Waitlist for HH in June

[Erineliza38]

Ok, I need brutally honest feedback. Do I have any real chance of getting a two bedroom villa for late June in Hilton Head? I waitlisted today- but obviously knowing I am trying to get reservations so late- am thinking it might be nearly impossible. Thoughts?

I can't help with your question, but I'd be interested in knowing if any studios might open up any time during July.

We waitlisted for a July studio as well. I'm crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath! I'm interested in replies to this as well, since we are new to all of this.

With the dynamics of the DVC reservation system, cancellations occur frequently - especially for the onsite resorts.

At HH there are likely to be fewer changes to travel plans, especially for reservations within the next 3-4 months just because of the small size of the resort and the fact that are not many cases of members switching resorts (after having made a reservation at 11 months at their home resort).

That being said, the real answer lies at MS and will depend on where you are on the waitlist. 2BR villas are the most plentiful and are most likely to have cancellations. There are only 21 Studios and 1BRs at the resort and those are less probable to become available (but it still can happen). There are 76 dedicated 2BRs, 21 lock-off 2BRs (these are usually only reserved as Studios and 1BRs unless a 2BR HCA villa is needed) and 5 GVs. Maximum total reservable villas is 123.

Many have reported finding availability right at 7 months, but as time gets closer to arrival, the chances for waitlist openings will diminish for all villa-types.

Good luck! Anything is possible!

Hopefully something will open up for you. As mentioned you have a much better chance of getting a 2BR than a smaller unit. We tried for several years to book a 1BR unit for June-August at the 7 month mark and never had any luck so we eventually added on at HHI so we could start booking at 11 months.
