Ellington at Wachesaw Plantation East

We are loyal fans of this resort. Many new units, beautiful landscaping, and recreation amenities have been completed in the recent few years. We love the heated indoor pool and the beautiful adjoining outdoor pool. The mini golf is beautiful as well as the picnic and barbecue area! There is so much to do in this area. The shows and aquarium are outstanding!. We were there over Mother's Day and my grown son and my husband accompanied me for a ride on the beautiful temperature controlled , enclosed boxes of the gigantic Sky Wheel ( a VERY large ferris wheel with a spectacular view of the ocean and up and down the seacost! ) A trip to Pawley's Island and the Hammock shops was another treat. The BEST seafood I ever ate was in a small fishing village about an hr. south, off Rt. 17, called T.W. Graham on Pinckney St. in McClellanville. What a quaint anti-bellum type fishing village, the real "old South" serving low country authentic food! We wandered back in the country toward Conway and experienced a local country auction! We have our favorite spots to stop and re-visit every time we come!

We really liked this place. Obviously things have changed since reviews dated 2007. Everything was well cared for, activities were interesting, the indoor pool and whirlpool were perfect temperature (not freezing and boiling like many places), the little deli had great sandwiches at reasonable price, and nearby (driving distances) restaurants are reasonable, and plentiful. We used their freebie entrance to state parks, and hiked a lot. This would be a great place for golfing--driving range and putting greens as well as 18 hole course, and the units were generous size. To our surprise we like this better than many places we've stayed in the north end of town.
