Just Ask Julie

Julie, I want to buy on Hilton Head but I have no idea what is behind all those private gates.  I have visited here for years and I have access to all your great search sites, but I don’t know where to begin.  What should I do?

Thanks so much for your question! I get that question all the time!  Our clients call with so many questions about the area and all the different developments, private communities and amenities that are found beyond the limited view from the William Hilton Parkway on Hilton Head and Fording Island Road in Bluffton.  It can be a daunting task to figure it all out by yourself because of access, the overwhelming number of options and basically just not knowing where to start.

Hilton Head Helicopter Tours!

The Best Way to See the Lowcountry!

On a sunny Saturday, Ben and I traveled to the helicopter tour charter building located on the old airport in 38 Gateway Circle. We were introduced to a friendly staff who proceeded to show us the route we were going to take in our flight. Before we boarded the golf cart that took us to the helicopter, we were all weighed together, gear and all, to ensure we didn’t surpass the weight maximum. This was after we were given life belts in case we landed in the water.

The buggy drove to the chopper, a red Raven R-44 Helicopter and we took our seats. I sat up front next to the pilot while Ben took the back seat. Before we took off, we were instructed to put on headgear similar to those worn by commercial pilots complete with microphones. We lifted off and began our tour around the Island.
