Low-Key Living Awaits on Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island, located four hours from Charlotte in the South Carolina low country, offers families opportunities to relax seaside along with fun excursions to keep all ages busy on and off the sand. Wide, flat swaths of sand that meet gentle waves and tide pools make it the perfect family beach for relaxing, running, playing games, flying kites and swimming.
Resorts are plentiful on the island, as are house and condo rentals, tucked under oaks dripping in Spanish moss. The Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island was ideal for my family of four. Located in Shipyard Plantation, its oceanfront location makes it easy to dash from the well-appointed room to the beach and then back for a quick dip in the zero-entry pool — a great thing for parents with preschoolers. On cool days the hot tub, which is located by a second smaller pool, is inviting as well.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
