Hilton Head - Relaxation and Sophistication in the Low Country

One the difficulties in determining where to take the perfect beach vacation is finding a popular destination that isn’t utterly over-developed and commercialized. Hilton Head, South Carolina is one of those rare gems that manages to attract over 2 million visitors every year while maintaining a spacious feel and a relaxed state of mind. When you rent a vacation home in Hilton Head, you’ll be in close proximity to all that this island paradise has to offer.

Hilton Head is sometimes referred to as “Golf Island,” and there’s a valid reason for this. Golf has been a Low Country tradition since the earliest Scottish immigrants to South Carolina arrived, and that tradition is alive and well on Hilton Head as there are more than 20 championship public golf courses (4 of which consistently rank in the nation’s top 100) available for visitors of area vacation rentals.

If golf isn’t your thing, then you won’t feel left out. Dozens of other activities are available, including tennis, hiking, biking, bird watching, kayaking, sailing, or fishing. Nature lovers can visit one of Hilton Head’s nature preserves and perhaps catch a glimpse of the island’s four-legged inhabitants, including deer, bobcats, otters, minks, and boars. Or maybe your ideal vacation is simply kicking back on the deck of your oceanfront home and watching the bottle-nosed dolphins pass by in the ocean while you enjoy a classic Hilton Head sunset beneath pastel-colored skies.
