Life on Hilton Head: A Breath of Fresh (Salt) Air

If one were asked to list three things that make Hilton Head Island special, the list-toppers would be (in no specific order): beautiful homes and villas, pristine beaches and amazing golf.  That is a fairly generic list when one is comparing resort destinations with a real estate purchase in mind.  It is certainly true that resort destinations with pretty homes and villas, beaches and golf courses exist up and down the coast.  What, then, is it that separates Hilton Head from the rest—what makes it so special?

The obvious answer is that our differences are what make us special.  Having been in the real estate sales business on Hilton Head for nearly 30 years, I can tell you there are MANY things that set Hilton Head apart—and above the rest. Customers and clients often tell me they toured other islands and resort areas before deciding on Hilton Head—and could hardly wait to get back to the island. Their decision to make the Island their home/home away from home was not all that complicated. The list-toppers there are (in no specific order): the sheer beauty and quiet luxury of the area, the lifestyle and the plethora of activities.

That says it all.  Call it your own.  Call it home.  Call Bill True.

P.S. This is me holding Big Red. While he was too big to keep, he was well worth the effort to catch, though fishing the waters around Hilton Head could hardly be referred to as effort.  More of a privilege, I’d say.  Fishing is my relaxation; it’s how I recharge.  Everyone is different and we all have our own escapes. Be a responsible angler.  Tag and release—unless you are catching dinner.

Time spent on Hilton Head may well be the secret to a life well-lived.  Or is it a well-lived life?  Either way, you ought to try it.
