Best Things Nearby:Shops, restaurants, beach, and bike trails in ShipyardBest Things About the Resort:The large rooms and fully equipped kitchenResort Experience:One gripe I have concerns check-in. We had to check-in at the Player's Club, not too far away in actual fact. However, the woman there was absolutely rude to me. We'd never been to the Waterside before and consequently didn't know the layout or how to get to our unit. She was not helpful at all and talked to me as if she were reprimanding a child.
That aside, the units themselves are very comfortable. We rented bikes and biked for 3 hours every day. You can't beat zooming along the beach and exploring all the bike trails throughout Sea Pines and Shipyard!
I'm a non-swimmer and...

Best Things Nearby:Beach and shoppingBest Things About the Resort:PoolResort Experience:Our first trip was planned for Florida Fairfield Ocean Palms in Pompano Beach, FL. Due to Hurricane Jean, we had to cancel the trip to Florida two days before check-in. We were devastated. I called RCI to see what was available. They helped me find a great resort, Waterside by Spinnaker, a two-bedroom villa Gold Crown Resort located on beautiful Hilton Head Island, SC. I was shocked, because HH is very hard to get.
The resort accommodations were fantastic, a beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath with a Jacuzzi, full kitchen, washer, and dryer. The front of the villa overlooked the pool and hot tub area, and the balcony was over a lagoon. The resort was a...

Best Things Nearby:The best was the beach. Although busy at the popular access via Coligny Plaza, if you moved 50 to 100m down, it was very quiet. If you want shops, again, Coligny Plaza, 300m from the unit, had supermarket, gift shops, and restaurants. Leave the resort by the other exit on Pope Avenue, and then just down the road there is a shopping area with banks, chemists, supermarkets, etc., etc. Cycle paths are everywhere. When you rent your bikes, have them delivered to the resort, and after that, you can cycle from the resort almost anywhere on the island.Best Things About the Resort:It's well maintained, both inside and outside the unit. It's really close to the beach, although not on it, a 5-minute walk. The pond has alligators...

The resort is very well-kept and within walking distance of the beach and of many shops, cafes, and restaurants. The pool is wonderful and has a wading area for toddlers/babies. I really enjoyed taking our baby there every day. I met lots of other families there from all over the U.S.
The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Our microwave wasn't working, and someone was up in about an hour to replace it. Our room was a little disappointing, only in the fact that we traded an AB (two units) which sleeps eight and received a one-bedroom unit that would sleep four. I didn't think it was of equitable comparison. The furnishings were nice, but again, they were not up to what we were used to in our Orlando home resort. Hilton Head itself...

Best Things Nearby:A grocery store and shops are within walking distance. Also, the beach is only about a half a mile away.Best Things About the Resort:Everything is relatively new. Several gas grills are available around the pool. They have a game room with board games and puzzles.Resort Experience:We had four people in a one-bedroom unit, two adults and two teenage girls. What we missed the most was a second bathroom!
The kitchen was small; only one person could be in it at a time. The placement of the dishwasher under the sink made it difficult to load and unload it. The unit was only stocked with enough dishes for four, so we had to run the dishwasher twice a day!
The living area had one sofa and a chair, so seating was...

On-site amenities include three pools and a hot tub, and the units are large and in excellent condtion.Resort Experience:Waterside is a place we would stay at again. It is two blocks from the beach, so quite a walk if you have a lot of gear, but not too...

Best Things Nearby:Very kid-friendly -- kiddie pool, heated pool, and a pool with a zero-depth entry, all of which were great for the kids. Within walking distance to Coligny shopping, dining, and beach. Activities were varied and included crafts, biking/walking, and nature walks/talks. A lagoon passes between resort buildings with a bridge to cross -- it's full of turtles that love to be fed (very entertaining for kids) plus several alligators that showed up a few times during the week.Best Things About the Resort:Very kid-friendly -- kiddie pool, heated pool, and a pool with a zero-depth entry, all of which were great for the kids.
