If you, like many others, are pondering over what you should do for that special someone this Valentine’s Day, we have a great suggestion that could help you score some serious relationship points! That’s right, forego the flowers and think amazing sunsets, walks on the beach, exquisite dining, and luxurious, inviting accommodations.

Nothing conjures romance like a resort island destination and one such as Hilton Head Island will be sure to win over the affections and adoration of your Valentine.  Imagine a day spent letting the time take you where it may, free of schedules and demands, a moment to enjoy the sights and sounds of the island from that first cup of coffee to the evening sunset as the sun disappears into the ocean.  During the day, take advantage of the many activities the island has to offer.  Walk the beach, visit Honey Horn Plantation for a look at the Island’s history and ecosystem, treat yourself to an evening at the Coastal Carolina Art Center with a performance of Lend Me A Tenor, or enjoy one of the many local restaurants serving up the finest in local seafood or ethnic specialties.

February is a beautiful time to enjoy everything Hilton Head has to offer.  However you choose to spend your day, one thing is certain, the memories you make will long outlast that box of chocolates and withered bouquet.

Fall is always an exciting time of year for us here in the office. Not only do we get to take the time to visit all 280 Hilton Head vacation rentals that we represent, but it is also when many new properties and owners join our program.  Every day we are excited to learn about our new rental properties.  It’s like getting a present.  Who will get to go see it first?   It is a prized role—being the person everyone gathers around as they describe the pool, the gourmet kitchen, and other special amenities the vacation rental can offer our guests.

It may seem silly, but we love what we do and a new property is exciting to us, each and every home or villa has unique

features.  We always try to match those features to our guests needs – helping make the perfect Hilton Head vacation a possibility!

Take, for example, the newest addition to our program: 26 West Beach Lagoon. What a buzz it has created in our office!  The home is located in Sea Pines just down the road from the Sea Pines Beach Club.  This 5 bedroom, 4 bath home, has tons of character and in a great location, just third row from the ocean!  Not only is it close to the beach, but it also has a great view of the Ocean Course Golf Links, blending the best of both worlds!  The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances, including a double oven, and the spacious living area is open and bright.  To us, this home is a hidden gem in Sea Pines.  In fact, we already have a couple of guests looking at it for next year!

Hilton Head Island is a wonderful place all year round, and even if you can’t live here full time, there is another

option! Have you saved up all of your vacation time, or you just want to get away for a month? Well, why not rent a home or villa? I bet you didn’t know that you can rent a home or villa for an entire month during the fall and winter for the price of a week during the summer months! It’s definitely a steal, and there may even be some great specials on our website to look for also!

Think of this, lying on the beach reading a great novel, or even taking a nap on the beach with the cool breeze ruffling your hair and the bath water temperature ocean lapping at your feet. You will be so relaxed that you will come out of this long vacation a new person, calm and collected and recharged. That month of relaxation in one of our beautiful homes or villas will be a month you will never forget. Not only will you be able to go to the beach and enjoy the wonderful weather, but you will also get to be a part of many of the festivals and events that happen on Hilton Head Island every year.

During the month of September, join hundreds of people in celebration of fall with oyster roasts, crab cracking events, and the Italian Heritage Festival plus more. In October, the excitement really takes off with a Chili Cook-off hosted by the Hilton Head Kiwanis Chapter, a wonderful Cajun Festival that will be held at Shelter Cove Community Park clad with a crawfish eating contest! Now if that’s not southern fun, then I don’t know what is!

You see, summer isn’t the only time to go on a fantastic vacation, the fall months is the best time to come when you want to take an extended vacation, whether you’re retired and want to spend a month or two at the beach, or if you have extra vacation time building up, or even if you just want to come and get away from the everyday happenings of life. So come to Hilton head during the fall and have as much fun as you would during the summer. Even if you aren’t able to stay for an entire month, we have weekly Hilton Head vacation rentals available as well, and you will still have just as much fun.

Hilton Head Island, SC has over 11 miles of white sandy beached for you to enjoy!

It was recently announced that Fox News has named Hilton Head Island, SC as the best beach in the U.S.A. And we couldn’t agree more!!! For years we have talked about the 11 miles of beautiful white sand, the quiet and relaxed atmosphere and the number of water activities you can enjoy while on the Island. It is great to learn that others agree with us.

We would like to invite you to join us! Even though the summer is almost over, our beach is perfect for a Fall getaway. Besides the time you can spend relaxing by the ocean, we have a number of festivals and activities to fill your time with us.

Our guests often ask us about the benefits of making their vacation rental reservation a year in advance. There are numerous benefits in doing this, but we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a couple of them here.

1. Secure your perfect property before someone else does.  Have you found the vacation home or villa that perfectly matches the needs of your family? Sometimes it can be difficult to make sure that you can get that same place each year if you wait too long. By placing your reservation early, the perfect vacation rental will be yours!!

2. Don’t have your vacation funds in place yet? That’s OK – it only takes a $250 deposit to place your reservation. The remainder of the normal 40% prepayment will be due about 5-6 months before your arrival, and as always, the final payment is still due 30 days before your arrival.

3. Hoping for a good deal if you wait?  While sometimes a good deal can be found, will it be in the vacation home or villa that you love? Will the vacation home, villa or condo you rent match the needs of your traveling party? By securing your vacation rental this year, you will have a “good deal” more choices. 

Whatever the reason, Beach Properties of Hilton Head is ready to help you make your 2011 reservation. Please call one of our Vacation Planners today at 1-800-671-5155, or book online 24 hours a day/7 days a week!!!
