    What are lock-offs? And dedicated rooms?

    A lockoff is a one bedroom that is connected to a studio with a door in between, they can be used as a 2 bedroom if need be. We get the lockoff when we bring friends, we take the one bedroom and they take the studio and we just open the door between them during the day. Points used would be for...

    OKW without a car?

    We just came back from staying at OKW for 8 days without a car. We stayed in the turtle pond rd. area. When we needed to go to HH we jumped on any bus that came since the last stop was always at HH. When going back to the room we walked over to the first bus stop across from HH and took that...

    SSR- is the bus service really that bad?

    Guess it depends on the time of year too, this is my home resort and when we go in Feb., the wait is only about 10 mins between buses. Also depends if there are wheelchairs or scooters that need to get on and off, this could delay a bus.

    Need 4 rooms, only enough points for 3

    Friday and Saturday are always more points so you could always pay cash for one or both nights and free up some points that way. I have done this with family members traveling with us and they have paid for the cash night(s). Then everything can be linked after its all booked. They run cash...

    Compare cash vs. points

    I recently have been booking weekdays with points and because Fri. and Sat. are usually alot more points, sometimes it is cheaper to book one or both of those days on cash.

    Closed yesterday! What are the chances points will be loaded by 10/31?

    I recently closed on a resale with the same use year, after it went through ROFR, I had the owners bank the points before ownership was transferred to me. Once the ownership was mine, I had my points in about 10 days. Was told you get them quicker if you already have the same use year as your...

    Hilton head experts...

    If you can't find a place at the resort, you could always drive to Savannah, there are some great scenic squares all over town and its only about an hour drive from the resort.
