HILTON HEAD ISLAND

SAVE ON HILTON HEAD VACATION RENTALS

1. RENT A HILTON HEAD VACATION RENTAL OR CONDO
INSTEAD OF A HOTEL ROOM. Hilton Head vacation rental
prices run slightly higher than hotel rooms, but over a week’s
stay you’ll save big on meal expenses. A family of four can
easily save $25 or more by eating breakfast at the condo and
even more at lunch.

2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO
COST. Three and four bedroom rental homes in Hilton Head
can be rented for approximately the same cost as a nice one-
bedroom condo. Bring along friends or another family to split
the accommodation cost.

3.  VISIT HILTON HEAD BEFORE MEMORIAL WEEKEND OR
AFTER THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST. May and October are
the  best times to visit Hilton Head. During these months the
weather is perfect and the water temperature is warm.

4. CONSIDER RENTING A HILTON HEAD CONDO BY OWNER.
Many condo owners rent by owner, meaning you’ll save an
average of 25%. This is the normal percentage charged by
rental management companies to “rent” individual condos.
Plus, many management companies are now tacking on
additional cleaning fees, extra deposits, etc. The downside to
renting by owner is that most do not accept credit cards and
may not be able to respond quickly to maintenance issues.
There are several reputable websites listing Hilton Head
condos for rent by owner, including www.vrbo.com and www.
greatrentals.com.

5. BRING ALONG BEACH CHAIRS AND AN INEXPENSIVE
UMBRELLA. Umbrella and chairs rentals run $75 and up per
week. The sun is intense and most families need an umbrella
for protection against the sun. Note: Take the umbrella down
every night or you will lose it to the tide or high winds. The same
goes for outdoor tent structures unless they’re staked down
securely.

6. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Several of Hilton
Head’s restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this time
period. Check the local paper and the free newspapers for
special offers and coupons.

7.  CHECK OUT PRICELINE OR HOTWIRE IF YOU NEED A
SHORT-TERM HOTEL ROOM- The 4-star Westin in Hilton Head
is listed on Hotwire. But be careful when bidding or you might
end up in an undesirable area. Check out informational
websites like www.betterbidding.com for information on how to
bid.

8. FILL UP WITH GAS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT HILTON HEAD-
Tourist destinations historically have some of the highest gas
prices in the nation.

9. SHOP FOR BEACH ITEMS AT THE HILTON HEAD WALMART.
From suntan lotion to beach dresses, Walmart offers the best
prices in town.

10. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most Hilton
Head restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their
dinners. Also be aware the wait to get into restaurants at night
during the busy season can be quite long.
