2026 Forest Beach Vacation Rentals: The Coligny Circle Lifestyle
In Forest Beach, the car stays in the driveway. Most of our neighbors spend their entire stay on two wheels because everything worth doing is clustered around Coligny Plaza. We specialize in residences that put you in the middle of this walkable district. Whether you’re staying in the quieter, residential lanes of North Forest Beach or the active side of South Forest Beach, you can throw your keys on the counter the moment you arrive. From morning coffee to evening ice cream, you’re never more than a five-minute pedal from the shops and local bistros at the Plaza.
If you want the real inside track, keep an eye on the tide charts. At low tide, the Atlantic recedes to reveal a wide, hard-packed sand highway that is better than any paved trail on the island. You can cruise for miles along the coast, heading down to the Sea Pines boundary or just enjoying the breeze. Our villas and condos are positioned to give you direct access to these paths. We focus on this part of the island because it offers the most connected Hilton Head experience—no gates, no car passes, just the beach and the trails at your doorstep.

Explore North & South Forest Beach
North Forest Beach vs. South Forest Beach Forest Beach is divided into two distinct areas. North Forest Beach is known for its quiet, residential feel, featuring mostly single-family homes on "The Avenues." This is the ideal spot for families seeking Homes with a Private Pool and a little more privacy.
South Forest Beach is the hub of activity. Here you will find a mix of beach cottages and popular condo complexes like Seaside Villas. Staying on the south side means you are never more than a short walk or bike ride from the Tiki Hut, the Coligny Beach Park, and dozens of restaurants.
A Beach Lover's Paradise The defining feature of this area is the wide, hard-packed beach, which is perfect for biking at low tide. Unlike the private gated plantations, Forest Beach is open and accessible, giving it a classic beach town vibe. Because of this open layout, many of our properties are incredibly friendly to four-legged guests. Be sure to check our Pet Friendly Rentals in Forest Beach to bring your dog along for the fun.
