HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA
Regularly honored with awards from industry-leading travel sources, such as Travel + Leisure and Conde Naste Traveler, Hilton Head Island is packed full of adventure both indoors and out. The second largest island on the East coast next to Long Island, Hilton Head Island is a can’t miss destination and an incredible place to call home. The island is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway and is part of the South Carolina Lowcountry, close to Savannah, Georgia, and less than a hundred miles south of Charleston, South Carolina.
A popular destination spot, the island is lined with 12 miles of spectacular beachfront along the Atlantic Ocean. Affectionately touted as the “crown jewel” of the South, Hilton Head Island embodies the charm, hospitality, and understated elegance unique to the South. With a strong appreciation for the environment, the island was consciously developed in such a way as to avoid obstructing the natural beauty of the area. Lining the beaches with single-family homes and no beachfront roads means these areas remain private, untouched havens for residents.
On Hilton Head Island there is always a great time to be had on the fairway! With some of the most premier golfing experiences in North America, golf fans will exult knowing there are over 20 world-class golf courses in the Lowcountry area. Furthermore, many other private and public golf courses on the island have been carved by golf architect legends such as Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus.
