Friend suggestions: top 5 things to know before traveling to hilton head island

HEATHER’S ADVICE FOR DEALS AND STEALS – 

“Check groupon or living social before your trip – it’s a great way to get discounts on local places on Hilton Head or in Bluffton or for daytrips to Savannah or Charleston. Often times there hot local spots on those sites that you would never find in a visitor magazine.”

BONNIE, LORI, HEATHER AND STARR ON TRAFFIC AND CHECK IN DAY – 

I’m a big believer in the Friday night drive in. What’s this you ask? Avoid the Saturday traffic by driving in part or all the way on Friday. Get an awesome (think beachfront) hotel on Friday night, order some room service and wake up on Saturday refreshed and ready to check into your condo or home for the week. There are tons of budget-conscious hotels in Bluffton/Sun City/Okatie area too that can help solve your Saturday rush hour traffic blues too. Spend all day Saturday by the resort pool, on the beach (much less crowded) or at Honey Horn or at The Sandbox with little kids until your space is available for check in! Many hotels will hold your luggage as you play that afternoon too and plenty of companies deliver everything from strollers to cribs to bikes to your rental unit.  Also, remember that any traffic circle you encounter is a circle…if you miss your turnoff, just keep going – it’ll come around again!
