Hilton Head Real Estate

After Rick's second massage, we know there is no golf in our near future, so we spend the day looking at property. Our main criteria is a fabulous view, so all the areas we visit have marshland or river lots. We stop first at Berkeley Hall where we have the good fortune of having the agent not only be a partner in the development, but most of all a former Walker Cup player. Duke is a pleasure to spend time with and we loved listening to his Q-School stories. He shows us this property and Belfair down the road. If we decide Hilton Head is the place, it will be easy to find a terrific piece of real estate.

For a lunch break we go to a place our "on island" friends have recommended... unbelievably it is in another RV park, which of course we check out. Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort & Marina is not nearly as nice as Hilton Head Island Motor Coach Resort where we are staying, but it has one terrific restaurant...the Sunset Grille.

The lunch menu features more dinner type entrees than we would normally want at lunch...but go for it!! Hugh (we gather the owner) smokes fish, meats and fowl on a deckside smoker oven. I must say the smoked salmon (not nova like...but chunks like you would usually grill) set on a bed of creamy southern grits topped with wilted spinach is spectacular. Rick chooses a fried oyster po' boy, loves it, but agrees I win this selection contest. Great food accompanied by a very good pouilly fuisse and a terrific view....highly recommended.

We visit one more location on Callawassie Island. It's different, but just as lovely. Far more natural settings and less manicured property....but the views!

We were planning on going out to dinner, but are exhausted, so we stop at Crazy Crab. Have a drink in the bar and order dinner to take back to Tor. One order of she-crab soup and a steamed seafood pot (lobster, crab, shrimp, oysters, baked potato and corn on the cob) is more than we can handle. The food isn't like the Sunset Grille...but a good way to end the day.
