The fortunate owners of the vacation villas in Swallowtail at Sea Pines are aware of the updates that they continually encounter when they come back to Swallowtail for their reliable, annual vacation in the heart of America’s favorite island. The occasional visitor might not notice that new bathrooms, appliances, cabinets, floor treatments, and furnishings are continually being installed at Swallowtail.

A funny perspective was one we encountered when we found a printed flyer from the launch of the Swallowtail villas. This was one of the original properties of what became the most successful fractional ownership vacation network, and so the story goes back a while. The introductory flyer mentioned that the entertainment centers included AM/FM radio!

Families enjoying the speed and flexibility of their high-speed broadband connections and 60″ flat TVs at Swallowtail today might get a chuckle at that.

Good Neighbors Indeed

This culture of continual refreshment is carried on by our neighbors here in Sea Pines, too, and so all the fun things to do here are equally up to date. In fact, it might be said that the most recent years of life in Sea Pines have been a true golden age, maybe the best time ever to enjoy life in the fulfillment of the founder’s dream.

Since 2005, the investment and confidence of the Goodwin family in the Sea Pines Resort has been called a rebirth, by no less an authority than Golf Magazine. A friend who’s done a lot of work with resorts and golf courses says, “You can always tell the difference that private investment makes. It shows in the details.”

You Can’t Miss It

Still, you don’t have to drill down to details to notice all the improvements and modernization measures that have been put in place in the years that the Sea Pines Resort has been in the Goodwins’ hands. From the clubhouse to the conference center, from the golf courses to the Beach Club, a dedication to offering the highest levels of amenities and service is evident. We couldn’t have asked for finer neighbors.

These are the Good Old Days

Some of the people we work with at Swallowtail arrived in Sea Pines in time to know founder Charles Fraser personally, and a few had the privilege of working with him directly. As a result, we take full advantage of reviewing and referring to those key factors for Sea Pines’ success that Charles put in place from the beginning. Envisioning Swallowtail and putting us in the middle of the Miracle Mile, halfway from the lighthouse to the Sea Pines Beach Club, was one of those success factors, and of course there are many others.

In our own domain here in Swallowtail at Sea Pines, we strive continually to hold up our end of this historic bargain. A resort inspired by a genius, brought to life with talent and dedication, and reborn continually thanks to people who understand – this is what we inherited here in Sea Pines, and what we work to achieve again every day.
