Hilton Head Rentals Oceanfront by Owner
Staying on the Beach at one of the Hilton Head Rentals Oceanfront by Owner will be a vacation you will never forget. Hilton Head Island is a Premier Vacation spot and the beaches are pristine. White sand beaches with hard-packed sand as the tide goes out to make for great times to play at the beach. Renting a Vacation Home by Owner directly on the Atlantic Ocean makes it that much more special.
On the Atlantic Shores
Many of the Beachfront Rentals in Hilton Head are on the Atlantic Beach side of the Island. Did you know that there are twelve (12) miles of white sand beaches that touch the Atlantic Ocean? Lined along this beautiful stretch of beach are plenty of Homes, Villas, Condos, Hotels, and Resorts. Along with Hilton Head Rentals Oceanfront by Owner, you will also run across a few Beaches open to the public.
Oceanfront vs. Beachfront
What is the difference between Oceanfront and Beachfront Vacation Rentals in Hilton Head? If you think about it, you start to realize that an Island is surrounded by water. Only a portion of the rentals can be facing the Atlantic Ocean. So, any of the other rentals facing out to a large body of water would be considered Beachfront rentals. Surrounding other edges of Hilton Head Island are, Skull Creek, Broad Creek, Port Royal Sound off the heel, and the Calibogue Sound off of the toe.
Gated Communities
When you start to break down the location of the Vacation Rentals in Hilton Head that are Oceanfront, two (2) Gated communities will come up. Sea Pines is one of the largest plantations on Hilton Head and has Oceanfront and Beachfront Vacation Rentals. The other Gated Community having Vacation Rentals on the Ocean is the Palmetto Dunes plantation. You can’t go wrong with either one of these communities. Both have great bike trails, access to the beach, Championship Golf Courses and plenty of Tennis courts to go around.
Other Oceanfront Vacation Homes, Villas, and Condos
Many guests visiting Hilton Head are not interested in staying in one of the Gated communities. There are some really great properties along the beaches of Hilton Head outside of these gated areas.
Forest Beach
Known as the “Downtown area of Hilton Head”, Forest Beach is a great place to stay. On the North Forest Beach side you will find most homes and on the South Forest Beach there are plenty of Villas, Condos, and Homes on the Oceanfront.
