Suggestions on a HHI House?

[jadeash911]

Ok, ladies I need some assistance in the Hilton Head area. I'm planning a small wedding (30 guests) and would like to rent a house for the wedding weekend. Not all the guests would be staying in the house, just the wedding party (need 6 bedrooms). I'd like to have the ceremony on the beach, and then just walk up to the house for the reception.

 

Any ideas? The one vacation rental I fell in love with online does not allow wedding receptions. (No sure how they would know, but my FI spilled the beans already!) The house owner was concerned that our party would be larger than 30. Not possible. We're coming from Ohio, Indiana, TX, Chicago, AZ, and CA, but we don't know anyone in SC. Not likely we'll have any wedding crashers!

 

Just wondering if there are any local gals on this forum who can make a suggestion, or any brides who have had luck renting a house in the area. I appreciate any help you can offer!!

I am not a local, but we do vacation on HHI sometimes & my first stop to look for rentals (anywhere for that matter) is VRBO is Vacation Rentals By Owner. I'm not sure if you've tried this site, but they are actually rentals by owner & usually you can get a better deal than through a rental agency b/c you cut out the middle man. Also, b/c you're dealing with the owners directly they might be more lenient on the rules of having a wedding on the property. Just a thought; good luck in your search!!

Love SC! I was just at Fripp Island, beautiful small private island with many rentals. Once you are on the island all you need is a golf cart to get around. I am actually looking into it for my wedding.
