“Just Like Home”

Spinnaker at Shipyard

Sep 17, 2006
8/9 found this review helpful

Condo - we had a 3-bedroom, 3 bath unit overlooking the children's pool. It wa spotless clean and slightly dated in decor. It had 2 king size beds and 2 twin beds. The kitchen had fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer -- the full works of dishes stocked etc. The beds were comfortable with 30" TV in each room. The living rooms sofa/chairs were slightly dated in decor but comfortable.

Each bedroom had ensuite bathroom, with jacuzzi tub in two of them and very spacious and clean. Lots of towels, with 1-ply toilet paper and 1-ply kleenix tissue was the only fault seen. Big no-no: NO hair dryer!!! Slight wallpaper peeling in certain locations and the odd chipped or stained counter top, but nothing severe.

Waterside shut down quiet as library by 8 pm, so if you are looking to party here, you won't find it.

Pools were average in size, no trouble getting a chair. Beach walk about 10 mins. "Beach" basically a slab of concrete -- no white sand it was just a huge packed block of sand for miles. No worries about getting sand in your bum, as there isn't any. Could not lie on beach, need chair to sit. Water warm with mild waves, but chilly upon exit of water.

Resident Alligator unseen by us, but lots of turtle food for gators in the lagoon.

Overall, would recommend Waterside for a quiet stay of golf golf golf and fun in the water. (not lying on beach)

I have stayed at Waterside by Spinnaker in the Shipyard Plantation in January 2005 and in May 2006... both stays have been in 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, full-kitchen units with washer & dryer in the unit... the units are clean, well decorated and spacious... the maintenance & housekeeping staff has responded cheerfully, courteously, promptly and competantly to all minor problems/requests... the unit's balcony overlooks a quiet lagoon... the opposite side overlooks the outdoor pool, hot-tub and nature center... the ground level of each unit provides covered parking with luggage carts... the resort has an activity/recreation center with internet access... although not on the ocean shore, the resort is within a comfortable walk for most people (a free shuttle service is also available)... the Coligny strip mall with grocery store, restaurants, and assorted shops, adjacent to Coligny Beach, is nearby.... I was sufficiently impressed with the resort to buy a unit... Joe Tragesser

“Super Time at Spinnaker”

Just wanted to inform readers that the Spinnaker Condos are newly referbished and in great shape. Everything was in new like condition. The only draw back was the distance to the beach. We drove or rode our bikes to get there.
We had two 19 year old boys with us and they had a wonderful time. They enjoyed the band playing on the beach daily. They mentioned how friendly everyone was.
The only draw back on our trip was the traffic once you left your plantation...it seemed busy almost all of the time.

“Labor Day Weekend @HHI”

Egret Point, by Spinnaker resort, is on beautiful Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The resort is located within the Shipyard Plantation, a gated community.

The resort is within walking distance from the beach. Egret Point gives you the feeling of being a resident of the island. Egret Point is made up of two-story wooden chateaus, surrounded by beautiful golf courses, tennis courts, and lakes.

Our two bedroom villa was located on the first floor, close to the clubhouse and main swimming pool. When you first walked into the villa, a king size bedroom, and bathroom greeted you, off to the left. Immediately past the bedroom, was the kitchen. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook for a large family. The villa also had a large washer and dryer. After the kitchen, was a large living room/dining room combo. It had a large TV and CD changer, to entertain you. The living room also had a sleeper couch, for unexpected guests. The other bedroom was located off of the living room and included a king size bed and master bathroom. Both bathrooms had large Jacuzzi tubs and walk in showers.

The deck was located off of the living room as well, and had steps that led down to the path that would take you to the gas grill area. The deck came equipped with a patio set for four, which overlooked the lake.

A few stray cats wandered by from time to time, looking for a quick meal. The cats didn’t stay long, because animal instincts took over, as an alligator was lurking in the lake!!

The villa came equipped with two cruiser bicycles with a combination lock and baskets. There was a list of daily activities to choose from. Some were free, and some for a nominal fee. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 children. There was ample amount of space for all of us!! Hilton Head Island has a lot to do; from shopping, to relaxing, to sightseeing, to eating and entertainment. There are sport bars throughout the island, and can pretty much find anything close by. HHI is a great family Vacation spot. My family loves it.
We were there For Labor Day and it was not crowded.

“Enjoying Life on HHI”

20/27 found this review helpful

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 FL 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 over a lagoon. The resort was a short walk from the beach.

Waterside Resort has two pool, one hottub that I think is to hot(no one stay in it for long), and one kiddy pool
My whole family (husband and my father) had a good time.
