2 1/2 Blocks zum Strand - privates Tor

As former New Jersey Public School teachers with long summer breaks, my wife and I would vacation with our three children (boy, boy, girl - 2 yrs apart each) for multiple weeks every summer, primarily by car. We explored every state up and down the East Coast, and fell in love with Hilton Head Island the moment we arrived on a whim in the early 90's. The Island was and still is absolutely beautiful. There are no in-your-face beach apparel stores on every corner with strict development codes to maintain the islands natural beauty with a focus on the environment and wildlife preservation throughout. The beaches are enormous and perfectly manicured (top 10 beach destination in the United States). The is and always has been a friendly laid-back vibe across the island. Hilton Head is family focused through and through. World class golf (30 course on the island and 39 within 20 miles). Endless bike paths (60+ miles). The list goes on and on... Hilton Head Island is such an amazing place which appeals to the masses, and has most certainly appealed to our family.

After our first stay, we knew Hilton Head Island was THE place we wanted to return to every summer. After touring every square inch of the island... every condo complex, every neighborhood (private, public, on island, off island), every townhouse, homes, lots, you name it, we were dragged an agent to investigate... we found Brigantine Quarters. It was, and always has been, too good to be true.

Year after year, we would spend 6-10 consecutive weeks each summer in our unit comfortably. 1,000's of hours on the beach, 1,000's of miles on our bikes, countless rounds of golf and games of tennis, 100's of home cooked meals in the unit and dinners on the balcony overlooking our lagoon and our wildlife friends, so many laughs, and life-long memories.

Our kids are now grown, our trips to HHI have become infrequent, and we are thrilled to share our unit, which is is truly a "hidden gem" on the island, with you.

Location, location, serene wildlife views, location, 2 pools, location, one-of-a-kind secure gate access blocks from the beach, location, short bike ride to Coligny Plaza, private tennis / pickle ball courts, location... did I mention location : ) ...?
