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.

If you are looking for the best place to stay at Hilton head, you found it here at Lazy dog villa! A quiet, more secluded place in Shipyard is what vaca is all about and all the great amenities this villa has makes it even better. The best part is that it’s dog friendly…and communication with Chad and Ingrid is exceptional, they go out of their way to make sure your stay is stress free and you enjoy your vacation!

We loved this property! The layout is fantastic with a large living room for gathering with a large screen TV. Everyone also loved the 3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. 2 rooms with king beds and the other with 4 beds was perfect! The kitchen was well stocked and we had more than enough towels and paper products. Shipyard is great with its bike paths, golf course, beach, and security. Communication was superb and all minor issues were handled immediately. I would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the Lazy Dog villa was fantastic. The villa was clean, spacious and centrally located on HHI. The onsite pool is very nice and easy access to the beach by the Sonesta Resort. This is our 2nd time staying in the Shipyard gated community. Once again we were able to see the resident alligator outside the pool! Amazing!

If you’re looking for an amazingly relaxing vaca…the lazy dog villa checks the boxes! This place had a great kitchen including a Keurig and coffee pot, 2 sinks and lots of stuff to make what you want. The open layout had lots of space but still felt cozy with a nice big comfy couch overlooking a picture window to see plenty of wildlife around the pond but the gem was the completely screened patio. We opened the doors to enjoy the breeze in the dining room and sitting on the patio and having morning coffee with my pooch was the best. All 3 bedrooms had en suite bathrooms, they were all roomy and not cramped, the deck off the kids twin bedroom was great to enjoy as well. The unit was the cleanest we have stayed at so far in the last 7 places and it was very quiet as you are near the end of the complex. Lastly, I appreciate good, timely communication as a renter and I was so happy thru out the entire process and stay that we definitely will come back here again!
