Thank you Easter Bunny!
Big weekend coming up at DeBordieu!
From Breakfast with the Easter Bunny & Easter Egg Hunt, to the Sunrise Service & fabulous Easter Buffet, DeBordieu owners and their guests are sure to enjoy what has become one of the most special holiday weekends at DeBordieu!
As I was writing this, I started wondering how a egg-laying bunny got associated with the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. So I googled it. Here's what I found....I found it very interesting and thought you might too: CLICK HERE to read the article.
All the fun at DeBordieu begins Saturday morning at the Golf Clubhouse. I understand there still a couple of spots open for Breakfast with that Bunny. The delicious menu features an Omelet Station, Bacon, Sausage, Biscuits & Gravy, Scrambled Eggs, Grits, French Toast, Home Fries, Pastries and Fresh Fruit.
The Easter egg hunt will begin promptly at 10:30 AM in the Courtyard behind the Golf Clubhouse. Don’t forget to bring your own basket!
Hitting the Beach Saturday? Plan to enjoy "DOGS ON THE DECK!" at the ocean front beach club: Hotdogs, chips and soft drinks will be available.
The traditional Easter Sunrise Service starts at 6:30 AM at the Beach Club with Rick Richardson, Lay Speaker at Duncan United Methodist Church. Watching that sun come up over the Atlantic on an occasion as special as Easter is truly a spiritual experience.
Sunday afternoon, the Easter Buffet will include a variety of selections from the Chef including Soup and Salad Bar, Assorted Breads and Rolls, Salmon, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Grits, Shrimp with Tasso Gravy, Roasted Baby Vegetables, Macaroni & Cheese, Rice Pilaf, Potatoes au Gratin, Chicken Marsala, Bourbon Glazed Ham, Prime Rib with Au Jus and Assorted Desserts. Please call (843) 546-2410 for reservations and specify which room you would prefer to dine in: In the Sunroom and Dining Room jackets are required. You may also choose the Grill Room, Parlor or Colony Room.
For more information about the festivities and available reservations, call (843)546-2410, but you might want to call very quickly! There are only a few spots left.

Got Porch?

Screened Porches are a wonderful way to enjoy the great outdoors at DeBordieu, the private, gated, oceanfront golf community just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

Not only do they provide extra living space for you to enhance your lifestyle, but they also protect you from those nasty little flying creatures we have sometimes in the Lowcountry.

Sip your morning coffee, lounge in the hammock, watch the kids play in the back yard, or dine with friends via candlelight. Some porches even include an outside kitchen area for grilling.

For added comfort and ambiance, some feature a fireplace for those cool evenings in the Fall and Winter, and ceiling fans for enhanced enjoyment in the Spring and Summer.

Other added features include recessed lighting and wet bars.

The screened porches pictured on this page have truly become extensions of the homes' living areas. To view those living areas, click on the picture of the porch and you'll be linked to information about the house and a virtual tour.

One of Pete Dye's Favorites!

DeBordieu's #12 It's the large lake that makes Hole #12 so challenging, and so beautiful! It's the fact that DeBordieu is the only truly private golf club in the Pawleys Island area that makes the real estate that surrounds Hole #12 so valueable.

Keep this in mind while playing: "This hole is one of Pete Dye’s favorite holes. Although it’s a relatively straight, short par four, you may want to use an iron off the tee on this blind drive. Stay right as you cross the water, as numerous mounds dot the left edge of the fairway, and will obscure your view of the green if your ball winds up over there. A large lake, bulk-headed up against the rear of the green, and several deep bunkers in front make club selection all important on the hole."

One of my favorite listings on the golf course at DeBordieu will greet you as you begin to play #12. Topping the list of things I like about it most, is the spectacular view of the lake and golf course. But I also like the ground floor apartment or mother-in-law suite, the soaring, vaulted ceiling in the living room, and the open kitchen.

Azaleas, Camelias and Roses....Oh My!

With the azaleas in full bloom at DeBordieu, I went out yest

erday to take some pictures of some of our homes currently on the market. By chance I ran into Mr. Don Mabe, who invited me to take a look at his garden. Mr. Mabe’s home is at the end of a beautiful cul-de-sac in the DeBordieu Golf Course community.

Being the wise businessman he is, (former CEO of Perdue Chicken), Mr. Mabe had the foresight to also purchase the lot next door, both of which back up to a nice big pond, and are loaded with gorgeous Live Oaks.

He started creating his garden 16 years ago. Today, with Mr. Mabe’s hard work and tender loving care, it looks absolutely magical. He had some expert advice along the way from Mr. Bobby Mottern of Brookgreen Gardens, and Mr. Neal Cox of Arcadia Plantation, for which he is extremely grateful.

The variety of azaleas in his garden range from Formosas, and George L. Tabers, to beautiful Naturals. But that’s not all. Because we had such a cold winter this year, the

camellias were delayed in blooming. So right now, they are blooming right alongside the Azaleas! The camellias range from Premium Cs and Lemon Glows to the Mary Alice Cox Camelia named for Mr. Cox’s wife. In addition, the Lady Banks Roses delicately dangling from the tree branches, and the Confederate Jasmine climbing the tree trunks made for a truly memorable experience. And some really great pictures! Mr. Mabe's home, and garden, are not for sale, however, there are some other beautiful properties available.

I’m so proud of him!!!!!

DeBordieu Golf, Hole #11, par 5

Just south of Pawleys Island, SC, DeBordieu is the only truly private golf course in the area. It's a magnificent Pete Dye design. Here’s a few tips to consider while playing #11:

“Try to fade your drive past the lone bunker on the right side of the doglegging hole. Once past the bend, you have a straight shot to the green, which is long, narrow, and undulating, On the last 100 yards of the fairway to the left looms a formidable natural area. Keep your second shot to the right and you’ll be in fine shape for a pitch and run onto the green. As usual, an approach hit long, right, or left will necessitate the use of a wedge for retrieval. “

Me? A "Tech-Savvy" Realtor? I worked with some really nice folks last week who will soon be new full-time residents of DeBordieu, the private oceanfront, gated golf community just south of Pawleys Island, SC.

They contacted me out of the blue because repeatedly, when they Googled DeBordieu, my name kept popping up. Facebook, Twitter, this blog you’re reading…..it is all improving my SEO (that would be “Search Engine Optimization” for those of you who aren’t quite as tech savvy as I, LOL….aaaaand that would be “Laugh Out Loud”).

Meanwhile….last week, it was April Fools Day. So I played a little joke on my boss, telling him that I, being the “Tech Savvy Agent” I am, was fielding multiple offers from real estate marketing firms because I had been recognized as a leader in social networking and blogging. As the color drained from his face, I realized that I couldn’t let that go on for long, so I fessed up. (I’m not going anywhere….I love where I work….and the folks I work with.)

I also love learning, particularly when it comes to new ways to communicate. Some business professionals my age, (53, and proud of it, thank you) are refusing to embrace all this new technology thinking it will be a passing fad. I think not. I think that if it is appropriately integrated into the overall strategy, it can enhance not only marketing plans, but one-on-one communication that is so vital in the real estate business. It will never take the place of face to face meetings, or ………THE PHONE CALL, but it’s here to stay and I am really enjoying it!

If you haven’t connected with me on Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin, please do by clicking on the links.

I would like to friend, follow and network with you too!

Middle Aged Texting As a realtor, I need to keep up with all of the gazillion new ways of communicating. One of my favorites is text messaging, which if did not do, I could never communicate to my teenagers, who don’t even answer the phone any more, but they will respond to a text immediately. Some of my clients enjoy the convenience of texting as well. In fact, one of them sent me a hysterical email this morning that gave new meaning to some of the abbreviated codes used in text messaging: MIDDLE AGE TEXTING CODES: ATD -at the doctor. BFF -best friend fell. BTW -bring the wheelchair. BYOT -bring your own teeth. FWIW -forgot where I was. GGPBL -gotta go, pacemaker battery low. GHA -got heartburn again. IMHO -is my hearing aid on? LMDO -laughing my dentures out. OMMR -on my massage recliner. OMSG -oh my! sorry, gas. ROFLA...CGU -rolling on floor laughing and can't get up. TTYL -talk to you louder. BTW (that would be…”By The Way”) this is my client’s house pictured in this blog entry. Please thank her by clicking on the picture of her house, and taking a little virtual tour. It’s one of the best values on the market at DeBordieu! And it has a POOL. There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu!
