Hilton Head Ocean View Rentals

An ocean view rental lets you watch the Atlantic from your balcony or living room without paying front-row prices. These villas and condos are close to the beach, usually a short walk away, and they often cost less per night than the units directly on the sand. How much water you see depends on the building and the floor. Some units face the ocean straight on, and others see it at an angle, so call us, and we'll tell you what the view from a specific unit looks like before you book.

What You Get With an Ocean View Rental

Ocean view units sit one row or more back from the beach. In exchange, you usually get a lower nightly rate, and some of these spots are quieter than the busiest stretch of beach. You still see the water from a balcony, a window, or an upper floor, and the beach is a few minutes away on foot. They're a good fit for couples and families who want the view and the location but don't need to be right on the sand.

Where Our Ocean View Rentals Are

All of our ocean view rentals are in South Forest Beach, and nearly all of them are right on South Forest Beach Drive. Most are at Ocean Dunes Villas, Seaside Villas, Carolina Beach Club, and Hilton Head Beach Villas, the same complexes as many of our oceanfront units. You get the same beach access, and you're just as close to restaurants, bike paths, and Coligny Plaza. Use the filters below to search by bedrooms, number of guests, and view. Each listing describes the view, so you can tell which units look straight out at the ocean and which see it from the side. .

Looking for a Unit Right on the Beach?

If you want a front-row unit with nothing between you and the water, consider our Hilton Head oceanfront rentals instead. Every rental on this page has a view of the ocean, but none of them are in the front row.

Ocean View Rental Questions

How much of the ocean will I see?

It depends on the unit. Some face the ocean directly, and others see it at an angle or from an upper floor. The listing describes the view, and our team can tell you exactly what a unit looks out on before you book.

Are ocean view rentals cheaper than oceanfront rentals?

Usually, yes. A unit a row or two back from the beach typically rents for less per night, and you still get the view and an easy walk to the beach.

How far are these rentals from the beach?

Most are a short, flat walk of a few minutes. Many are in the same complexes as our oceanfront units.
