Ashton
Cove
In an inviting,
family-oriented neighborhood off Point Comfort Rd., Ashton Cove is one
of Hilton Head's newer neighborhoods catering to families seeking to recapture
the neighborhood concept of days gone by. Its winding streets are reminiscent
of the residential areas of some of the country's older, more settled
communities, while its home designs mirror much of Charleston's much admired
"Charleston Side House" concept.

Daufuskie Island
Daufuskie
Island, located a mere short boat ride across Calibogue Sound from Hilton
Head Island, has a historical heritage almost unrivaled in the area. Rich
in Gullah lore, the island has seen pirates come and go, a thriving oystering
industry which provided both incomes and tales for the isolated island's
residents, and author Pat Conroy, whose book The Water Is Wide was based
on his teaching experiences on Daufuskie.
Even though
no bridge connects it to either the mainland or to Hilton Head, and it's
accessible only by ferry or private boat, Daufuskie is isolated no more.
Its face is changing and becoming developed via the upscale communities
of Bloody Point, Haig Point and Melrose. Efforts to maintain the island's
unique character and simple lifestyle, however, are ongoing as both old
and new residents work together.

two phase, 36 home development on Wild Horse Rd. at the island's north
end, just off Highway 278. Designed to accommodate moderate income families,

by the F.H.A., which permitted families to assume home ownership with
low down payments. The three bedroom, two bath models range in size from
1,032 square feet of heated space to 1,162 square feet and are designed
to enable homeowners to qualify for Palmetto Electric's "H2O"
program rebate, as well as to exceed their "Good Cents"- ratings.
Again because of its proximity to island school and recreational facilities,
young families find this to be a desirable location.
