For many people, Hilton Head Island starts as a vacation.
That was true for me. I first came to Hilton Head as a visitor, vacationing in Sea Pines. Over time, it became more than a favorite getaway. I made the move from Ohio, built a life here, and found a real sense of community.
Now, years later, I still understand why so many people come back again and again.
