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

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.
