Having the beach a 3 minute walk was perfect.
This home is wonderfully placed in a peaceful surrounding with great views of the tranquil lagoon. We enjoyed the pool and all the outdoor spaces. Our large family was able to gather in all the shared spaces but still be able to enjoy different activities in proximity. The property is well maintained and appointed. The neighborhood for fabulous to walk and bike around in the shade of the majestic moss flocked oaks.

Home away from home
We had the best time while vacationing at this home in HH. There were 8 adults and 2 young children in the house and we had plenty of space. We were absolutely impressed with all of the features of the home. If you can think of needing something, this house had it. We are also considering doing a thanksgiving stay in this property as it has everything we need. The living space was perfect, the outside areas were amazing and all very convenient to the beach. We felt like we were right at home. Check in was easy and informative. And the welcome package and pool towels were a plus. Looking forward to booking our next stay at this amazing property!

Wonderful home
The house was just as pictured. Furnishings were tastefully appointed. The view was beautiful and the home was easily accessible to the beach. Everyone had their own room and bath and was most comfortable. The younger members shared the bunk room which was so nice as each bunk had their own curtain for privacy and light for reading, etc.

Beautiful, fabulous place!
11 of our family stayed here for a week. It was so beautiful. We loved the kids' room -- two sets of built-in bunk beds, complete with curtains closing each bed, and each wall had its own light. So all 4 kids could read in their own little nests. It was wonderful. Very well stocked and lovely! Nice pool too. The management was very helpful for any questions.

Great Stay
We had a very nice trip to Hilton Head. The house is lovely and just steps to the beach. We would certainly return to 85 Mooring Buoy.

Best Hilton Head Vacation in 20 years!
It is no exaggeration to say that our family's time at the home was a perfect 10. The home and its ammenities exceeded our expectations and made for a perfect week. The home's high end finishes and furnishings are so well done, the views of the lagoon are even prettier than pictured, and the outdoor space and landscaping added to our enjoyment. The pool is perfect for a family with young children with ample space for wading and playing in shallow water. We loved the huge fridge, two dishwashers, ice maker with its endless supply, and the ease of preparing meals in the kitchen. There is nothing this home is lacking and we definitely plan to return for future vacations!

2025 Beach Renourishment Project 2025 Beach Renourishment Project

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS provided by the TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND

Hilton Head Island's beach is crucial to both residents and the local economy. To preserve this valuable resource, the Town has planned a beach restoration project for Summer 2025, funded primarily by tourism through the local Beach Preservation Fee.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
  • The 2025 beach renourishment is expected to be similar to the previous projects in 1990, 1997, 2006 and 2016.
  • The proposed project will include the placement of approximately 2.2 million cubic yards of beach compatible sand from up to four offshore borrow areas along about 46,500 ft of Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  • This project is part of the Town's ongoing beach management program, with renourishment scheduled every 8 to 10 years, depending on weather and beach conditions.
  • Pine Island in Hilton Head Plantation will be included in the 2025 restoration.
SAND PLACEMENT

The proposed project will include sand placement along five areas of the island shoreline:

  1. South Beach / South Island - Approximately 750,000 cubic yards of sand along approximately 10,230 feet of the southern Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  2. Central Island - Approximately 700,000 cubic yards along 28,860 feet of Atlantic Ocean shoreline.
  3. The Heel - Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of sand along 5,280 feet at the northeast point of the island at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  4. Fish Haul Creek - Approximately 50,000 cubic yards of sand along about 2,130 feet of Port Royal Sound shoreline.
  5. Pine Island - Approximately 180,000 cubic yards of beach compatible sand and construction of six rock breakwaters on the Port Royal Sound shoreline of Hilton Head Plantation between Dolphin Head and Pine Island.
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

The nourishment sand will be excavated by hydraulic dredge from two offshore shoal features.

  • Up to 50,000 feet of pipeline will be trucked or floated to the island by way of large rafts, then moved onto the beach.
  • The pipeline will be piled in stacks along the shoreline until needed during construction.
  • During construction, many miles of pipeline will be submerged on the ocean floor between the offshore borrow sites and the beach.
  • The rest of the pipeline will be laid progressively along the newly constructed beach as the fill sand is pumped on shore.

The dredge will pump a mixture of sand and seawater through the pipeline, and will discharge it onto the beach.

  • There, it will flow parallel to the shoreline - allowing the sand to settle out and the water to return to the sea.
  • Bulldozers and other heavy construction machinery will constantly shape the sand to meet the design specifications.

Project construction is expected to last approximately six months, operating around the clock.

  • On average, the process should move along the shoreline at a rate of about 200 to 300 feet per day.
  • As the fill placement progresses, approximately 1,000 foot sections of the beach are closed temporarily to pedestrian access.
  • Several days of work activity will occur seaward of any one piece of oceanfront property in the 1,000 foot active work area along the beach.
  • Once placed and rough-graded, the new beach is immediately reopened to the public.
IMPACTS ON RESIDENTS AND VISITORS
  • Construction noise will primarily involve bulldozers shaping the sand as it is deposited.
  • Disruptions at individual properties generally last about three or four days as the renourishment operation progresses.
  • Adjacent property owners, or renters, may experience short-term minor inconveniences.
PROJECT BENEFITS

Preserving Hilton Head Island's beaches supports the local environment, economy, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike

The project is sponsored and funded by the Town of Hilton Head Island and engineered by is Olsen Associates, Inc.
