About Vicky & Ted Leavitt

We are Americans who have lived in London since 1999. Our Hilton Head house is our residence in the States that we rent out when we are not there and to maintain the property. Hilton Head is our favorite place in the world, but we do get out and about every once in awhile.

Hilton Head is in our blood. Ted's grandmother came from Bluffton before leaving in 1911 and the relatives owned places like Rose Hill, Victoria Bluff, and Kirk's Bluff (along the May River) back when land was cheap, cheap (1800s - 1960s)

Vicky & Ted Leavitt purchased this house in 1998
Why Vicky & Ted Leavitt chose Sea Pines

Our house has been in the Leavitt family since Ted's father bought the property from Charles Fraser on a hunting trip in the early 1960s. We bought the house in 1998 and then did a complete renovation in order to bring the house up to date. The old beach houses were very open (you had to go outside to the downstairs bedroom!) and we converted it to its present 5-bedroom, 5-bath format, while maintaining the character from the early days of Sea Pines.

What makes this house unique

Having come to Hilton Head since 1962, our house reflects the dichotomy of a modern version of an original Sea Pines beach cottage with the simplicity of beach life. We personally feel the privacy of our setting is a unique benefit, but each person will have their own viewpoint.

Our stay was exceptional. The house was very comfortable, the weather was phenomenal, and the proximity to the beach was unbelievable. What a little piece of heaven! We are definitely interested in making this our "open football weekend" getaway!

Hilton Head Island's Hidden Gem

Hilton Head Island's Hidden Gem
5 of 5
Submitted: September 15, 2010 Stayed: August 2010
We have had a yearly family reunion on Hilton Head Island (HHI) since 1994. This home is what my family and I have been looking for since our first trip to the island 16 years ago. Everything about this place reminds you of why you make the annual pilgrimage to the coast - relaxation. This front row home is everything you want it to be without the extravagant excess of other homes on the island. I say this to stress the importance of my next point. This is the most at home I have felt in a vacation home - period.

I wouldn't change a single thing about this home. The home's private beach access, excellent upper level deck for beach gazing, and amazing pool (for volleyball) is all top notch. The listing as well as the photos of this place cannot do it justice. Far better in person. For an original home it was extremely clean and well maintained. I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone who wants a true HHI vacation experience. This will be the first home I look at when planning my future HHI family reunions.

22 Black Skimmer: Ideal site for reaxing vacation .

5 of 5
Submitted: July 7, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Sea Pines and loved 22 Black Skimmer. My wife and I, two adult children and their spouses, and four grandchildren ( two teenagers and two under 3) stayed here. Perfect setup for this group, allowing privacy for all three families. . Our beach access and pool were also ideal for informal family living. Breathtaking ocean views and sunsets. Biking distance to everything on our rental bikes. Crabs and sea turtles provide excitement. Our second time at Sea Pines but there is still much left to explore. We can't wait to come back. Owner helpful from the start .Management cheerful. responsive and professional. Overall, we could not have had a nicer experience.

22 Black Skimmer has been my dream vacation home for many summers. The spacious deck overlooking the ocean is perfect for the morning cup of coffee and the evening glass of wine. Much warmth has been felt by our three generations now for 10 years. We lost our "Papa" several years ago, but we can still feel his presence because he loved it so. Last summer this house stood silent witness as one of our granddaughters became engaged. We love everything about it. It's a FAMILY home.

This house is awesome. It has plenty of room inside
and out for all large groups. The location to the sea,
tennis, golf and dining is the best. I would truly
recommend this house to everyone. It was a pleasure
working with the owner in planning this vacation stay.

The beach house at 22 Black Skimmer Rd. in Hilton Head turned out to be an excellent choice for our annual autumn golf trip. The beach house is well located being a beach front property that offers great views and easy access to the beach. The house was clean and had all of the ammenities for the group of six golfers. We are very interested in making this beach house our annual destination. Great Place!

We LOVE this home! Our family group of 8-10 has been spending one to two weeks in the spring at 22 Black Skimmer since 2005 and look forward to returning each year. Mr. Leavitt is great to work with, friendly and very accommodating, and the house is great - tons of room for all of us inside and out and plenty of amenities. Very comfortable, great ocean front home, nice pool/yard area and plenty of parking. We would be hard pressed to find a place we like better, and we've been coming to Hilton Head since 1978!

"We discovered this house several years ago when we did a large family vacation. Not all of us could stay there but this home was our gathering place. The Kitchen is wonderful... the front porch is wonderful and is the gathering place every morning and evening. Since we first discovered this place I have gone back with friends, my brother has gone back with his family and we are going again. It is always the first house we check when we decide on the week."
