waterside by spinnaker resort

Has anyone stayed here or know where this is located on the island? And if so what is it like? Thanks

waterside by spinnaker resort

Waterside is located behind Coligny Plaza Shopping center and the Heritage Plaza Shopping centers.

It is secluded and a walk from the beach.

A friend of mine is staying here and she seems to think it is located on Dillion ave(which I know is out by the airport. Do you have a street name on this resort? thanks so much

De Allyon Avenue is by Forest Beach. The Player%26#39;s Club Condo is there. I believe Waterside is off of Avocet Street which runs off the back of the Coligny Center, near the Piggly Wiggly. The SeaCrest Beach and Tennis is directly across from the Pig, but there is a newer timeshare a block further back. It is my understanding that%26#39;s Waterside. Spinnaker has most of it%26#39;s Timeshares in Shipyard. Waterside is the exception.

Dillon Road is mid island and near the airport. I know of no timeshares in that area.

Thanks so much. This is what I was looking for. I think the street name De Allyon was mispelled for her as Dillion. It is located at the location you mentioned. My friend is coming in the fall and I am coming back in Aug. so I can get an idea where it is located then.

Thanks again so much.

Hi lovin,

We own at Waterside and are going week after next to Waterside. We can answer description questions when we get back. What in particular are you looking for?

I stayed at Waterside for the first time last month and it was great. Beautiful grounds and villas, with activities scheduled everyday. However, it is not gated and the beach was about a 10 min. walk. It is on Waterside Dr, located behind the Beachwalk Hotel %26amp; Condos, which is behind Aunt Chiladas on Pope Ave. The Management company in on De Allyon Ave., but check in is at the resort.

Brighton tower at Kingston Plantation

I have recently booked a condo at Brighton towers at Kingston Plantation and was told by the condo owner that the pools at the resort including the Caribbean splash pool are included at no extra charge. Does anyone know this for sure that has been there?

Brighton tower at Kingston Plantation

I stayed here.. I rented privately thru an owner..

The water park was brand new at that time.. and we were charged

.... I complained.....to management then and when we got home..

** I found a way around it..tho..

I am so sure things have changed!...This was about 3 years ago ...

**maybe this was because I rented privately.. hmm...

The waterpark attendants had a list (computerized) of all registered

guests at all Kingston Plantation resorts..

Brighton tower at Kingston Plantation

Our condo in Brighton last August faced the Splash Park. We have college aged kids but we walked over there a couple times and were never charged. We were only over there a short time - stood under the big bucket of water - It is VERY crowded so get there early!!!!

Just returned from MB and stayed at the Embassy Suites at Kingston Plantation. Yes, you will be able to use the splash pool and all pools at the Embassy Suites. Brighton is right next to the Embassy Suites and a just a short little walk. There is a nice pool and hot tub at Brighton also. We liked Kingston Plantation so I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll be happy there. The Birghton tower looks very nice.

Thank you all very much. We stayed at Embassy Suites last year and had a great time. This year we chose the Brighton Tower condo to have access to a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. The private condo owner assured us we had full access and I was fine until I read a few posts that stated that the splash pool that my kids enjoyed so much last year was an additional charge if you weren%26#39;t staying in the Embassy Suites Hotel. I can also remember someone in front of me last year that said they were in a villa and weren%26#39;t allowed access. I would like to hear from someone who stayed in Brighton Towers and knows for sure. Thanks again for the responses.

While I was staying at the Embassy Suites we were told that everyone staying in the condos was allowed to use the Embassy pool, but Embassy guests could not use the different condo pools. We know poeple who stayed at Margate and Brighton towers and yes, they used the splash pools- no charge.

I stay at the Brighton every year in June and yes you have access to all the facilites including the water park. The main pool area is crowded, but they have a band and chairside service, which is very nice!!

Smoking in South Carolina?

Just recently Quebec passed a law where you must be 9 meters (20 something feet) away from a public building to smoke. I would just like to know if there is any law in South Carolina about public smoking (me and my family can%26#39;t stand the smell of cigarette smoke).

Smoking in South Carolina?

Well....since you are in the heart of the tobacco belt, I hate to say that there isnt alot of regulations on smoking here at the beach. Some restaurants are smoke free...and most do offer a smoke free section ( :) )......but nothing quite that agressive.

:)

Smoking in South Carolina?

You can smoke really anywhere you want unless there are signs or something saying ';Smoke Free'; other than that you can smoke. But I never notice it%26#39;s not a big problem or anything.

Shouldn%26#39;t be a problem. Non-smoker here married to a smoker. There is almost always a breeze down there. Even if you%26#39;re downwind you%26#39;d have to be right next to the smoker for it to be a problem.

We are from NYC, where all restaurants and bars are now smoke free. Judging from the political spots on TV, the issue of anti-smoking legislation is being debated now, here in South Carolina, just as it was debated in New York a couple of years ago.

We dislike smoke, and my husband is allergic to it. We have never experienced a problem here, although we have certainly seen some people smoking in restaurants. People here are extremely courteous and respectful of other people%26#39;s sensitivities..The sea breeze helps, as well.

I have never had any trouble in MB, just the normal things. (Restaurants that are NS, etc.)You should be fine.

Myrtle beach VIP card

I was wondering if anyone has purshased the myrtle beach VIP card. It is only 10 dollars per card, but I was wondering if it is really worth it?

Myrtle beach VIP card

from what I have been reading in other posts about that VIP CARD

discounts, you can get the same discounts from picking up pamphlets in the hotels and visiters information .

Some say its worth it other say it isn%26#39;t but 10 dollars isn%26#39;t expensive to pay .

I think it offers certain deals for restarants

Myrtle beach VIP card

I personally thought the VIP card is not worth the $10 (plus shipping - mine cost $11.05 total) because most hotels, restaurants, and stores have coupon books with the same discounts the VIP card provides. My boyfriend and I found that the only time we actually saved money just with the card (and didn%26#39;t find an equivalent coupon) was at Dawn%26#39;s Mystic Center for Massage - we saved $20 off our couples massage package.

Check out www.myrtlebeachvipcard.com for more info and a list of exactly what discounts you can get with the card - just keep in mind that most of the places are also in many of the tourist coupon books.

Don%26#39;t waste your money on the VIP card because you can get the same deals by picking up the ';FREE'; coupon booklets in your hotels office.

It is worth it depending on what you plan to do. If you have children, the Faily Kingdom Deal is good, and if you are into the nightlife seen, one cover charge at Broadway is $10.00, and most all of the clubs are free entry with The VIP card. Who wants to go searching for pamphlets? You can also have the card directly sent to your hotel and it will be at the front desk when you check in. I have done this many times and it is completely legit.

I just think that it%26#39;s easier to pick up a coupon book that you%26#39;ll be walking by anyways, for free, than to spend $10 (plus shipping) to save with the VIP card. Not only do these coupon books have free passes to places such as nightclubs, but cab drivers will also have them.

Go to the website and see if it would benefit YOU to purchase the card. Judge for yourself by the particpating merchants. I have always found for myself, the card is great. I visit MB twice every year in the summer and sometimes in the off season. I would be glad to try and answer any other questions that you may have. Thanks!

Driving Directions

We are drivng from St. Louis MO to Charleston, SC. Can anyone tell us the best route to take? AAA takes us thru Knoxville/Asheville but other routes take us thru Atlanta. Any suggestions?

Driving Directions

My parents drive here from Louisville, Ky, through Knoxville/Asheville. They say it is a pleasant route, and that they really enjoy it. They have been making this trip for many years.

If you have time to stop, Asheville is a beautiful resort area and home to the famous Biltmore Estate and gardens. Look it up in the AAA book if you%26#39;re not already familiar with it.

Driving Directions

We do the I-40 route every year to Seabrook Island. We%26#39;ve done the route thru Atlanta during racing season. This was not fun. Traffic was backed up for miles! Stick with 1-40 especially during the summer.

If you are going during the summer months, the trip across I-40 to Asheville to I-26 to Charleston will probably be the quickest. (Winter can bring snows through the mts. along 40.) As the other posters said, traffic in Atlanta is heavy and may cause delays, especially during rush hour. You shouldn%26#39;t get the same delays through Knoxville, Asheville, Spartanburg, or Columbia.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

I need restaurant ideas for lunch/dinner featuring Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine..I am from NYC so would like to experience ';southern culture';..

Thanks.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

We won%26#39;t have a car so we%26#39;ll be limited to the Charleston area -historic district/ downtown etc.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

Almost every local restaurant in Charleston serves some version of lowcountry cuisine. You can identify the famous ones by looking at any guidebook. Look for references to ';shrimp and grits,'; crab, grouper, local vegetables, etc.

In the past, I loved to take friends from NYC for lunch or dinner at 82 Queen, which is very central in the historic area and located in a charming, old, antique-filled house with a lovely courtyard. (You will see their excellent cookbook - a creative take on fresh, local ingredients and recipes - for sale everywhere.) That said, I had two very disappointing lunch-time experiences there last year and will not go back until I see some rave reviews.

The other problem is that some of the very well-known traditional restaurants fill up and require long waits. Before you commit yourself to standing on line for an hour, get some more reviews to find out if it is worth it. Talk to the people at your hotel desk and just about anyone else you see on the street. Everybody here has opinions about food and will be happy to share them.

82 Queen has great food and is very charming, especially if it%26#39;s not too hot to dine in the courtyard. The crab cakes are great!

Magnolia%26#39;s on East Bay is probably considered ';The'; place to go for Low Country dining. Their shellfood and grits dish is excellent. That%26#39;s typically the place I take out of town guests first, so they can get the ';low country'; experience.

Anson, right off the market on Anson Street, is consistently great. Only open for dinner.

Hominy Grill on Rutledge is good down home southern cooking.

High Cotton, also on East Bay is consistently good for dinner. I haven%26#39;t been as impressed with their lunches.

I haven%26#39;t been, but I%26#39;ve been told that Gullah Cuisine in Mt. Pleasant is a very good restaurant. It%26#39;s on Hwy 17.

As suggested, 82 Queen is always a good choice. I love their Fried Green Tomatoes %26amp; Honey Baked Ham on Focaccia with Creole Aioli and Pepperjack. Add a cup of their she-crab soup and you’ve got the perfect lunch!

For a really great upscale seafood dinner, I recommend Hank’s Seafood at Hayne and Church (just a block north of the Market). They are only open for dinner and if you’re here during high season, I do recommend a reservation. Their she-crab soup is very tasty…they add roe which gives it a little extra something. This is actually my favorite restaurant in town…consistently good food and service.

For a quick lunch or dinner on a budget, try Jestine’s at Meeting %26amp; Wentworth. It’s nothing fancy but they do have killer meatloaf, mac %26amp; cheese and a Coca-Cola Cake that is so good you could just slap your Mama (something has to be good to make you even think about slapping your Mama!!).

Poogan’s Porch on Queen Street (just a few doors from 82 Queen) is a good lunch spot. They have a really tasty fried chicken salad with a honey-jalapeno dressing. Instead of rolls, they serve warm freshly baked biscuits with honey butter…yum yum. They do have a really good pastry chef who just return this Spring from a stint in NYC to perfect her craft and she adds a southern flair to some tradition desserts.

High Cotton is a good spot for dinner and Sunday brunch. Their buttermilk fried oysters with green goddess dressing is to die for…was actually there for a cocktail party last week and it was all I could do not to stand at the table and eat the entire platter!

I’m not a fan of Magnolia’s while it is one of the “places to go” for most visitors. If the food is good, the service is bad and if the service is good the food is bad. It is just consistently inconsistent. Same with Hominy Grill…maybe I’m just missing something but again, I’ve tried it several times and each time I walk away thinking “why?”.

Enjoy your trip!

I don%26#39;t know how i could have forgatten to mention:

Hanks is our favorite dinner spot in Charleston, too. The local seafood is super fresh, and the preparation is delicious. My personal favorite is the grouper, which is one of their signature dishes.

There are often long waits to get into Hanks, but the crowds do not affect the quality of the food, of the service, or of the experience. We have even eaten a complete dinner at the bar one night when the wait was very long. We have never been disappointed at Hanks..

Nice hotel for two adults

Looking for a nice place to stay, just me and my husband. Plan on doing ALOT of golfing and laying by the pool. I would like to be in the Southern end toward Murrells Inlet and on the ocean. Any recommendations?

Hampton Inn Oceanfront.

Nice hotel for two adults

I%26#39;ve heard that the Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort was nice. They have their own golf course. You can stay either on the beach, on the fairway or near the pool areas. They have villas, condos, hotel rooms. It%26#39;s on Pawleys Island

www.litchfieldresort.com

Hello Bergenfield. When are you going down? Im from Sayreville and will be down the 1st two weeks in July and the middle 2 in August.

I also would try the section of Myrtle between 50th and 79th as it is a great central location for both the Northern and Southern courses.Pine Lakes,Grande Dunes, and Myrtlewood are all within 4 miles or less.

You might want to check out the Holiday Inn in Surfside Beach. It%26#39;s right on the ocean and was remodled in 2005. The Tripadvisor reviews (under Surfside Beach) are positive. I hope it%26#39;s a decent place since my husband and I will be staying there July 2-5.

We have stayed at the Hampton Inn Oceanfront on south Myrtle Beach. It is a nice clean place with a free breakfast that pretty good but it%26#39;s hard to get last minute reservations there as they are often booked.

Good luck! Enjoy your trip.

Hi Sayerville,

We going down from Aug. 5 - 11th!

Hampton Inn Oceanfront is fabulous!

Hampton Inn Oceanfront for sure! Beautiful hotel, nice location, friendly staff.
