Greetings from Canada, We (2 of us) and our standard poodle are looking
for a cottage, beach house or condo for the month of Dec. 2003.
Max, the poodle does not bark, chew etc. On the Budhist scale, he missed
human barely. We are homeowners and real estate agents from Ottawa and
promise to hand the property back to you in better shape than when we got
it. Anyone know of properties?

We started visiting Hilton Head Island several years ago. We visited Sea
Pines, The Dunes, South Forest Beach, South Beach, and Shipyard. Each area
had pros and cons. We seemed to enjoy the plantation life by far more than
staying at South Forest Beach or one of the other areas that were not a
plantation. The landscaping is unbelievable in the plantations an
experience one must experience to believe. Our favorite was Shipyard due
to the size, location, price, and landscaping. Shipyard does not have
villas directly on the ocean. But many are within a few minutes walk to
the ocean. There is a 27 hole golf course located in the plantation. The
plantation is the smallest plantation on the island meaning very little
traffic. The bike paths are shaded, which is wonderful in hot weather in
the summer. The Crown Plaza offers dining in the plantation and
entertainment on the weekends too. The Crown Plaza has a seafood buffet
one must try, call for the details. They change it around and there are
different combinations on different evenings. We enjoyed Shipyard so much
we purchased a villa at Colonnade Club that we intend to make our home in
the future, currently we rent it out and take the tax deductions for a 2nd
home. I can understand tourist's fellings relating to not being able to
see the plantations, but coming from an owner's view point, we pay
thousands of dollars each year to landscape these plantations and to
provide security to minimize the amount of traffic in the plantations.
Most of the plantations are extremely quite due to this very thing and
that is what brings many returning tourist to Hilton Head Island year
after year. If you would like to see the plantations I would suggest you
stay in a plantation so you will be able to experience it.

From May 25 thru 31, five of my friends and I stayed in a VIP Villa on Sea
Pines Planation. I've travelled all over the world to many resorts and
such but I've never experienced the perfect serenity of Hilton Head. As we
stayed just across the road from Sea Pines Plantation Club, we were in
walking distance to the Beach Club, and our friends staying at The
Marriott Monarch. Since we drove from the Washington DC Metro area,
everything was quite convenient for us. Shop Piggly Wiggly and all the
stores at Coligny for a local experience. You must visit The Salty Dog at
South Beach, experience the Wing menu at Wild Wing, walk Harbour Town at
Night, and select any number of great restaurants for at least one special
evening. I played Harbour Town Golf Links and I do recommend the
experience. I also recommend Old South, one of the US 100 Best Public
Courses, and one that will make you think. Next year, I'm sure I will add
several more fave courses to the list. Hilton Head has become my favorite
getaway after just one visit. Memorial Day week has now become Survivor:
Hilton Head Island! :)

Vacations at Hilton Head now include free internet access at the homes of
relatives in the area. As such we can now enter memories of our visits on
a real time basis as opposed to waiting several months when time permits
in the real world. Given that, today's thought is: Make sure you go with
the wife to Bed, Bath and Beyond or she'll buy the wrong paper towel
holder and now you're stuck with it. As always, the best part of HHI is
just sitting and watching the squirrels and bad drivers.

Another couple and ourselves are going to HHI this July and are staying
in a villa for most of the week- but we are going between the Marriott
Golf Resort and the Westin for the remaining couple of days we are there.
Does anyone have a preference? The Marriott was supposedly just renovated
last year and the Westin about 7 years ago. Both look nice but we would
like to go to the NICEST of the two. If you have any suggestions, please
email me!! Thanks alot!! We can't wait! June 2002

We'll be coming to HHI the week of June 15-22 and would love to meet a
young person who is responsible and would like to babysit a few evenings

or email address and we'll get back to you!

As a local resident of the "lowcountry" find all the comments very
interesting and informative. I have a few "off the beaten path"
suggestions for restaurants. For a very special eveing try The Sunset
Grille. It is on the island's north-end (close to the bridge). This is a
place for couples (not kids!!). They have an eclectic and "mostly"
reasonable wine selection. It is a small restaurant with seating for only
about 40. Try to make it for the sunset - they are awesome. The menu is
small but everything is very fresh and Chef Brad works wonders in his tiny
kitchen. Try the seafood cake appetizer or the "smoked" seafood platter.
Shrimp & grits are yummy. good steak. Be sure to call for a reservation,
especially Thursday-Sat. This is a locals place - fills up fast! Also for
lunch or breakfast try Signes down on the south end. She makes the best
blueberry muffins! Her salads are really good too. Also a good French
restaurant is Le Bistro. They serve lunch & dinner. They make a rum cream
pie that is sublime! As far as golf goes -the Jones course at Palmetto
Dunes is going through a major renovation. Try it out later this year -
should be awesome!

We have been to Hilton Head many times and love it. I am looking for a
list of private owned oceanfront condos to rent from. Does anyone know
where I can get this? I do not want to rent from a rental company. Thanks

Our family has visited HHI for a number of years every July or August. We
have always stayed at the Beach and Tennis Resort which has great beach
access and is a good combination of economy and activities available. We
very much recommend having a family member retired in the area who has a
34 foot sailboat. For the nominal cost of a case of wine, one can get one
or more sailing trips in the sound without having to work much. If you are
fortunate enough to save the boat from certain damage, you can be rewarded
with a cold one and a towel. Our family loves the area and look forward to
visiting in 2002.
