Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

We're going to be visiting relatives on Hilton Head Island in mid-November & would like to do some kayaking (not tours -- we'll have our own kayaks with us) while there. Could you provide any information on this? We're interested in perhaps paddling over to Daufuskie Island....also around in marsh areas, inlets, waterways behind the island, etc. Any information you can give us would be VERY MUCH appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, My question is rather simple. Some time ago I was given a beer mug from Hinchey's Chicago Bar. Since this is my son-in-law Ken's name I would like to buy some for him. He loved the one I gave him. However, I bought mine off eBay. Could you see if Hinchey's would sell me some of their mugs. 
Thank you so much, Pat O'Brien

Can anyone give me legitimate information regarding the best way to locate reasonable rental lodging in the Sea Pines area for August 1999? I have received several vacation packets; but would welcome suggestions from those who have been there. Is it beneficial to go through an agent or a service? Or is one better off researching on their own? Serious replies and suggestions would be appreciated.

I am a single mother of two daughters- 15 and 6. We are planning to vacation on Hilton Head next summer and are looking for a 2 bedroom condo to rent. We have vacationed on Hilton Head many times and have always stayed in the Sea Pines area. Some of the places we have stayed are Lagoon Villas, Gleneagle Green, etc. This is the type of condos we are interested in. I have written to several rental agencies and they have sent me rates which seem much higher than I remember paying before. So I wondered if there were any condo owners out there who handle their own rentals (at perhaps a better rate). The things we really enjoy on the island are bicycling, beaching, swimming in a good pool, good restaurants, and exploring. Please let me know if you have anything available.

Hi all! I have the chance (possibly, anyway) to visit HHI at the end of March/beginning of April. However, I could only get away for a long weekend (3, maybe 4 days) and it's a looooong drive (9 hours or so) to HHI from my house. What I'd like to know from all you HHI "regulars" (or if you've ever visited at this time of year) is would it be worth my while to go for such a short time at this time of year? Are there enough things to do (swimming is probably out unless I could find a heated pool?) in Hilton Head at that time of year to make the trip worthwhile? I love walking on the beach, etc, and I know it's fairly warm in March/April (at least compared to home!). What do you think? All suggestions would be helpful! TIA, Tracey tlovedittoe@yahoo.com

I've been to Hilton Head twice and stayed both times in the North Forest Beach area. I love the entire island and want to return anytime from September, 1998 forward. I am looking for a home or condo on or near the beach that can accomodate two adults and two PERFECTLY behaved older Golden Retrievers for up to one month. My last two vacations were wonderful but I missed my 'kids'. They are getting a little older now and have never seen the ocean. I am retired and spend all my time making sure the pups are trained and well mannered. If anyone can direct me to a home owner who is also a dog lover. . .please contact me at my e-mail address (katelyn@fairfieldi.com), at (614) 569-7766 or at RR1 Box 125 Hide-A-Way Hills, OH 43107. Thanks and I hope to visit soon!!! Judy McClelland

June 7-14/97. Once again had a grand time on the Island. Took the advice of some of your Travelogue readers & tried out a few restaurants. The sandwiches at Philly's are indeed a great find. Tried both locations. Preferred New Orleans Rd atmosphere-but excellent food at either. Also tried OLD FORT PUB. Saved it till our last nite, and wish we had gone earlier in the week, so we could have spent many more outings there. Beautiful sunset,absolutely superb service, and terrific food. It didn't seem to matter whether customers were ordering from the pub menu, (munchies & lighter fare) or the full dinner menu, the staff were attentive, super friendly and very accomodating to every request. Frequented by many locals,(a good sign) with many many Chicago Bulls fans peeking in at the TV in the bar. (may have something to do with the fact that Michael & family have a home in Wexford!) We had the best time there, and after a dozen or more visits to HH in the last 6 summers , it is now our fav for that type of dining. However, we still will frequent the Wild Wing a tradition we have created since our very first visit!! Does anyone have any info on the Players Club Resort/Inn?? Can't seem to find much. Friends have a stay/play golf pkg. they are interested in using, but would like to know something about the place first. We just couldn't offer much in that regard. Appreciate any response, positive or otherwise. Hoping to get back in late August, for another week, until then looking forward to checking out Travelogue updates. Thanks.

Also, we are an active and athletic couple, are there good bike trails on the island (besides the beach)?

Editor's Note: Palmetto Dunes is a 2000 acre section of Hilton Head Island. The island is logically (& sometimes physically) separated in to sections including Sea Pines (at the toe), North and South Forest Beach (next to Sea Pines), Shipyard Plantation (next to South Forest Beach & in the 'instep'), Palmetto Dunes which is next to Shipyard (is Port Royal between these? I forget :-)) which is also in the instep, then further down are Port Royal, Palmetto Hall, Folley Field, etc. Each area I've found is distinct in activities and attractions. Sea Pines is the oldest area and is a mix of residential and resort rental properties. Palmetto Dunes is newer and is primarily resort rentals properties including 2 hotels. The Disney property is a timeshare which I believe is in Shelter Cove which is the sound side area associated with Palmetto Dunes.

Help, please! My fiancee and I are looking for a place to spend our honeymoon (Aug. 3-10), and have been considering Hilton Head. I know several friends who have been there, and they all enjoy it tremendously. My question, is it suitable for honeymoon. We are looking for a nice beach to relax upon, some good restaurants, and the other extras like horseback riding, shopping, etc. Jennifer doesn't care much for golf, so I don't know if I will be able to play or not. But, if someone would give me some tidbits of help, you would be helping me tremendously. Thanks a bunch!

Hello, my name is Stephen Davis and I am a student at Elon College. A small group of my freinds and I are visiting your island from April 25-27 for a small vacation away from school. Four out o fhte six of us enjoy bodyboarding and surfing. I was on the World Wide Web last night searching for information on wave heights and conditions but I was unable to find any. I did find the ordinance that states that there is no surfing or bodyboarding insid ethe designated swimming area's but that was the only information on surfing that I was able to obtain. I was wondering if you could send me any information on wave heights and conditions or any web addresses that would contain this information for Hilton Head Island.

We have been discussing a visit to Hilton Head this June or July. Would appreciate any information on accomodations, activities, best areas, etc. There would be two adults and two teenagers--although we've been tossing around the idea of allowing them each to bring a friend. That would depend on the type of accomodations and rates we find. We are not golfers or tennis players, so the beach would be the main attraction for us. A clean, well-kept, beachfront condo in a nice, safe area--that is still affordable--is what we're looking for. Any suggestions or input about the area would be appreciated. thanks 1/27/97

In the past four years we have vacationed at HHI and stayed at the Crowne Plaza Resort (formerly Crystal Sands), but this year we thought we would rent a villa in Evian, if possible. Could you send rental info or possible agencies to contact. We need to sleep 5. We have come down the last to March breaks, and the two summers prior. In March we found other than golf and tennis, you could not veg in the pool or the ocean. Weather was great (60s and low 70s) but not as nice as being in the hot summer time. More action and people and activities to do in the warm months. Also at the Crowne Plaze (which is a fabulous hotel) we found in March a lot of business conventions there and they took over the hotel more or less. Otherwise, a great holiday spot for young and old. My son roller blades and bikes all day long and my self and my daughter find plenty of shopping. The Southern hospitality is great. My husband got a hole-in-one in Shipyard's course and that was a bonus on last year's holiday. Golfing is expensive especially if you want to take a teenager with you. Las Vegas Golf & Tennis is a great place for golf and tennis bargains, and so is Players World. Guiseppe's great for salad and pizza. Up here in Toronto we look forward to a friendly visit to HHI in the very near future. It is only a short 17 hours drive down and it is such a beautiful drive. Any rental information would be appreciated. Thanks.

We have come to HHI two summers in a row, and then two March breaks in a row. We find the summers more enjoyable because of the longer days, and the fact that you can enjoy the pool and ocean. This year we may come in May. We have stayed always at the Crown Plaza Resort, which is fabulous, but this time we may try a condo rental in Shipyard. Any suggestions on the best rental (I need 2 or 3 bedrooms, and a deal on golfing)? HHI is great. We used to go to Naples every year, but HHI is so friendly and southern that we have enjoyed it more. We're from Toronto. I enjoy reading everyone's comments and I like the HHI expert also.

Editor's Note: One of my favorite areas to stay on Hilton Head is South Forest Beach. It's a great location and since the area is not in a gated community, the rentals are quite reasonable. A word of caution though - be sure to ask any rental agent the EXACT conditions of the condo. Many of the South Forest Beach villas/condos were built several years ago and not all of the owners have updated their properties.

We have never been to Hilton Head before. We are contemplating going over Christmas week and staying at the new Disney resort there. We would prefer to be going to Walt Disney World to stay at the Vacation Club, where we have stayed many times before, and like very much, but for one quarter the cost and one day's less driving (We drive from Canada), we can have the same accommodation at Hilton Head. So, my question is, has anyone ever stayed at the Hilton Head Disney resort and, if so, how did they like it? I have found no mention of it anywhere in any of the Hilton Head internet information. My further question is, would it be dreary and depressing to be at Hilton Head at that time of year and should we not persevere with the extra day's driving to get to Florida?

Editor's Note: Hilton Head Island is a great place to get away. I'd recommend a nice dinner at Cafe Europa (on the water at Harbor Town). Or perhaps a dinner cruise? Be sure to stop at the Visitor's Welcome Center on the way in to pick up brochures and a current calendar of planned events.

WE HAVE 4 ADULTS AND 4 CHILDREN AND WILL BE IN HHH FROM AUG 3 TO THE 10 WE NEED A NICE PLACE TO STAY WITH A POOL AND CLOSE TO THE BEACH PLEASE HELP US OUT. EMAIL ROOSTER@THOMSON.NET

Editor's Note: Our HHI Expert recommends Fish Creek Landing (843-785-2021). They are able to deliver and pick-up bikes to almost anywhere on the Island.

My husband and I are planning a trip to HHI in August and we are planning to stay at the Hilton Head Island Beach and Tennis Resort on Admiral's Row, south side. Can anyone tell me about this place? Is it nice? I'd also like to try one of the dolphin watching cruises I've read about on the net. Has anyone done that? Any other suggestions would be great!

My fiance and I are looking to get married at Hilton Head next April of 1997. I have been going to Hilton Head since I was a little girl and it truly holds a special place in my heart. We are wanting a small, intimate wedding, preferably outside, for only 80 people. We have looked at a couple of places but haven't found the "right one." Any suggestions?

We just returned from HHI having rented a house in Sea Pines Plantation from May 4-18. We had absolutely perfect weather the entire time! We have vacationed there for most all of the past 20 years and are interested in buying a retirement home on the Island. What is the job market like for an upper-level executive? Where are the best areas to live? How is the real estate market? We would appreciate hearing from Island residents, especially those who are transplants. Thanks!

We're planning to send my parents to Hilton Head Island for their 50th wedding anniversary at the beginning of Sept.1996. My dad loves golf and mom loves to shop. I'm looking for a nice resort with good golf, nearby shopping and some nightlife. Thank you for any ideas you can offer.
-- Pat Ackroyd (ackroyd@worldnet.att.com) submitted 5/17/96
Editor's Note: Hilton Head Island is a perfect spot for golf, shopping, and nightlife. You might want to look at Palmetto Dunes which is about mid-island. They have 5 nice courses and several different types of accommodations. Also, there is a hotel in Shipyard which is conveniently located. Any other suggestions out there?

We visited Hilton Head last (1995) and loved it. We plan to return in July, 1996 and will stay again at the Shipyard. One of our pleasures was riding bikes everywhere. Be sure to rent them ahead for the week. Restaurants we liked were the Wild Wing (very casual & laid back) - very good wings & salads; Crazy Crab was excellent; Fuddruckers had great hamburgers (our teens enjoyed it). Does anyone know anything about the Savannah Trip by ferry? We would like to try it this year. Thanks, The Schmidts.

I have never been to Hilton Head Island before, but will be attending a seminar during mid May 1996. I will be staying at the Hilton Resort. Should I stay elsewhere, or is this place suitable. Any other general suggestions would be appreciated.
