Directions to the Condo

Columbus to Hodge Podge Lodge on Hilton Head Island

I-270 to route 33 east. Stay on 33 until it intersects I-77 near Ripley WV. Take I-77 south until it

ends on the SE side of Columbia SC, where it merges into I-26 east. Take I-26 50 miles east

until it intersects I-95. Take I-95 south 78 miles, and then take exit 8, which is marked for Hilton

Head. This is route 278, which will take you into Hilton Head. You'll reach the bridge for Hilton

Head approximately 20 miles after turning onto route 278. Two miles after getting onto the island,

take the Cross Island Parkway (or something named like that), which will by-pass a lot of traffic

and get you over to the Hodge Podge Lodge quicker. After paying the $1 toll, proceed about 1.5

miles until you arrive at a traffic circle. Enter the traffic circle from the left lane and go 270

degrees or 3/4 around the circle, then exit onto Hilton Parkway (278 business route). Turn right at the third light (less than a mile), which is the entry to Shipyard Plantation, and stop at the guard

gate to pick up your pass. Proceed 1/2 mile until you arrive at small circle. Go 180 degrees

(halfway) around the circle and turn into the EVIAN development. Go 2/10 mile, take a left, go

another 2/10 mile, then take a right. Condo #184 (aka Hodge Podge Lodge) is another 2/10 mile

at the end of the cul-de-sac. There are small signs that point you to the condo numbers once you

turn into EVIAN. DRIVE time is 11 hours. That is going 7-10 miles over the speed limit, normal

traffic, and minimal potty breaks, preferably when stopping for gas. Any stops for meals must be

added to that time.
