Surfwatch is the best resort for families! We have a 6 and a 10 year old and our kids loved it. The resort had so many activities for the kids. My daughter loved the dressup tea party and all the crafts they had set up. I had a great time meeting all the families that were around the pool. Ocean pool and bar was awesome! I highly recommend this resort for families or anyone really! Everyone was so nice and helpful. The boardwalk out to the ocean is so Carolina. Love it!

Just returned from our second visit to this property. My parents own in Floriday and this is the second year that she exchanged to Surf Watch. Our family of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids) comfortably enjoyed a 3 bedroom/3 bath unit. We took advantage of the large kitchen to prepare meals to avoid taking such a large party to a restaurant. We love the modern furnishings and have been fortunate to stay in buildings that were in close proximity to the beach both years. We enjoy looking out over the marsh as we utilize the boardwalk to get to the beach.

We have had pool views both years but because of our February visits opted to just admire the view. This year the weather was actually in the low 70s so several people did take the plung in the pool and at the beach.

We don't stay the whole week like my parents do so I can't speak to the activities. I did view the schedule and there are several planned activities for children, adults and families. Most have a small fee assoiciated with them. The fitness center is not open but you can get a pass to use a facility at one of the other Marriott properties on the island.

As with a number of timeshares there is a charge for maid servie and if you want fresh towels there is $13 charge for a 3B. Luckily we brought detergent with us and were able to use the small capacity (but up to date) washer and dryer that was in the unit.

Only downside is that this place isn't available to us on a trade during the summer. I'm sure we'll be heading back next year if it is available.

We spent a week at the Marriott Surf Watch last month and absolutely fell in love with the property. We are from the West and this was our first time staying on Hilton Head. Our 3 bedroom unit was new and nicely decorated.

The grounds at the Surf Watch are amazing. The hotel itself is set back from the ocean with a protected wet lands area that you cross to access the beach and beach pool/bar area. We were very impressed with the layout and loved our little walk on the board walk where we daily saw many different species of birds and butterflies. All around the property are signs that point out and explain the different birds, plants, ocean currents and other interesting property facts.

Our favorite place, when we weren't golfing or traveling to Charleston and Savannah, was the beach front pool and bar. What a lovely set up. We took long walks on the beach and had great drinks at the bar. On Tuesday there was a musician who played the saxaphone and sang down at the beach pool, he was great! We loved Hilton Head and the beautiful scenery. We had wonderful food at The Old Fort Pub and also at Hudson's on the Dock. We bought groceries at the Piggly Wiggly down the street. Staying at this location I would definately recommend having a vehicle.

We would definately recommend this property to anyone. It was a great vacation.

We had a great time. There were plenty of activities available at (or through) the resort, but we chose to take it easy - play a few rounds of golf, sit at the pool, and walk the beach.
Rooms were spacious, mondern, and clean.
We've alreday made reservations for same time next year.
