I love living on this little island. It's a super popular summer travel destination and I totally get why. We have a relatively close knit community, and so many great shops and restaurants!
We moved from the Boston area five years ago. For those who say housing is too expensive and the traffic is so bad, they obviously haven’t lived in a big city lately. We have a beautiful though modest house on a very peaceful street on a golf course just blocks from the ocean. Transplanted to the Boston suburbs it would likely be out of our price range. And The traffic doesn’t compare. Sure it’s busy here two months a year but the other months are a breeze. I live on HHI but work in Beaufort so I am out in the traffic most weekdays. We feel so blessed to live here. And We find people here so much nicer and welcoming. Can’t imagine being back in the northeast rat race.
HHI has lots to offer when it comes to the beaches and fun summer activities. Good shopping is not far away either, and for those looking for a fun weekend getaway, there are two great cities nearby in Savannah and Charleston. One of the only downfalls of the HHI is the winter season, when fun activities become limited, especially if you have lived on the island for some time.
