Best Moving Company in Hilton Head Island

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, Sc. (WTOC) - People are celebrating Labor Day all over our area today, including on the beaches on Hilton Head Island.

It’s more crowded than it was earlier in the day but still less packed than you might expect for the last big holiday of summer. Some folks came out despite the weather for a bunch of different reasons.

”Labor Day always a beach somewhere. This is our first time to Hilton Head Island in many years,” said Cindy Perfater.

She’s happy to be back with family and friends. To no surprise, that’s a common theme out here.

”We’re here to do like a celebration, it was his birthday and obviously it’s Labor Day so we want to make sure we’re out here having some fun. We’re from East Tennessee so we wanted to come out here and enjoy the beach,” said Justin Karsten and Drew Devoti.

Those guys aren’t letting the weather rain on their parade and neither is this one.

”It’s still better than being inside or anywhere else. Even if it’s raining it’s still the beach,” said Gordon Perfater.

Shore beach service says they’re ready to keep you safe no matter how many other people are out here with you.

”We’ve got lifeguards stationed on the beach, we had a few come in for the weekend from school, so we’re ready for people so just swim near a lifeguard. It’s been a relatively calm weekend. One of the biggest things we usually see is kids getting lost, so the lifeguards spend a lot of time reuniting, but we really didn’t have that this weekend which was kind of nice,” said Mike Wagner, operations manager with Shore Beach Service.

The dog ordinance on the beaches of Hilton Head switches tomorrow so you’ll be able to bring your dog out here during the day on a leash and in the morning or at night. They can roam freely as long as they are trained to respond to your voice.

As daytime celebrations of Labor Day wind down and folks get ready for their night plans to take shape, some spots say the weekend was a little crazy, with crowds coming in nonstop from open till close.

Today, it’s calmed down a bit, but at the Ice Cream Cone they are giving these last few hours of summer business all they’ve got.

”It’s been a fantastic year and it’s the last big weekend so we have one last big push. We had some of the girls come in from college to help work, we were back at full staff for this one last big weekend and then we gear into our kinda offseason,” said Peter Savarese, owner of the Ice Cream Cone.

Pete said on Sunday, specifically, they had a line around the corner that went for about 50 yards.

If you’re a golfer, or there’s a golfer in your life, have you or they ever taken a golf getaway?

A trip where golf is the main focus?

Sure, maybe the food, the nightlife, or the hotel or resort will be a talking point following the trip, but the true highlight of the travel experience is all about the golf.

Whether it’s for a famous course or a destination well known for golf, it’s something every golfer should do in their lifetime.

I spent this past weekend doing just that in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. It’s a destination with mostly the family beach vacation traveler arriving by car or plane. Living in Georgia, I have made the drive with family before.

But my trip was all about the golf this time.

Hilton Head Island has over 20 championship golf courses, giving the golf traveler plenty of options. Courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Pete Dye, and Davis Love III present some unique and challenging options.

You might even see an alligator or two during your round. I played on Saturday and Sunday and saw one at each course. The couple I was paired with on Saturday traveled from Minnesota to Hilton Head Island specifically for golf, wearing matching outfits and all. I loved it.

I am by no means a great golfer. But any day on the course is better than no day on the course – rain or shine. And exploring new courses in beautiful destinations? It’s hard to beat that.

The world is full of amazing golf courses with stunning scenery. So, what golf getaway will you help plan next?

After five years, Driftwood Stable on Hilton Head is being forced to relocate due to development — a move the owner says reflects a negative trend on the island.

Located at 200 Jonesville Road, stable volunteer Jada Saba said the area is “one of the last little gems” on Hilton Head. Live Oaks still thrive along the road, Saba said, and the space is a uniquely tranquil and spacious environment for the horses unmatched elsewhere on the island.

Sondra Makowski, the stable’s owner and head riding instructor, said she learned last week the land was being rezoned for residential use. Makowski said surveyors have been on the property already. Sondra and her sister, Marlene Makowski, have until December to find new arrangements for their business — and the 17 horses the stable owns or boards.

“I always knew when I took over this place that, yes, it could be sold and probably eventually be developed, but I was hoping not for another 20 or 30 years,” Sondra Makowski said. “The landlord did at least give us the 60-day notice. We’re actually just coming up on our fifth anniversary ... so it’s a little bittersweet.”

The stable has been well-loved by Lowcountry residents since arriving from its original Georgia location. It was recently voted as the best horseback riding location in the Lowcountry, and Makowski said there are few places that offer the wide array of services Driftwood does.

The stable is one of the few places to offer horse riding lessons on the island.

Aside from teaching riding lessons year-round, Driftwood boards horses and has a team that competes in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association. One of the stables riders even made it to the 2022 IEA national competition in Pennsylvania.

“IEA is great because the kids don’t have to have an expensive horse or expensive equipment. We go to the horse shows, and you pull a random horse that’s suitable for your division,” Makowski said. “I really love that program because it levels the playing field and gives opportunities for kids that may not have access to six-figure horses.”

Saba said the stable has offered many children, including her own, an irreplaceable activity they are attached to.

“My daughter on Friday night went to her room and made a video that broke my heart of her riding in the barn, and everything that the barn meant to her,” Saba said.

Driftwood also hosts non-competitive events that teach children how to take care of horses by shadowing Makowski.

“This place, it’s more than my home. It’s my livelihood,” Makowski said.

The marshland around Jonesville Road has been at the forefront of redevelopment in recent months, Saba said, with a new plot at the corner of Jonesville and Spanish Wells Road being prepared for housing as well.

Makowski said the redevelopment of the barn property would be another “concerning” loss of green space on Hilton Head.

Some early leads have emerged for relocation, Makowski said, but an ideal location with the space and facilities needed to continue all of Driftwood’s services is difficult to find and pay for. She’s hoping to launch fundraising efforts to help with the relocation and potentially connect with interested landowners.

“I want to stay as close as possible, just so I don’t lose a lot of my students,” Makowski said. “I started some of them from the ground up and they’re special to me. They’re like my kids, too.”
