Hilton Head Home Resort

To those of you with HH as your home resort have you had trouble getting summer reservations at the 11 month window?

We are considering buying a resale and want to make sure we will be able to use those points in the summer.

Thanks so much!

Hilton Head is our home resort. We bought 12-31-00, while we were at WDW. We called to make a reservation for June on our way home 1-02-01, at the Wilderness Lodge Villas and got what we wanted, a studio, for June 17-21. We decided to add on June 16 a couple of weeks ago, and was able to get that also. So we didn't have any problem at the 7 mo. window (actually 6 mos). We did go to Hilton Head in March to check out our home resort. It is very nice, have you been? I know it is hard to get a reservation there in the summer, so the 11mo. window is important if you plan to go there in the summer.
Good luck!!

Since HH has a fairly compact "season", even owners there may eventually find it challenging to get those summer reservations.

When any resort is sold out- the resort theoretically will be filled with point reservations 365 days per year using home points. With the relatively short HH season (March- November....especially June - August), the more desirable dates will be in higher demand by owners- even between 11 and 7 months.

Some non-home ressies will always be available, however, to those who can be flexible, patient and/or lucky! This is true at all DVC resorts. Each has it's own season of "desirability". Enjoy!

Thanks Blue & Doc, for the info.
We have been to HH three times, twice for spring break and once in July. We really enjoy it so plan on buying more points. Our home resort is OKW so it is hard to get reservations for summer. Tried the wait list too, but no luck. With points at HH we should have a better chance.

Blue where do you live in TN?
