Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, United States
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort
Tucked beside Broad Creek on Hilton Head Island, Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort is styled after a 1940s South Carolina fishing village, with a down-to-earth, low-key feel that's unusual for a Disney Vacation Club property. Whether you're an owner weighing up a sale or a rental, or a buyer sizing up the resort before making an offer, here's what the facts actually say.

The resort and its setting
Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort sits at 22 Harbourside Lane, on the marshy banks of Broad Creek on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Rated 4.8 out of 5 from nearly 1,900 Google reviews, it's consistently described as a relaxed, nature-leaning retreat rather than a theme-park-style destination — Google's own summary calls it a "down-to-earth island resort themed after a 1940s fishing village," with dining options and outdoor pools on site. The low-rise, weathered-wood architecture and quiet creekside setting make it feel more like a classic Lowcountry fishing camp than a typical Disney Vacation Club resort, which is a big part of its appeal to owners who want a slower pace.
The area and things to do
Hilton Head Island is one of the best-known coastal destinations in the southeastern United States, famous for its beaches, golf courses, and bike-friendly lanes winding through maritime forest. Broad Creek itself is a tidal waterway popular with kayakers and boaters, and the island's marinas, seafood restaurants, and nature trails are all within easy reach. Beaufort County, which includes Hilton Head, is known for its salt marshes, historic Lowcountry towns, and wildlife — look out for dolphins in the creeks and herons in the marsh grass. The island draws a steady mix of families, golfers, and couples looking for a beach break with a slower rhythm than some of Florida's busier coastal resorts.
Selling or renting a week here
If you own a week at Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort and are thinking about selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.
Because this is a Disney Vacation Club resort, a few brand-specific rules are worth knowing before you price a listing. Disney charges a $500 Contract Administration Fee on resale contracts signed on or after 1 January 2026, and Disney holds a right of first refusal, meaning any resale contract must be sent to Disney at least 30 days before closing — Disney can step in and buy the contract back on the same terms. Resale trackers have reported Disney exercising this right on anywhere from 3.7% to 15% of resale contracts in 2026, depending on the tracker, so sellers should factor that possibility into their timeline. Brokers typically estimate a transfer takes around 45 days to complete once a deal is agreed.
Buyers should also know what a resale purchase does and doesn't include. According to Disney Vacation Club, resale points bought for certain newer resorts — including Disney's Riviera Resort (for contracts dated from 19 January 2019), Villas at Disneyland Hotel, and Cabins at Fort Wilderness — can only be used to book at their home resort, and resale buyers don't receive Membership Extras, which are reserved for those who buy directly from Disney. It's worth checking how these restrictions apply to any specific contract before committing to a price.
Practical notes for buyers and renters
Renters tend to ask the same core questions no matter which resort they're considering: which season or points level the week falls into, how many people it sleeps, and whether outdoor pools and dining are available on site — all of which apply here. Because exchange network affiliations aren't confirmed for this resort, it's best for buyers to ask the current owner directly about any exchange options rather than assume access to a particular network. As with any resale purchase, it pays to confirm the current annual maintenance fee with the seller before agreeing a price, since this isn't something a marketplace listing can set for you.

Travel Tips
Hilton Head's weather is at its most pleasant in spring and autumn, which also tend to be quieter than the peak summer months when families dominate the beaches. A bike is genuinely useful here, as the island has an extensive network of cycling paths connecting the resort area to beaches and shops. If you're renting a week, ask the owner whether a car is needed or whether the resort's location makes it easy to get around without one.
