About this property

True DIRECT Oceanfront - Admiral's Row 305 - Right on the Beach! Best View!

Our villa, AR305, is ideally located directly on the beachfront on the 3rd floor in the much sought after Admiral's Row section of the Hilton Head Island Beach and Tennis Club. The balcony of our Villa overlooks the beach. Only a very small number of other villas share such a unique location. Most Villas that are listed as 'Ocean View' are a much greater distance from the beach.

The special location of our Admirals Row Beachfront Villa creates an exclusive feeling of an oceanfront setting situated apart from everything else.

Our villa includes a great beach view from the balcony, lounge, and dining area. It has a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, a bedroom with a TV and a queen bed, and a queen pull-out sofa in the living room. The dining area seats 4 comfortably. Our unit features free wireless internet, smoke detectors, and two HDTV's. We provide beach chairs and a beach umbrella for your use. We provide towels and linens, but bring your own beach towels.

Our building features an elevator, 2 staircases, an access ramp, parking, beach access, central smoke detectors, a non-sprinklered fire alarm system and 24 hour security, 7 days a week.

Our resort includes free tennis, pickleball, and use of the fitness center.
On site there are 3 restaurants - a sports bar (Coconutz), a pizza restaurant (Gator'z Pizza), and a casual beach bar (Jamaica Joe'z) by the pool overlooking the beach.
There is a small pool beside our Admiral's Row building as well as another very large pool on the North side of the complex with a kiddie pool beside it. There you will also find lots of lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas, a sun deck, a shaded sitting area, beach volleyball and organized activities in season.

Bikes can be rented on site by the security gate and there are bike racks located on both sides of Admiral's Row. Bike and walking paths covering the whole island start at the entrance to our resort. You can also bike or walk for miles along the beach in either direction.

Charcoal grills and picnic tables are located around the resort with the closest being a few steps away on the north side of the building. There are more beside the children's playground which is a great place for a large gathering. The children can play on the playground equipment and the adults can watch them while visiting with each other and cooking up some hot dogs and hamburgers.

We also own a 2 bedroom villa around the corner on the 2nd floor if you would need more space: vrbo/1203960

Wonderful time, great ocean front (not ocean view) and a great host. Clear, honest and straight forward instructions. Easy walk to beach which was perfect, not overly populated. Note fridge is small but you shouldn’t need more and the freezer is large. Shower is large too. Note bedroom is in the back and small but I don’t think you need larger with the view and access to the beach you have. Laundry is really close too. Very clean property. Ian was great with communication and setting expectations.

AR 305

Very nice property. Beautiful view. My only complaint is the week shower. Not easy to get clean after a day of surf and sand. a hand held shower head with sufficient water pressure and adjustable water spray would dramatically improve the shower experience.

Great Thanksgiving

The property is older, but very well kept. We enjoyed our annual trip to HHI, although this time was on the quieter side. Based on a suggestion from the owner, we reserved and rented bikes from the onsite hut and would do it again if we had the opportunity. If you want to be close to the water, this is the perfect choice.to be close

Cozy villa with excellent ocean view!

This was a perfect place to stay for Thanksgiving weekend with family right down beach at Marriott Surf-Watch. The villa had everything you could need (especially in the kitchen) and the bed was so comfortable. The sunrise view on the patio is worth waking early for. I hope to come back for another stay in the future.

Something to do

Adults only. Enjoyed the jazz corner. Must make reservations. If have kids then I recommend going on the shrimp boat trip. It is fun and educational and you may be bringing shrimp home to eat so bring a small cooler in your car.

Great views & responsive owner

We had a great stay at this property. The pictures/descriptions of the condo were accurate and the views of the ocean were spectacular. We were literally a 2-minute walk from the beach, so it doesn't get much better than that. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Another great trip to HHI in the books!

Great Ocean View

We had a very nice stay at this property. As we were on the third floor, and my husband recently had surgery, it was a little off putting that there were no luggage carts to help move our suitcases up the stairs to the elevator. Fortunately, I could handle it, but it could be tough going for physically challenged people.

HHI Stay

The property was very cute and bright. The view was spectacular! Ian was very attentive any very easy to work with. I really appreciated his flexibility when we needed to shift our reservations by one day. The woman who checked us in upon arrival was extremely rude. Not at all welcoming or helpful. It didn’t have anything to do with Ian or the condo but she gave a terrible first impression of the community itself. Everyone else we encountered while there were wonderful though!

Ian Budd (owner of the property)

It was worth the money just to get an owner like Ian Budd who cares enough about your stay to go the extra mile to give you a TON of information about your surroundings! Places to go, things to do and to educate so you will not unknowingly disrespect the nature of your surroundings like the Loggerhead Sea Turtles. Although I would add to great breakfast places The French Bakery! WOW! We saw and ate at most of the places he listed and they were everything he said they were and more. Didn’t get to experience the Jazz Corner. It was on our list month before our visit but did not know you really need a reservation for that place well in advance!! The only thing I have to add is I was not wheelchair bound when I made these reservations but since have become so and this place was only just qualifying as wheelchair accessible. Tiny elevator and corridors….just barely navigable. If I could not stand to take a shower I would not have gotten one. This place was a tiny house size. (540sq.ft.) But it was manageable if you have help. AND WELL WORTH IT FOR THE VIEW ALONE! We were able to negotiate the boardwalk down to the beach without the use of a beach wheelchair…and it really was a very short walk to the ocean.

We had a really great stay at the 305 Admiral's Way. The place was very well maintained, location and ocean views were amazing and the host was very responsive when needed. We only had to correspond due to utility company needing to upgrade the internet and modems for the entre complex. All went very smoothly and did not disturb our stay. Location of Resort was ideal with so much to do around the area and they had a lot of fun activities at the pool area for days when you needed a break from the sand. Fitness room was as very nice. Lots of trails to walk as well as bike. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Mom and kids

I stayed here 4 nights with my 3 children. This was my first time staying oceanfront in Hinton Head and I've been coming for many years. Usually I get 2 bedrooms, but the amazing view and ocean access made up for the smaller space. My daughters said the sofa bed was veey comfortable and enjoyed watching the ocean. There is a small fridge and a separate small freezer as well as a stove, microwave, and fully stocked kitchen. There was plenty of storage space for clothing. The unit was cleaned and well maintained. My kids are 7, 9, and 11. They LOVED the activities at the big pool like movie night, a dance party, and hairbraiding. There is also a bar, restaurant, and ice cream stand at the pool. There is beach buggy parking because the pool is just a few steps from the ocean.Hilton Head is full of amazing restaurants and beautiful bike paths and parks. This time we even went shark fishing on a shared charter geared towards kids called Captain Hook that was incredible! We found a giant conch shell, dozens of sandollars, hermit crabs, and a starfish. We saw dolphins several times and even a shark. The owners, Ian and Patricia were very kind and accommodating. They were very responsive to VRBO messages and also gave me their cell phone number. They a were able to arrange an early check in and later check out for me which was much appreciated!

About the host

Hosted by Ian Budd

Host profile image
My name is Ian and I grew up in England. I reside between the Cincinnati Ohio/Northern Kentucky area and Hilton Head with Debby who is also from England. I have lived in the USA since 1976 owning at Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort since the 1999. I have never grown tired of the fantastic ocean view from our condo. Also, I can't say enough about all the wonderful things to do here at the resort and the incredible people who take care of us. I love to share our condo with our guests and nothing makes me happier than when I receive a note back from a guest who has just enjoyed their best vacation ever.

Why they chose this property

Hilton Head Beach and Tennis is located in the Folly Field neighbourhood of Hilton Head Island. This is a well established older neighbourhood that is away from the hustle and bustle of the Coligny area of the island. You can walk to everything - the beach, on-site restaurants, and some beautiful streets in the old neighbourhood lined with Live Oaks and Spanish moss. You really don't need to leave all week except to go grocery shopping.
However, if you choose to get in your car, or rent a bike, you can be at all manner of scenic areas, attractions, restaurants, breweries, and historical sites in just minutes. If you like the beach and the ocean this is absolutely the place to be. The neighborhood runs along the oceanfront. There are 5 beach restaurant/bars within walking distance of our condo. You can walk to the Folly (a Marshland inlet) in one direction and to what we call the "Rocks" in the other.

What makes this property unique

The Admirals Row A building where we are located is closer to the ocean than any other building on the property - actually closer than most buildings on the island. Our condo is at the end nearest to the beach. Located at the edge of the dunes with the ocean just steps away on the other side, you can hear the sound of the waves crashing on the beach when you sit on our balcony. It's a pretty cool experience to enjoy that proximity when you get up in the morning, take a break in the day, or are relaxing in the evening. Also, I really like that we are not in a concrete jungle. We have space between low rise buildings. We have trees, vegetation, and natural dunes. I've owned in Admirals Row for over 25 years, and I'm still loving it.
