Tucked into the scenic wetlands of Hardeeville, South Carolina, just a short drive from Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort, and Savannah, lies a community that feels like a year-round vacation: Four Seasons at Hilton Head Lakes. Designed for active adults looking to live life fully, this gated 55+ neighborhood blends tranquil natural beauty with abundant recreational amenities — all within easy reach of coastal beaches and Lowcountry charm.
From festive plants and natural décor to iconic winter foods, many of the holiday traditions we know today either began here or were popularized in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Poinsettias
The beloved poinsettia’s American story starts in the Lowcountry, where Joel Robert Poinsett brought the brilliant red plant from Mexico in 1825. Its popularity spread nationwide, making it a lasting symbol of Christmas.
There’s a certain magic to the Lowcountry coastline—salt on the breeze, pluff mud in the air, and a soundtrack that drifts from beachside bars and summer festivals. That soundtrack, unmistakably smooth and nostalgic, is beach music. Not to be confused with surf rock or tropical party anthems, beach music is a uniquely Southern form of rhythm and blues that found its cultural home along the Carolina coast.
Sun City Hilton Head by Del Webb was the premier 55+ active adult community in the Lowcountry and continues to set the standard today. With single family homes, cottages and villas providing maintenance free living, ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 square feet, there is a home and lifestyle to suit everyone. Lifestyle is the name of the game in Sun City. With clubs and activities for every interest and hobby, residents can fill their social calendars every day of the week or just sit back and soak up the sun, read a book, enjoy a meal with friends and neighbors, enjoy a softball game or a round of golf. This Sun City community not only provides the opportunity to enjoy your hobbies but offers a wealth of interests to explore and make new friends along the way.
