Every Stay Helps a Sea Turtle
Hilton Head Properties R&R Dedicates Sea Turtle Nests for 2025 Reservations
There’s something magical about watching the sun rise over Hilton Head Island’s beaches—and even more magical knowing those same shores are where endangered sea turtles return year after year to nest. This spring, you can be part of that magic.
When you book a stay for 2025 with Hilton Head Properties Realty & Rentals during the month of April, we’ll dedicate a sea turtle nest in your name (or in honor of your family) through our giveback program with Sea Turtle Patrol HHI—a registered 501(c)3 organization that works hard to protect Hilton Head’s nesting sea turtles and hatchlings.
Why It Matters:
From May through October, Hilton Head becomes home to hundreds of loggerhead sea turtle nests. Each nest holds the potential for over 100 baby turtles to hatch and make their way to the ocean. But it’s not easy—these little ones need all the help they can get to survive. That’s where Sea Turtle Patrol HHI comes in.
Their team of trained volunteers conducted under the direction of SCDNR permit holder, Amber Kuehn, patrol the beaches each morning during nesting season to locate, monitor, and protect nests. They collect vital data, rescue stranded hatchlings, and help educate the public on ways to keep Hilton Head turtle-friendly. The organization promotes awareness about these endangered species through public education and outreach efforts.
What You’re Supporting:
