Our Christmas week get-together of three siblings, spouses and adult offspring gathered from five corners of the country for a perfect reunion. The house is beautiful, comfortable, had plenty of room for all 10 of us without getting into each other's hair. It provided everything needed for a care-free vacation. The kitchen is quite well-equipped. It was a short bike ride (plenty of bikes are in the basement) to the beach or a walk of less than 15 minutes so we could zip over and watch the sun rise, morning after morning. There are kayaks available and enough loops in the waterways to do multiple paddling excursions through the neighborhood without backtracking or repeating, to keep things interesting. Unfortunately, the heater for the pool decided to die when we arrived, but the owner, Dr. Steve, went above and beyond to get it repaired (that didn't work) and then replaced, so we did get a glorious December dip in the heated pool and spa, both at night gazing on the star-filled sky, and again during the day, watching the pelicans, herons, and all sorts of other birds. Great architecture in the neighborhood, lovely environs with Spanish moss dangling from the trees, and plenty to do on Hilton Head and in general area, plus Savannah is an easy hour-long ride away.
