Not Your Average Beach Vacation. Not Even Close.
Forget the crowded resort strips and cookie-cutter condos. This is something different.
Perched directly on the shores of Port Royal Sound, this villa sits closer to the water than anything built on Hilton Head Island today — a rare product of a time before shoreline restrictions existed. What you get is something most island visitors never find: a raw, living, breathing waterfront experience that feels worlds away from the ordinary.
Your stay includes the full villa plus everything the building has to offer — fitness center, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, dry sauna, and access to the Sound. Come and go as you please.

The Spa on Port Royal Sound was built before there were building restrictions regarding distance from the water. As a result, the complex is extraordinarily close to the Sound. (FYI-Low tide does go out about 1/2 a mile.) The marsh grass has grown in behind the breakwater rocks on our beach, at the same time, a sandbar in front of the rocks has been built up and a proper beachfront has developed. It's quite a beautiful natural phenomenon and has provided us with 2 beaches. You have to see it to understand, but if you prefer a more regular beach, Mitchellville Beach is just a few hundred feet to the left of the property for those requiring a more "proper" beach experience.
The complex is flanked by two public parks laden with Spanish moss-covered live oaks and resides at the end of a dead-end road. There is little to no traffic noise, except the occasional airplane taking off or landing at the small airport nearby. We enjoy an abundance of wildlife and embrace the opportunity to go fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and clamming. I have personally seen other amazing wildlife including dolphins, eagles, hammerhead sharks, stingrays along with the more common egrets, ravens, jellyfish, crabs, and horseshoe crabs.
Port Royal Sound & Fish Haul Beach
This isn't your postcard beach — and that's exactly the point. Port Royal Sound's natural shoreline is quiet, unhurried, and genuinely wild. Shallow, calm water makes it ideal for little ones, and the shell hunting here is serious business. Birdwatchers take note: bald eagles are regular visitors to this stretch of the island.
A heads-up before you go: at low tide, the bottom gets soft and muddy in spots. Water shoes are your friend here — though the brave and unbothered are welcome to squish through.
If you're chasing waves, boogie boards, or fluffy Atlantic sand, Islanders Beach or Folly Field Beach are your move — both are about 10 minutes away. But if you want the slow, unspoiled side of Hilton Head? You found it.

You can rest easy knowing your stay is covered with $1,500 in "All-Risk" damage protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have limitations in protection. With "all-risk" protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless it's specifically excluded such as, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage. This is covered under a $35 management fee included in the transaction for your stay. Relax and enjoy your stay!! It's vacation time, so enjoy it with the peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damage occurs, you are protected under Waivo!
