Legend has it that “Saucy Jack” Stoney lost the Braddock’s Point Plantation to William Eddings Baynard in a late-night poker game at Hilton Head SC. The year was 1838.

The 1000-acre plantation had been in the Stoney family since the American Revolution when Captain John Stoney, Saucy Jack’s grandfather, had purchased it. It was a 4th generation inheritance by the time Saucy Jack got it from his father Dr. George Mosse Stoney.

The winner of the poker game was William Eddings Baynard. That explains the name by which it is known today: Stoney-Baynard Plantation. Some records indicate Saucy Jack simply went bankrupt and Baynard got the property at a fire sale. But that version obviously has much less dramatic appeal. Baynard died here at the “Big House” in 1849 after He and his wife Catherine had raised four children.

During the Civil War the Baynard’s and other plantation owners on Hilton Head SC were driven off the Island. The Big House became headquarters for Union officers. That made it the target of a Confederate raiding party, which torched and destroyed it.

The Baynard’s never returned to the Island after the War, although they did legally reclaim the land. Thus, the property was left in its present state of disrepair, another sad monument to the devastation of the American Civil War.

The front of the house is easily located by large square holes which once housed the posts supporting an expansive porch. To the rear stand the remains of a fireplace and outer wall.

In their beautiful setting on the highest point of the Island, these haunted places conjure happy family scenes of children and household servants playing together. A cloud blots out the sun and these are swept away by a violent conflagration. If you are very still the imagination can pick up the echo of the jack-boot invader pacing the large wrap-around porch of this haunted house.

Sometimes the haunting scenes of this idyllic setting are more evident to the senses. In life and in death luck deserted Baynard and the shades of his mournful funeral procession may still be seen filing past his tomb.

Legend has it that the rumor of jewelry, gold and riches motivated union soldiers to break into the family mausoleum. Ever since, on drizzly gray days Baynard’s ghost has been wandering the scene of his earthly existence. This is one of the true scary stories associated with paranormal activity at Hilton Head SC.

Hilton Head golf courses are some of the most pristine in the nation. Unless you are an island local or playing for the PGA tournament, planning the ultimate golf getaway is a process that should be just as enjoyable and exciting as teeing off for your first round. As a world-renowned hot spot and family vacation destination, your lodging, shopping, dining, and recreational activity options are endless. Here are some stand-out choices to assist you in planning your next trip to the island. If this is your first time, you will be back again!

Sea Pines Plantation

This 5,000 acre plantation is a home run for the entire family. Bordering the Atlantic Ocean, take advantage of the stunning views, snap a photograph with the lighthouse towering in the background amidst the rolling waves. Sea Pines is the ideal place to relax, or kick your Hilton Head trip into high gear by playing three champion courses. Fifteen miles of paved trails can be explored on foot or by bicycle rental. Later, go shopping and dine at one of several gourmet restaurants, all within one community. For those who prefer to catch their dinner, three tranquil lakes will do just the trick!

Palmetto Dunes Plantation

An athlete’s dream, Palmetto Dunes embodies the spirit and exhilaration of a sensational vacation. Embark on a journey with an award-winning tennis center, kayaking, canoeing, and sink your feet into the sand dunes as you walk to one of the most dazzling beaches the island has to offer. Three world-class golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Arthur Hills, and George Fazio are enough to entice any player to this plantation. With so many activities for young and old alike, the courses are just icing on the cake. Five star, gourmet icing, that is.

Forest Beach

Nestled between Sea Pines and Shipyard plantations on the south end of the island, Forest Beach takes relaxation to a whole new level with long days of sun and fun, cocktails right on the sand, and an abundance of shopping and restaurant options. Head to Coligny Beach, grab a frozen margarita, and watch the waves as you listen to local musicians singing with acoustic guitars on the quaint stage. Mingle with the locals to discuss your golf swing, and you are bound to meet others who moved there permanently after an intended getaway. Forest Beach vacation rentals are just what the doctor ordered for the moments away from the green.

Singleton & Burkes Beaches

Some of the newest real estate and vacation rentals on Hilton Head are located in the Singleton and Burkes Beach communities. Stay here for quality time with the family, and bask in the comfort of beaches you can call your own with fewer tourists blocking your view of the incredible ocean. Do not worry, dads, as you are still right next to some of the most impressive golf courses the island has to offer.

Many vacationers on Hilton Head Island have discovered a simple fact — a family vacation is much simpler and more economical in a condo. A condominium offers more space than a hotel room. The living room, dining room, kitchen, bath, and bedroom areas are separated, thus allowing privacy for each family member, and also giving the sense of a home away from home. Families with small children can cook simple meals and maintain nap and bedtime schedules, while allowing adults and older children to enjoy a change of pace. But no one is confined to the kitchen; there are many options to enjoy a variety of cuisine on the island.

Condos come complete with fully stocked kitchens and also often have individual laundry facilities. Units are available in a variety of sizes, usually from one to three bedrooms, with multiple bathrooms, and with linen and maid service. Many offer private porches or balconies, and televisions, as well as free bikes and internet access. As part of a complex, they may share use of a pool with other condo renters. Rental condos can sleep up to eight people, and can cost anywhere from $300 to $1,600 and up a week, depending on the location, size, and season.

Condo rentals are located all over the island, so a vacationer to Hilton Head may choose to stay in an area close to the family’s preferred activities. Condos are part of many of the golf and tennis packages offered by the many golf courses and resorts on the island. Tourists choosing to focus on ocean fishing, parasailing, or turtle-watching activities may wish to have a beach view. Others, who want a relaxing time at a slower pace, may choose a condo in the interior of the island, near beautiful, tree shaded hiking trails, shops and great dining. Hilton Head condo rentals offer the perfect place for each visitor to this beautiful island.

Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC (HGVC) markets and operates the Club, which is a points-based vacation ownership and exchange system that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide, formerly known as Hilton Hotels Corp. HGVC also provides property management services to Club and Affiliate resorts. At the date of publish, there are 50 HGVC affiliated resorts worldwide!

Hilton Worldwide was purchased in July 2007 by the Blackstone Group LP (stock ticker symbol BX) in a deal valued at $26 Billion. Blackstone also owns a number of other well known companies including Universal Studios Parks, Legoland, Madame Tussauds, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing, Allied Waste, Pinnacle Foods, and even the Weather Channel!

Early History of the Brand:

In 1919 Conrad Hilton went to Texas to take advantage of the oil boom. When he arrived, he found the local hotels so overbooked that he could not secure a room! One hotel owner told him that he wanted to sell. Within a week, Conrad had put together an investment group and purchased the Mobley Hotel in Cisco, Texas. Business continued to boom and the next year Conrad purchased two more Texas properties, the Melba Hotel in Fort Worth and a hotel in Dallas named after the famous Waldorf. Thirty years later, Conrad came full circle when he purchased the lease on the actual Waldorf-Astoria!

Conrad’s ambition and business savvy created an empire of wealth so vast that even the legendary spending of his second wife Zsa Zsa Gabor and great granddaughter Paris Hilton haven’t made a dent in the family fortune! Today, this behemoth brand owns, manages, and franchises thousands of hotels and the Hilton name continues to be one of the most recognizable in the world.

The Timeshare Resorts:

HGVC destinations offer both developed and affiliated resorts. Most people don’t realize, but only a few timeshare resorts have actually been built and developed by the Hilton brand. The majority of Hilton Grand Vacation Club properties are actually affiliate resorts. These resorts were developed by other companies, and then later entered into an affiliation agreement to participate in the Club. HGVC manages many of the affiliated resorts, but not all of them. Regardless of the original developer, you can be assured that all affiliated resorts conform to the high standards and renowned luxury of the Hilton brand, earning numerous award designations such as RCI’s coveted Gold Crown rating!

Affiliation and reciprocal usage agreements are always subject to future change, but at the time of writing this article the HGVC vacation destinations include:

Introduction to Ownership, System Rules, and Usage Strategies:

The First Rule of Timeshare is that ownership should never be considered a financial investment in real estate. Timeshare properties do not generally appreciate over time. Often, the only true gauge of a timeshare’s value is your usage and enjoyment of the property, and in the photos and memories of your incredible vacations!

You should never make an impulse purchase for any type or vacation ownership program! Also, take time to consider the secondary or resale market. Purchasing a timeshare interest on the secondary market from a current owner who no longer uses their ownership can save you thousands on your purchase price. Some benefits may not transfer via the resale market, so you’ll have to compare the positive and negative aspects carefully before buying. Finally, purchasing from an experienced and respected brokerage is the safest way to ensure you have all the information you need to ensure the timeshare you purchase provides you with years of great vacations!

Ok- now on to specific info about the Hilton Grand Vacations Club system…

The Club is in reality just a point based reservation system. Club members receive a point allotment based on the villa type and season they own (or have reserved in some cases) at their home resort. As with any point system, proper planning can greatly enhance your usage and satisfaction. It’s important to understand the different ownership types available, the benefits of ownership, the basic rules of the system, as well as some strategies that current owners utilize to maximize their usage and enjoyment.

Ownership Types:

When learning about this system, the distinction between HGVC developed resorts and HGVC affiliated resorts becomes important. The ownership and usage rules may be quite different depending on which home resort you own. For example, some of the affiliated resorts located in the southwest region of Florida were originally sold as fixed week timeshares. For fixed and event week ownerships, the home week is automatically reserved each year unless the owner cancels the reservation. Most HGVC developed and built resorts are all sold as floating week timeshares. The underlying ownership is always based on the home resort. Because of this, usage strategies will vary slightly based on your home resort.

The deed itself may also vary from resort to resort. Some ownership documents show a specific week and unit, even if they are just used for inventory purposes. HGVC at Seaworld is an example of this type of deed. Other ownership deeds don’t have an assigned week and unit, but instead show a usage type in a specific villa size. HGVC on International Drive uses this second type of deed format. Finally, when you consider the international affiliates Fiesta Americana resorts in Mexico- these properties are sold as non-deeded right to use leaseholds with a specific expiration date when your usage will end.

Also, it’s very important to understand that Elite Status designation cannot be obtained via resale purchases and that not all affiliate resorts allow the Club membership rights to transfer on the resale market. For example, the Carlsbad affiliates do not allow the HGVC point usage to transfer to a buyer but the Fiesta Americana contracts do allow the point usage to transfer. Another distinction is that some affiliates require a $399. reconversion fee be paid to Hilton after the transfer deed is recorded, in order for the new owner to be enrolled into the Club and have the ability to convert their week into Club points. If you are not sure what type of ownership exists at a specific resort, consulting with an experienced real estate broker or associate is something that you need to do before you buy! Contact us with any questions you may have.

Seasons:

This is another area which can often be confusing to newbies! Generally, there are four main season names that are used by HGVC: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze. The particular weeks that fall within these seasons will vary depending on the resort. Some locations will have all four seasons, while others may only be divided into two or three seasons. The real confusion begins with a few of the affiliates. Some affiliate resorts were originally sold with different season designations than those used by Hilton. Also, a few of these resorts may have a float season that encompasses weeks which fall into different HGVC season designations. It’s possible that an owner may have the ability to reserve a week in part of the platinum and also the gold season. For these ownerships, the amount of Club points the owner receives may actually vary from year to year depending on the actual week that is reserved. The good news is that this example is the exception rather than the rule.

The Club Point values for the weeks, seasons, and unit sizes for each Club resort can be found in the published Member’s Guide http://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/mg/. Most resale buyers tend to focus on the Hilton built properties, to avoid confusion and ensure they receive a consistent number of Club points each year.

Exchange Options:

There are different ways to exchange your ownership week for another resort. The easiest way is often simply using the Club points to reserve at another Club affiliate. To go outside the Club, a third party exchange system must be used such as RCI, Interval International, or a smaller system such as SFX Resorts. Your home resort will determine which exchange systems you have access to as an owner.

Fees:

Maintenance fees are determined each year based on the overall operating budget of the home resort. Fees can vary widely from one resort to another, and these assessments will vary from year to year. Maintenance fees will increase over the years. You should always consider maintenance fees before making a decision to purchase, and should compare fees between several resorts as part of your research. In some cases, the annual fee can actually be more important over time that the negotiated purchase price!

Generally, the unit type and size determines the base maintenance fee amount, not the point allotment. A one bedroom villa in the platinum season will be assessed the same base maintenance fee as a one bedroom in the silver season. Only the property tax is likely to vary because of the season, so the tax assessment does create a slight difference between the one bedroom platinum and the one bedroom silver. It’s often a good buyer strategy to purchase a 1 bedroom platinum season ownership rather than a 2 bedroom lower season week, even if the 1br villa has a higher purchase price! Your brokerage can help you compare different scenarios to determine which property best meets your needs and your budget.

There can also be some differences in when fees are paid from resort to resort. A good example of this is can be seen in ownerships at the Bay Club at Waikoloa. For a Bay Club owner to borrow points from a future usage year, they will have to prepay an estimated amount for the next year’s maintenance fees (any difference from the estimate is paid or credited at the time the fees are actually billed). International owners at Craigendarroch cannot prepay, so are unable to borrow from a future allotment. An owner at HGVC at SeaWorld can borrow next year’s points without paying the equivalent annual dues as long as their account is current at the time of reservation.

Club dues must also be paid each year. For most resort, members living in the US and Canada are currently charged $99. while members living outside the US or Canada are currently charged $139. (West 57th owners are charged $197. and $232. respectively). Members who own a US resort and also an international resort may be required to pay Club dues for each account as the two systems may not be able to be combined into a single billing account. This is very rare and seems to be a system glitch rather than intentional.

Finally, point systems also have incidental fees that may be charged for various services and transactions such as making club reservations, point rescue, changeable option reservations, guest certificates, and RCI exchange system deposits. It also is a good idea to ask about resort specific fees such as parking fees and tourist taxes prior to confirming a reservation. If you aren’t aware prior to arrival, parking fees at destinations like New York and South Beach can be quite a surprise!

Reservations:

Hilton Grand Vacations Club has five reservation types.

Home Week Reservations are a full seven night stay in the exact unit type and season owned at your home resort. Reservation can be from nine months up to one year out of your check in day. The required check in day varies from resort to resort. Because owners get a longer reservation window at their home resort, it’s often a good idea to buy at the resort you believe you will use most often, in the unit and season that best meets your future plans. Home week reservations have the greatest opportunity at finding availability, other than fixed and event week ownerships.

Home Resort Reservations are currently only available to owners of the West 57th by Hilton Club resort in New York City. There is no minimum stay requirement for these reservations, but the reservation must be made at the West 57th resort. These reservations may be made from 45 days up to nine months in advance of the check out date.

Club Reservations can be made up to nine months prior to the requested check out date at most resorts. Club reservations must be for three days or greater in duration. Reservations can be made at most resorts during this period (West 57th in New York for example, only allows Club Reservations to be made up to 44 days prior to the check out date) and all points owners have an equal opportunity to get reservations. You can reserve any type of villa, and in any season- only being restricted by the number of points that you own!

Open Season Reservations can be made at most resorts (West 57th is excluded) up to 30 days prior to your date of check out and require only a two day minimum stay. These reservations are paid for with cash, but at rates that are heavily discounted! Currently, the 1br open season reservation rate is $80/night for Sun-Thurs and $100/night for Fri-Sat reservations.

Hilton Honors Reservations are reservations made via the Hilton Honors system. All HGVC members are given Silver VIP privileges in the Hilton Honors program. Owners can choose to deposit their ownership week into the Honors program in return for Honors points which can be used for a variety of services and hotel accommodations into affiliated Hilton brands. These deposits must be made more no later than December 31st of the year prior to receiving the points. (In other words, the points for the 2010 use year would have to be deposited prior to Dec. 31, 2009). Trading your timeshare ownership week for hotel stays is not generally a strategy that is recommended, but a few owners find this perk to be beneficial.

Please review the Member’s Guide for the latest point charts and season calendars.
