Life on the Cay

Calibogue Cay. That's all you really need to say. Within the secure, manned gates of Sea Pines Plantation, this neighborhood is tucked away off the beaten path, and many find it by mistake as they bicycle or stroll down the causeway while nature-watching. As they reach the big oaks, the street forks to the left or to the right, both ways leading to a cul-de-sac--either way down a narrow street, canopied by centuries-old live oaks. The Cay is surrounded by water, so each home on either side of the street has direct ocean access, whether on the sound or the creek, providing its owners with waterfront living, a relaxed lifestyle complete with boating and fishing at leisure.

One of the most exclusive addresses on Hilton Head, the Cay offers stunning homes for sale. Nearby are miles of white sand beach, a world class yacht basin, the Harbour Town Golf Links, shopping, dining and endless leisure paths.

Is it a Deal or a Steal?

I do not use the words "deal" or "steal". In my professional opinion, they tend to cheapen the experience of purchasing, owning and enjoying luxury property on Hilton Head. It is not a deal if the property doesn't meet (or exceed) your desires and needs; and it is not a steal if it is in a poor location or improperly priced. Attractive pricing is a large component in purchasing a property, but there are other more important--yes, more important--aspects of property purchases. I can help you assess your needs, desires an goals when looking at or comparing island property investment strategies without the wheeling-and-deaing nonsense.

Whether you want a home in Sea Pines or an oceanftont villa in Palmetto Dunes, today's pricing is competitive, often with motivated sellers. To be sure, today's home, villa and lot prices are, as low as they have been in many years. Truly, it is a great time to buy, whether you are purchasing for retirement down the road, for investment purposes or for a current change in lifestyle.

Hilton Head Island is an amazing place with its beaches and tidal marshes, preserves and nature trails, beautiful architecture and gentle neighbors. It is a place where over a million visitors enjoy a short escape each year--and where a great many of those visitors fall in love with and with to either immediately move to or retire to someday. Are you one of those "someday" people or are you a "today" person--someone who shapes your dreams today and embarks on a vision to make it happen?
