The Sea Pines Resort

We just returned from our annual family vacation at Sea Pines Resort. Our rental home was perfect - nestled in the beautifully shaded and landscaped resort - conveniently located and perfect for riding to the beach each morning. We rented our bikes from The Sea Pines Resort Bike Shop and appreciated the great condition of each bike and efficient service of the team there. We are counting the days until next year!

The black skimmer, Captan Steve/Ben and 1st mate Evan were the best. Went on a half day fishing trip and had tons of fun catching sharks. The crew were born and raised fishing on HHI. When I go back it will be with these fisherman. I highly recommend The Black Skimmer and Crew for all you fishing adventures.

We have rented from Sea Pines Bicycle Rental for several years now. The bikes are always there when we get there. I appreciate that they keep their bikes, updated and in great shape. Would highly recommend.|I always appreciate that on the last day. I like to go for a ride in the morning before we check out so I let them know and don’t pick up till late morning.

The Sea Pines Bike Shop crew should be commended for their amazing ability to accommodate such high demand! They do a wonderful job of prepping g orders and servicing g bikes. Thank you Bike Shop Team for taking great care of us during our stay!

Friendly, accommodating staff got me setup in no time. Bike was in good shape and the trail map they gave me was very helpful. I felt their day rental rate was very fair. The trail system in Sea Pines is beautiful. I will definitely use Sea Pines Bike Rentals the next time I visit the area!

Every encounter with Sea Pines staff was positive and genuinely friendly. The villa was impeccable and exceeded any expectations! The view of Harbour Town Links remains in my mind as a favorite memory while sitting on my patio. The setting was quiet, perfect, and picturesque. The grounds around the entire resort are well-kept and thoughtfully-designed. The facilities and amenities are unmatched and I believe there is nothing that comes close.

We came in a sprinter van and the resort has some rule about letting in RVs and even though our van is not an RV,the guy at the gate wouldn’t let our van in and we had to walk everywhere. The villas are at least 50 years old and lot of things are not working. The staff at the golf course act like they are doing us a favor. The weather was nice and the golf courses are decent. Overall whistling straits and pinehurst is a much better experience. I was here a few years ago and this was a much better place then

Love Sea Pines we have stayed here once before. Couldn’t wait to come back. We stayed in an Airbnb rental. Had a wonderful time exploring the marina, playground, pool, lighthouse, shops and restaurants. Love how much is on the grounds to explore. Very family friendly.

We loved 2455 Inland Harbor. It was stocked with most everything we needed + a bunch of stuff we didn't realize we needed - family games, plush blankets, extra pillows, DVD's, books, good quality glasses, dishware, kitchen tools and serving bowls. Sitting with the patio door open, listening to the fountain outside was so relaxing. Loved the upgraded kitchen & bathrooms. Loved the decor and comfy furniture. Having an ice maker and filtered water dispenser in the fridge was nice. Didn't realize we needed to bring our own shampoo and hand soap, plus TP & tissues. Sea Pines is a beautiful area - lots of lush greenery, beautiful homes, nice bike riding trails. You will definitely notice a difference upon leaving its gates. Overall, a great experience.

My granddaughter (6) and I (79) rented a 26" cruiser with a Trail-a-bike for a day. Pickup and drop off was easy, and bike worked great. We had a nice ride to South Beach and back.

Always must visit this delightful area several times when on Hilton Head Holiday. Caveat - Road construction and expect delays and stops. Our Resort at Marriott Grand Ocean provides free Sea Pines passes.

Captain Greg has become our annual host over the past few years. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area, what we can expect, and works diligently to ensure that there's a positive experience had all. My three children look forward to seeing Captain Greg and we will definitely be back!

Fun destination on HHI. Be prepared to pay for parking if you're not staying there. Seafood is wonderful. Skip the filet mignon. Quality is not great and poorly prepared. DO stop for ice cream and peruse the shops.

Great experience playing golf at sea pines. Our group all agreed that the course deserves the accolades it has received. Jimmy was a great caddie would recommend

Sea Pines resort has a 0 refund policy if you cancel within 3 months of your stay. You are expected to make full payment at the time of booking. Also if you book a villa or home, Sea Pines Resort does not manage these properties, so if you have cleaning issues or maintenance problems you have to work through a third party to solve the problem. The restaurants are expensive, and expect additional unmentioned charges on your bill when you check out. Also check out is 10am.

We went because of the lighthouse. However, we were forced to pay $9 just to drive into the area, and $7 of you want to go inside the lighthouse. For the $9 you basically get access to the roads, but not the lighthouse or the beaches. You could go shopping, or for a walk, and the area is very nice and well maintained but the $9 access fee is unnecessary and ridiculous.

2230 was dirty, I spent hours chasing roaches, , the bed was like a brick, the Villa smelled musty. The area is confusing as to where to park. If you are a senior like us and do not bike, go somewhere else. Some of the staff that you complain to are veey disinterested. A waste of money And an unhappy trip.

The bike was already at our rental house upon arrival to the resort. The bike was well tuned, comfortable, and worked to perfection. The manager ( who I interacted with) was patient and friendly with all my requests. Highly recommend this bicycle rental. Furthermore, biking within Sea Pines is easy and easier to get around than driving given the parking limitations within the resort.

6 friends and I spent a long weekend in sea pines. We rented bikes, ate wonderful food at the shops just near the main gate (Healthy Habit was very good- parfait and avocado toast). We also went on a dolphin cruise. It was fun, but the water was choppy so a couple of us did get a bit sea sick. They had a snack bar, a lot of seats, and restrooms on the pontoon. A few more restaurants to try- Tio's... I think we could have eaten here every day and found something new and amazing. The Sea Pines Bakery and Cafe- so good, and the cinnamon buns are a MUST! Within Hilton Head we also went to Nectar- that was 50/50... some of us loved it and some didn't care for it. We stayed in the middle section of Sea Pines and biked about .5 mile to the beach and maybe a mile to Harbor Town. The weather was perfect...even with a short rain shower on one of the days. So many trails to hike and bike on. We saw gators, large water birds, armadillo, a snake, and dolphins... so many dolphins!!!! We hope to go back again soon.

We stayed at one of the Villas located within the Sea Pines Resort for a wedding. The villa we stayed at (within the Racquet Club Villas) was directly managed and booked on the Sea Pines Resort's webpage. The villa itself was clean, but nothing fancy. I did like the feature of having in-unit laundry and a full kitchen/dining area (despite not cooking at all during our trip! What a waste, but good to have?). The balconies of all the villas were being refinished so we were not allowed to use it, but the Sea Pines did provide a $100 credit to our reservation for the inconvenience. The resort itself is bigger than either of us expected. We found ourselves walking for so long and getting no where! I would recommend renting a bike to get around the resort. It's nice to own a car/have a car rental as well, but parking is limited around the touristy areas (e.g., restaurants, cafes, beaches, harbor, etc.) so driving around would be painful for that reason. We did not rent a car, but had an Uber/Lyft driver drop us off at our villa (the driver had no issue getting through the gates of the resort). The staff at the front desk was very kind (but also didn't seem very knowledgeable of the resort itself). We found ourselves looking at the website to find out more details/activities to busy ourselves around the wedding. Also, since the resort is by the water and it was particularly hot and humid around the time we went (Early Sep), there were these little gnats that bit my bf and I up! So sneaky and quick that you wouldn't know what hit you! Bring some good bug spray!

We rented a wonderful Vacasa property deep back into Sea Pines, really close to Harbour Town. Because it is a limited access development, there was really very little traffic, no litter and it was decently quiet. Good street markings and a low speed limit were helpful as were driving some after dark. Because of the turtle population, there are extremely limited street lights. You can purchase a pass to enter Sea Pines to visit Harbour Town, but ours was free because of our rental. Easy to enter the property with the sign on the dashboard and we were waved through. I enjoyed my visit to Sea Pines and would definitely return. [Review 12422 overall, 2209 of 2019.]

Very disappointing customer service when checking in, especially with the Catering and Conference department. After visiting here many times, I am rethinking if I will ever come back

Everything about our bike rental was first class. Making the reservation was easy. Bikes were delivered on time and picked up without a problem. I would not deal with any other bike rental agency. Thank toy!

My family and I have been vacationing in Sea Pines for 10+ years and there's nowhere else like it! The plantation is well kept, beaches are beautiful, miles of bike trails, great food/drinks and plenty to do for the whole family. If you're looking for something fun to do, check out the Black Skimmer at Harbor Town for Shark Fishing. Captain Steve & Mate Matt were fantastic! We've done multiple fishing trips on the island, but these two are the best - so knowledgeable, helpful and a great pair to be with. 10/10 recommend Sea Pines!

We use seapines bicycle rentals ever year we visit. They recently upgraded their pull a-long bikes. My little guy still can't do the 4 miles to south beach and 3 miles to the pool by himself. That bike is the perfect solution. Always great customer service, always on time and so receptive when you call or stop by. We will be using them next year again.

PRO TIP: If you are not staying here, it is $8 per car plus $1 for each adult bike. CASH ONLY! It was worth the price of admission for us. We came here on a Sunday and rode our bikes around. The trails are amazing and the whole resort is family friendly. I would definitely consider renting a place in here to stay next time. There are condos, to houses, to mansions, something for everyone. Of course the Salty Dog is located here, along with a beach club that has showers and beach access, along with a restaurant. We hung out at the lighthouse, but did not go up it. It was fun to watch the boats come in and out. Many of the day trip excursions leave from here as well and parking was not an issue.

So easy.....all I had to do was sign up and pay....Sea Pines Resort did everything else! That's vacation mode customer service!!!

We love staying at Sea Pines each summer. I would say this is our favorite spot out of all the beach vacation spots we've been to. Hilton Head is a beautiful, well-maintained area with natural appeal. Sea Pines is the oasis of Hilton Head... many features like a nice marina, beach access, walking/biking trails, horseback riding, tennis and pickleball courts, golf course, swimming pools, great restaurants, the spa, and easy access to shopping. Many of the rental homes/villas are updated, but some could use some help. We've stayed in a beautiful one bedroom with golf course view. We've also stayed in 2 bed villa with private patio. I'm looking forward to trying other rentals in Sea Pines and planning for next year already! Depending on the time of year, the check-in process can be slow, but it's been fine for us overall. Really great higher-class vacation area! Love it and recommend for those wanting a relaxing, yet fun vacation time.

A comfortable relaxing upscale golf resort which is located just outside of the Coligny Beach Park. They have excellent accommodations with comfortable rooms, free Wi-Fi and updated flat-screen TVs. The suites have kitchenettes, living rooms and private terraces. Some Villas have direct beach access, and also include kitchens, washer/dryers and may have also private decks. What I love about the resort is golf of course, but the hot tub and fitness center with on-site restaurants are also a plus. Tennis anyone? Yes they have also tennis courts.

I hate leaving 1-star reviews but sometimes it is required. I had a tee time to play harbour town. Easy enough. Well, turns out there is like a $9 fee to just drive your car into the resort. That sucks but whatever. What warrants the 1-star is that they only take cash. Ladies and gentlemen it is 2021. I doubt I'm the only one who doesn't carry cash. We had to turn around, find an atm and come back. The gate attendant was very unhelpful. Also, I think if you have an activity on the property (golf, etc.) you shouldn't have to pay the car fee to simply enter. I had a confirmed tee time, but the gate attendant was having none of it. I paid $400 for a round of golf but then had to pay $9 to enter the grounds. Also, accept Venmo and card. Pretty simple. They really need to get this fixed.

We love staying at the Sea Pines Resort. Our accommodations are always clean and comfortable. Staff is always helpful, friendly and professional. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Initially we had a bad experience due to bad attitude from an attendant at the golf resort but director of operations contacted us and took initiative to fix the problem to avoid further issues. We would be willing to give the place another chance after that. It is a beautiful course!

***If this unit isn't managed by Sea Pines Resort, then I humbly apologize. My associate and I picked up and dropped off the keys at the Sea Pines Resort Welcome Center, 32 Greenwood Dr. It certainly appeared as though Sea Pines managed the property.*** Two stars for condo with bedbugs. I love this place. My party landed a two bedroom condo with a walkout to Harbor Town golf links. Awesome property with superb access to the golf course. I didn't count on the bed bugs. Initially I thought the bug bites were from the golf course. After some investigation, it's definitely bed bugs. I expected better quality control from this property. I still recommend but bring pesticide just in case.

BLOOD ON SHEETS- Do not stay here. Do not stay here if you want clean beds. We checked into Sea Pines Resort and are incredibly disgusted with the state of our sheets. Blood and what looks to be other bodily fluids were all over the fitted sheet. We discovered this right before putting our three year old down for bed, thank god we did. Completely appalled by the lack of clean sheets. We had a conversation with the front desk and they said the housekeeper lives over an hour away and the sheets will not get changed until the housekeeper arrives. They also said they were "trying to figure out how this happened"...the last housekeeper did not change the sheets, that is the ONLY this happened. We will be staying here again. Now we have to wait over an hour to put our three year old to bed.

We went fishing this morning with Capt Greg and Izzy Fishing Charters in Sea Pines. Our boys (17, 17 & 12) had a great time and caught 7 sharks (all released). It was a trip they will always remember. Totally recommend.

Shouldn't have to pay the fee too get i to se pines. The security guard was very rude and wouldn't let us in unless we had cash. Which we didnt have. We had a reservation for a restaurant, called to cancel. But the manager left us pass at tge other gate, thankfully the guard was very pleasant and we had a wonderful meal at the Coast restaurant. Ut tgat rude security guard should be fired.

We love Sea Pines! Extremely family friendly community. Our kids loved biking to the beach and just because. If biking isn't an option, (and you're like me and don't want a sandy vehicle), there is a trolley that will take you to and from the beach. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back!

Absolutely horrible!!! As a local u have to pay to get in $9.00 to get food. Just ordered food and was coming right back out. The guard was rude nasty and doesn't care. Horrible I would never pay! As a local South Carolina Beaufort county you should be able to go anywhere on the island..

The Sea Pines Resort is located on the southern tip of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It's a quiet, luxury community/resort composed of homes, condos, and villas that blend in with the lush nature of the island. The resort is rather large at well over 5,000 acres. It's considered the most exclusive development on the island with plenty of things to see and do including biking, horseback riding, golf, tennis, water and beach activities, a forest preserve, and shopping and dining. The resort is perfect for low-key, family-friendly vacations. I grew up vacationing at Sea Pines with my family. For the longest time, it was known as Sea Pines Plantation. It wasn't until 2005 that "Plantation" was replaced with "Resort." We'd come here at least once a year. I still visit Sea Pines to this day, but due to work and other commitments, I don't get to visit as often as I used to or would like. If you decide to vacation at Sea Pines, you can either stay at one of the official resort properties (e.g. The Inn at Harbour Town) or choose to rent one of the many vacation rentals by owner. I recommend booking through Destination Vacation: http://www.destinationvacationhhi.com/. As a property owner or official guest of the resort, you get discounts on just about everything it has to offer from retail to food to tee times. If you decide not to stay at the resort, but would still like to visit, you just have to pay a $6 entry fee at the gate. Sea Pines is home to Harbour Town (http://www.yelp.com/biz/harbour-town-hilton-head-island) where the iconic red-and-white-striped lighthouse (http://www.yelp.com/biz/harbour-town-lighthouse-hilton-head-island) is located. There's a yacht basin (marina), boutique shops, restaurants, a playground for kids (http://www.yelp.com/biz/harbour-town-playground-hilton-head-island), and a world-famous golf course and tennis facility. The golf course, Harbour Town Golf Links, was designed by Pete Dye. Each spring, it hosts the PGA Tour's Heritage golf tournament. In addition to the golf course at Harbour Town, Sea Pines has two additional courses: Ocean Course and Heron Point. Ocean Course, as its name implies, borders the ocean (specifically, hole no. 15). Heron Point used to be known as the Sea Marsh course until 2007 when it was renovated and renamed. Also designed by Pete Dye, it underwent more design changes in 2014. I've played Harbour Town, Ocean Course, and the old Sea Marsh course and all three were outstanding. I highly recommend them to golfers of any skill level. I think Ocean Course is considered the "easiest" of the three. Expectedly, Harbour Town is by far the most challenging track with narrow fairways, low hanging trees, and tiny greens. I've yet to play Heron Point, but look forward to in the future. Heron Point's 2014 re-opening coincided with the opening of the new and absolutely beautiful Plantation Golf Club. The clubhouse is home to Live Oak, a contemporary, farm-to-table, "Lowcountry-inspired" restaurant, which I think is one of the best restaurants on the entire island (http://www.yelp.com/biz/live-oak-hilton-head-island). Going back to when I was a kid and even up until today, one of my favorite activities to do in Sea Pines is bicycling. Sea Pines has a bike shop (http://www.yelp.com/biz/sea-pines-bicycle-rentals-hilton-head-island) where you can rent bikes for hours or days at a time. There are other bike shops too (e.g. The Peddling Pelican: http://www.yelp.com/biz/peddling-pelican-bike-rentals-hilton-head-island). The resort is covered in safe and fun-to-ride trails. These "leisure trails" exist in pretty much every neighborhood of the resort so it's easy to get everywhere on your bike. I like to bike to Harbour Town as well as bike on the beach. The hard-packed sands of Hilton Head are ideal for bikes. The northwest side of Sea Pines, the same side where Harbour Town is located, faces the Calibogue Sound. The south/southeast side of Sea Pines is where the beach is located. Sunrise and sunset are always great times to be out on the beach as the views are picturesque and breathtaking. I think the best thing about the long beach at Sea Pines is it's not overcrowded. Like the rest of the island, Sea Pines has done a good job overseeing/controlling development in the interest of the environment. Many stretches of the beach are calm, quiet, and essentially private. It's nice. If you've ever been to the islands and beaches of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, then you'll know what to expect out of the beaches of Sea Pines. There aren't soft white sands and blue oceans like Florida, the Caribbean, or Hawaii. Instead, the sand is various hues of grey and the ocean appears darker as a result. The beaches of the Carolinas and Georgia are different, yet still exquisite in their own right.

We rented an apartment in the Sea Pines resort for our family to stay this summer. Everything is seamless, from check in at the front desk to the apartment stay itself to check out. With a baby and a toddler I highly recommend staying in an apartment near the beach. They even had the pack and play waiting for us when we got there. Being able to stay near the south beach which made it an easy early morning walk that I could do with the baby while my hubs and the toddler slept in. My toddler loved exploring the beach itself with the horseshoe crabs. We also went to the farm to pet all the animals and he loved it. There were pony rides as well but we felt that they were pretty overpriced. Went to see the Hilton head dolphins and that was priceless, worth every penny and everyone (kids and adults) highly enjoyed it ! The only downside was our inability to cycle with the baby. The resort area itself is made for people to be able to cycle from point A to point B but we were unable to make use of that facility with the kids being as young as they were.

We stayed inside the Sea Pines resort yes there's a $5.00 fee but if your staying at Sea Pines it's only a one time fee with unlimited in and out access. The resort includes a world-class tennis center, five miles of pristine beaches, 20 miles of bike and nature trails, a 600-acre Forest Preserve, an equestrian center, 10 restaurants, two conference centers, and the world-famous Harbour Town Yacht Basin with it signature, candy-striped Harbour Town Lighthouse, and you really do have a resort that's a step-or-two beyond the average. If your into golf you'll have three golf couses within Sea Pines to choose from and the PGA Verizon Heritage is played here in April at the Harbor Town Golf Links. For $250.00 a round plus a caddy you can play the same course the pros play. Sea Pines is a beautiful place and I hope I'll be able to return here again!

The Sea Pines Plantation (Resort) comprises one third of Hilton Head Island. This resort offers private condos and homes for rent by property owners, real estate companies, and resort rental companies. I highly recommend checking out rentals by the property owners themselves through websites such as www.vbro.com . Do not limit your rental search to www.seapines.com . You would miss out on hundreds of fantastic Sea Pines rentals if you do. Sea Pines has miles and miles of bike paths. Aside from time at the beach and being out on the greens families enjoy taking rides to explore the land. Charles Fraser developed Sea Pines with nature in mind. Stop in and visit the 600 acre Forest Preserve while staying in Sea Pines. The Beach Club, South Beach, Harbour Town, and Sea Pines Forest Perserve will be places your family will make memories that last a lifetime. I have been coming to Sea Pines for the past twenty-five years....and long to be here when I am away.

Sea pines is an upscale community; perfect for family vacations. Miles of coastline and bike paths, best golf courses and beaches on the island! There is no end to what you can do but I'll list a few: fishing, kayaking, paddle board, nature walks, shopping, eating at restaurant with live music, tennis, pickleball, swimming in a pool or the ocean, boating, and even horseback riding. The only downside to sea pines is that there is not much to do in walking distance. However, they do offer trolley rides to the beach/pool/shopping center all day long, which is nice! Sea pines is our happy place! The community has provided an outstanding experience every time we come. My stays have been comfortable, relaxing, and top-notch from beginning to end. In previous years (before finding sea pines) I have stayed in hotels around the island and nothing compares. We are sad our stay is coming to an end but we're looking forward to our next vacation here at sea pines

If you come, rent a place where you can walk to a beach. The main Beach Club parking lot during the season is TOTALLY inadequate, and extremely frustrating to access. Finding a parking spot during the times school's out is nearly impossible. If you can't find a rental where you can walk to a beach, plan "B" is to ride bikes to the beach, and rent a tag-a-long bike trailer to haul your stuff. Bike rentals are cheap if you shop around...better yet, bring your own, and just rent the tag-a-long. If money is no object, stay in the hotel next to the Beach Club, and your parking woes are solved. The location of Sea Pines is the worst of all the Plantations. It's all the way at the far end of the island, and the 2 grocery stores just outside the gate are very expensive. I strongly suggest stocking up en route (off Island at the Bluffton WalMart), and bring as much as possible from home, such as dry goods. You'll save big $$$'s. The fastest growing sport in the U.S. is Pickleball. Sea Pines scores a D- for Pickleball. There are 0 pickleball courts in Sea Pines. They use clay tennis courts with temporary nets, which is sub-optimal. There is no daily walk-up game like they have at Palmetto Dunes (16 real Picklebal courts with daily game 7 days a week for a fee). Sea Pines is great for Golf & Tennis, but if you play Pickleball, stay at Palmetto Dunes. The owners of Sea Pines recently spent $80M to replace 3 of the main structures, the Beach Club, Harbor Town Golf Clubhouse, and Plantation Golf Clubhouse, and all 3 were beautifully done. Harbortown and the Salty Dog outdoor Cafe at Lands End are still very nice ways to spend your time. The live music most evenings at both these venues is free, and top notch. The little ones will enjoy the large playground at Harbortown, and the nearby ice cremery. If you are staying off-island, and plan to come for a day at the Sea Pines beach, plan to arrive no later than 8 am during any time school's out, or you won't find parking. The cards are stacked heavily against daytrippers. There is an off-site parking area with Trolley shuttles, but if you have chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, ect.., that is inconvenient. If you rent chairs w/ umbrella, and buy drinks/eats at the beach club, that's a $100+ day for 2, and it can run $200+ for a family of 4-5. Sea Pines is better maintained than the other plantations, but to have a good experience, I suggest renting VRBO, HomeAway, ect., and not through Sea Pines. If you are a golfer/tennis player, you'll love it. If you rent a place walking distance to a beach, or do the bike thing, you'll be fine. Follow my tips for a 4-5 star experience, but beware, if you try to swim upsteam, you'll have a 1-2 star nightmare. I've been coming to Sea Pines annually for 20 years, but this is my last time due to Pickleball. Thanks for all the great memories Sea Pines.

Huge tourist trap. Prepare for your sanitized escape and have your wallet out because all they want is your money to subsidize the development for the residents and you'll likely die before finding a parking space in their poorly planned public parking areas that can't even accommodate guests in the off season. Everyone here was so aggressive and anxious about finding parking, that I would never return. No stars would have been a fair rating.

Do not plan on sleeping in. The grounds keepers with gas powered leaf blowers start every morning at 7am right outside window.

If you ever get a chance to go to Hilton Head Island, you must jump at that chance. I guess I got lucky b/c my parents happen to own property there, so I get to go when I want to. And my family has been going for the last 20 + years. One thing about this property is that it is one of The most desirable of places to stay on the island if you stay on HILTON HEAD. There are so many years and so many memories, I can't begin to count them. All I am grateful for is providing both my Daughter and Son the benefit of having these times be lasting memories for them. They both still remind me of times I remember. During the time those 'happy times' were happening, I wasn't sure if they would ever remember them. They did. :D I could only do my best so it shaped them into law-abiding citizens. I taught them "The World owes you a living, but you have to work hard to collect it". "Teach your children well..." (Crosby, Stills Nash & Young). ;)) You know those circular traffic circles in La Jolla that snake down Mission Blvd? Well, HHI has them too, but they're 5X as big and incredibly more difficult to tell whose turn it is, so careful out there, cause there's a lot of crazy drivers out there. The only other thing I will say about my parent's property is that every single time I stayed in the "treehouse ", I would always recall a Pat Conroy novel...set in Savannah, Georgia, "The Prince of Tides". (Highly recommended read.) Moving on.... A little bit of country-accented locals (how cute) A little bit of soft sandy beach, A little bit of unique shopping, A little bit of great restaurants..... And the horses. I've been riding since I was 17. Love horses! I always feel comfortable in the Low Country..... With a LOT of First Class All the Way. Bring lots of money. Lol.

We attended beach yoga in the morning and could not be more thrilled with the experience! Our instructor, Katie, was a true Yogi and guided us through a low pressure, high energy practice that was only enhanced by the beauty and sounds of the ocean. Worth every penny of the enrollment fee!

Izzy A Fishing Charters out of Sea Pines resorts. We had a great time with Captain Greg. He is an awesome guide. He doesn't mess around. If we didn't catch something within a few minutes we moved. There were 5 of us and we chose to go catch some sharks. Pole was bent the entire time. You better work out before landing some of these fish. I'd give Captain Greg and A+ rating.

Whatever you do, don't ride your bike into Sea Pines. You won't get in. They won't sell you a pass at the gate UNLESS you first enter with a car, get a pass, drive back out, get back on your bike, show them your pass that you purchased while in your car, and THEN you can ride your bike. That makes sense!

If I could give it no stars, I would. My family has owned a Marriott Vacation Cub unit at Harbour Town in Sea Pines for almost 30 years. Since our last visit, they made a rule that only property owners get to park there. Apparently from other reviews on here, you used to be able to pay to park at the golf course but not anymore. Now there is just a sign that says "NO BEACH PARKING". Like someone said so well earlier, the attendant at the Beach Club parking is rude, condescending, and the complete opposite of what one would expect from someone in "customer service." Her job is to make you feel like you don't have any business being there even though you are spending several thousands of dollars renting a house or villa. She would not even let me drop my adult children off before I drove away. Obviously, Sea Pines is doing so well that they do not want or need my vacation dollars. After coming here for almost 30 years, I've never felt so unwelcome in my entire life. I don't even want to finish the whole week here and I am voting with my dollars. We will not be back.

I had visited many beach communities in South Carolina over the years, but never Hilton Head, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to attend a work related function for 4 days at the Sea Pines Resort. I thought this community would be like many other with over developed strip malls, too much signage, and just outright tacky homes and lodging. I was totally off base on that assumption. Hilton Head is a very well mannered beach community that has very controlled development and requirements as it pertains to the look and feel of the community. Some may think that sounds very Stepford Wives like, but it was a very clean and nice place to visit. The Sea Pines Resort was no exception. This very large resort fills the majority of the southern tip of the island and though it is a bit spread out there is a good reason for it. This resort has a long list of amenities to select from while on your stay. You can select from Golf, Tennis, EcoTours, Pools, Playgrounds, Equipment Rentals (Bicycles), Fitness and Spa and of course plenty of Dining and Evening entertainment. It has a little bit of everything and something for everyone. From a golf perspective, I was impressed with the facilities with Driving Ranges, Putting greens, and practice bunkers for every course. There are 3 courses that I know of on in the resort. In addition, you can attend golf clinics or even take private lessons. Tennis is no slouch either with a premier resource for tennis enthusiasts. They have instruction programs and 23 clay courts in which to play. EcoTours span a range of activities from Forest walks to riding horses, to exploring the island via bicycles. With over 605 acres of Forest Preserve you'll have plenty to do. There are also other activities while you are there to enjoy such as Kayaking, Parasailing, Powerboat rentals, Sailing, Stand up Paddleboards, Water skiing, and Waverunner rentals. For my visit I basically enjoyed the beaches and dining in Harbor town (another review to come...). The staff is very professional and willing to answer any and all questions. This is a big family resort, but also enough space for a romantic getaway.

Hilton Head Island is broken up into different areas, the very southern tip of the island is called Sea Pines Plantation. Beautiful landscape, beaches, villas and resorts never to disappoint. This section of the island has pretty much everything you need, a nice little strip of stores to fulfill your vacation needs and souvenirs to bring home, restaurants, rentals (water & land), golf and a lighthouse with a great view. The shops are your typical tourist traps but it is amusing to watch what people buy. The lighthouse is only a couple of stories and is worth the climb. At the base of the lighthouse is a bar/restaurant called The Quarterdeck. Very typical decor with wood through out and sailing decorations. Food was ok but the drinks were strong which is fine by me. Of course the staff is very kind and patient with the many tourists. Just an FYI there is a small fee to even get in the area.

What a great place for a vacation! We rented a condo with 5 people in tow. 2 people in one room, 2 people in another, and one in the third bedroom. Each bedroom has their own bathroom, making mornings a breeze! We had a beautiful view of the golf course, and were surrounded by gorgeous nature! There's over 5,000 acres around this property! The showers were incredible and the house was pristine. We had access to the pools, the beach, the bike rentals...everything for the makings of a perfect vacation. Hilton Head is one of my favorite vacation spots ever. Staying at a hotel resort is always nice and everything...but I truly loved the home feel of staying in a condo!

We have stayed in Seapines villas for over 15 years. . Love the resort and attention to guests. However, the villa we rented this year, 5 Turtle Lane, was the first we were disappointed in. Beds uncomfortable, new floors but without appropriate area rugs are noisy and slippery. And the 3rd bedroom pictured as a double and twin was put together as a bunk bed when we arrived. After calling the front desk a maintenance man came out, said these were not the beds pictured nor were they there the previous time he was in the villa and he would talk to guest services. Never heard another word. So my middle age guests had to resort to cramming in one double bed since neither could climb the bunk ladder. I would recommend Seapines due to past experience, but beware of 5 Turtle Lane!

2 stars because the area was great and the stables were fun. but the attendant at the front was extremely rude and does not represent the resort well at all.

Over-rated "finer" dining restaurant. And relatively over-priced as well. But, this is Hilton Head. Fish mains of Corvina and the daily special were $ 27-28...not too bad. But still, $12 for Cloudy Bay sauvignon blanc by the glass a little bit much, when a bottle goes for $18 retail, max. We spent $72 for food, and $62 for 5 glasses of wine. Better off buying a bottle , especially here. Pecan pie dessert carries the weird price of $6.59. I don't need to return.
