I moved from New Jersey almost two years ago. I made my decision to retire to Hilton Head after vacationing over a decade ago. I spent many years traveling the country and never came across an area as beautiful at Beaufort county. Great video!
It is a beautiful place. Your hair will curl!!! I do not bother straightening my hair. You can go through Charlotte too for international flights. I love the food and calm nights.
I talked you your husband last month about moving down to Beaufort once I retire from the DOD. I still got time until I do. Keep up the great videos. It brings back great memories of Beaufort. Thank you, Joe
Hi Joe! Yep, Bob told me he talked with you. Looking forward to having you back in the neighborhood! In the meantime, please reach out with any questions as you get closer to retirement! Be well! Sue
When I left Long Island, NY in 1992 right after undergrad school and headed for South Carolina, my family and friends thought I was crazy. They would say things like, "They're still fighting the Civil War down there!", and "They don't like Yankees!". I have NEVER had an issue. I have lived in Greenville, Anderson, and now Myrtle Beach and my family and I have a WONDERFUL quality of life. BTW- the same friends and family who thought I was crazy are asking me for relocation help!
Thanks for watching and the nice feedback! That’s been my experience too! The southern hospitality definitely exists! And our son and girlfriend are relocating here next month!
Good Morning Ms Sue. I also have lived here for 34 years. I do so love it here despite the Bugs, Gators, Spiders and Crazy drivers. I live at the end of the MCAS Runway 5. I am Retired now from GE Aircraft Engines and do not like the Noisy F-35's. Thank goodness , I had another Career to stay busy and support myself. 26 years and you probably have heard of me about Town. Retired from that too. You have probably seen Statues of me around Town. I am the Actual original " CAPTAIN MORGAN " spiced Run Representative.. Arrgh! Great Video . Have a Great Day.
I miss it badly down there I’m from Beaufort South Carolina originally lol I have naturally curly hair lol I use leave in conditioners and stuff so I never had an issue with it but that is just me and my brother lives in Colorado Springs Colorado lol I’m a lot like you on the shopping and bugs? They suck no matter where you live in the summer lol. I’ve been in Ohio too long the taxes here is way higher than most places I’ve been lol as for hurricanes? I’m not that much concerned about it lol we have blizzards here and they knock power out for days or weeks at a time too and as for the tattoo thing? I am not much a tattoo girl myself so no worries there lol. I miss it cause of so many positive reasons
Yes South Carolina is for me the problem is that I do not drive after all I like to walk because I was raised in the era my hometown use to walk to the workplace, schools etc.
This is a great channel for information, but the loud background music makes it difficult to get through the entire segment. Thank you for what you're doing anyway.
@@TheLowcountry Oh. No Problem. I really did not want to even mention it, but since your channel is so good, I'd just thought that it could use a mention. We will continue to watch your channel as you have shown true class in how you responded. My wife and I will be up in North Myrtle and Little River in a few months just to hang out for a bit. Take care and keep up the great work.
Nice content. We are in NC, Raleigh area, and we love visiting SC :-) If you ever come to Raleigh, hit me up, I'd love to connect and talk differences between NC and SC. Many people are relocating to our states.
Are there higher altitude options in SC away from the low-lands and ocean where humidity and bugs are less to be concerned about? What would be the minimum yearly vehicle license fee for older vehicles including motorcycles? Auto insurance rates for minimal liability coverage?
Hi, thanks for watching! Homeowners and flood insurance here are still very reasonable. We live right on the water and pay less than $350 per year for flood insurance. SC has not experienced the exodus of insurance companies that Florida has.
Thanks for watching! The Port Royal waterfront development is very slow going! There are talks of Safe Harbor Marina, owners of Port Royal Landing, in conversation to purchase the land from Grey Ghost Properties and build a new marina with 250 boat slips and develop the surrounding land with single family homes, condos and townhomes. Time will tell!

Loved your video! So excited! I’m finally following my heart and moving to Beaufort, SC! I should have done this 25 years ago!
Thanks for your feedback and watching my video! Better late than never! Please call if I can help with your home search!
You will absolutely love it. You get used to the smell of pluff mud lol
@@CatDad01 Thanks for watching! Yes, you do get use to the smell! It's overrun by the gorgeous wildlife/sea life it attracts!

Hi Robert, or rather Captain! Thanks for your support on my videos! It sounds like you are certainly enjoying your retired life, good for you!
I was shocked when I landed in Charleston last January bc their airport is so tiny. It’s literally a two wing remodel of it’s 1940’s original version.
We have Palmetto bugs here in Virginia. And they do fly. I saw one as big as a small rodent in my kitchen.
Thanks for watching! And yes, they can get very large and creepy!
They call them water bugs in Richmond. Had a ground floor apartment & had them all the time.
I love the international airport in Myrtle Beach. Enjoy your videos
Thanks for watching and your nice feedback! 🙂
I love the tattoo rule.
In addition to alligators there are also several varieties of snakes including poisonous ones. FLY NAVY!!!
Thanks for watching! Yes, we have 38 species of snakes, 6 are poisonous. I'm actually added that info to my next video!

Thanks for watching! It sounds like we are "on the same page" with regards to the South! I do love it here!
@@TheLowcountry yep I miss it bad. As I’ve said lol
The bugs can’t be worse than ours here in Florida. You get used to them. Just so they stay outside
Thanks for watching! Yes, you just learn to deal with them!
Target on Fording island road? Bluffton SC? I stoped to shop more than once
Thanks for watching! They do have some good shopping!
Thanks for the information. Great video for newcomers.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful!
Yes South Carolina is for me the problem is that I do not drive after all I like to walk because I was raised in the era my hometown use to walk to the workplace, schools etc.
Old joke...when you die in the south, your trip to the afterlife has a connection in Atlanta. 😅
Lived in NO. Charleston for 7 years, never had a problem with Hurricanes. Or alligators just keep your eyes open.
Nothing makes me happier knowing that people from this state don’t feel like seeing graffiti all over someone’s face 👍👍👍
LOL, thanks for watching!
Love the bonus reason, but alligators scare the heck out of me too...
Thanks for watching! I get it but really, the alligators don't mess with you. Just don't walk with a small dog along a pond/lagoon and you'll be fine!
Great info … and all the more reasons to move to SC!
Thanks for watching and the feedback Steve! Yes, come on down!
This is a great channel for information, but the loud background music makes it difficult to get through the entire segment. Thank you for what you're doing anyway.
Oh my! Sorry about that, Lou! I promise I will tone it down!!!

Yes...for no seem's...dont leave your car windows down,over night..
I move here from Northern California. The various taxes are WAY lower than California. Seriously, don't sweat the taxes here.
Don't forget the state income tax. We have no state income taxes in Tennessee.
Thanks for watching! Yes, we do have state income tax but I feel the low property taxes help make up for that!

Will do and thanks for watching!
The last one will be a Pro for me👍🏽
Thanks for watching and glad that last one appeals to you!
Face tatoos??? How weird! Guess wrestlers don't come into town. You sure are enthusiastic. Nice video.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!
I love the facts.
Are there higher altitude options in SC away from the low-lands and ocean where humidity and bugs are less to be concerned about? What would be the minimum yearly vehicle license fee for older vehicles including motorcycles? Auto insurance rates for minimal liability coverage?
Thanks for watching! Yes, I would recommend the northern, inland areas with mountains and lakes like Greenville or Spartanburg.
I'm thinking about taking a trip to south Carolina. TH-cam Teezy T Phoenix. Song says it all.
What is the typical flood insurance home owners insurance like on a home there now storms are up?
Hi, thanks for watching! Homeowners and flood insurance here are still very reasonable. We live right on the water and pay less than $350 per year for flood insurance. SC has not experienced the exodus of insurance companies that Florida has.
@@TheLowcountry thats good
@@TheLowcountry what about car insurance? Does SC have full tort on the car insurance ?
Are there 55+ communities that we can visit as a life style visit?
Thanks for watching! Best to my knowledge, since Covid, they no longer offer the weekend lifestyle visits.
Exactly why I L💚VE Beaufort and the Lowcountry! Miss it and hope to return one day. What's the latest news on the development in Port Royal?
Thanks for watching! The Port Royal waterfront development is very slow going! There are talks of Safe Harbor Marina, owners of Port Royal Landing, in conversation to purchase the land from Grey Ghost Properties and build a new marina with 250 boat slips and develop the surrounding land with single family homes, condos and townhomes. Time will tell!
from living in south Carolina near Anderson u never know the weather🤷♀️ don’t rely on the weather man
Very ture, our weather can change on a dime! Thanks for watching!
Yes and those ICE storms look out power lines get taken down by those limbs. Yes I know duke is doing a better job at trimming the limbs back.
Im shocked its so expensive compared to other southern states ,
Thanks for watching! SC is more expensive than GA but not as high as FL. I've lived in all three states.
Love the tattoo rules 7:43
There is a new airport in Hilton head
Thanks for watching! They do have a very small airport with limited flights but most folks use the Charleston or Savannah airport.
I BET it's NOT as hot as "Vegas"!!
Thanks for watching Ella! It's a different kind of HOT! We have heavy vs. your dry air. I guess it's a matter of preference!
July and August the humanity is like Florida. You can cut the air with a knife.
I would like to very gently restrict your hands to your sides to see if you could still talk. You do have interesting videos.
Thanks for watching and the feedback! I'm just an armature and that's me!
Wow - Fact Check ✔ like at all??????
Thanks for watching!
