HARDEEVILLE , SC Spring comes early to South Carolina , where our team recently experienced a “ Change in Latitude ” getaway at Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head . This 55-and-better active adult community near Hilton Head , SC is anything but a place to retire , boasting a lively pool and bar area , town center with amenities and loads of community activities ( pickleball , block parties and live concerts are just a few of the owners ’ favorite activities ). And its proximity to Hilton Head and Savannah , GA means owners have easy access to the cultural , artistic and historical riches of the Low Country . This is a true neighborhood that thrives with real friendships and a happening social scene amidst swaying palms and sunshine . As one resident put it : “ This is the closest I can get to living in the Caribbean .” We agree and wished we could have stayed and played a little longer – especially when we returned home to a Spring Nor ’ Easter in New England .
