Marriott's SurfWatch

We stayed here for three nights in two-bed rooms and enjoyed our stay. The condition of the rooms was great, and they are quite spacious. The fitness center was quite good with modern equipment. However, in order to enjoy this place, one needs to have a car. Nothing is within walking distance (except the beach). Also, this vacation club does not have any restaurants. It could have been better if there were more social activities such as free wine tasting. We enjoyed hiking at Sea Pine Forest Preserve, which I strongly recommend if you stay here. We encountered small alligators there!

The grounds are gorgeous and well taken care of. It is a beach resort and therefore right on the beach. However, depending on which building you’re in it can be a pretty long walk. It’s a very nice walk over a boardwalk I’m sure designed to run above protected land so we didn’t use them but there are golf cart type of shuttles going back and forth for those with the need. The pools are well located, we preferred the one closest to the beach. This is a family resort. There tended to be fewer small kids at this pool than at the main pool. This ocean side pool was where the resorts only restaurant was located. The pool bar, Sea Salts, offered great drinks and good food. It was your standard bar type menu. Our room was fantastic, clean and well appointed. There’s no maid service unless requested. The beds were relatively comfortable but the pillows were less than desirable. The staff we encountered were all friendly and eager to help. Overall a great stay.

This was our first trip to Surfwatch. The villas are set up well. The staff is very friendly. The beach is over a boardwalk, if the walk is too much for you, they have a shuttle service. We are in a 2 bedroom villa with a great view of the ocean. Like all Marriott villas, the kitchen has everything you need if you want to eat in the room.

The stay was perfect as usual here. We've been here many times and it is always a breath of fresh air. The staff are always pleasant and helpful.

I absolutely enjoyed everything about this property! It was conveniently located to stores and restaurants, and I never had to travel more than 15 minutes to any given site or activity. The view from my balcony was amazing . My college friends and I, met up for our annual girlfriends reunion in our 2 bed/2 bath villa and we agree hands down that this was our best stay ever. The indoor pool/ whirlpool and bike rentals were very enjoyed.

This is our home away from home! We own a week, but try to stay here whenever we can! The staff is just wonderful, especially those at the pool near the beach. The food at Sea Salts is wonderful when you don’t want to go back to tour room during a beach/pool day. Personally, I’d love to be able to build a foundation with a garage and basement at home, and put the 3 bedroom floor plan on top of it as the main living area. It is the PERFECT condo floor plan, and the master bath is outstanding!! It might sound strange to look forward to using the shower, but once you experience it, nothing else compares.

Everything about the place was tremendous. If I'm every in Hilton Head again, I wouldn't think about staying anywhere else

The Resort was very nice but the front desk agent could use a lot of training on customer service when we arrived our unit was not ready they said they would text when it was ready ok that would be fine when we returned the unit was still not ready 10 mins before 4pm ck in time the front desk agent said to my mom checkin time is not for another ten mins and was very rude about it will be staying at grande ocean in the future where great customer service is

An amazing place to stay! Very clean, quiet and updated. So much to do on the propery!
