Just received our confirmation for Egret Point 2 bedroom condo for February 2007. This is part of Spinnaker Resorts Shipyard Plantation. Anyone familiar with this resort? As you can see, we start planning our vacations early - actually planning is as much fun as going!!
Egret Point Timeshare
we went there in September this year and loved it. the rooms are huge (we had a 3-bedroom, basically a 2-story townhouse) and the place is nice and quiet.
No timeshare push (just don%26#39;t answer the phone!) to any degree, and the grounds are quite nice.
Egret Point Timeshare
Thanks for your reply. It is getting closer to our travel date and the planning is getting more serious. As we are meeting friends there, it is nice to know to accomodations are good. Do you know if the heated pool is open year round. Being Canadian, would go swimming in cold weather provided the water is warm. In fact we usually go to Carriage Hills each January because of their outdoor pool and hot tub.
Hi,
We just returned tonight from a week at Spinnaker%26#39;s Waterfront, which is a few blocks from Egret. You%26#39;re very near a public beach and Coligny Plaza, where there are a half-dozen restaurants, a Piggly Wiggly grocery, a liquor store, a hardware store, a coffee shop...every essential you%26#39;ll likely need. Coligny is deceptively large...so walk through it. You may want to take surf shoes because there%26#39;s quite a few broken shells on the beach. As other have mentioned, this is firmly packed sand. You can easily peddle a bike on it. Fun to pick up shells at low tide. Mostly small. Hubby did find two large starfish this week, though.
Highly recommend finding a book of restaurant menus. We only found a guide on our last day there. One of the wonderful, yet challenging aspects of Hilton Head is zoning and signage. For residents, it%26#39;s wonderful. Everything is hidden away. But for visitors, it%26#39;s a nightmare trying to find restaurants, etc, through the foilage. A couple of recommendations close to Egret -- buy shrimp at Piggly Wiggly (fresh seafood arrives daily at 2 p.m.). For a cheap, tasty restaurant frequented by locals, check out Sea Shack on Executive Pope a couple of blocks from Egret. Expect nothing by plastic forks, etc. But fish/shrimp/oysters very fresh and affordable, plus some nice southern touches like okra and tomatos and conch fritters. In Coligny Plaza, Bamboo II offers excellent happy hour with 2 for 1 beers and margaritas. It%26#39;s on the second floor. Full menu, from soft-shelled crab to bacon-wrapped hot dog and salads. Henchy%26#39;s -- across the street from Coligny , next to public beach access -- is a very nice sports bar with great sandwiches. It bills itself as Chicago-style. Nice beer selection. Sage is pricey but a nice splurge. Also, the Holiday Inn has a tiki beach bar open to everyone.
FYI: We also did an overnight to Savannah in the middle of our timeshare week. Landed the Hyatt for $70. Highly recommend spending the night in Savannah to soak up a bit more flavor there. Could likely spend a week in Savannah and take a day trip to Hilton Head ; )
Have a great time!
Amagar, thanks so much for the great information. I have saved it to my favourites and will definitely print it and take it with me. So glad you enjoyed your holiday. We plan on a day trip to Savannah but as we are meeting friends from NC at Hilton Head, an over night trip to Savannah will have to be another holiday.

I would be interested in reading your review of Egret as soon as your return. We are booked at the Lyons, in Port Royal but this is a private rental. We were not timeshare owners when we booked this. However, we are hoping to use our points for friends to join us while we are in HH and Egrets is in the RCI directory. Would be very interested in your opinion. Someone on this site mentioned that Egret is the newest in the Spinnaker line-up of resorts. This will be our second trip to HHI. Our first trip we stayed at the Hilton Oceanfront Resort in Palmetto Dunes and LOVED it. We booked through Hotwire.com and got a fantastic deal.
Hope you have fun.
I will definitely post a review for you when we return. I just hope that we are able to take this trip as we have a new grandson about to arrive. He was due Feb. 26 but the doctor is now saying Feb. 10.

sylw,
We are planning to drive to HH for mid-March (although still haven%26#39;t booked accom. yet...), and I saw your query about whether it was too cold to go in the ocean for a dip in Feb. Did you get any information on that? We were in Myrtle beach a couple years ago end-Mar and the ocean was fine (being about mid 60s..... people in the south might not think that%26#39;s so fine...!) so I was presuming with the warm winter so far that we should be ok.
Thanks!
Our Temperture yesterday was in the mid 70%26#39;s. When I went down to the beach, it was crowded and there were a few kids in the surf.
Water tempurture is about 59 degrees right now, so prolonged immersion could cause hyperthermia however.
