Free Wireless Internet

In this campaign season, “free wireless internet in every vacation home” may sound like some presidential hopeful’s slogan (“a chicken in ever pot, a car in every garage” – Herbert Hoover, 1928). But the fact is, every vacation home or villa we offer has gone high-speed wireless. And it’s all yours – free.

You’ve probably been to hotels that advertise “internet access available,” then you come to find out it’s “available” for $7.95 a day and it might not even be wireless! (This recently happened to us at a place where we were paying $200 a night for lodging). We hate that nickle and dime stuff. That’s why our internet access is absolutely free.

While we might suggest you leave your laptop or PDAs behind and simply enjoy the sunshine, fairways and beach, we also know it’s tough to be out of “e-touch” in this instant access world. If you’d like to know how to set up a vacation auto response in Windows Mail or Outlook Express, click here.

However, if you need keep tabs on the office, schoolwork, the stock market or your kids, you’ll stay connected at any Vacation Company property you choose.

One of the more creative uses of the free internet access we’ve heard so far is a golfer putting a video of his swing up on YouTube so his teaching pro, back at the golfer’s club in Ohio, could see it and tell him what he was doing wrong. We did not hear how well our guest play the next day.

It’s definitely golf season on Hilton Head Island. Come see us. And bring your Blackberry.
