I had spectaular luck once w/ Hilton Head.
Heading someplace else and stopped to check it out.
Found a timeshare that they rent like a hotel when not in use.
2 BR On The Ocean $70.00/night. Right on the ocean. Beach off our patio.
Skip the "name brand" looking ones, go for the non-chain types.
They even handed us a pile of keys & said, go look at each one. You can stay at whatever one you like best.
..Then there was the all-you-can-eat whole lobster or King Crab legs for $19.00/pp.
I'd go back in a heartbeat.
Never did make it to our intended destination.
This was on a whim, like a walk-up rate. Not planned in advance.
