Honeymoon at future MIL's condo in Hilton Head Island, SC (she wouldn't be there)

So my future mother-in-law lives in a private gated community in Hilton Head Island, SC right off the beach. She offered to let us use her condo and stay up near where we live with her daughter while we are at her house. We wouldn't have to pay for anything and she said we can even use her car to make any day trips we want. I like that we wouldn't have to pay but I am a little freaked out by the fact that we would have to sleep in her bed. Is the awkwardness of that worth it or should we just go on the $1200 cruise to the Caribbean? Budget is important because we are paying for almost everything ourselves. Help?

    I would be uncomfortable with this arrangement because it's not like she'll be out if town, she's just vacating her home so you two can hang out there. I'd go on the cruise.

    We actually live 12 hours away by car, so she will be out of town.

    I would be weirded out by it, but I'm sure she knows what happens during "honeymoons". I guess that's what makes me even less comfortable about it. o.O Have you looked into like getting a cabin in the mountains of Gatlinburg, TN. I live in TN and we still go there. It is beautiful and very affordable.

    Does she have a guest room with a bed or is hers the only bed in the house? I would be weirded out.

    There are a lot of affordable hotels in Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach so you don't necessarily have to spend $1200 on a cruise, you could find a middle ground.

    My parents have a beach house and I have no problem going down there and sometimes having to sleep in their room.    However, it's not their primary home.  It would be weird to stay at my parent's primary home in their room at anytime, let alone my HM.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I LOVE HHI! My parents have a condo in a gated community on the beach too.  Do you know the name of the community?  I would most likely feel weird staying in her bed, especially if you plan on getting intimate.. can't imagine doing that in my parents bed haha!! BUT- if she has a guest room, I would totally take her up on the offer!

    I don't remember exactly what the place is called. There is a second room that we could sleep in but it has a twin size bed I think.
