What is the resorts name you are getting? The "Sea Pine Plantation" includes some different resorts in one named group.


If you check the TUG Reviews (old section), they may have a list of the named resorts.

I am not sure if some of the Marriott Saturday Villas -Sea Pines (most no longer managed by Marriott) were in that group.

The unit is 886-I,m not sure if this Ketche court based on some old reviews.
I can't get a hold of the the holding company manging the resort.

I think I remember that Ketch Court did not have a pool....but is very close to the light house area.


They could (in the past) use the pool across the street in another resort. Always seemed to have positive on the rooms and location. In the summer, there is a free trolly that will take you through Sea Pines

We are renting through RCi!
Not sure if this is a good idea or should rent through either TUG or vrbo.
I'm a little unsure because we still can't get all info on the unit. It is 2 bedroom but not sure of views?, ect
Any thoughts?

Try www.islandgetaway.com

We just rented a villa in Ocean Cove for April 22-29 from www.islandgetaway.com at what we considered a decent price. Of course prices vary according to season and we are splitting the cost between 3 couples, but we got exactly what we wanted. They had lots of very nice units available and you can look at each unit online and book online. Worked well for us.

sea pines plantation

thank-you for the info!
Rental for Rci for Sea Pines Plantation-669.00 but also beware they add tax which comes up to 736.00.
This is a 2 bedroom 2 bath at Ketch court-which according to rental company is very good location but no frills and no view in this unit 886
We have decided to rent at this time unless we get a exchange for the
summer through rci which is very difficult sometimes
I will also keep looking for last minute deals
We are going 10-17 of June. :)

How Did RCI Offer?

Just curious regarding your statement that RCI offered a rental - what triggered the offer? Did you see the unit in Extra Vacations, were you talking with RCI, or were you contacted by them initially?
Thanks...... Bill

This unit was under Extra Vacations. I think it was a rental based on price and then added tax.
I'm not quite sure why rental and "Extra" vacations are lumped all together.

Are you talking to me Bill ?? (LOL)
I was offered a rental when I called RCI for an exchange into Hilton Head
That is humerous now that you brought it up.
No exhange was available so they tried to rent me a week. (LOL)
