10 Great Ways to Make this Summer the Best Beach Vacation Yet

 

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and so is your best beach trip yet. If you love feeling sand between your toes, sunshine on your face, and saltwater on your skin, Pawleys Island makes a fantastic destination. Take your beach trip to the next level with simple tips.

Pick a Spot

You want the perfect vacation rental for your stay. We can help with that. How many bedrooms do you need? Want to be on the beach or close enough to walk or drive? Do you desire a lot of amenities or quiet comfort? Whatever your needs, we’ve got the right place!

 

Enjoy your Amenities

Keep a vacation affordable and convenient by taking advantage of the pools, tennis courts, and other resort facilities. Amenities are usually just steps from your rental and make an excellent way to spend time with the family without leaving the property.

 

Pack Light

You don’t need much on a coastal vacation. Bring the swimsuit, beach towels, flip-flops, pajamas, and toothbrush. Our well-equipped properties have everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you need anything, there are plenty of stores nearby.

 

Have Groceries Delivered

Of course, you will want to stock the fridge and pantry with plenty of food for the family. Put in an order with our partner, Groceries Ahead. They’ll have your order stored at your vacation rental before your arrival. You can’t beat that for convenience!

 

Rent Beach Gear

Speaking of convenience, there’s no need to haul your beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes to the shore. Select items you need with VayK Gear, and they’ll deliver to your rental. 

 

Eat Seafood

When you’re at the beach, take the opportunity to enjoy local seafood. Shrimp. Grouper. Oysters. It doesn’t get better than fresh seafood. Try Wicked Tuna at the Marshwalk in Murrells Inlet or Bistro 217 in the heart of Pawleys Island. Both offer menu items for non-seafood eaters.

 

Wear Sunscreen

It’s basic, but it’s worth the reminder. A bad sunburn is no fun. So, wear sunscreen and re-apply it often and especially after swimming. Even a cloudy day can end with sunburn.

 

Stay Hydrated

While we’re talking of being safe, be sure to drink lots of water. Being in the sun can result in de-hydration more quickly than you realize. 

Bring Plastic Bags

A quart or pint-size freezer bag is an easy and inexpensive way to store your cell phone, paperback, or wallet while at the beach or pool. 

 

Relax

 

Once you arrive, all you need to do is take it easy. You’re on beach-time now.
