During school holidays, families create a lively atmosphere, and golfers and couples arrive year-round. The resort's beach frontage includes a tranquil wooden deck partially sheltered by sand dunes and partially shaded by a wooden arbor that contains rocking chairs and a swing. Graced by orchids, a two-story marble-floor lobby includes widely separated seating areas for quiet conversation.

Birds, deer, indigenous palmetto palms, large oak trees draped with Spanish moss, bicyclists pedaling through 15 miles of quiet trails, a deeply shaded forest preserve, marshes swept by sea breezes, and green golf courses attract families and couples seeking secluded holidays to Hilton Head Island between the Atlantic Ocean and Calibogue Sound.

Families come to this expansive, homey resort on Hilton Head Island with an abundance of recreational options during the busy summer and winter-holiday seasons. Autumn is popular for golfers. And during the winter months, romance-minded couples take advantage of the resort's secluded, tranquil, and comfortably low-key ambience.
