Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is a Disney Vacation Club Resort and vacation rental accommodation, part of the Disney brand of timeshares, located in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Designed by the firm of the 2007 Driehaus Prize winner, Cooper, Robertson & Partners, it opened on March 1, 1996. This property is on a secluded 15-acre (6.1 ha) island in the Shelter Cove Harbour area of Hilton Head Island.

Resort[]

The mid-island resort has an intentionally rustic theme and this property very much caters to kids. The rooms, grounds and location clearly accommodate a family crowd.

The rooms are spacious, clean and have kitchens and balconies. "South Carolina Lowcountry" is the theme and style of Disney's Hilton Head Island resort. The grounds are well-kept and modern, with amenities that include hammocks and grills.

Disney Hilton Head is top-heavy with activities for children, including nature programs, campfires, magic shows, "Kids Night Out", crabbing, art, swimming pool & pool games, biking, kayaking, tennis and more things to do.^[1]

The Disney Hilton Head resort is on Hilton Head's Broad Creek, which is technically a land locked tidal marsh. A shuttle bus transports guests to the Disney Beach House in Palmetto Dunes, which is about a mile-and-a-half away. There guests enjoy a private swimming pool with bathrooms and a snack shop right on the Atlantic Ocean.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is located on the picturesque coast of South Carolina, only 5 hours from Walt Disney World Resort. This elegant, relaxing home-away-from-home—fashioned after a 1940s hunting and fishing lodge—combines local charm and simple pleasures with outdoor fun for the entire family. The resort features multi-roomed villas and many recreational activities, including 12 miles of heavenly beaches.

Dining[]

The resort does not have a full-service restaurant, but there are two spots to eat:

Signals and Tide Me Over both serve American Casual themed lunch; however, at the main resort Tide Me Over also serves breakfast.^[2]
