• Area Description: Visitors come from around the world to enjoy the great variety of things to do on Hilton Head Island and throughout the Lowcountry. With warm breezes provided year-round by the Gulf Stream, the Lowcountry provides the perfect climate for every season.

  Warm summers are perfect for hitting the beach or taking to the water for an array of water sports. Winters are mild, spring offers a dazzling display of blooming flora and fall seems an extension of summer with warm, sunny days well into November.

  Nearby Hilton Head Island offers beautiful sandy beaches, championship golf, and a thriving art scene. You'll want to spend at least one afternoon antiquing in lovely downtown Beaufort on the waterfront and take in all its historic character and natural Southern charm.

  Savannah has much to offer on its own. First-time visitors will love the trolley tour and the oak-lined streets with many shops and squares.

• Amenities Description: Residents gather at the Lakeside Amenity Village, built of reclaimed barnwood paneling and warmed by two grand stone fireplaces. Its spacious Lakeview Room is home to events of all kinds, and its decks and porches overlook the lake. The facility houses popular community attractions such as the Spa and Fitness Central, the Tower Bar, waterfront Backwater Bill’s restaurant and the Adventure Lagoon pool complex.

  Nearby is Dog Paddle Park, the first pet park at any private community in South Carolina. The community’s amenities were also named “America’s Best Community Facility” by the NAHB.

  You can launch boats from Doc’s Boathouse and visit The Outpost campsite across the lake on the shorefront. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish species, including the quarry of choice in Hampton Lake’s popular Tiger Bass fishing derby.

  Of special appeal are the resort-quality services at The Spa, located in the Lakeside Amenity Village at the heart of Hampton Lake. It’s the place to go for a relaxing Swedish massage, a healing reiki session, aromatherapy or salon beauty treatments.

  With three new Har-Tru tennis courts at Lakeside there’s plenty of room to get your family and friends together for a match, or just have a little fun.

  Walking isn't just good for the body, it's good for the soul. At Hampton Lake there are some 340 acres of permanently protected, hardwood forest as a peaceful habitat for wildlife. Plus there are nine miles of Greenway trails and boardwalks that meander through the forest.

  And if you love golf, it is just a golf cart away at Hampton Hall next door where an 18-hole, championship golf course designed by Pete Dye awaits you. The course plays from 5,329 yards to 7,489 yards with five sets of tees and features wide fairways and landing areas with unobstructed green approaches, giving you the option of a safe route to the green on every hole.
