Hilton Head in March and April is one of the country’s best family spring-break destinations, and most people do not realize it. The island stays quiet (no South Padre crowd), the Atlantic warms up enough to swim by early April, and the golf courses are at their peak condition before summer humidity hits.
Mid-March: cooler (60s-low 70s), pool is not comfortable yet, but trails, bike, and restaurants are wide open. Early April: 75-degree afternoons, Atlantic at 68 degrees, the week before tournaments. Both great, different trips.
The RBC Heritage is mid-April. That week, Sea Pines is full, villa rates are 40% higher, and Harbour Town is closed to public play. Fine if you are going for the tournament; chaos if you are not.
Easter week is consistently the busiest non-summer week. We book it six-plus months out, and the villas left by March are almost always the ones that were not booked for a reason.
March has a 30% chance of a three-day Atlantic low. April is drier. Pack rain gear either way and a plan for two-plus rain days (we will send you the indoor list).
If you need guaranteed pool weather and 80-plus degrees every day, pick May or later. The Atlantic does not really warm up for swimming until the second week of April. Hotel/villa rates on the tournament week (mid-April) are bad enough that we steer most clients to the week before or after.

Different trip, different priorities. These are the other Hilton Head trip types we plan most often.
Three minutes of questions. One business day until we come back with a quote. No sales pitch. The trip gets built for you, not for whatever the algorithm happens to be boosting this week.
