What I like most about this home is the fact that it has three defined levels.

The elevated ground floor features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a media room and access to the patio and pool. It is perfect to accommodate the kids or guests with a comfortable 2,236 total Sq. Ft. Even better, each room has its own balcony, which is so nice to step out on right after waking up in the morning.

The second floor is perfect for entertaining, with a spacious open dining/living area, fireplace and an extremely impressive ocean view. The large open kitchen allows for watching the beach waves while you cook. The extra large patio provides not only a breathtaking view, but enough room for an outside dining or cocktail party.

Here we are almost at Summer's end. Some schools in the area have already begun and we can see some winding down of visitors in some restaurants, beaches and shops. The lazy hazy days of Summer have traditionally not been active busy months for buyers. That is no longer the case. People are more interested in inquiring and purchasing real estate this year than in the previous five. Hilton Head winning Travel and Leisure's best island in the US (#1) for a third year in a row has opened some eyes to the abundance of activities and opportunities on this island.

Having grown up here from the time I was 9 years old, having attended the

When we decided to buy a home on Hilton Head Island we knew nothing except that we loved it on HHI. We had no knowledge of the housing market, the history of the subdivisions and plantations, what areas were good or bad and for what. We knew nothing. What we did know is that we needed a realtor with a thorough understanding of all things Hilton Head that we could trust implicitly.
