There's an old axiom to purchasing real estate, "location, location, location." That's exactly what folks have in mind when purchasing a villa or townhouse in Turtle Lane Club at The Sea Pines Resort.

Turtle Lane Club is a private gated oceanfront enclave of 13+ acres nestled in the heart of Sea Pines Plantation. It's located only steps away from the extraordinary top-shelf amenities offered by two of The Sea Pines Resort's finest attractions.

The first is the fabulous Sea Pines Beach Club, where you can embrace the ocean while dinning either indoors or on the seaside patio at Coast. You'll also discover the island's finest libations are served upstairs with endless views of the Atlantic Ocean at the sophisticated Ocean Lounge.

By the time Hurricane Irma passed across Hilton Head Island it was downgraded to a tropical storm and behaved much like a typical winter nor'easter. 

The winds were blustery and persistent and they gusted above 60 mph during the heaviest rain bands but none of this caused any real damage. Our problems came from the storm surge created by the massive size of Irma as she drifted north over the west coast of Florida and pushed a 4 foot wall of water up the east coast from Jacksonville to Charleston. This happend exactly as we were having an 8 foot king tide. The tidal gauge at Fort Pulaski recorded Irma's high water mark to be 12.24 feet which was just shy of Hurricane Matthew's record of 12.50 feet.

Our beaches took the same hit as they did during…

Few things are as peaceful as hearing the sounds of the surf and smelling the Atlantic Ocean breezing through our majestic pines.

Not long ago, a reporter called from Bloomberg News. He had a few questions about real estate on Hilton Head Island. His first question was: "Why are people drawn to Hilton Head?"

Having lived in Sea Pines by the beach for 43 years, my response was: "The natural beauty of the Island is the big draw, not just world-class golf, tennis facilities or miles of beach. We live in a unique environment with a subtropical climate where it is green all year long. We seldom see snow but see a lot of wildlife. When you live on an Island, you live close to nature. Outside of the study by my house, there is a "deer walk". It is a path that the human eye cannot see. Deer have been traveling that path for as long as I can remember. They stroll over fallen pine needles,…
