Discover the Quiet Side of Hilton Head in Shipyard

Guests often tell us that one of their favorite things about Lazy Dog Villa is its peaceful setting inside Shipyard. While the villa feels tucked away from the island’s busier areas, beaches, restaurants, golf courses, shopping, and family attractions are still close by.

Shipyard’s winding roads, shaded paths, mature live oaks, and scenic lagoons make every walk or bike ride feel like part of the vacation. Bring your own bikes or enjoy the two provided with the villa as you explore beneath the Spanish moss and watch for deer, turtles, great blue herons, egrets, osprey, and the occasional alligator around the lagoons.

Sports lovers will appreciate having pickleball, tennis, basketball, and the community pool just outside the villa. Golfers are also close to Shipyard Golf Club, which features 27 holes across its Galleon, Brigantine, and Clipper courses.

When it’s time for the beach, ride or drive toward Shipyard’s beach access near the Sonesta Resort. You can spend the morning by the ocean, return for an afternoon swim, and end the day on the screened porch overlooking the lagoon.

The Lazy Dog Local’s Guide

Start Your Morning Slowly

Make coffee at the villa’s dedicated coffee bar and enjoy it on the screened porch while the lagoon comes to life. Mornings are often the best time to spot deer, turtles, herons, and other wildlife around Shipyard.

After coffee, take your dog for a walk beneath the live oaks or use the provided bikes for a quiet ride through the community.

Plan an Easy Beach Day

Pack your beach gear and head toward the Shipyard beach access near the Sonesta Resort. Going earlier in the day usually means cooler temperatures, a quieter shoreline, and easier bike riding.

After the beach, return to the villa for lunch, relax by the pool, or enjoy some downtime on the screened porch before heading back out for the evening.

Take Advantage of the Courts

The pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts are located right outside the villa, making it easy to fit in a game without planning a separate outing. Bring your own paddles and balls, or enjoy a casual family game before cooling off in the nearby pool.

Explore Coligny

Coligny is a convenient stop for restaurants, shopping, ice cream, and entertainment. Families can also visit nearby Lowcountry Celebration Park, which offers a playground, open green space, walking paths, and seasonal events.

Make Time for Harbour Town

Harbour Town is a classic Hilton Head outing. Walk around the marina, browse the shops, visit the lighthouse, and enjoy views of Calibogue Sound. It is especially enjoyable in the late afternoon or early evening.

Enjoy a Quiet Night at Home

Some of the best vacation evenings happen without leaving the villa. Grill dinner in the courtyard, play board games, relax in the living room, or enjoy a glass of wine on the screened porch while listening to the fountain.
