The Swallowtail complex is 1 mile from the Sea Pines Beach Club beach. From early Spring to late Fall, there is a trolley that stops across the street and makes it very easy to get there and back. There is also a parking lot at the beach club that you can access, but in the summer months, there are a limited number of parking spaces available for anyone who is not a full-time property owner, which we are not as timeshare owners. There is also full-time, year-round access to Tower Beach for Swallowtail owners. This beach is private, very nice, and less crowded. It's about 2 1/2 miles from Swallowtail, closer to the South Beach area of Sea Pines. Regarding gate pass access to Sea Pines, as an owner, you will enjoy access to Sea Pines, and will be able to pick up a Sea Pines gate pass upon arrival, just outside the main gate at the Sea Pines Welcome Center. The pass is free to you as an owner. There is a $100 assessment that has already been approved for next year. None others are in the works. The units, roofs, siding, grounds, interiors, etc. are in good repair. Directly across the street from Swallowtail is the Sea Pines Center, and there is a bike rental concession there. There are also many other bike rentals locations in and out of Sea Pines, and delivery and pick-up is offered by these services. I am a huge fan of Swallowtail and love coming to Hilton Head every year so, YES, I would purchase again. Compared to renting, it's quite a bargain. The location is fabulous. The units are spacious. And once you own, you can count on having a great vacation every year.
