Hilton Head and Kiawah Island, SC.
We decided to switch it up a bit this year as we abandoned our four year run at Jekyll Island for extended stays at Hilton Head Island and Kiawah Island, S.C.
As it turned out, this was the coldest and snowiest winter we’ve had in the past four years making travel very tricky. Watching the weather closely, we literally had no margin for error on both the way there and back. Snow, ice, extreme polar vortexes, and even floods frequented the route between Michigan and South Carolina. As a result, our warm weather days were also lessened as the cold and snow penetrated all the way down to southern Georgia for a couple of days. Hilton Head even experienced “once in a generation” snow accumulations for a few days.
The Marriott Surf Watch Vacation Club was our home for a month. Our ~2000 sq. ft. condo was very spacious and easy to settle into, as many conveniences (even our own washer and dryer) were included in the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo. There were 4 pools (one indoors), a nice workout facility, an ocean front beach, and activities (e.g. daily water aerobics, food, music, and other social events) almost every day. It was a very vice home away from home.
