ナンバー12 - プール付きの実家、ラグーンビュー/ドック、ビーチまで徒歩7分

My husband Dale and I have 5 children and have been married for 40 years. Dale's father had the opportunity to purchase land in HHI before it had become developed. He passed on the opportunity since "it was nothing but marshland". We couldn't help but smile at his Dad's remark when we purchased this home. Dale's mother, Louise, took pride in her South Carolina camellias, and we are delighted to have many varieties that she enjoyed.
We currently live in Indiana, but are delighted to be part of SC again. I am from Tacoma, WA and enoy the beauty of HHI as much as the Pacific Northwest. We hope to retire here in this home in the next couple of years.

We wanted a retirement home that would be a gathering place for our adult children to enjoy with us when they visit. Dale is from South Carolina and still has family nearby. It seemed so right to plan for our retirement home here in the state where Dale grew up, and in a wooded space that I was accustomed to in the Pacific Northwest -minus the palm trees of course.

We first saw the home and knew it was the place for us. It had sat vacant for almost 10 years and was in need of a lot of care. Dale and I have a vision for potential, and we were drawn to the quiet, peaceful, wooded setting on the lagoon. We started to implement our vision and after a 1 year full-time total remodel, we have the house of our dreams. We furnished it with Amish furniture created near our home in Indiana. We look forward to becoming 'snow birds' in the near future, enjoying the mild winters and the activities that Palmetto Dunes and Hilton Head Island affords. Down the road we would love to live here full time...so please take good care of our home:)

Our open concept home has a private bath for each of the 4 bedrooms, and additional sleeping space with the wall bed in the Great Room. One of our favorite spaces is the massive island with seating for 6 where you can chat, watch TV from the Great Room, or just be centrally involved in the common space. We were careful to design a dining room that could accommodate all of our family around one table, because we love eating all together. The dining room wave light is so very special, since Dale and I purchased it as our aniversary gift to each other. And we just love all the views of the lagoon from so many of the rooms! We added the Carolina space footprint to our new remodel, and it is the perfect relaxing spot that ties in the other open concept spaces.
We wanted to design a pool that would do the trick as a 'Granny Trap' for our children and grandchildren. So we decided to add the BaduJet for swimming resistance and Boogy board play, and the shallow tanning shelf with bubblers for our littlest grandchildren. The spillover from the hot tub to the tanning shelf, and the edge of the tanning shelf to the pool provides relaxing enjoyment of the sound and beauty of water. We planned the layout of the porcelain Savannah tile around the pool to enhance the outdoor common space for everyone to enjoy, and designed the deck space to enjoy late night talks around the fire pit.
Plus we are just steps from the Atlantic Ocean! A short 7 minute walk with our beach wagon, cooler, umbrella, chairs, and toys takes you into another world of sand, surf, and fun. Or just take a walk, or see the sunset along the miles of pristine beach in both directions.
I haven't even mentioned the golfing opportunities, the miles of groomed biking trails, close access to restaurants and shopping, outdoor water activities, tennis & pickleball, concerts, historic sites, boat tours, or nearby historic cities. Our Welcome Letter details these exciting activities. Do as little or as much as you desire.
