We managed to book 3 days midweek at Ocean Oak on Hilton Head island last week.
The rooms themselves were first class. The building itself is a 6 story "L shape", with rooms 1-7 perpendicular to the beach and facing south - and rooms 8-11 are facing the ocean. We were in room 2 with a partial view up high even though it was a "standard" room. The master had a large bathroom and a large shower with a good sized tub and double sink vanity - and it had a slider window with access to the lanai (as does the living room). The second bedroom had 2 twins with a decent sized shared bathroom with the living room. The units were really upscale and comfortable.
Parking was under the building and some spaces were reserved for a building that is literally surrounded by the "L" (all rooms of it face north). I suspect that HGVC gave parking and/or pool/beach access rights to neighboring buildings to fit in the tight footprint. There is room on the south of the building and towards the back of the property to build another building - it appears they have cleared room but who knows if they will wait until sales reach a point in the main building to start a new one.
The bar/restaurant was open and had shaded seating. It is smaller but a nice feature and next to the pool and convenient. You then have a short walk to the beach, which is very nice too with a steady breeze. Having been in FL a lot, the water is not as clear but the beach setup was great and there were no issues with having your own chairs and umbrella. The beach was very busy but that makes sense in the summer.
The staff was very friendly too. The only drawbacks are that if you leave something outside your front door (which we only did for a few minutes as we were prepping to go TO the beach) the staff may pick it up (thankfully that is what happened). Also, they close down the pool and hot tub access at dusk.
Overall a very nice place to be if you can get in.
