Decorating for the Holidays

I love this time of year. It is my very favorite time because we’re moved into our new home in time for the holidays. We looked at many Garden City Beach homes for sale before we found this one — the one we absolutely fell in love with at first glance. It’s a beautiful home, bigger than I initially wanted, but I’m so glad we bought it.

I enjoy decorating for the holidays and this home has been a joy to decorate. It’s a bonus there’s so much of it. I love driving around and looking at all the Garden City Beach homes for sale that are decorated for Christmas. People take extra care with their decorations when their properties are on the market. Or at least it appears so to me.

This year we have family coming to visit. They haven’t been to our new home yet and are looking forward to it. Because we have three bedrooms and three baths, as well as a bonus room (aka party room) over the garage, we’ll have plenty of space to put everyone. They show up with three little kids who just so happen to love the beach almost as much as they love Christmas! I’m planning on driving them around to look at some Garden City Beach homes for sale while they’re here. They’ve been talking about relocating away from the cold northern climate for quite awhile now and I would love them to be living near by. Hope for the best this holiday season.

Haunted BBQ and Costume Contest

I’ve looked around at Palmetto Dunes Hilton Head in the past but I’ve found that the properties they have there now are even more impressive as well as very tempting. On over 2,000 acres Palmetto Dunes has three miles of beach, an 11-mile lagoon system, three world-class golf courses, an award-winning tennis center and a whole lot more. For me, those are the most important points. I was there this past weekend to look at property and Palmetto Dunes Hilton Head really is an unforgettable experience.

If it’s land on coastal South Carolina you’re interested in there are plenty of Palmetto Dunes Hilton Head lots for sale as well. Building a home here you would be among luxury oceanfront homes, villas and condominiums. Conveniently located mid-island, Palmetto Dunes is a private oceanfront community that seems to be just perfect in every regard.

Just wanted to also mention the Haunted BBQ and Costume Contest on October 29, 2011, from 4-9 p.m. This will be held at the Salty Dog, South Beach Marina in Sea Pines. The Kid’s Costume Contest is at 7 p.m. There will be prizes, candy, kid’s fun and games and Jake the Salty Dog. Burgers and hot dogs are available from 4-9 p.m. There’s also going to be a haunted village definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Surfside Beach Homes For Sale

As of October 2011, there are 204 Surfside Beach homes for sale. The average price for a residential home in Surfside is $259,000. The amount of houses for sale at this moment might seem low with many sellers taking their listings off the market after the summer months. Many people believe that they can get higher values for their homes in the spring and summer than in the fall and winter. With that said, many of the Surfside Beach homes for sale at this time of the year may be discounted by desperate sellers who would love to sell their houses before the winter. Winter is the slowest and worst time to have a house on the market and many sellers avoid it at all costs.

Forest Beach homes for sale

What I found is just too nice not to share with you. In the heart of Hilton Head Island there is a community on the south-end called Forest Beach. It is bordered on one side by the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and converges at Coligny Square — the oldest and most popular gathering spot on Hilton Head Island.

Forest Beach homes for sale are a fusion of newly constructed oceanfront mansions, small bungalows built in the 1950s, condos, and mid-sized beach homes. Residents and visitors embrace the fact that their community is only one of a very few ungated and close-knit neighborhoods on Hilton Head Island. There are three miles of unspoiled beaches and pristine dunes in this section of the island between Sea Pines and Shipyard Plantation. All Forest Beach homes for sale are within a short distance to the beach.

This is truly a beautiful place to live and has plenty of activities to keep you busy. There are over 200 boutiques and shops, and more than 250 restaurants, a grocer plus much more.
