Rooms are very very small. The children's bunks they advertise are actually sleeping shelves in the hallway, not beds (we stored our luggage there). We were in a one bedroom in Bldg. A so the two bedroom units may be larger, but I don't know. Yes the ocean front rooms actually face the ocean but unless you are on a high floor you can't see over the brush. We walked on the beach to the property next door to the left and booked our next trip there. Yes, it was more expensive, but well worth the price.

My family just returned from our stay in Hilton Head Island Beach & Tennis Resort, and we really enjoyed the trip. Our building, Admiral's Row, was closer to the ocean than the others and our room was oceanfront so we were blessed with a gorgeous view and were able to hear ocean waves all the time.

As for the area, we have been to lots of southern beaches and this is one of our favorites. Not only is it closer to our home than others, but we didn't see nor hear anyone drinking, partying, cussing or acting wild; the environment was very family oriented and peaceful. There are beautiful trees all over the island, and every neighborhood and shopping center we saw looked classy and well-maintained. The resort was no exception as all the flowers and landscaping, tennis courts, and the two pools looked well maintained also. Another plus is there were security guards near the entrance who monitored every incoming vehicle.

Our condo, number 206A, was in the perfect location as we had an awesome view from our balcony and we even saw dolphins on two separate days. Shortly after we arrived a maintenance man brought a new screen door as the one in place had a hole in it. The kitchenette area was nicely furnished and the white cabinets and refrigerator were clean, but one of the stove eyes didn't work. We decided to sleep on the sleeper sofa since the bed was too soft (not good for a bad back), but the sleeper sofa was not entirely comfortable so we used a blow-up mattress. The condo needs new pillows as the ones they have look stained. One of our boys enjoyed sleeping in the bunk while the other slept in the bedroom and they had no complaints though. The condo seemed smaller than we expected, and it needs to be updated as it is decorated in 1980's mint green, peach and dusty rose colors. I love interior design, and if I owned the condo I would completely remodel it except for the kitchen cabinetry. The bathroom has unattractive, old fish wallpaper which was loose in some spots, a stained, dirty-looking bathtub and older fixtures. It would have been nice to have a second bathroom or at least a 1/2 bath too. Having said that, for the rates we paid this week, it was worth it; the rates are much higher after this week. Check-out was 10:00 a.m. and fortunately we were ready to leave earlier than that because the janitors came in at 9:15 a.m.

Overall, this island seemed so wonderful and the resort did too. We would like to come back and check out other condos in this building.

older rooms and staff very disinterested in the fact that we had to

leave early and still held us to a full nights rent that we werent

even going to be there. I think that they could have at least

have charged for the taxes and half a day stay. Very dissipointed

We searched for weeks before deciding to stay at HHI Beach & Tennis Resort. We wanted to be in an area where we could afford to be in a beach front condo. We found our condo on VacationRentals411.com and I have to say, we are more than pleased - we fell in love! The villas are designed well for small families and well equipped so you can stay in if you want and be very comfortable. We cooked breakfast and lunch at the condo and ate dinners out. The location is great and although it is an older property, it is maintained very well, the 24 hour security is comforting and it is a family-friendly property. The condos are very quiet even thouh most are full now for Spring Break; we haven't heard a single neighbor! We will be staying here again!
