"The addition of Marriott's SurfWatch marks a very important milestone for us, as we welcomed our Marriott Vacation Club owners here 20 years ago," said Stephen P. Weisz, president of Marriott Vacation Club International. "We're honored to continue to be a part of the Hilton Head Island community and give over 40,000 families, including my own, a vacation home on this great island destination."

Comforts of home include a fully-equipped kitchen featuring granite counters and wood flooring, spacious living and dining areas, washer and dryer, multiple televisions including a Sony Hi-Definition TV, a DVD and a balcony featuring ocean or garden views.
