Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of the view categories at this resort and the additional beautiful photos plus the link about the live oak trees.
This looks like a really beautiful resort to visit in the off season using points one year. I remember reading
BocaBoy's thread about his long stay at Hilton Head in January and this resort was his favorite. Even a courtyard view is lovely so we could stay longer.
I am still trying to convince my husband that there are other nice places to visit besides Maui and beach walks in the winter are very nice as I did this many times when I lived in Holland in walking distance of the beach. The strong northern winds there would make it a lot colder than in Hilton Head.
You're welcome.....
BocaBoy likes those fantastic off-season weeks in Jan-Feb for good reason, and so do many others. Maybe the secret is out. Besides BocaBoy, we have two additional sets of friends, one couple from Iowa (he's a tennis pro) and one couple from Wayne, NJ, who come down for at least 8-10+ weeks each year without fail, owners at Grande Ocean. They are all tennis players and play every day at Grande Ocean's courts, which are excellent. GO offers a FREE tennis clinic given by 2 tennis pros, and since my wife is also a tennis player, she has gotten to know them all well over the past 3-4 years.
Temps can get quite nice during these times, into the 60s+ and it's perfect for tennis. BTW, we just returned last week from visiting these friends in NYC where we all attended the US Open tennis tournament (Iowa couple too) and dined several times in Manhattan---what a thrill-----and we all stayed in the home of the couple from NJ, about 25 miles away.
We share the love of tennis (I'm really a golfer) and also the love of Hilton Head and specifically Grande Ocean. My wife and I have a routine for 1 week in Jan, 1 week in Feb, 1 week in March------she takes a girlfriend to GO for 4 nights (also a tennis lover) then I arrive and stay the last 3 nights. Only a 2.5 hr commute for us so I work the first part of the week. Anyway, Jan-Feb-Mar is a fantastic time to be at HH......we enjoy it EQUALLY to the other months (we also stay 4 weeks in June and a week in April). The DC point requirements are pretty low during Jan, Feb, so it's a great deal. How my friends are able to take 2-3 GO (or other) weeks and stretch them into 8-10+ off-season weeks is both creative and amazing.
