Experience the Best of Hilton Head from Shipyard

Welcome to The Waterford Retreat, a recently renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo tucked inside the beautiful, gated Shipyard community on Hilton Head Island’s desirable South End. If you’re looking for a location that gives you the feel of a private resort while putting you close to everything Hilton Head has to offer, this is it.

Wake up each morning overlooking the first hole of the Galleon golf course, surrounded by towering live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. From the moment you enter Shipyard’s gates, you’ll feel like you’ve escaped into a peaceful Lowcountry retreat—yet restaurants, breweries, shopping, the beach, golf and some of the island’s best biking are all just minutes away.

A True Hilton Head Biking Experience

One of the best parts of staying in Shipyard is being able to explore the island on two wheels. Miles of scenic, tree-lined paths wind throughout the community and connect you to the beach and surrounding areas. Ride beneath enormous live oaks covered in Spanish moss, pass lagoons and ponds where you’ll often spot alligators and abundant Lowcountry wildlife, and stop along the way for some of the most picturesque scenery on the island.

The beach is easily accessible by bike, and you can continue along the shoreline or make your way toward Coligny Plaza for shopping, restaurants, ice cream and entertainment. It’s the kind of Hilton Head experience where you can park your car and spend the day exploring by bike.

And the location gets even better. New Orleans Road, just outside Shipyard, is home to a fantastic collection of restaurants, while The Bank, a popular brewery, is conveniently located near Shipyard’s side entrance. On the other side of the community, Local Legends Brewing is just outside the main entrance. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner, a cold beer, coffee, shopping or a day at the beach, you’re never far away.

Golf at Your Doorstep

For golf enthusiasts, this is one of the most convenient locations in Shipyard.

Our condo is less than 100 yards from the Shipyard Golf Club bag drop, making it incredibly easy to walk over for your tee time. Just beyond the bag drop is an excellent practice facility with a large grass driving range, expansive putting green, chipping area and practice sand bunker.

You can literally wake up, grab your clubs and be practicing within minutes.

Despite being so close to the golf amenities, the condo itself sits in a quiet, peaceful setting overlooking the Galleon course—giving you the best combination of golf convenience and Lowcountry relaxation.

Your Private Beach Getaway

Shipyard offers private beach access for guests, along with convenient beach parking. Spend the morning on the beach, ride your bike back through the shaded trails, cool off in the pool and finish the day with dinner or drinks nearby.

The community pool is just steps from the condo across the parking area, making it easy to take a refreshing swim whenever you want.
