wildlife (turtles, alligators, squirrels, deer, herons, crabs and many others). This may explain why one of the most popular past times on the island is bike riding. Guests come from all over the country to enjoy the MILES OF SCENIC BIKE PATHS that wind along lagoons, golf courses, and other popular outdoor locations such as Harbor Town. We highly recommend taking some time to go biking and explore all of the beauty that Hilton Head has to offer. Who knows, you may even get lucky and see some alligators basking in the sun along the bank of a lagoon. :) Throughout our stay we typically bike ride to restaurants and visit the beach daily.


SPECIAL Note:
Attentive owners make continuous updates including new king beds, new living room furniture, and fresh paint in January 2024. As a result, our townhouse villa has been booked full throughout the years since we purchased it in 2014 with many repeat renters.

We loved the townhouse which had great views of the pool and garden area. Loved the trails and short walk to the beach. The townhouse was clean and well stocked. We contacted the owners for the door code and they quickly responded. They were great to work with.

The unit was perfect for our family as it was steps from the pool, a 10-minute walk to the beach, and close to restaurants and shops! The unit was clean, and the owner was responsive during the trip.

We loved the location. So close to Sonesta. We walked our dogs to the Shipyard beach everyday. The outside deck over looking the pool was a special treat. Our family of 2 small dogs & young adult children really enjoyed our stay & would rent again.

The total experience at this property was amazing. Checking to checking out. The owners was so helpful with any questions asked. The beach was a short 10 min walk from the property inside the gated community. I would highly recommend this property and we will be returning on future beach trips.

Stayed here for four nights with our family and dog. We have stayed in Hilton Head at various units in Shipyard and Palmetto Dunes over the past ten trips, and this is the first one that the owners didn’t include the beach parking pass—-which is free for them to do. After speaking with gate agent, we confirmed it’s a simple form. Unfortunately, this meant that we had to schlep alllll the beach stuff that comes with two young kids and then come back and bike back every time we wanted to go to the beach. It was doable for this shorter trip, but would have been extremely troublesome for a week. The unit itself is in a good location (assuming you also get the parking pass). Loved being able to walk down to the pool—- it’s right there! Unfortunately, the deck is sagging and rotting out, railing falling off, and the underside is filled with wasps nests. I got stung. But the neighbors are super nice and pulled up with ice packs! Inside, it’s decorated nicely and the tvs are large. The other fixtures are outdated and not all work correctly. One bath doesn’t have a way to undo the shower switch to use the bath, the other has to have the faucet turned just so to have it turn off. None of the closet doors stay shut and since the bathrooms are super tiny, it gets very cramped and annoying. Drawers were very difficult to open or completely broken. No ceiling fans (bring your own). No baby gate or grill. Checkin Code wasn’t sent in advance and owner took more than 15 min to respond.

We had a great stay at this unit. Really enjoyed the location as it was easy bike ride to the beach. The back deck overlooking the pool was a nice place to relax. Beds were very comfortable which is at the top of our list for amenities! Owner was very responsive with any questions we had. Highly recommend.

Overall the villa was in a great location. We rented to attend the RBC Heritage Golf Tourney. We were disappointed there were no ceiling or stand fans to cool off rooms, and no BBQ for burgers. The furniture, new rugs, new paint were great updates. Location was easy to get too and many things in area. Would rent there again.
