Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort: Magic on the Atlantic Coast

Disney, the name that stirs magical memories in the hearts of millions, goes beyond its traditional cinematic universe to where this magic becomes a vacation reality - their DVC resorts. One such creation of Disney Vacation Club is Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort.

Nestled on the picturesque island of Hilton Head, South Carolina, this classic family vacation spot is the perfect place to combine a beach vacation with a Disney timeshare.

Spanning 15 acres, the resort is artfully tucked between pine forests and the tranquil waterway meandering through the island. Despite its low-profile compared to its glitzy, fairy-tale cousin resorts in Florida and California, Hilton Head Island Resort is an epitome of Disney's unparalleled attention to detail and remarkable storytelling.

The charm of Hilton Head lies in its under-the-radar setting, swaying away from Disney's traditional theme park aesthetic. The resort is a tribute to the culture and history of the American South, styled as a 1940s hunting and fishing lodge. Palmetto trees frame the walkways, weathered gray boardwalks echo with distant seagulls, and the breeze carries the rustic, salty scent of the nearby Broad Creek.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort Timeshare Accommodations

Disney’s Hilton Head Island timeshare accommodations are spread across various buildings that all present a warm, welcoming vibe, complemented by the rich, earthy colors of the island and art that adorns the walls.

With a choice from studios to one- and two-bedroom villas and the three-bedroom Grand Villa, the resort offers a versatile stay option for everyone. The units, much like Disney's signature style, intertwine comfort, luxury, and a touch of whimsy, delivering an unforgettable stay.

Each unit has cooking facilities, whether it is the kitchenette in the studio or the fully equipped kitchens in the larger units. They also offer comfortable living areas, sleeper sofas for larger families and views of either the surrounding woodlands or the water nearby from the balcony or patio. Larger units also feature a whirlpool tub and convenient in-unit washer/dryer.

Unique Collection of Resort Amenities

For those seeking relaxation, one can lounge by the Big Dipper pool or soak up the southern sun with the little ones at the Little Dipper pool. For rejuvenation, adults can enjoy the outdoor spa located near the Big Dipper. Adding to the ambience, the pools offer a more natural setting than most DVC resorts.

Among the array of resort amenities are a fitness center, tennis court, bike rentals, fishing gear and the Live Oak Lodge where you can play a game of pool or just enjoy the fireplace from the antique furnishings in Big Murggie's Den.

For outdoor explorers, the island offers various adventurous trails that traverse through lush green forests and picturesque marshlands. A stroll down these trails or cycling with loved ones makes for a rejuvenating and memorable experience.

Ready for the Beach, Disney Style?

Beach enthusiasts will absolutely adore Disney's Beach House, offering ample opportunity for shell hunting, beach volleyball, or building sandcastles on this private stretch of beach - a paradise for both kids and adults.

When it’s time for a break from the sun, The Beach House also includes a lounge at Surfmen's Station for watching the big game or video games in the Big Buoy Arcade. Complimentary shuttle service is provided from the resort to The Beach House.

Along with the impressive amenities and engaging activities, Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort boasts a robust schedule of events and programs for guests of all ages. From tie-dying workshops and morning yoga sessions on the beach, to Goofy Bingo with trivia, treats, and plenty of fun, the resort ensures that every day is filled with excitement and variety.

As the sun dips behind the marshes, families gather around a campfire for fireside storytelling or watch classic Disney movies under the stars. These communal activities foster an environment where families connect with each other, and with the stories that shape our world.

Moreover, the dining options at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort deserve special mention. The resort's primary dining establishment at the Beach House, Signals, serves up sandwiches, salads and drinks – easy bites for a day at the beach. Meanwhile, Tide Me Over, next to the Broad Creek Mercantile Shop, has lowcountry Carolina cooking, burgers, sandwiches and salads on offer.

For those looking to cook up their own burgers, check out the Barbeque Pavilion with its two charcoal grills. You don’t even need to drag along your grocery items, since the resort offers grocery delivery service to have groceries delivered directly to your room on your check-in day.

Fun Beyond the Disney Resort

Sightseeing beyond the resort, the island is a treasure trove of activities and attractions. Just a short drive away, visitors can immerse themselves in the island's vibrant history at the Coastal Discovery Museum or marvel at the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse. Shoppers will also love the choices at Harbour Town.

For wildlife watchers, a dolphin- viewing boat tour or a visit to the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge is a must.

Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is also a retreat for golf enthusiasts. The island is renowned for its PGA-level golf courses, with the region boasting thirty-two courses overall that are open to the public and cater to all skill levels. Nearby, the world-renowned Harbour Town Golf Links, the host of the annual RBC Heritage Tournament, is a must-visit for avid golfers. Check with the front desk at the resort for more details.
