South Carolina has the best of both worlds, history and charm on the one hand, and luxury vacation settings on the other.
Explore gracious mansions, and plantations, and you can hit the beach, boat and bike while staying in beautiful waterfront resorts homes on Isle of Palms, Hilton Head Island, or Beaufort South Carolina.
The City of Charleston is absolutely charming, and loaded with great attractions, sightseeing, and South Carolina’s best dining and shopping.
Hilton Head Island is a beachy retirement community dream, and a great place for a sun, sand and golf or boating vacation. You can bike, beach, boat, play golf and tennis to your heart’s content on this beautiful island. The Carolina lifestyle is relaxed but active, with sincere southern hospitality and lovely scenery.
Beaufort South Carolina is a small but sophisticated town on the coast and the Intercoastal Waterway, with beautifully preserved antebellum mansions, a wonderful waterfront park and plenty to do from walking tours and carriage rides to boat excursion to see dolphin. No wonder Beaufort has been the setting for many famous films like Big Chill, Prince of Tides and Forrest Gump.
