This is a Great Service, and we hope that it continues. As usual, Surfwatch has been updates; fresh paint, new furniture, coffee pot, and other. In our view, we find value in our maintenance fees.... Surfwatch is well-managed property. Our practice is to lunch at Hudson's on arrival day; travel tip - skip the on-water deck and enjoy the views and lunch from A/C tables at windows. Surfwatch is home for the next two weeks; we have been visiting HHI for 60 years, and are HHI Marriott Vacation Club members for 20+ years - Our membership has resulted in Marriott exchanges to nearly all US Marriott Vacation Clubs including Hawaii. We like the mid-island location, and while we also own two weeks at Grand Ocean, we do enjoy Both properties. An advantage of autumn and spring ownership (especially autumn) is the mostly child free environment, and the many, many opportunities to converse with fellow senior citizens. My informal poll has yet to discover a discontented Marriott Vacation Club member. We agree owner fees are high, but bring good value.

The location to restaurants and shopping is great too! The one lady from concierge named Julie was really helpful and friendly when it came to reservations and recommendations. They offer a few events throughout the week for owners which is the final touch of what earned them this 5 star review.

We were originally planning to spend a three day weekend here. We spoke with someone at the hotel…read moreto arrange for our stay, when we spoke with this person he gave us two options since we had dogs. One was the basic suite on the first floor without any view, the other had a partial view of the ocean. We went with the partial view of the ocean though it was an additional 125 dollars a night. We are on VACAY, no biggie. So when we arrive, we get into our room after the Bellhop gets done slamming our things to the ground, tipped him, though probably shouldn't have. When we look outside our room, we see a big parking lot and not even a slightly partial view of any water other than the puddle in the parking lot from a previous rain. My wife goes down right away and says this isn't an upgrade, they first tell her, we were lucky to get a room, because they were overbooked (sounds like a you problem not an us problem doesn't it?). Then they proceed to tell her that it was an upgraded suite (I guess they don't realize we know how to use the internet, it was the most basic room and a Handicap room on top of it, we will get back to that debacle later). A few hours later, I go down to talk to the desk because I have just taken the dogs out for a walk and it was not very much fun walking in the parking lot, though they did have a few small grass islands which proved beneficial. I was also told that it was an upgraded room and that we should talk to a manager on checking out. I bring up the fact that after the stay if we complain, it does no good since we have implicitly agreed to the Terms and Conditions since we didn't leave and demand a refund immediately, he just smiles. After the first lovely night sleeping on a broken down mattress that is on a 3/4" piece of ply-wood that has a fabric wrap to allow for ease of use by people who are in wheelchairs. It is less comfortable than sleeping on the bathroom floor. I know this because our dogs get off the bed after about an hour and go sleep on the floor, something they never would do at our house with our plush Kings Down Mattress and Box Spring, we notify the desk we are checking out early. No problem. Then at checkout, the manager is amazingly not available though the check out host asks why we are leaving early, he then proceeds to tell us that we were not charged for an upgraded room (Again Bobo, we know how to use the internet, we paid an additional 125 dollars a night for an upgraded room). The only saving grace is that the beach which was about a half a mile walk for us, was a nice diversion for the dogs. Do not waste your money on this debacle of a "resort". No excuse for the lies we were told by the hostesses and hosts at the front desk, that is inexcusable to outright lie multiple times to your guests. Cheers, hope your visit to Hilton Head Island is better than ours.

Despite that, The place is always incredibly clean,comfortable and friendly so this is the place we always want to stay on Hilton head Island. The rooms are so well kept that they look brand new. They are more than adequately equipped with huge bathrooms and bedrooms and a nice balcony. There's a restaurant actually a couple of places to eat that are across the Laguna where you can walk to eat. This isn't a kid's only place either. Adults find it equally fun and enjoyable whether you'll be sitting in a hammock, swimming in the pool,doing a fitness walk around the property or watching the squirrels and birds. Kids enjoy it when Chip and Dale come around. There are numerous activities to keep the kids busy. This is not a character centric resort but more on the relaxing side. Every person who works here is friendly and polite, and willing to help with anything you need. You truly feel like you are valued here. Outside of the resort, there is plenty of shopping up and down the main road. You won't be bored here at Disney, trust me.

I am at the stage in my life where I have time to relax, I can put everything on the back burner and take a two week vacation. On this past trip, I was able to get off the cruise ship in Miami, stop in for a quick hello at my father in laws house and then head up north. Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort was the perfect stop. This year I planned for a two night stay at the property. We reserved a two bedroom unit with a magnificent view of the low country coastal marsh. Birds and assorted wild life are flying by, it can't get more picturesque from what I'm seeing from our private deck. *From September 8, 2025, through March 2026, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort will undergo exterior maintenance. You may see and hear construction and refurbishment work during daytime hours. They got rid of the ESSO sign! I'm glad to see Disney is making the investment on this property. Our room looks great, it seems like they first worked on all of the interior rooms. We just stayed at the Boardwalk Hotel, this two bedroom had the same contemporary feel. The Murphy Bed is similar to The Boardwalk, it's a great design. The question is, is it really a "Disney" hotel? I own points in Disney Vero Beach, Vero Beach is a true Disney hotel. Wanna know something? If I'm driving back to NY from a Disney Orlando Hotel, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is my next stop. Thank you Disney for investing in the property and giving it that Disney magic feel.

However, given the location of the price I would've expected a little bit more bells and whistles than what I observed and saw. They have very nice pools the outside. They also have an indoor pool that is very nice. Had plenty of folks at the outdoor bar. That was the most staffed location at the business which tells me that's their focal point they wanna make sure they sell plenty of alcoholic beverages. I certainly don't regret them of that. I just noticed the focal point but based on the service level is what you see is what smacks you in the middle of the face when you get there is that that's really what they're there for.

I stayed here as a guest on an extended invitation, and overall it was a pleasant…read moreexperience--especially if you're looking for a comfortable, family-friendly resort right on the beach in Hilton Head. This property is set up like a timeshare-style resort, with clusters of buildings, multiple pools, hot tubs, and direct beach access. The location itself is lovely, and the grounds are well maintained and very walkable. Every morning we took long walks through the property and along the beach, passing beautiful homes and neighboring resorts, which made for a really peaceful start to the day. We stayed in one of the newer buildings, and the two-bedroom, two-bath unit was spacious and very comfortable. It had everything you'd want for a longer stay--full kitchen, dishwasher, laundry, balcony, and covered parking in a secure garage. The beds were comfortable, the sheets were great, and I appreciated having a ceiling fan and a window that could open for fresh air. Those small touches matter when you're settling in for several days. The pool and hot tub areas were nice, especially at the building farther from the beach, which felt quieter and less crowded. The hot tub in particular was fantastic--large, hot, and with strong jets that did wonders for sore muscles after a day of walking. Being able to go from the hot tub straight into a cool pool was a real treat. Now, a realistic note: We visited during spring break, so the energy level was high and very family-oriented. Lots of kids, lots of noise--which is totally expected for a resort like this. I don't dislike kids at all, but if you're someone who prefers a quieter, adults-only vibe, just know this is very much a family destination. An adults-only pool would have been a welcome option. A few other observations that might help future guests: * The trolley system runs roughly 9-5, which is convenient for getting around the property. * Direct beach access is a big plus, but renting chairs and umbrellas can be pricey and requires online reservations. * Bike rentals are available but also on the expensive side. * Most amenities come with an added cost--nothing unusual for a resort, but worth planning for. Service-wise, the staff was responsive. They offer a text-to-concierge system, which is convenient. When I asked for certain items, they couldn't provide them directly but did offer housekeeping assistance, which I appreciated. As for the room itself, everything was clean and functional. The shower pressure could have been stronger, and the tub area looked like it had some recent caulking work, but nothing that affected the overall comfort of the stay. Bottom line: This is a solid, comfortable beach resort with good value for the space and amenities, especially for families or groups traveling together. It's not ultra-luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises--a safe, well-maintained place to relax near the ocean. For me, the best part of the trip was simply being with friends, enjoying the beach, and having a comfortable home base to unwind. And if you plan to do a lot of walking or hiking around the property, take it from me--bring proper moisture-wicking socks. Your feet will thank you later.
