Eight Steps to Planning Your 2024 Beach Vacation

Now that the holidays are behind us, it is time to think about summer. If your vacation plans include a visit to the beach, we have you covered. Life on the South Carolina coast offers natural beauty, pleasant weather and incredible vacation rentals. It’s the perfect place to relax and recharge. So here are some handy-dandy tips to help you prepare for your next big getaway.

 

1. Choose a family-friendly destination. You want your visit to the Hammock Coast to be memorable and worry free. We want that, too. Our beach communities are laid-back and friendly, with the quaint feel of a bygone era. 

2. Book accommodations. We offer prime properties in Pawleys Island and Litchfield Beach. Our rentals range from one-bedroom condos to seven-bedroom beach houses. Our team wants to make you feel at home, so our properties have everything you need for a comfortable stay. And we make it easy to book online. 

 

3. Determine your budget. If it’s tight, take advantage of our fully-equipped kitchens by preparing meals there. Groceries Ahead can stock your pantry and fridge prior to your arrival. 

4. Leave room in the budget for dining out. One of the great things about a vacation is letting someone else do the cooking. Enjoy fresh, local seafood and Lowcountry cooking. Some of our favorite restaurants include Drunken Jack’s, Hanser House and River City Cafe. 

 

5. Plan your time. Of course, you will while away the hours at the beach. Visit Huntington Beach State Park for hiking, fishing and picnicking. Rent a bike with VayK Gear and take a ride. Book a tee time at one of the local courses. The possibilities are endless.

6. Don’t plan all your time. Leave room for peace and quiet and family connection. Bring a deck of cards and a board game. Or a puzzle. Turn off the cell phones and enjoy some quality time together.

 

7. Take advantage of amenities. We offer properties with private pools and many with community pools. Our oceanfront properties put you steps from the beach. Use the amenities available to guests, including outdoor grills, washers/dryers, and satellite and cable. 

 

8. Make the Hammock Coast your go-to spot. We build relationships with customers that have them coming back. Create memories with your family when you visit time and again, getting to know your favorite restaurants, hang-out spots and the local beaches. 

 

Start planning this year’s vacation, and let us take the hassle out of the process. Then you can relax, pack the swimsuits and enjoy your trip.
