“Not a hotel but a condominium”
Location, location, location. The location of is excellent -- right on the beach and across the street from an attractive shopping center (everything on Hilton Head is done in good taste, so having the shopping center a block away was a real plus and did not detract from the beauty of the place). Beach access was almost immediate, and the beach was great -- flat and sandy, although at high tide, most of the beach disappeared -- but I was there when there was a tropical storm in the area and the sea was probably unusually high. The pool was tiny, with half roped off for those who can't swim, and the second pool was a wading pool. The condo I stayed in was small (the bedroom had room for just a bed and a dresser), as was the living room/kitchen, but the view was great. I had a balcony with an ocean view through palms and some other trees. There's no elevator, but I was on the first floor (in reality the second floor, because the property is built with room for storm surge underneath. Parking was right there, and it was quiet, on the whole. There's a hotel very close to this property with a tiki hut, and you can rent a beach chair and umbrella by the day or week.
