When you plan for vacation, choosing where to stay is a major decision. For visitors to the Carolina Coast, finding the right lodging begins with choosing between rental property and hotels. A major vacation destination, Hilton Head has both, and both have their appeal. To make the right choice, it helps to look at rental properties and hotels from a vacationer’s perspective, starting with what most vacationers consider first: price.
Price difference
Most rental properties are more affordable than comparable hotels, because (a) they have lower overhead, and (b) their price is based on longer rental periods—usually weeks—which results in lower cost per day than a hotel stay. Rental property is also more affordable because, unlike hotels, much of it is privately owned, and not subject to corporate interest.
Service difference
Most vacation property in Hilton Head lacks the service amenities that some travelers crave, such as room service, bar service, and a built in restaurant. Instead of relying on hotel service, vacationers stock rental properties with food and drinks as they would do their own home. Some travelers prefer this arrangement because it saves money and creates a home dining atmosphere.
Privacy difference
Most rental properties are more private than hotel rooms because (a) less people are concentrated in a given area, and (b) their ambience is one of quietude and privacy. Finding the privacy in a hotel room that you naturally find in a rental property usually requires renting a suite in an elite hotel.
Pet friendliness
For travelers who bring their dog on vacation, finding dog friendly travel accommodations can be difficult, especially among hotels. Finding rental properties that accept pets can be difficult too, but Palmetto Sands Vacation Rentals offers pet friendly properties with the same amenities as other properties.
Comfort level
Hotels can be comfortable, but not in the way that rental properties can. And they’re most definitely more cramped, especially with a family. Unlike most hotel rooms, rental properties have the square footage of an apartment or house. Though you might think your lodging will only be for showering and sleep, the fact remains: most vacationers relax in their lodging between activities, and that makes a vacation property in Hilton Head much more desirable than hotel rooms.
Romance factor
With its beautiful weather, scenic shorelines, and relaxed atmosphere, Hilton Head is great for a romantic getaway. But where you stay could affect whether you feel intimate, or simply annoyed. For romantic getaways, ideal lodging is accommodations that offer privacy, intimacy and great views. In Hilton Head, these features are found far more often in rental properties than hotels.
