Top 10 Summer Road Trips to Take from Hilton Head ☀️🚗

If you lived in the Hilton Head area, your summer weekends could look a lot different.

One weekend you’re watching the sunset on Lake Murray. The next, you’re exploring Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island, enjoying a luxury stay on Sea Island, or escaping to Amelia Island for the day.

One of the most underrated perks of living in the Lowcountry is how centrally located you are to some of the Southeast’s best beach towns, lakes, resorts, and outdoor adventures. You’re not just getting Hilton Head—you’re getting access to an entire region worth exploring.

These are 10 of my favorite summer road trips from Hilton Head, all close enough for a spontaneous day trip or easy weekend getaway.

One year ago, I took a leap of faith and started a new career in real estate.

To be honest, I had no idea exactly what the first year would look like. I just knew I was willing to work hard, learn everything I could, and show up for people the same way I always had throughout my career in hospitality.

This year brought so much more than numbers.

✨ My first closing
✨ My first listings
✨ New friendships and relationships
✨ Over 80 open houses hosted
✨ A growing database of incredible buyers and sellers
✨ The opportunity to serve 9 clients—helping one couple retire in the place of their dreams; helping one couple out of a tough situation and pivot from their forever home here on HHI to their forever home in Bradenton, FL; helping one couple make the decision to finally sell an investment property and cash in; and helping one couple upsize from a condo to a townhome in a community that better suited their needs.
✨ 1 pending sale, 3 active listings and 1 coming soon listing heading into year two
✨ Joining an amazing team at COAST brokered by eXp Realty
✨ Receiving the COAST Culture Award
✨ Building a brand and a business from the ground up
✨ Making more time for volunteer work and giving back to the community

But what I’ll remember most aren’t the transactions.

It’s the text messages. The phone calls. The trust. The people who invited me into one of the biggest decisions of their lives and allowed me to walk alongside them through it.

Coming from a hospitality background, I’ve always believed that relationships matter more than anything. Real estate has only reinforced that belief.

To every client, friend, family member, referral partner, mentor, fellow agent, and supporter who encouraged me this year—thank you. You made this first chapter possible.

Year one was about learning.

Year two is about building.

And I’m just getting started. 🤍

🏡 CLOSED | 71 Summerfield Ct #724 🏡

Congratulations to my buyers on the successful closing of their new home in Summerfield Villas!

After beginning their retirement journey at The Oaks, they knew it was time for more space and a community that better fit their lifestyle. We found the perfect match—a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo with a garage, bonus living area, and outdoor space to enjoy all that Lowcountry living has to offer.

Wishing them many happy years ahead in their new home! 🤍

Tell me you want a farm without telling me you want a farm… 🐴🌾

Tucked away on acreage in one of Bluffton’s most private and peaceful settings, this barndominium offers the kind of lifestyle that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find.

✔️ Room to roam
✔️ Plenty of space for horses, equipment, hobbies, or future expansion
✔️ A unique barndominium design full of character
✔️ Privacy and tranquility without feeling disconnected

The best part? While it feels miles away from everything, you’re still conveniently located between both New Riverside and Old Town Bluffton, giving you easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and everything that makes Bluffton such a special place to call home.

Properties with this much land in Bluffton are incredibly rare—especially in a location that offers both seclusion and convenience.

Comment “HORSE” and I’ll send you the exact location and details. 🐎
