Where to stay with 3 kids...watersport activities?????

We are thinking about going to HH in July. Would like to find a great hotel in a good location. Seems like people have stayed at the Hilton for less than $150.00 a night if they book through hotwire.com. Am interested in renting bikes, maybe mopeds for my husband and me. would like to take the kids for an airboat ride. Renting a waverunner sound like fun also. Want to make sure the kids have fun. Also thought of going to Charleston for the day. What hotel would you sugest? Any other activites?

Thanks in advance...Linda

We stayed at the Hilton Oceanfront Resort in December last year. It was a GREAT resort, right on the beach. The beds were ';heavenly'; and there was a full size washer/dryer in the unit and a kitchenette with bar fridge and sink, microwave and dinette. Very large room. We booked it through Hotwire.com and only paid $69.00 a night. It is rated at 3 1/2 stars on Hotwire and it%26#39;s description is Resort/Beachfront/Oceanfront. They don%26#39;t tell you what hotel you booked until after you hit ';confirm';, but if you get a good deal, you can%26#39;t go wrong with the price. The 4 star will probably be wonderful too. It%26#39;s listed as ';customer favourite'; and is probably the Westin. You can also try onetime.com and compare a few at a time. WE loved HH and are going for March breakk with year but splitting on a villa with two other families.

We ate at Wreck of the Salty Dog and it was really cheap at happy hour.

Hope this helps,

Renting bikes is a must IMO. I don%26#39;t think you can rent mopeds on HHI, but maybe you can..In the 12 years my family and I have been vacationing there, I never noticed mopeds.

We have 3 kids as well, and IMO I would rent a timeshare in either Shipyard or Sea Pines if I were you. You could find a 3-bedroom in July for probably $1300 for the week. The nice thing with the timeshare is you can eat in on occasion. All will have pools, usually at least 2 bikes included, grills, some will have golf packages, tennis, and most are very close to the beach.
