Beach
Front Rentals
A few years ago in August,
I had two whole weeks of vacation. I quickly decided that nothing was
better than a week or two at the beach, and so obtained a beach house
for the duration of my trip. I've used beach front rentals to get the
most out of my vacations for the last several years, and I can tell
you, there is no experience more enjoyable than beach front rentals.
Just imagine being able to fall asleep and awake again to the gentle
pulsing of the waves against the shore every morning and every evening
for two whole weeks at your beach front rentals. It really is a truly
enjoyable experience. Mine was in a tiny island in the middle of the
Caribbean, one of only a few houses on the whole island. Each year I
awaken in whichever of my favorite beach front rentals I've chosen, and
look out at the soft dawning light of the sun, shining across the
beautiful plumage of the native tropical birds, and stretch my arms
with delight. I can go kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, or go to the
mainland for a tasty meal out by taking the complimentary motorboat out
of the island. I won't say that this beachfront rental is affordable
– I do make a lot of money, and I like to spend it
– but there are more affordable ones.
You can get beach front rentals on the California coast for under 1000
dollars a week, which is within the range of many people. I know,
because when I was young, I used these rentals every year to find a
place to start surfing from, and I can tell you that there are many
modest, yet high quality accommodations that were within my range.
Although you will need a wetsuit because the water is very cold, if you
like surfing, California is a cheaper alternative to Hawaii by far.
Of course, you don't need beach front rentals just to have fun on
vacation. For a much more reasonable rate you can rent slightly in
land, but still within an easily traveled mile or two from the beach.
The view, of course, isn't quite as spectacular, but you'll still get
the sea breeze, and the wonderful opportunity to while away your days
just sitting on the beech, soaking up the sun. For the traveler on the
budget, these can be a wonderful way to get to take advantage of the
beauty, charm, and fresh air of the seaside.
