Meticulously-maintained, our Hilton Head vacation property is a clean and tranquil escape located within Hilton Head plantation, a gated residential community containing 4,000 landscaped acres and four golf courses. We offer MUCH MORE of everything to those who want economy, space and a peaceful setting. We are the competitively priced alternative to a cramped, condo closer to the ocean. Enjoy miles of leisure trails, boardwalks through marshes and nature trails, and still be only a few minutes drive (10 minutes or 5 miles) to Hilton Head’s famous gently sloping, wide sandy ocean beaches.
The island is the second largest barrier island on the entire east coast and is protected by an offshore sandbar which makes for a nice, safe gentle rolling surf. At low tide, the sandy beach is more than 600 feet to the water line. We're also near more than 20 FABULOUS golf courses (including a view of award-winning Oyster Reef Club -a local favorite), two large factory outlet centers, sightseeing activities, charming Savannah and Charleston, and hundreds of fine restaurants.
Hilton Head Island is one of the world's TOP 100 destinations, according to the American Automobile Association. An impressive list of activities includes:
- Play golf at one of the more than 20 championship courses. Or play the best ‘designer’ mini golf ever!
- Drive to one of the island's public beaches (some with playgrounds and most with ample parking). Take our complimentary beach equipment and save money for your afternoon Margueritas on our patio.
- Take a day trip to Savannah, Charleston, Daufuskie Island, or historic Bluffton.
- Go biking with our complimentary bikes on one of the many flat, paved bike paths all over the island.
- Dine at casual cafes or go for any of the more than 200 superb restaurants nearby.
- Take a boat ride from the island to the old Savannah waterfront and get pralines while you’re there.
- Climb the famous Sea Pines Harbour Town lighthouse.
- Go on a dolphin watching cruise or a kayak nature tour.
- See the Coastal Discovery Museum.
- Ride horseback through the woods of Sea Pines plantation.
- Shop til you drop at the factory outlets.
Everything is convenient - the island is only 12 miles long! The grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are plentiful right at the entrance to Hilton Head Plantation in Main St. Village or across highway 278 (Publix, Wal Mart, Outback, CVS).
Come join our guest list and have a memorable Hilton Head island experience!

Map & Owner's Profile
Hilton Head Island Vacation Home at Oyster Reef
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Oyster Reef (formerly Myrtle Bank)
We love the beautiful Hilton Head plantation community, which is a short drive away from the maddening crowds and noise of the oceanside beach condos. We can get to the beach in a matter of minutes, and we find we take our car regardless because we like our chairs, umbrellas and coolers with us! The island is thoroughly a visual delight and it is a golfer's heaven. Golf is just outside our door! It's a year round destination and the weather is mild and hospitable for all sorts of activities.
The Unique Benefits at this Single Family Home
The natural, semi tropical setting is really a treat - it's a resort-like location with all the comforts of home. We can spread out more in this one level 3 bedroom house and still get to everything easily and quickly at this end of the island, whether it be on island or just off island. One level living and conveniently located for the swimming pool, the beach, championship golf, and area sightseeing. There's so much to see and do that we still haven't seen everything nearby! We supply our guests with lots of sightseeing literature, maps, restaurant menus, golf course info, etc.
area with best public ocean beaches, facilities and parking: Folly Field Bch, Bradley Beach, Dreissen Beach park and playground. few miles SE of HH plantation vacation rental home at Oyster Reef.
Public access beach park w/pay parking, bathhouses, boardwalk ramp to beachfront
