The Spotlight on Waterside by Spinnaker Resorts

Beachy Vibes and Spacious Comfort Near the Music

Modern resort living meets island relaxation at Waterside by Spinnaker Resorts, just a short walk from the beach on Hilton Head Island. This laid-back property offers spacious condo-style accommodations with full kitchens, living and dining areas, and private balconies. With a family-friendly feel and resort-style amenities like two outdoor pools, a hot tub, and an activity center, it's a comfortable retreat before and after your concert nights.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love Waterside’s peaceful, residential setting just a couple blocks from the beach—ideal for winding down after a show. It’s far enough from nightlife to enjoy quiet rest but close enough to reach live music venues and local bars by car or rideshare. The resort’s late 1:00 AM check-out is a rare bonus, giving you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a spacious condo with a kitchen
  • Solo travelers heading to see a favorite artist and craving quiet recovery
  • Couples making a weekend getaway of music and beach time
  • Fans needing quiet after the concert crowds
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate space and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While Waterside doesn’t have on-site restaurants, each unit includes a full kitchen for late-night snacks or group meals. There are plenty of walkable dining spots nearby, including casual beach bars and breakfast cafes that open late enough for concert recovery. Barbecue facilities on-site are perfect for grilling before heading out.

Nightlife Options

Though the resort itself is more about relaxation, Hilton Head’s local bar scene is a short drive or rideshare away. You’ll find laid-back pubs, live music venues, and oceanfront lounges scattered around the island. After the show, come back to your condo and chill on your private balcony with a drink in hand.

What People Say

Reviews mention the spacious condos and cleanliness as top highlights, along with the great location near the beach and restaurants. Guests love the value for money, especially for groups, and the quiet atmosphere that helps them relax after busy days.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that WiFi can be spotty in certain areas of the resort, and that parking can be tight during peak times. Since it’s more of a resort than a hotel, there isn’t daily housekeeping, which can surprise some guests.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, roomy, and well-located base after a live music night, Waterside by Spinnaker Resorts hits the right note.

Liked: We love this place! This was the second time we stayed here, a repeat of our spring break trip last year. This time, my daughter joined the previous group of my teenage granddaughter and friend and my 8-year-old grandson and me.First of all, the apartment is perfect! It has a LARGE open kitchen/dining/living room with sofa bed and two spacious bedrooms and baths to one side. There is also a balcony that can be accessed both from the living room and one of the bedrooms.The facilities at the resort are great, too. There is a heated pool with a basketball hoop on one side of the lagoon and adjacent to the main lodge, there is a larger unheated pool, a hot tub, a ping pong table, and a large connect four game. You can get tokens at the desk for food to feed the turtles from the bridge across the lagoon. There are also alligators in the lagoon. In fact, a mama alligator had just hatched 7 babies while we were there, but they had to make sure no one got too close to her.There is no restaurant on the property, but you don't need one because you're only steps away from the restaurants at Coligny Plaza and along the main road (Pope Ave.). There's also a large grocery store (Piggly Wiggly) at Coligny Plaza along with lots of shops and fun things for kids to do.You're also an easy walk to the beach, but if you have things to carry, like our rented umbrella and chairs, you can call the free shuttle. There is also a fabulous playground across Pope Ave called Lowcountry Celebration Park. My grandson even found some school friends here by chance!
Disliked: We loved it all! The perfect apartment in the perfect location!

Nice resort in great location

Liked: Location and unit size
Disliked: Main pool water is cold and there’s no where to go if you want a quiet pool. They need to put all toys and basketball at the main pool and leave the 5800 building pool as a quiet pool. No ice machines
