Ocean Oak Resort is a Hilton Grand Vacations club on South Forest Beach Drive, in the Forest Beach area of Hilton Head Island. Hilton Grand Vacations, the timeshare company that spun out of Hilton, runs it. Its members stay on points, and the resort also lists rooms for nightly guests on Hilton’s own booking page.
The suites are two-bedroom, two-bath units with a full kitchen and separate living and dining areas, sized for five or six people. Forest Beach is the beach in front of the resort, and Coligny Plaza is a short trip away.
The Suites at Ocean Oak
Each suite has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Reviewers describe the rooms as spacious and clean, and several single out the ocean views.
Pools and Resort Amenities
Ocean Oak has two resort pools: a zero-entry pool with spray features and a sun shelf, and a lap pool for swimming. There are hot tubs, a fire pit, a fitness center and a recreation center for game and movie nights. A poolside restaurant and a small market sell food and snacks; one reviewer noted the beach bar and restaurant close at 5 p.m., so plan dinner elsewhere.
The Beach at Ocean Oak
Guests use the resort’s private access to the beach on Forest Beach, and bikes and kayaks can be rented to explore beyond it. Parking on the property is tight in busy weeks, a complaint that comes up in reviews.
Booking and the Hilton Grand Vacations Connection
Ocean Oak belongs to Hilton Grand Vacations, which is separate from Hilton’s hotels, so the Hilton Honors rules that apply at the Hilton Head Beachfront Resort or any other Hilton hotel do not automatically apply here. Nightly rooms are booked through the resort’s page on hilton.com; for the resort itself, call (843) 342-8400. Timeshares, how they work on the island and what Hilton Grand Vacations owns here are covered on our timeshare pages.
