Hilton Head Resort, Family Friendly, Beautiful Beaches, Great Ammenities

We stayed here in early August for 6 nights with our two sons, ages 4 and 5. The condo was extremely well stocked. The dishes and glassware were sturdy and nice, there was a great variety of pots/pans for cooking and lots of things that were so convenient to have that we didn't even consider when searching for a place to stay - dish disposal, dishwasher, paper towels and dish detergent, ice machine, and beach chairs and beach toys. The linens and towels were soft and comfortable. There were plenty of pamphlets and magazines that had lots of good local information and inspiration for excursions and outings. The condo looked exactly as it was advertised in photos. The balcony was screened in, which made sitting outside in the heat so much more enjoyable - not having to worry about bugs! Our boys loved watching the gators that reside in the lagoons outside. The condo was pretty clean upon our arrival; however, there was a little room for improvement there. We did find two cans of chewing tobacco in one of the dresser drawers and the lights and fans were all pretty dusty - something that was much more noticeable for me due to allergies. The biggest complaint I've seen when reading reviews for this resort was the walk to the beach - it is definitely a bit of a longer walk, and one that is certainly more challenging with children. There is a shuttle that runs throughout the day, so we took the kids on the shuttle and one of us made the walk with our wagon/cart filled with the rest of our beach gear. The boardwalk to the beach is beautiful, and the private beach itself is worth the walk - the beach was extremely clean and never overcrowded, we had an amazing time. There are two outdoor pools and one indoor pool at the resort. One of my biggest issues with the resort was the cleanliness. With how busy this place was, I would have expected to see more staff members keeping an eye on the pools and the general cleanliness of the shared areas (elevators, hallways, poolside, pool) - there were a few times we passed on the pool and went for the beach instead due to how dirty the water appeared to be. I was impressed with how quiet the resort became in the evening, it was very calm and relaxing. The location of the resort was quite convenient to all shopping and most outings, everything was pretty much within a 5-15 minute drive. We had a great time, and would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the memories!
