Marriott's SurfWatch

Awesome, just perfect!!

Lovely, spacious 2-bedroom/2-bath suite with balcony, very clean. All new furnishings. Full kitchen had all the items needed to prepare simple meals. Master bath had an enormous shower for two. Unfortunately the beds were not very comfortable, too hard, and disrupted our sleep. Staff were all top-notch, very professional and courteous. We were able to check in early. It is gated and seemed safe. Amenities were the highlight: 2 outdoor heated pools/jacuzzis, 1 indoor pool & jacuzzi, cornhole, bocce ball, volleyball, foozball, pickle ball, playground and a full gym and sauna. It was a very cold week (30s) and the pools were all warm and delightful. They had a reasonable bike shop on site, which offered e-bikes, cruisers, trikes, “tag-along bikes”, wagons and even kids bikes with training wheels. They also offered fishing rods to take advantage of the pond stocked with catfish, perch, and bass. We so loved biking on the beach and also through the bike paths in nearby Chaplain Park. We took advantage of many of the included activities, which were a hit with the kids - fire pits with smores, live music, bbq night, arts & crafts, star gazing, storytelling, live owl and hawk demo, yoga. They also had several cocktail and wine happy hours complimentary. The beach required walking about 10 minutes on a boardwalk over the beautiful salt marsh. There are bathrooms, a heated pool, and snack bar right by the beach. The waves seemed pretty calm. Unfortunately the snack bar was closed when we visited and there was no restaurant on site, so be prepared to cook or go out. Recommend visiting the Harbourtown lighthouse and the Coastal Discovery Center for kids.

The entire staff at this property is exceptional! and totally aware of every special noke and hidden gem in Hiltonhead.. Loved our experience and the special events at the property were completely enjoyable .. Walking on the beach is the bonus to the property
