Hilton Head Beach & Tennis RESORT - Everything you need to know
Welcome to Hilton Head Island Beach and Tennis Resort!
Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort (HHB&T) is a family friendly oceanfront resort offering direct beach access and lots of amenities to guests of privately owned villas. The resort covers 56 acres and is conveniently located at the north end of the island, directly on Folly Field Beach, one of Hilton Head Island's most popular family beaches. The beautiful facilities and grounds are gated and staffed by 24/7 security.
VILLAS:
The villas at Hilton Head Island Beach and Tennis Resort are independently owned villas, many of which are managed by (and booked through) individual owners or independent property managers, and others of which are managed by (and booked directly through) the resort office. Owners who manage their villas independently often list their villas on Houfy (HOUse For You), which eliminates booking fees to save guests money, or on other OTAs (online travel agencies).
Although the floor plan of each type of villa is the same (see below), the furnishings and amenities found inside each villa are unique, and depend on the owner. You should always check the owner's listing to see what beach equipment, kitchen supplies, entertainment options, linens and other amenities you'll be getting with your stay. Cleaning services are also villa-specific. Villas that are individually managed use different cleaning companies than villas who are managed by the resort office. Also be sure to check the reviews and photos of each specific villa, as the experiences may be very different depending on how well that villa is managed, and what it includes.
Regardless of how an individual villa is managed, the guests of every villa at the resort have access to all of its amenities, including swimming pools, tennis, pickle ball, playground, restaurants, bike rentals, picnic areas, beachside bar, 24/7 security, free high speed fiber optic WiFi, cable TV, central heat and air-conditioning with guest controlled thermostat, and - most importantly - private access to the gorgeous beach.
Here is some more information about the size and layout of the different types of villas:
OCEAN VILLAS - 1 BR/1 BA villas (540 sq ft). There are 3 Ocean Villa buildings with 150-168 villas per 3-story building. Most Ocean Villas have a Queen bed in the bedroom (a few may have a Full-size bed). Some have a sleeper sofa in the living room and many have built-in bunks in the hallway (suitable for children 12 and under). Each Ocean Villa has a small kitchen with a full size refrigerator. An elevator and laundry room (using pre-paid laundry cards) are located in each Ocean Villa building.
Ocean Villas are the closest buildings to the large pool and beach, with a 1-3 minute walk to the sand, a 3-5 min walk to the tennis courts, playground, and fitness room. Some have a resort view, some have a partial ocean view, and a few are direct oceanfront.
TENNIS VILLAS - 2 BR/2BA villas (888 sq ft.). There are 7 Tennis Villa Buildings (A through G) with 24 villas in each 3-story building. Tennis Villas offer open concept living with fully equipped kitchens, dining area, and two full bathrooms, including one ensuite. Most Tennis Villas have a Queen or King bed in the primary bedroom, while the second bedroom may have 2 Twins, 1 Queen, or Twin bunks plus 1 Queen, or a variety of other bed arrangements. Many have sleeper sofas in the living room, as well. Tennis Villas do not have elevators or laundry rooms within each building. The Tennis Villa laundry room (coin operated) is located in the Pro Shop building about 50-200 yards away, depending on which building you are staying in.
Tennis Villas have various resort views, being surrounded by tennis courts, beautiful flower plantings, native flora and a natural wetland lagoon. Depending on the Tennis Villa building you are staying in, the beach and large pool are only a 3-6 minute walk through the resort, and the tennis courts, playground, and fitness room are just outside your door or are at most a 2 min. walk.
ADMIRAL'S ROW VILLAS - Admiral's Row is a 3-story building consisting of 40 1BR/1BA villas (560 sq ft.) and 92 2BR/2BA villas (996 sq ft.).
The 1 BR Admiral's Row Villas offer a small kitchen with full-size refrigerator, a Queen or Full bed in the bedroom, and many have built-in bunks in the hallway (suitable for children 12 and under) as well as a sofa bed in the living room.
The 2 BR Admiral's Row Villas offer fully equipped kitchens, dining area, and two full bathrooms, including one ensuite. Most Admiral's Row villas have a Queen or King in the primary bedroom and either a Queen bed and/or 2 Twin beds in the second bedroom. Some have sleeper sofas in the living room, as well. Elevator and laundry room (using pre-paid laundry cards) are located in the Admiral's Row building.
Admiral's Row villas are close to the sand. There is a boardwalk leading directly from the Admiral's Row building to the sand, so depending on what part of the building you are staying in, it is only a 1-3 min. walk to the beach. There is a smaller pool adjacent to the Admiral's Row building, but the large pool and Jamaica Joe'z are about a 5 min. walk. The tennis courts are about a 2-3 min. walk, with the playground and fitness room about 4-5 min. away. Admiral's Row villas have either a resort view, a partial ocean view, or (a few) are direct oceanfront.
