Major Renovations Underway for Hilton Head Island’s Iconic Tiki Hut and Beach House Resort
The Beach House Hilton Head Island is entering a new era as it embarks on a staggering $11 million renovation project that promises to rejuvenate its iconic landscape. With construction kicking off in October 2023, the revamped resort is set to open its doors at the beginning of Spring 2024, much to the delight of its dedicated patrons and the broader community.
Exciting Changes Managed by EOS Hospitality
These ambitious renovations are orchestrated by EOS Hospitality, a company that took over the Beach House resort in March 2022. Their vision aims to blend modern comfort with the quintessential Tiki vibe that the establishment is known for, offering an exciting array of new amenities and experiences.
The Tiki Hut Gets a Makeover
The heart of the renovations centers around the beloved Tiki Hut, an iconic fixture that first opened its doors in 1977. Known for its whimsical atmosphere and vibrant live music scene, it is set to undergo significant enhancements. The renovations will see the Tiki Hut expanded with a larger structure that boasts more bar space and seating areas, ensuring that visitors can enjoy unobstructed views of the stunning beach scenery.
A New Stage and Event Space
In a strategy to bring more excitement to the venue, the music stage will be relocated closer to the beach, allowing for better acoustics and an energized atmosphere. Additionally, a brand-new outdoor event space, known as The Dunes, will offer an open-air pavilion for gatherings and concerts, amplifying the resort’s appeal for events and celebrations.
Introducing Weekend Brunch and Entertainment
Guests can look forward to the introduction of weekend brunch services to the Beach House for the very first time. This exciting offering will feature live music along with delectable Lowcountry-inspired dishes that embody the rich culinary heritage of the region. The revival of the brunch tradition aims to draw in locals and tourists alike, enhancing the social experience at the beachfront locale.
Upgraded Pool Area and Cabanas
The renovations also extend to the pool area, which will be completely replaced with improved amenities that cater to modern needs. New furnished cabanas, equipped with 42-inch TVs, mini bars, ceiling fans, sectional lounge sofas, and USB power outlets, will elevate the guest experience and provide the ultimate relaxation atmosphere.
A Temporary Escape During Renovations
While the Tiki Hut is undergoing its transformation, a temporary bar known as the Tiki Nest has been established on the second floor of the Beach House and is open to the public. This pop-up bar allows visitors to continue enjoying their favorite drinks in a vibrant setting while they await the completion of the renovations.
Maintaining a Sense of Tradition
Despite the extensive changes, the Beach House is committed to retaining its unique character. The palm-thatch-leaf roof, a signature aspect of the Tiki Hut’s design, is crafted by Big Cypress Tiki Huts, a skill passed down through generations from the Seminole Indians. Notably, the original crew of bartenders and servers will remain, ensuring that familiar smiles and exceptional service continue to greet guests.
Enhanced Features for a Memorable Experience
Once renovations are concluded, visitors can anticipate a wealth of new live music features and dining experiences. Planned enhancements include weekend brunches during the summer and fall months, further solidifying the Beach House as a top destination on Hilton Head Island. The addition of fire pits will also enhance the beachside experience, providing cozy spaces for socializing as daylight fades into twilight.
Budget Increases for a Bright Future
While the renovation project was initially estimated at a lower budget, costs have risen by approximately $2 million, reflecting the commitment to ensure every aspect of the remodel meets high standards of quality and guest satisfaction. As the Beach House Hilton Head Island prepares for its grand reopening, the excitement is palpable within the community, making this renovation a highly anticipated event.
