A friend and I stayed a week at Swallowtail at Sea Pines. We booked the week through Interval International using my timeshare points. Technically, check-in was on a Friday, but arriving on Saturday with no problem (we just lost a day of the reserved week).

The units are two-story condos w attractive modern design (which I like but is starting to feel just a tad dated). The bedroom on the first level has two twin beds. The second floor king bed suite has a very very large bathroom with soaking tub (not whirlpool tub). The second floor sitting area has a sofa bed. The kitchen is well-stocked with appliances and utensils/gadgets, including dishwasher and washer and dryer. The open dining living area has a deck outside overlooking a pond with turtles and other wildlife. The dining table seats at least six. There is wireless Internet access in each unit, and the tv has excellent selection of channels. There is a pool and shuffleboard on site. There is a storage area outside in front of each unit, which is a good place to store bicycles securely. Short walk or bicycle ride to Harbour Town. Across from Sea Pines bike paths. Since the condos are in Sea Pines, guests have Sea Pines vehicle passes and can come and go into the resort without paying a fee. Entering Sea Pines plantation, you must detour through the welcome center drive-through and pick up your vehicle pass for the week, and then check in at the Harbour Town Yacht Club office.
