Vrbo Hilton Head Vacation Rentals

There are positives and negatives to any location you might consider booking in Hilton Head. Let’s take a closer look at some of the Pros for renting through Vrbo.

Saving Money

Ahh, yes, money! One of the main reasons for using Vacation Rental services is to get the most for what you are paying for. While it is not a guarantee that Renting through Vrbo will save you money, getting a home, villa, or condo with multiple bedrooms and a kitchen will likely save you money over staying in a local hotel or resort. Having extra space to move around and separate bedrooms for everyone is a huge benefit. Add in a full kitchen and laundry (in many of the vacation rentals) and it is like staying in a second home. Cooking some of your own meals can also cut down on the cost of your stay substantially.

Nice Accommodations

It is very important to understand that booking a rental through Vrbo does not guarantee a great stay or nice accommodations. This is where you have to do some research. Not all properties are the same in Hilton Head. Look at the pictures closely and ask questions along the way. Find out when updates have been done and if the pictures are up to date and show the property in its current condition. Also, READ the REVIEWS of guests who have stayed in this property. You can gain a lot of insight just by reading the reviews. Taking the time to look at multiple properties and after reading plenty of reviews, you should be able to narrow your choices down. How nice the accommodations are, is up to you to find but there are plenty of great properties to choose from.

Great Hosts

Finding a great host when booking a Vacation Rentals in Hilton Head Island is very important. While many of the hosts are wonderful and take great time and care to make sure your stay is great, there are also some that are not as good. Looking at the pictures of the property can give you a good idea if the host is keeping things up to date. Again, reading the REVIEWS of previous guests will help you see if problems are attended to if they happen to arise. Hilton Head Island is one of those amazing vacation spots that you visit over and over again. Hosts who understand this will want to build a lasting relationship with people who rent from them. It works better for them and it works better for you when this happens. So, take some time, dig in and find that perfect Vrbo Hilton Head Vacation Rental.

Read the Reviews

Have you noticed a trend here? Reading the reviews can help you find the best Vacation Rentals using Vrbo. These reflections can also help you weed out the ones you do not want to consider.

Of course, if you are looking a reasons to use Vrbo to get your next Vacation Rental in Hilton Head, we also need to look at any negatives of going in this direction. Let’s take a look at some of the Cons for getting a vacation rental.

It generally takes more time

Let’s face it, booking a hotel room is pretty straightforward. A room, suite, or villa is going to feel the same in the big Hotel Chains no matter where you stay. When you are booking a Vacation Rental through Vrbo, every place is different. Because of this, it is in your best interest to take some time to find just the right place to stay. There are thousands of homes, villas, and condos on Hilton Head Island to choose from. The filters in Vrbo will most definitely help you with your selection but weeding out the good from the no so good, takes time. Read plenty of reviews, ask the owner questions, look at the pictures, and find that perfect place for your next Hilton Head vacation.

Getting the dates you want

Here is a little tip, start with the dates you are interested in when looking for a rental. There is nothing more frustrating than to find that “perfect vacation rental” only to find out it is not available on the date you are visiting. Once you have the date set, Vrbo will filter out the properties that are not available during that time period. When looking at vacation rentals through Vrbo, start looking many months (even a year) in advance. This will give you the best selection and put you on the road to getting that great vacation rental you want.

Not all Hosts are the same

As mentioned in the Pros section, many hosts are fantastic and want to build a relationship with the guests who stay at their property. This is not always the case though when you are getting a vacation rental. Hosts can be very different and you want to find a host who is attentive if there is a problem but does not bother you during your stay. Also, a poor host does not always keep up with the property as well as the great hosts. Reading the REVIEWS will help you discern between the good and poor hosts.

Reviews do not always paint the best picture

It is tough to place so much on other guest reviews. Many guests will not want to put down negatives because they feel bad. Others will leave out anything positive if they had one thing go wrong during their trip. It is best to read as many reviews as possible to get a better overview of how people feel about the property before booking your stay.

Watch out for the additional fees

The price you see on the main screen is not the overall price you will pay for your rental. Once you find the perfect property, you can go through the steps to find the overall price for your stay. Additional fees like, cleaning or pet fees will increase the overall costs. Understanding these fees will help you to determine the best vacation rental for your next stay.
