Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
Hilton Head is known for it's golf, but everyone has their favorite thing about the island. I love the marshes, and enjoy kayaking there. I have a friend who visits just to take lessons at the Van der Meer tennis center. Others tell me there's great fishing. The beaches are wide and fabulous; I love to take a beach chair to just watch the happy beach dogs meet, greet and bite the surf! As for North Forest Beach it's a shabby yet happening little beach neighborhood. Coligny Plaza is just a mile away - a walk on the beach or short ride on the bike paths gets you to the interesting shops and great restaurants there.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House
WindSwept was tastefully designed for a happy beach vacation. It's just a few seconds from our neighborhood oceanfront swimming pool, and enjoys private beach access through our boardwalk. The house is oriented toward outside living - with an outside shower and changing room under the house, and lots of decks for spending time breathing the salt air and even peeking at the ocean! It's stocked with everything beachy - including beach towels, beach toys and beach chairs. We get rave reviews from our guests; please browse our guestbook to see some of their comments.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
My best friend Janet and I fell in love with Hilton Head in the early 80s when we vacationed there as young professionals. Eventually we bought WindSwept there together - a dream come true! A few years ago, I bought Janet out and oversaw a major renovation to make it a perfect vacation house. I still have to pinch myself to believe it's mine!
