Compass Cove or Camelot at the Sea?
There are 2 families coming to MB in July and we are trying to find oceanfront condos with outdoor activities and within walking distance to shops, ice cream, coffee, soveniers. Which place would be better for us. We have 2 children each ages 15 to 7. Thanks for any input, there are so many places to choose from it makes it even harder.
Compass Cove or Camelot at the Sea?
I%26#39;ve stayed at Compass Cove and I have stayed next door to Camelot at the Breakers Resort (Paradise Towers and Resort Building). I would probably go with Camelot in your situation.
I absolutely love the location of Camelot. You have about 5 restaurants/cafes in walking distance of less than 5 minutes. Bummz on the Beach is at the hotel, Papas restaurant across the street is a small restaurant that has excellent service and decent food. I liked the she crab soup. There is a Breyers Ice Cream shop across the street then a Pizza shop right next to that. You are about a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk to Broadway at the Beach with a ton of places to eat, shop and have some night fun. www.broadwayatthebeach.com. The location isn%26#39;t crowded and we liked walking on the street at night with the ocean breeze. It was lovely in that area. They have parking attached to the building and depending on the floor you stay on you might be able to park on the same level as your room, otherwise there is ample parking directly across the street.
Nothing wrong with Compass Cove at all. They have done some nice rennovations recently on all of the buildings and their pool activities are some of the best on that side of MB. I just found that I had to drive everywhere and there wasn%26#39;t much in walking distance (that we liked).
Hope this helps.
Reasonably Priced?
My wife and I are looking at going to HHI in May for our 1st Anniversary. I just have a few questions. Are accomodations and restaurants reasonably priced? It is obviously more upscale than Myrtle and Charleston. We plan to go Fri-Mon. We did find some ideas on some sites, but wondering if any of you have suggestions. We prefer to take several trips throughout the year, so spending all our money on HHI wouldnt make sense. Maybe some hotel, restaurant, and sight-seeing ideas? Preferably we want to keep it below $600 for a 3 night/4 day trip. No, we%26#39;re not cheap, just enjoy taking several local trips throughout the year. I appreciate the feedback.
Reasonably Priced?Dear TVKNC:
You will LOVE Hilton Head, especially for an anniversary. The first anniversary at that! Congrats. Anyway, if you go through hotwire the Westin or Crowne Plaza is showing up May 2-5 for $114
May 9-12 $114
May 16-19 $194 for the Hilton Oceanfront (my favourite but would never pay this price)
May 30-June 2 - $194 for Hilton.
$114 for the Westin is a great deal. The Crowne Plaza has had really mixed reviews. There is also a $10 resort fee that is added on top. There are so many restaurants on Hilton Head with a wide range of prices. I would not say it%26#39;s overpriced at all. Rent bikes and bike along the miles of paths and on the beach. Take a dolphin excursion, spend a day in Savannah or go to Beaufort (where Forest Gump and many other movies were filmed). 4 days will fly by!

Just another thought. Just above this post there should be a link to www.spinnakerrentals.com
They are advertising a $99 night special which includes FREE golf/tennis, 2 FREE bikes and a $50 dining certificate if you stay three nights.
I think this is the way to go. You will be getting a villa. Check out the spinnaker resorts. The Waterside by Spinnaker is very close to Coligny Plaza which has loads of shops/restaurants and is across the road from the beach. If you can get the Waterside, I think you will like it. It has the largest aquatic centre. Plus, you won%26#39;t have to drive everywhere. All the villas you will get with this special have full kitchens. We are booked at Egret Point through this special (but cheaper) in March for an entire week. We have a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom villa. I don%26#39;t think you can go wrong with this deal. The Carolina Club and Cottages at Shipyard are also included in this deal. Do your homework and check it out.

Sandy Beach Resort or Sea Crest
My family will be staying the week of June 22-27 and I am trying to decide between the sandy beach resort and the sea crest. Does anyone know anything about these resorts? There will be 7 of us including a 3 year old and a 16 year old. The website for Sandy beach doesn%26#39;t give a lot of information but they have very reasonable prices. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Sandy Beach Resort or Sea Crest
We stayed at SeaCrest several times but it%26#39;s been about 6 or 7 years since then %26amp; things can change drastically! At that time, we found it to be a great value for the money. If you read the reviews, they are mixed. I%26#39;m kind of on the picky side %26amp; I found it to be much better than the reviews suggested.
I don%26#39;t know anything about Sandy Beach.
Sandy Beach Resort or Sea Crest
First, be prepared for hart1 and some others on the board to tell you that ANY hotel south of the old Pavilion is a bad idea, and that the area is dangerous.
The area is not dangerous, but it is very crowded. And during the summer, that area is very loud (cars driving by all night with loud music and loud engines). Both hotels are also within walking distance of the Family Kingdom Amusement Park, which adds to the large crowds.
The Sandy Beach is a new resort, and I don%26#39;t know much about it. We haven%26#39;t stayed at the Sea Crest in about 8 years, but have heard that it was recently renovated.
If you are open to suggestions, then consider looking at hotels further north (as hart1 will suggest), or further south of the area where these two hotels are located. You will still be ';in the action,'; but it would be a quieter.
Charleston- Eating
We are hoping to find a fun place for approximately 15-20 people to have a brunch or lunch this Friday.
Many of the people will be young girls and would love to have a good variety with some southern style as well. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Charleston- Eating
I would suggest Jestine%26#39;s Kitchen on Meeting St. We went there last week on our trip for lunch and it was Excellent Southern style cooking. It%26#39;s a little small, but could easily hold 15-20 people seated at tables of 4 each. The best Southern cooking I%26#39;ve ever had.
Charleston- Eating
SouthEnd Brewery on East Bay can accommodate pretty large groups and their menu covers the spectrum (and their food is pretty reasonably-priced). Jestine%26#39;s, though very good, doesn%26#39;t take reservations and it is pretty small - you might have a tough time getting everyone in at once.
I would recommend Poogan%26#39;s Porch (www.poogansporch.com) on Queen Street. Poogan%26#39;s has several rooms and they are often used for group events. As this Friday kicks off our Food %26amp; Wine Festival, I would highly recommend making reservations wherever you decide.
consider 82 Queen downtown - they have a nice garden and 11 dining rooms so your group might be a little more private. Hands down the best she crab soup bar none. Consider off-peninsula - but be forewarned - the Food %26amp; Wine Festival is this weekend. Make reservations - you have enough in your party that would warrant doing so. Enjoy your visit!
