Holiday Hill Resort is operated seasonally each year.  We open May 1st every spring and close the third week of October annually.   Reservations can be made up to one year in advance.  Calendars for the next season open up in early July annually and future reservations can be made with a one-night refundable deposit.  

Holiday Hill is located on top of a Sand Dune and therefore requires MANY STAIRS or a steep driveway for access.  We do not recommend the property to those with very limited mobility.  There is limited parking at the top of the driveway, but space is always available for drop-off and pickup.  We also provide a reserved space in the main lot with our partners at Beachway Resort.  The original luggage trolly is available for those staying in 730 Hilltop House.   Stair count is provided below for each unit. The stairs are separated by several landings for rest if needed. 

​

UNITS  701, 702, 703   - 55 Stairs from the bottom parking  /  8 Stairs from upper parking & drop-off 

​

UNITS  700, 730           - 65 Stairs from the bottom parking  / 15 Stairs from upper parking & drop-off

​

UNITS  720, 722           - 85 Stairs from the bottom parking  / 25 Stairs from the upper parking & drop-off

The pool is shared by all Holiday Hill guests staying in the 5 Suites and 2 Cottages that make up the resort.   There is always enough space for everyone, even on the busiest holiday weekends you won't find yourself struggling for a table or lounge chair.   

​

The pool is heated, cleaned, and monitored daily by our professionally trained staff.

​

We guarantee the pool to be open from MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND until the FIRST DAY OF FALL every year. Before and after those dates, we are beholden to the weather and cannot guarantee an early opening or late closing of the pool.  

Unfortunately due to the nature of the property and shared common spaces PETS ARE NOT allowed at Holiday Hill.  There are some wonderful boarding options available locally however.
