I have been going to Hilton Head for over 20 years!! You could say I
am an expert at the island events and places to visit. Hilton Head is a great
place to spend a summer. Whether going down to Sea Pines and having a drink at
Harbor Town or taking the kids to see Greg Russel. He is a great guy. Going out
on the charters to fish is also one of my things I like to do ( I always catch
a fish). The bike trials are another great way to spend part of your day. It's
like the trials go on for miles! Don't worry about finding a good place to eat,
there are tons of seafood restaurants. There is always a restaurant to let you
have what you have been craving for. If you're a golfer there are great golf
courses to challenge you. The beachs are wonderful and the service on Hilton
Head is excelent. If you have an questions about the island e-mail me at

Just got back from 8 days. Had a wonderful time. Don't worry about
finding a place to eat or something to do. Just sit there and let it happen. We
didn't plan any of our days and had a wonderful relaxing time. Ended up in
Harbor Town, rode bikes, played golf, walked, sat, ate, drank and sat on the
beach a lot. I need some assistance please, In all of the places we ate I never
got my fill of she crab soup. If someone has an exceptionally good reciepe,
would you PLEASE e-mail it to me? This was our 9th time to the island and we
will be back in the fall. Thanks for the memories.

My husband and I started coming to HH in 97. We spent our 1st aniversary there and we go back every OCT. I was born on the west coast and I grow up in Va Beach, VA. I now live Charlotte, I really miss being surrounded by water. So my husband I travel a lot to the coast. From the NJ to the GA coast. My Favorite is HH Follow by Litchfield Beach. I would love to rent a house or villa for a week, and one day retire there. I tell everyone I meet about HH. It is time for my next visit I can not wait to get there (wallDna@aol.com.
Our family thought we would try Myrtle Beach this year for vacation. We had gone to Hilton Head the previous 5 years. There is no comparison. We will be returning to the Island again. We like the lack of hussle and bussle and laid back approach on Hilton Head.Cant wait to return (alyssa@alltel.net).
Being an 18 year old from California I was not excited about Hilton Head. My attitude was if I want to go to the beach I could be there in 20 minutes, why fly for 8 hours. But the agreement with my parents was a week at Disneyworld and a week at Hilton Head for a family reunion. I am so glad I went! Hilton Head was an awesome relaxing break from the fast pace of Disneyworld! I had so much fun enjoying the small town atmosphere and sandy beaches. I can hardly wait till our next family reunion! Thanks for such an awesome time. I can only hope that Hilton Head doesn't become as popluar on the west coast as it is on the east. Rachel (no e-mail submitted)
THERE IS NOWHERE ON EARTH LIKE HILTON HEAD ISLE-MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS. IT HAS CHANGED ALOT-BECOMING MORE COMMERCIALIZED BUT AT LEAST IT STILL HAS PRESERVED THE NATURAL SURROUNDINGS. THE SAND IS THE WHITEST I HAVE SEEN AND THERE IS NOTHING LIKE TAKING A STROLL ON ALONG THE OCEAN AT SUNRISE. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I COULD SAY ABOUT HILTON HEAD-THE DOLPHINS-THE PLANTATIONS, TENNIS, GOLF, BIKING, CRABBING, SUNRISE-SUNSET-MAJOR PHOTO OPPS.-FISHING -SAILING-THE MAJESTIC OAK TREES WITH MOSS STREWN THROUGHOUT THEIR BRANCHES AND OF COURSE GREGG RUSSELL IN SEAPINES-BUT THERE REALLY ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY AND FEELING OF THIS EARTHLY PARADISE (lynneann@hiltonheadisland.com).
Just returned home from a week on Hilton Head Island. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation. We loved it. We can't wait to go back and bring our children - it is a great family location (shelly@mmcable.com).
Just returned from a week spent in paradise (HHI). We love it there. It was our 9th time visiting and my kids think of it as the greatest place on earth. This year we brought our neighbours with us and they, too, fell in love with it. Can't wait to get back (mardi@mnsi.net).
I've been visiting Hilton Head for over 5 years now, and it is truly
heaven on earth! The people are great, the beach is amazing and the food,
delicious! Some favorites; Crabby Nicks, South Seaport Cafe. Friends of mine
own a new wine store on the island, More than wine, and it's turning out to be
a great little place. I'll be back next year and following years to come!

Just returned home from two weeks in Hilton Head. I've been going
there for the past 11 years with my family and it keeps getting better and
better. There truly is no better place to spend a vacation. We'll be back next
year and in years to come.
Justin Jakab<JakeBHS33@aol.com> Cleveland OH USA
Having 3 active children, we have tried ocean resorts from Maryland to Florida, only to find that HHI remains our favorite. Truly, HHI is the best place to be (jstef3@juno.com).
My family and I have absolutely fallen in love with Hilton Head! We have made it our vacation spot the last three years and have no intention of EVER going anywhere else! It is perfect for families. Thank you to the people of Hilton Head for making it a great vacation (eddiem@usit.net).
We can't wait to get back to the most beautiful island on the
eastcoast. Chris,my wife, and I try to spend as much time as possible in South
Carolina and on HHI. What we like most are the huge varity of sport activities
and the Seafood places, can't get enough.

Hey everyone, Hilton Head is the best island for kids and adults.
Kids can ride bikes on tons of bike trails!!! And can also play golf, go
swimming, and millions more!!!! Adults can go fishing, play golf and millions
more too!!! I've been going to Hilton Head for 13 years. It is really neat.

Hi Hilton Head Island, The whole island and the landscaping is
awesome. All the commercial signs camouflaged. That is really impressive. We
will pass the word along to our family and tell them to go South to Hilton
Head. Sincerely, Art and Rose Pranger

I just recently started visiting the Web site for Hilton Head Island
and I think it's just great! My wife and I have been coming here to Hilton Head
for about 5 yrs and can't wait to retire here. We own a villa @ Palmetto Dunes
Queens Grant and come down from Ky about every 6 weeks. We have been searching
for a "place" to retire and of all the places we have been (including
Florida,Colorado and Texas) Hilton Head seems to fit our needs best. It's on
the coast, nice beaches, plenty of recreational activities, good restuarants
and shopping. And good waterways (we like boating) and bicycle and
walkways!

As a kid, I went to Hilton Head with my family over 20 times. I now
look forward to taking my own family now.
David R Leng <davidleng@aol.com> Pittsburgh, PA USA
I simply love HHI. I am 12 years old and I have been going since I was 6 mos. old. We go every year for 3 weeks. It is so beautiful there, and when you arrive you know you are in paradise. There are no high-rise buildings or neon signs. That is what I love. The beaches there are so peaceful, and that is the only way I can live. (go_christin@hotmail.com).
In my opinion Hilton Head Island was the most beautiful place that I
have ever been before!!

My husband, two kids and I take two (or more) vacations every year.
We've been up and down the east coast and many places out west. We've also been
going to HHI every year for the last 9 years. Nothing can compare. It is the
most relaxing vacation ever! We enjoy the restaurants, the beaches,and the
shopping. The natural beauty of the island is incredible. Everywhere you go,
the people are friendly and helpful. We will continue to make HHI one of our
vacations every year.

was PERFECTION! Love, love, love Hilton Head
Joan Sailley <SkiJoan24> Fairfax Station, VA USA
I recently visited Hilton Head for the first time. I was totally
awestruck by the natural beauty of the island. Being from New York, I am very
accustomed to the commercialization of all businesses. It was really great to
see how all of the businesses on HHI are required to advertise with signs that
blend into the surrounding natural beauty of the island. The shopping is
wonderful, the food is great, the people couldn't be nicer and the beaches are
incredibly clean. I am planning on my next HHI vacation already. There is
something for everyone to do on the island.

You could not ask for a better Island. We come every year in August and
sometimes in May. The restaurants are wonderful and you could not ask for
better shopping. The beach is so beautiful and clean.

I love the ocean, my dream is to walk the beach and pick-up seashells

but the best!
Megan Read <SweetSunni@aol.com> Gaffney, SC USA
Hilton Head was a fantastic Island. Full of excitement and lots of
things to do. You were always busy and the beaches were awesome! I have never
been this far away from home and I hate to fly, but Hilton Head made it all
worth while!!!!!!!

Denise Eads <deads@op9.com> Conyers, GA USA -
We absolutely love the Island! It has so much to offer that we have
to be careful to plan time to just sit back and relax! Hilton Head is located
close to other wonderful places like Savanah and Beaufort which are rich in
history. We have enjoyed our time there so much that we are now considering a
time share.
Paula Mitchell <PMitch3755@aol.com> Sevierville, TN USA
Gorgeous. As peaceful and prosperous a landscape as can easily be imagined. My first experience of the island was over 10 years ago when I was only equally as old in years myself. My family and I have been returning annually to the island ever since. Simply one of my favorite places on earth. Michael Wells. (smw2683@siena.edu ).
Hilton Head Island is truly paradise. Please don't ever change anything about Hilton Head. We love the private homes on the beaches, the sea turtles laying their eggs, and rescuing star fish. This is the most wonderful place we have ever visited. We hope to make it permanent one of these days (gann3@aol.com).
Absolutely the best place we have found to take family. Great atmosphere for all ages. Not alot of the riff-raff one would find at other resorts. Every place on the island is unique. Stephen Gregg Dalton, GA USA
I love Hilton Head. Its better than Disney World!

I have been to Hilton Head with friends and family and I don't think
there is a better place to vacation on the east coast. It is a perfect

There is no other place like Hilton Head! We visit for 2 weeks each year and hope to move there one day. It's a "magical" place! Just like the island theme song says,"...where the wishes you make, come closer with each step you take." We love you HHI! Chris & Donna Becker Glendale Hts., IL USA
I love your beautiful, relaxing island. Susan Sinram (FSinram@aol.com) Bay Village, OH USA
We've been travelling to HHI since 1991. We bought a timeshare and love our 2-3 weeks every year. Lots to see & do, we try new things every year. It feels like home. Great people, restaurants, beach, shopping , fun and relaxation. Summer just wouldn't be right without our time on the Island. (rcg2@inforamp.net). Burlington, Ont Canada
Been vacationing on HHI for over 20 years now. Hope to retire there. Many changes (for the good!) over the last 20 years. Thom Rehling (trehling@iquest.net) Carmel, IN USA
The island is the most relaxing, understated, yet sophisticated place I have ever lived or visited. It would be an ideal place to raise children or to retire. Cathy Akin (ca5304@aol.com) Nashville, TN USA
The best combination of forest, beach, water, golf, boating, weather, upscale amenities, privacy, security, and people on the entire Atlantic Coast. I've visited two dozen "retirement/vacation" resort areas, and keep coming back to Hilton Head. I can't wait until I move here permanently. William F. Rupp (WFR3000@AOL) York, PA USA
Hilton Head Island is the best vacation spot I have ever been to. My best friend and I loved it. There were so many places to shop and eat. We loved how we could get everywhere by bike. It was so pretty and clean and the most different thing I remember was that there weren't any neon signs. Thanks for an awesome vacation! :-) Kristin Williams (kristin-w@juno.com) Cincinnati, OH USA

We were married and spent a wonderful Honeymoon on the island. It was Lorries first visit and my fourth she fell in love with the island as I did after my first visit. We plan on returning many years. Love the Beach, the atmosphere and the fine restaurants. Hope you never change but for the better. Mike and Lorrie Stansell (mes1@alltel.net) Heath, Ohio USA
I have been to Hilton Head Island every summer of my life. I have been to other beaches but nothing compares to the beautiful shores AND the beautiful island of Hilton Head. There are no neon signs, no high rise buildings or Hard Rock Cafes. When you're on Hilton Head, you know you're in paradise. When I go on vacation, I don't want to go to a big city with lots of big signs and amusment parks. That's what I'm trying to get away from! Hilton Head is one of the only beaches left 1 know of in this country to get AWAY from it all. I don't even want to get started on the natural beauty and the ocean and ... I might be typing all day. All I can say is my annual trip to Hilton Head is the highlight of my year. There is nothing I look forward to more. Kevin Koehler (kev@1coolplace.com) Charlotte, NC.
One of our best vacations was at Hilton Head Island. I wish I could live there for the rest of time. I love your Island so much and wish that I could see the shores one more time. Matthew Cosco (MPCoz@aol.com) Clarence, NY.

My wife and I come to Hilton Head at least twice a year, and always look forward to our next visit! Marshall Rice - Nolensville, TN.
We've been to HHI numerous timesand have stayed at the Crown Plaza Resort. Summers are much warmer and you can enjoy the sun and pool. March is great for walking and golf, but very quiet. I think you get more out of the area when the temperature is 75+. The Island is great and has much to offer. Loads of fun in the summer with activities for young and old going on, longer days, and outside concerts, etc. Karen Fine (vu173439@vorku. ca) Toronto, Ont, Canada
The first time I visited Hilton Head was back in 1974 with my parents. Since then I have been back many, many times, at first with my parents, now as a parent myself. We have always stayed at Palmetto Dunes and love it. It's like a second home to us. My children love the beach and what the island has to offer. And of course my husband and I love the golf. Maybe someday we will retire down here (we have some time yet!) Hope everyone enjoys HH as much as we do! Karen McCready Pittsford, NY.
We've been to Hilton Head 4 times since we moved to the US from England 6 years ago. We love it, it is a beautiful place, clean beaches, a good building code so nowhere looks spoiled, and it has lots of good restaurants. David & Judy Whiteside (dwhitesi@ix.netcom.com) Berkley Heights, NJ.
I have been visiting HHI for over 20 years now. First with friends and single. Then nine yrs ago on our homeymoon. Now we vacation every year here with our three kids. Do we love Hilton Head - we would say so!!!!! We just love Sea Pines. LOUISE STILES (LS403@aol.com)-Mahwah, NJ.
I just came back from visiting HH and like everyone else... I've got Hilton-itis. I'm now planning a big move there all by myself in a few weeks. I guess I've got it bad. Put it this way...Of all the places I could imagine being beautiful, Hilton Head surpassed all my expectations. The people are wonderful, too. Dottie Atkerson (dottie atkerson@xn.xerox.com) Lewisville, TX.
Although I have visited the Island many times, I find after browsing your Site that there is much about the Island that I did not know. If you are undecided about vacationing on the Island, let me assure you that it is a wonderful vacation just waiting for you. Ray Hochradel - Dearborn, MI.
We visit every summer and love the island. Steve Diego, Miami, FL.
We visit HHI twice a year. We enjoy the level of sophisticated plantings and landscaping associated with the island's development! Anthony Masciarelli, Stamford, CT.
We'll be back! Nicest Island Vacation we've ever had! Beautiful view, lovely beaches, exquisit dining, and a marvelous time! Thanks! Jackie Olson. Woodstock, IL.
My wife and I visited your island for the first time and needless to say we will be back. Loved everything from Palmetto Dunes Resort to Salty Dog Cafe. Keep up the good work. (eslinger@ics.net)
