We rented bikes and beach chairs for our week in Palmetto Dunes. Both the bikes and chairs were waiting on us at our condo complex when we arrived. Bikes were labeled with our last name and very easy to find. The bikes were in fantastic condition, looked new for the summer season. Chairs were also like-new, very comfortable, and easy to carry. When we left, bikes and chairs were picked up before we had the car packed. Could not have been an easier experience.

I had the pleasure of coming across this shop on my way out of Sea Pines one day during our brief holiday stay in September 2019. The wonderful smell of chocolate greeted me as I walked in, so I knew I was in good hands! An incredibly kind lady helped me with all my questions - I purchased a number of beach-shaped chocolate items for family and friends back home, including a few chocolate gators, white chocolate sand dollars, a chocolate crab, lighthouses, and sandals! She was so very helpful and wrapped each item in bubble wrap to ensure they made it home in one piece, which is exactly how they arrived at home! I also picked up several boxes of the sea salt caramels and some lagoon goo (caramel, dark and milk chocolate bark) which was excellent. Very rich and wonderful. If you are looking to shop local and bring something back for family and friends (or yourself!) this is the place to go.

Silver and goldsmiths creating custom jewelry since 2006. Design, create and repurpose of jewelry to your specs. Full line of repairs on sterling and gold jewelry. Lowcountry Art Gallery featuring 40 local artists. Come for the jewelry...stay for the art. Nationally recognized recently with acceptance into The 2019 Biennale National juried art Show. Congratulations to Jim on this achievement.

This little gem is a step above all big jewelers ... they strive on biblical philosophy ... and they have awesome silver items. The Bible speaks on certain biblical philosophies and Linda and Jim Saylor seem to have built their business on these terms. When God is your CEO ... you will always be on track. Jim repaired a few items for me and because they were minor repairs, he would not take any payment for them ... this is WHY I always seek out my HHI retailers for gifts, even when gifting others in far places. The Silver Garden, Chocolaté-by-the-Sea, Gifted, Pyramids (Sea Pines and Main Street-near HH Plantation) Louettés and Bay Breeze are some of my favorites ... check them out for great small gifts and personalized service.
