Which Kind of Stay Fits You
The best place to stay in Hilton Head depends less on the address than on who is coming and how long. Hilton Head accommodations and lodging come in five kinds, compared here; the best places to stay in each kind are below.
Best for: A week built around pools, on-site dining, golf or tennis, and something for the kids to do.
You get: Service and amenities in one place, often with a beach or pool day already arranged.
Watch for: You pay for the amenities. Ask what the rate includes, and whether parking or a resort fee is extra.
Best for: A short stay, a trip around one event or one round of golf, or a shoulder-season weekend.
You get: The simplest booking: a room, a front desk and no cleaning fee.
Watch for: Most rooms have no full kitchen, and not every hotel is on the ocean. Only the oceanfront ones put you on the sand.
Best for: Families and groups staying a week: a kitchen, laundry and far more space per dollar than a room.
You get: The island’s most common form of lodging, from one-bedroom condos to oceanfront houses.
Watch for: Peak-summer weeks run Saturday to Saturday, and fees vary by company. Many sit behind a gate.
Best for: Anyone who wants resort-style villas and a fixed week, owners and renters both.
You get: Villas with kitchens at the island’s Marriott, Palmera, Spinnaker and Hilton Grand Vacations resorts.
Watch for: Renting from an owner can carry different cancellation rules than booking with the resort.
Best for: Travelers bringing their own rig who want a hookup, not a room.
You get: A site, a pad or a motorcoach lot, at your own pace.
Watch for: There are few sites, and the best-known RV resort with “Hilton Head” in its name is across the bridges in Bluffton.
Rental homes are the island’s dominant lodging, which is why the rental sections below are the longest. If you want a rental and resort amenities too, resort day passes sell pool and facility access to people who are not staying there.
Resorts
Resorts trade space for service: pools, dining, golf and tennis access and programs for children. Some sit on the beach itself and others a short drive from it. Where to stay in Hilton Head on the beach is the oceanfront page’s question, and the hotels-on-the-beach list there is the short answer.
Every Hilton Head resort in one place: oceanfront resorts, Marriott and Palmera villas, Shipyard stays, Harbour Town and inns, with booking links.
The luxury resorts on Hilton Head Island and why each earns the word: Forbes and AAA ratings, spas, oceanfront settings and one resort just off the island.
Hotels and resorts with their own frontage on the Hilton Head beach, from Coligny to Port Royal, with the ones a few blocks back left off.
Hilton Head has no Caribbean-style all-inclusive resort. One wellness resort includes meals, and these packages and stays come closest.
Pet and dog friendly hotels on Hilton Head: which resorts take dogs, weight limits, nightly pet fees, and the two resorts that are pet-free.
Use a Hilton Head resort's pool, beach and spa for the day without booking a room. Four resorts sell day passes; here is what each includes.
Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort, the HHI Disney resort: villas, two pools, Tide Me Over and a free shuttle to the beach club. What to know first.
Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort at 23 Ocean Lane in Palmetto Dunes: three pools, suites with kitchenettes, HH Prime, Buoy Bar and beachfront weddings.

Beach House Hilton Head Island, the oceanfront hotel at Coligny Beach: pool, Tiki Hut, The Porch and its Holiday Inn past. Not Disney’s Beach House.

The Hilton hotels on Hilton Head Island are the DoubleTree and the Hilton Head Beachfront Resort & Spa. The Hilton Garden Inn is in Bluffton on Fording Island Road, not on the island; the Marriott, Hampton, Holiday Inn and other chains are below.

Practical Notes
Rental weeks still run largely Saturday to Saturday in peak summer, and the best-located homes book months out. April through May, and September into October, are the sweet spot on both price and weather; the weather guide has the month-by-month numbers.
Many rentals sit inside gated communities that charge for vehicle passes and limit beach parking, so confirm what your booking includes before you arrive. Hilton Head Island beach vacations work best when you know which beach your address uses: the beach guide lists every one.
Watch: Where to Stay on Hilton Head Island: 5 Areas
Where to stay on Hilton Head Island depends on the trip. Sea Pines, at the southern tip, has Harbour Town, its lighthouse and more than 15 miles of bike trails. Palmetto Dunes, mid-island, has three miles of oceanfront, the Omni and three golf courses behind one gate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Updated
Where should I stay on Hilton Head to be on the beach?
Five hotels and resorts sit directly on the sand: Beach House on Coligny Beach, the Omni in Palmetto Dunes, Hilton Beachfront, the Westin in Port Royal and Sonesta in Shipyard. Villas on the beach are at Marriott’s Grande Ocean and Barony Beach Club, Ocean Oak and Beach & Tennis, and rental companies rent oceanfront condos and houses. See hotels on the beach and oceanfront rentals.
Is it better to stay in a resort, a hotel or a vacation rental on Hilton Head?
A rental home, villa or condo suits families and groups staying a week: a kitchen, laundry and more space per dollar. A resort suits a week built around pools, dining, golf or tennis. A hotel suits a short stay with no cleaning fee. Rentals are the island’s most common lodging, and peak-summer weeks run Saturday to Saturday.
Are there bed and breakfasts on Hilton Head Island?
Very few. The closest inns are in Bluffton, across the bridge: May River Manor and Old Town Bluffton Inn. For a small, independent stay on the island, see the boutique hotels on the hotels page.
Where should a family stay on Hilton Head?
Most families rent a villa or a house for the space and the kitchen. For a resort, Sonesta runs Kids Crew for ages 5 to 12, the Omni has a children’s splash pad and Marriott’s Grande Ocean has a lazy river. See family-friendly resorts.
When is the cheapest time to stay on Hilton Head?
December through February, outside the holiday weeks. April through May and September into October balance price and weather; summer and the RBC Heritage week in April cost the most.
