A Hilton Head (Treadmill) Vacation

Those of us of a certain age (or craziness) need a treadmill everyday to feel complete (or healthy). Thirty minutes, heart rate up, etc. Great idea. But why not do it in style?

When you vacation on Hilton Head Island you've got serious (and fun) opportunities to keep up your fitness routine. In fact, we encourage you to do so. It will help your golf game, your tennis, etc.

Your first fitness center is free: Twelve miles of beach to run, jog or walk. Literally breathtaking. Or do it by bike. If bikes aren't part of your rental agreement, check this link out. And check out our beach access here.

Next, our FANTASTIC fitness centers, which have daily, weekly and monthly rates. Guaranteed to help you golf game, your tennis, your life. Vacations are meant for refreshment, relaxation, renewal - for mind and body. Re-create, that's the idea. We have some of the finest fitness facilities anywhere in the Southeast. In fact, no matter where you're from, you will not find ANYTHING better than what our Island offers - seriously.

A favorite is the Players Club. Heated pool, racquet ball, eight room, cardio training, personal trainers, yoga classes. This has got to be the best of the best. But there is so much more. Palmetto Athletic Club has VERY serious and wonderful personal trainers. Ideal for golf and tennis injuries. Four star recommendation.

Actually, we haven't visited a local fitness center/athletic club in our neck of the woods that doesn't match the best in major metro areas. We are so lucky. Check out Breakthrough Fitness Centers and Beach City Health and Fitness too. All have programs that target your specific needs. Our advice: Get fit - and lower your score.

Pet - And What To Do With Them!

Most Vacation homes do not allow pets. So you need to find someone to board King or Muffy in your hometown. Which means you sort of have to plan your vacation around Rex or Puffy, as in when you can drop them off and pick them up.

Here's an idea! Why not bring them with you and board them on Hilton Head Island? Think about it.
One: We have a sensational doggie park at Chaplin Community Park.
Two: We also have local kennels that specialize in vacationing pets.

Evergreen Pet Lodge may be the most, well, outlandish. In fact, it's wonderful. We're talking 14 foot indoor runs, "play time", climate-controlled kennels, individual exercise. Your pooch or kitty will be totally spoiled.

Camp Green Dog is an essential choice for those pet owners who need to be up close and personal with their dogs and pets while on vacation. These folks offer everything, from in home day care to cat condos to boarding for exotic pets (don't want to leave your boa at home?) to a pet spa. Very reasonable.

Hilton Head Veterinary Clinics have two locations for boarding and care. And get this: at the Palmetto Bay Road location, you can arrange drop off and pick up times 27/7.

Many pet owners don't realize that pets need a "vacation" too. Well, it's not really a vacation. Pets just need to be reassured, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, that they are not being abandoned. Good kennels make sure of that. Big notation here for all kennels. CALL AHEAD. Also, make sure all pets have their appropriate shots. And yes, you can visit Rex or Muffy daily.
