Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort Amenities
Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort is located on a 15-acre island within Hilton Head Island, at the southernmost tip of the South Carolina coast. A pine-floored, beam-ceilinged den in the resort's main building—which is called Live Oak Lodge—includes a pool table, game tables, a TV, and deep leather seats. Coffee is provided in the lobby every morning and lemonade throughout the day—both are complimentary. Hammocks, Adirondack chairs, and rope swings are scattered throughout the resort, offering additional places to relax. Disney's Discovery Club offers supervised activities for children age 3–12 and, once or twice weekly, a night out with activities and dinner (surcharge). Depending on the season, various family activities are offered, some complimentary and some for a fee. These activities include puppet shows, magic shows, gyotaku (Japanese fish printing), kayak tours, cooking classes, nature walks, and campfire nights featuring singing, dancing, and s'mores. Complimentary charcoal grills are available for guests to cook outdoors. A fitness center contains cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights. A kiosk in the lobby provides high-speed Internet access (surcharge). And a general store on site sells sundries, beverages, beer and wine, ice cream, snack foods, gifts, and clothing, and rents video movies.

Recreation
The resort has three pools (heated in winter), including two at the main resort and another 1.5 miles away at the 13,000-square-foot Disney’s Beach House, which faces three miles of Atlantic Ocean beach. The main-resort pool complex is composed of a long, irregularly shaped pool with a spiraling, 70-foot-long waterslide; a large toddlers' pool; and a 25-person spa tub. On the second floor above the pool complex, an air-conditioned Community Hall contains a big-screen TV and features activities such as bingo. Complimentary shuttles zip guests to the 3.5-acre Disney’s Beach House complex, which includes a 50-foot-long, H-shaped pool; a toddlers' area with a soft floor and water-spurting beach balls; and a Coast Guard–themed clubhouse with a big-screen TV and table games, a small room with coin-operated video games, and a covered area with ping-pong and foosball tables. Fishing and crab netting is available off the end of a long, weathered-wood dock that juts out over a marsh to Broad Creek, the estuary running through Hilton Head Island. (Rental gear is available and no license is required.) The resort's naturalist leads complimentary tours of the marsh and also offers bird-watching excursions and after-dark astronomy lessons. Shuffleboard, horseshoes, and bocce are available at the main resort. In addition, the resort also rents out adult, child, and adult-child tandem bicycles with fat tires suitable for the beach and the island's hundreds of miles of bike paths. Rental kayaks are available for use on Broad Creek and nearby lagoons. At Disney's Beach House, an independent operator on the beach rents chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards as well as ocean kayaks, AquaBikes, sailboats, and low-slung three-wheel beach buggies. The 2,000-acre Palmetto Dunes residential/resort community, of which Disney's Beach House is a part, features three golf courses: the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront, the George Fazio, and the Arthur Hills. Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center offers 23 clay and two Nova ProBounce courts (eight are lighted for night play). Instruction is available. A half-mile away on Broad Creek, the Mediterranean village–style Shelter Cove Harbour offers deep-sea and inshore fishing charters, sport crabbing, sailboat and power-boat rentals, sightseeing and nature excursions, and dinner cruises. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.

Features
What to expect: Families come to this expansive, homey resort with an abundance of recreational options during the busy summer and winter-holiday seasons. Autumn is popular for golfers. And during the winter months, romance-minded couples take advantage of the resort's secluded, tranquil, and comfortably low-key ambience.
Amenity highlights: The resort features a pool complex with two heated pools (one for young children), a spiraling waterslide, and a spa tub large enough for 25 people. An additional, H-shaped pool is located 1.5 miles away at Disney’s Beach House, which faces three miles of ocean beach and contains a clubhouse with games and a toddlers' area with a soft floor and water-spurting beach balls.
Insider tip: During summer months, resort guests enjoy close-up views of Tuesday-night community fireworks, which are launched from a barge anchored in the Broad Creek estuary 100 yards off the resort's dock.
Tide Me Over - This take-out window is adjacent to the pool and open year-round. Open-air seating is available at picnic tables on a wooden deck overlooking the marsh, and breakfast and lunch menus are available along with tropical drinks.

Surfman's Sand Bar - Located at Disney’s Beach House, this bar serves tropical drinks, snacks, and light meals from late morning to early evening during summer. Signals - This quick-service spot is also located at Disney’s Beach House, and is open from late morning to early evening during summer for snacks and light meals. During the summer, barbecue buffets take place by the main resort's pool on Tuesday nights, with magic shows, story-telling, singing, DJ music, and views of community fireworks from a barge set in the Broad Creek estuary 100 yards off the resort's dock.

| We just got back from Disney's Hilton Head Resort and we loved it! We are a large family (5 children), so the 2 bedroom villa, which sleeps 8, was perfect for us. We were very impressed. The location is quiet, yet adventure is close by. The week we went in mid-May was perfect. Since we went in the off-season, the pool and the beach were not crowded at all and we could relax. The resort staff offers a variety of activities each day, some for free, others for a small fee. The villa was huge, housekeeping brought fresh towels every day, and having a kitchen and washer and dryer in the villa was very convenient and cost-effective. We enjoyed the free music at the marina, too. We'd love to go back.

| We would recommend this hotel to ANYBODY. We rented a 2 bedroom villa and the view of the estuary was super; we saw dolphins from our room! The resort is located behind Shelter Cover Harbour. It is very private and secluded, and is not advertised openly like the other resorts, which is why Disney refers to it as a "best-kept secret". It was beautiful to walk along the Harbour and visit the shops and restaurants; everything on the island was kept in pristine condition, from the landscaping to the sidewalks. We went in Feb. and it was as if we were the only ones there. The weather resembled NY's spring (75-degree, sunny day followed by a 55-degree day with some showers) and is considered to be their "winter" season. However, we would return during that time because most days we were the only ones out and about! You can rent fishing equipment (which we did) and fish off Disney's pier, and you can rent bikes; we rented bikes and rode them to Disney's Beach House (1.3 mi. away), which was great. Room service came everyday, giving us toiletries and laundry soap. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and had new appliances... they even provided Tupperware! The beds were comfy, and there was a TV in each bedroom as well as in the living room with a DVD player; the bathrooms were spacious and modern. From the decor to the friendly service, you couldn't ask for a nicer, more beautiful place to stay--we said many times that the Disney resort was the nicest one on the island.
