Hello everyone! My family and I are thinking of taking a trip to Hilton Head next summer. I have gone on a few websites but want to hear people's opinions of it. Is it on the beach, just off? Please tell me about it all! Thanks!!!
 
Disney's resort is neither on the beach nor "just off." However, they do have beach house in Palmetto Dunes about 1 mile or so from the resort that IS on the beach.
 
We just returned from HHI last week; it was fantastic. The main resort is great; tons of activities and great pool. The beach house was awsome pool right on site and option to walk to the beach a few yards away. We loved it and are looking to go back next week. I just wanted to point out that the beach house is 1.5 mile but shuttle is available and parking is available at the beach house.
 
The resort sits on it's own Longview Island- located on Broad Creek that cuts thru HH itself. The resort is part of Shelter Cove, home to a marina and shopping area with a number of boutique shoppes and about 6 restaurants. These are all within about 400 yards of the resort and many of the restaurants offer a discount to guests at the resort.

As mentioned by Doctor P, the beach is just over a mile away and may be reached be resort shuttle, personal auto, bike or even walking. You'll need to pass thru a security gate, but resort guests do receive a parking pass to get thru the gate. The resort has two pools, two snack bars, a store, Community Hall and small exercise facility. There is a wonderful recreation staff with programs and activities for all age groups - including adults. There are many family activites available too.

There is no full service restaurant at the small resort (it is the smallest DVC resort - 102 villas), but there are several within walking distance and over 200 within a short drive right at HH.

You should make your plans as soon as possible because the busiest time at HH is from June - August. The villas fill up quickly during that time period, so plan ahead if you want to go at that time.

Enjoy!
