To Rent or Not to Rent- Hilton Head Island Vacation Property

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:23:00 -0400

Not surprisingly, many who vacation on Hilton Head Island eventually decide to buy a home or villa on Hilton Head Island, as a second home to enjoy with family and friends or as a future retirement home. Real estate industry studies show that less than half of those who own beach houses or oceanfront condos purchased their properties with an intent to rent to vacationers. Yet more than 50% of these who do rent their homes are covering at least half their mortgage by renting, according to a 2009 study. If you think you might rent out your Hilton Head Island home, location is very important. Beach houses and condos in Sea Pines (especially those close to Harbourtown), Palmetto Dunes, North and South Forest Beach and Shipyard are very attractive to vacationers. Families who vacation on Hilton Head want to rent homes and condos that are close to the beach, have a pool and are tip top condition. If you're thinking about purchasing property on Hilton Head Island, I can help you assess its potential as a Hilton Head Island vacation rental.

South Beach, Hilton Head Island

I had the pleasure of spending the evening at South Beach Marina,Hilton Head Island SC the other night. It was great! I had my son and 2 other boys with me and we truly enjoyed the live music from the world famous Salty Dog Cafe. We danced in the web-cams and then enjoyed some ice-cream. The shops along South Beach Marina were busy as was the Land's End Tavern restaurant.

There were visitors and locals enjoying the great weather and water views. After our ice-cream, we headed over to the children's playground. My son pointed towards South Beach Club Villas and said "Mom, they are so lucky they can walk here every night". He was right. Even though we live on Hilton Head Island, SC being at South Beach Marina was a fun little getaway. There are several villa complexes that have a convenient South Beach Hilton Head Island location: Bluff Villas, South Beach Club Villas, Sound Villas, Beachside Tennis Villas, and Land's End (which are freestanding townhomes). There are also streets within walking distance and include Oceanfront Homes Hilton Head Island on Black Duck and Brown Pelican.
