Renting A Beach House For The Ultimate Family Beach Vacation

Imagine the sound of seagulls as you walk onto the beach, your toes sinking into the sand with every step you take. The sun is high in the sky and you breathe in the fresh, salty ocean air. The warm breeze cools your skin as you run into the waves of the seemingly endless ocean. You are where you had longed to be. Your vacation has just begun, and your family is ready to relax and enjoy the ultimate family holiday.

Rental of a large beach house

You have chosen one of the 10 best vacation destinations in the United States – Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. There are over 50 miles of nature and bike trails and 12 miles of beach, and aside from a few private areas, all are open to the public.

What is more, by choosing from a large selection of Hilton Head Island Vacation Rentals, you’ve gained many advantages. You and your friends and/or family can enjoy luxury living at a top-dollar resort for less when the cost is shared amongst all vacationers. You’ll have more room, access to all property amenities, and be able to cook meals for everyone right in your own kitchen or patio grill. Your property rental company can answer any questions one may have about their properties, and the surrounding area.

With a private pool and six bedrooms, it was easy to get some of your closest friends and family to come along to share the cost. Now you’ll all have extra money to spend enjoying yourselves – going to restaurants, parasailing, surfing, waterskiing, jet skiing, sailing, tours, kayaking, a sunset cruise, watching dolphins and so much more. Since there are so many biking trails and the beaches are firm, it may be worth your while to get the exercise and check out the area on a bike, which can be brought from home or rented from one of the many rental companies on the island. Other popular activities are golfing, tennis, fishing, and, of course, swimming and playing in the ocean.

Plan ahead of time

Do not forget, for the ultimate family vacation, you must be plan ahead of time. How far ahead is determined by the amount of money you can spend. If you work, then you need to get the time off. About three to six months in advance is a good timeframe to begin researching where you want to go and what it will cost. Moreover, you need to decide who is going to go, what you want to do as a group, and what activities you may want to split off to do as families or couples. A meeting with all who plan to go would be ideal.

That all said, the time of year you will stay can be looked up online, and it will be cheaper some months due to cold weather. Making reservations ahead of time is smart, especially for summer months as they go fast. Start with looking at what you want, not what you can afford, as these rentals will only cost a couple about $500 if shared. It might be even less if you can get discounts or more people. Once all your money for a deposit/payment is collected, then actually book it. Do some research to find out great sightseeing destinations and find some good restaurants. It will be nice to know of some things ahead of time so you can just head there and not waste time trying to decide where to go. Some days, however, it is fun just to take off and see where you end up.

By all means, packing can be much easier if one makes a list and copies it for everyone else. Make the list, check items on it after packing, and, mark off what is ready. This list can help when leaving the holiday to check if everything was accounted for. When packing, remember to roll up any clothing so it will not take up much room and so it will not wrinkle. – Travel Feeder
