Captains Walk - Hilton Head Island, SC

Ever imagine spending your vacation right on the beach? Sleeping right in the sand, waking to the glorious sound of the waves gently breaking onto the shore as you yawn and stretch, ready to welcome the day? Although it might seem exotic and actually downright economical, it's not practical or even legal. Do the next best thing and stay at a Captain's Walk oceanfront villa on Hilton Head Island.

Each building is parallel to the dunes, and you'll feel as if you are digging your toes into the sand and dangling them in the surf. An oceanfront pool is surrounded by paved walkways that will lead you to sundecks, a children's pool and a gazebo complete with restrooms. The pool is heated October, November, March and April and has a large cabana and covered deck. There is also a private beach boardwalk with showers.

The spacious two and three bedroom floor plans offer great views of the Atlantic Ocean and are well decorated. Captain's Walk is conveniently located on a bike path between the Marriott and Hilton Hotels, offering a choice of specialty shops and restaurants.

A vacation at Captain's Walk puts you in the heart of Palmetto Dunes, a luxury resort community recently named by Conde Nast Traveler magazine as one of the top of its kind in the U.S. Along with the unbeatable and uncrowded beaches, there are three championship golf courses to tackle. Hone your skills on the court at the world renowned Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center. Explore Palmetto Dunes from the waters of the 11 mile lagoon system that runs throughout the community. You can canoe, kayak, or even drop a line and just relax. You'll also find miles of leisure paths winding throughout Palmetto Dunes. Crank up the activity level a few notches and try some windsurfing and don't forget to take a can't miss dolphin watching excursion. Wonderful restaurants and shops are always close by. Palmetto Dunes also features great shopping and dining at Shelter Cove marina, located a short distance away on Broad Creek. Stroll around the marina and relax to the sound and rhythms of the boats gently rocking at their docks. Right down the road you will find Shelter Cove Mall, and the popular Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.

A luxury vacation at Captain's Walk is truly the best way to experience the white sand beaches of Hilton Head Island.
