I have stayed at many resorts so far. I’ve had some good and some bad experiences. Well, these guys, who sell timeshares, are really clever guys and they know how to make fool of people. They boast a lot about many timeshares that they claim are ocean front and are just at the walking distance from the shore. But in fact, I have not experienced that so far.
I am planning my next vacation at “Marriott Monarch at Sea Pines Resort” which I believe is located in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. As my vacation planner told me. He calims that the resort is at the walking distance from the beach. Can anybody tell me how far is it really from the shoreline? And if it is a couple of miles, then do they provide shuttle service?
Sprawled over six acres of beachfront property and flanked with ample natural beauty, is the Monarch at Sea Pines Resort. This includes about 450 feet of Atlantic Beach; doesn’t it sound great? The hotel’s location gives it the edge in breathtaking scenery along with the open spaces. To enjoy a quiet and private vacation or getaway, this is the perfect set up.
The two bedroom-two bathroom villas are provided with private balcony or patio, separate living and dining areas. The guests are ferried around within the resort in shuttle service accessible through the front desk. The villas have fully equipped kitchens with cookware and tableware, and are provided with washer and dryer as well. One can choose an ocean front view villa for that extra special view.
The guests can have a refreshing swim in one of the two shimmering pools, while the children enjoy themselves in their own special pool. There are three outdoor hot water whirlpools in a beautiful setting for guests to soak and relax in. For the outdoors loving, there is an 18-hole championship golf course available nearby. There is the Sea Pines Racquet Club close by, having 25 clay courts and five hard-surface courts. One can enjoy a day each of fishing, horseback riding and boating with the family, all available at close quarters.
The Monarch at Sea Pines Resort is the ideal holiday spot for honeymooners and families looking for a peaceful holiday to relax and unwind.
A few years back my wife and I had a very enjoyable stay in a 3 bedroom timeshare right on the beach. The Old Post Office was the main restaurant where we had one of the best meals of our lives. Shrimp boats came in daily and we purchased and prepared shrimp fresh in our kitchen. We walked on the beach and looked out over marshlands and saw alot of beautiful birds. Edisto Island is (was) one of the hidden secrets of the South as reported by a local. Most of the houses in the area are built on stilts...summer homes in a small community. Charleston, Savannah and Hilton Head were easy day trips. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet time, we would definitly recommend Edisto Island. This was a Fairfield timeshare.

Reason: add
That sounds like a perfect spot for a relaxing retreat that would not be overrun with tourists. I can see myself reading good books and catching up on keeping my body and mind healthy.
