Our family was on the way home from a Disney World vacation when we stopped to visit Hilton Head Island on the recommendation of a friend. After spending several days on the island we knew that this was the place that we would want to come year after year as long as we could share the costs of ownership with others who would like to rent from us. We now are coming down not only with our children but with our grandchildren who love vacationing there as much as we do. Last summer Ava, then 6 and Nile, then 8, turned into real swimmers and would spend hours doing either frog and dolphin-like strokes and searching the ocean floor for sand dollars which they kept under water so as not to hurt them. This was truly a life-changing summer vacation. The girls went home to sign up for swim team and soon after were telling me about their flip turns and swim events. We hope that you will read the comments many of our guests have made to see how many special vacation opportunities abound and will find the magic of the island for yourselves.
