Life on Hilton Head Island is more 12 miles of sandy Atlantic shoreline, 24 world-class golf courses, 250+ restaurants, 350 tennis courts, kayaking the pristine waterways that surround and meander through the island, cycling our 60+ miles of trails, exploring, hiking, fabulous shopping, building sandcastles and relaxing.

Hilton Head is happening all the time—not just in the high-season summer months. Fall is a wonderful time of year. Tourism shifts into a lower gear and many second-home and absentee owners return to the island during this time. It’s a quieter time, but no less to see and do.

Take a peek at the offerings during November!

hilton head island fun eventsThe word “fun” conjures images of times that have passed and times that are to come. The mere definition of the word “fun” is enjoyable or pleasurable; and that which is enjoyable or pleasurable is something the human psyche seeks, desires and acts upon on many levels. Hilton Head Island epitomizes many things: luxurious living, world-class amenities, a safe and welcoming environment for the entire family—and, yes, it is also blanketed in the word f-u-n, as in “We had fun on the beach,” or “Riding horses at Lawton Stables was fun,” or “Bicycling through the Sea Pines Forest Preserve was fun.” Fun, as defined in this article, is more than miles of beautiful beaches, lazy days, moonlit nights that illuminate the surf, wooden rope swings over the creek,…

hilton head real estateHilton Head Island is known for many things and carries with it the hard-earned and meticulously guarded accolades that world-class resorts tout in their marketing brochures.

Add to that our top-ranked tennis facilities and programs which are the envy of the country, bike paths that crisscross over land and water, hundreds of fine and casual dining options, and prime fishing in the calm inshore waters.

hilton head islandWe all know real estate is local—and unique. No matter the city, town or island, each parcel of land, condo, villa, townhouse and home is different. Ergo, trends in San Francisco or Miami or New York City or Aspen do not translate to what is happening on Hilton Head Island with regard to real estate pricing or sales momentum. They just don’t. Though exceptional in their own right, they have a different base with differing desires. Yes, they too are high-end vacation destinations with breathtaking views and luxury amenities and, yes, they too attract a discriminating, educated buyer. However, the comparison stops there. Even closer and seemingly more similar locales such as St. Simons Island or Amelia Island (alike only in that they are islands) are also…
