Spring Break 2021 in the Charleston Area

Spring Break will be here before you know it, and now is the time to start thinking about planning it. The Charleston area is an excellent place for the whole family to visit, with many things to do for everyone. Staying in one of our Carolina One vacation rentals will allow you and the family to be able to enjoy your break from school a little more. Let’s take a peek at what some of the things that you can do together this spring break in the area.

Fun at the Aquarium

If you have kids that love animals, then bring them over to the South Carolina Aquarium one day. Here they will explore different exhibits such as the Mountain Forest, Piedmont, Trading Post, and Kids Coast. The Kids Coast is a great hands-on learning experience that will allow your kids to learn about water filtration and participate in different activities with others. There is also a Saltmarsh Aviary where you’ll be able to step outside and check out the Charleston Harbor, where you’ll see pelicans and more. Be sure, however, to purchase your tickets online before heading over to the Aquarium for the day.

Frankie’s Fun

Another great place where the whole family can head to is Frankie’s in Charleston. Frankie’s has everything that everyone in the family will love. Some of the things that you will be able to do together are mini-golf, go-karts, batting cages, bumper boats, and even an arcade. After playing a round of mini-golf with the family, head on over to Frankie’s Grill, where you can get pizza, burgers, hot dogs and finish with something sweet. We can promise that your kids will not get bored with everything you can do here at Frankie’s!

Vacation to the Charleston Area & Attend the PGA Championships

Are you or someone in your family a big golf enthusiast? If you are and you’ve always longed to attend a PGA Championship one year, then long no more. This year you and your family can experience the 2021 PGA Championships nearby on Kiawah Island. Staying in one of our Carolina One Vacation Rentals in Folly Beach or Edisto Island will keep you close to the fun. Let’s look below at what you can do at the PGA Championships this year together.

When & Where

One of the most asked questions that has been asked is when and where is the PGA Championships going to be held this year. It will be taking place on May 17^th – May 23^rd, 2021, at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. While the Wanamaker Club and Ground Ticket packages have all been sold out, you can still find tickets via the Official Ticket Exchange.

Just think of how fantastic this opportunity will be to enjoy watching a few rounds of golf from the pros.

Where to Stay

Ring in the New Year in the Charleston Area

It’s hard to believe that 2020 is almost over, and it will soon be time to ring in 2021 with the family. Vacationing to the Charleston area is just what your family needs after the crazy year we have all had. Spending New Year’s with us at Carolina One Vacation Rentals will allow your family to be close to the fun. Let’s look below at a few things that are happening this New Year’s Eve for your family to celebrate while on vacation.

The Flip Flop Drop

This year’s annual Flip Flop Drop-in Folly Beach will look a little different compared to previous years. Instead of heading down to Center Street, where it has been held for many years, you and your family will be able to watch it virtually from your vacation rental. Cook up some delicious steaks or seafood at your vacation rental, make up some charcuterie boards and enjoy a few glasses of wine while you sit and wait for the Flip Flop to drop. Once the clock strikes midnight, then it will be time to watch them fall from the firetruck as it has for many years!

2021 New Year’s Virtual 5K

We know that 2020 seemed to bring out the best in ourselves, and we may have all started our New Year’s resolutions a little later in the year. Instead of waiting until later in the year, start 2021 out on a good note with a New Year’s Virtual 5K Run/Walk. Be sure to register today to get your packets in time for your fun run, and have a blast doing so. There is also a free option if you don’t want the fun swag that goes along with the run, which can be a good option for families. Head down to the beach and walk along with it, looking for shells as you get in your 3.1 miles together. Just enjoy your day with the family and start 2021 out on a good note this year.

While many things are happening this New Year’s here in the Charleston area, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next getaway to stay with us at Carolina One Vacation Rentals, now is the time. We hope to see you and your family as you help us ring in the New Year here on the South Carolina Coast!

Make New Memories this Holiday Season at the Beach

It’s hard to believe that the holidays are here, and pretty soon, it will be time to celebrate the new year. This year instead of spending the holidays at home, spend them at the beach. One of the best things you can do is surprise your family with a vacation to stay in one of our South Carolina vacation rentals. Let’s look below at some fun things that your family can do while on vacation this holiday season.

Bake Sweet Treats

As you are staying in one of our vacation rentals this holiday season, your family can bake some pretty sweet treats in your kitchen. Each of our vacation rentals comes with a full-sized kitchen that your family will feel like you’re still at home but on the beach.

Let the kids decorate their own gingerbread houses that you make while on vacation and let them eat them afterward. Think of the new memories that your family can meanwhile you bake and enjoy these tasty treats.

Watch Holiday Movies

Another fun thing that your family can do is watch holiday movies this year while on vacation.

Some of the classic movies that your family can watch are White Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, or even Elf. Be sure to make some tasty popcorn or snack on some of the delicious treats you have made while on vacation. No matter what movie you watch, just spend as much time on vacation together as a family.

Spend the Day at the Beach

Since you will already be on the South Carolina coast, then head to the beach for a day or two. In between baking and watching movies, relax on the beach as a family. Some of the fun things that the kids can do are have a sandman building contest, build sandcastles like the kids were building gingerbread houses, or sit and relax in the sun. Even though you will be coming during the holiday season, be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen with you. The sun is just as bright as it during the summer months.

Staying in one of our Charleston vacation rentals will keep you and your family close to the fun and action. Let’s look below at a few places where you and the family can head this fall to experience the area a little more.

Did You Say Pumpkins?

One of the best things about the fall is knowing that the family can head to the pumpkin patch to grab those pumpkins for later in the season. Head on over to Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch located at the Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant. This is a great place where the kids can pick out the pumpkin, they want to take home or want to carve to decorate your vacation rental. Boone Hall Plantation has other tours that your family can do while visiting sunch as their tractor tours, outside beauty areas on the property and amazing marsh views. This is a great way to explore the plantation and the area for fun fall things to do!

Spooky Tours

Another fun activity that you and your family can do is some ghost tours. While this may not be a suitable activity to do with the younger kids, the teens and young adults will get a thrill out of it. There are many different tours that are available in the area and will keep you on your toes for the night out. Some favorites for many locals would be the USS Yorktown Ghost Tour and Old Charleston Walking Tours.

Take a Vacation Even While Learning Virtually & Working Remote

Do you and your family need a change of scenery this fall from life at home? If the answer is yes, then allow us to share with you why you need to take a vacation to the Charleston area this fall. This year has been quite a year for many and has made some new adjustments as well. Staying in one of our Charleston area vacation rentals will allow you and your family to enjoy your stay on the coast. Let’s look below at why you should take a vacation even while Learning and working remotely.

Learn Virtually While on Vacation

This year learning for many students will be different compared to previous years. Instead of heading back to school in the classroom, they will be learning from home virtually. Because of this change, that only means that you and your family can take a vacation while your kids are still in school. You will find that each one of our homes comes equipped with complimentary WIFI for you to enjoy. So instead of learning from home, come to the beach and learn all while enjoying your vacation to the Charleston area.

Work from the Beach

Another thing that has changed for many parents is working from home instead of the office. While many still had to go into the office because they were essential workers, many will remain home until 2021. This can be a wonderful thing because now you and your family can still take a vacation to the coast. Instead of sitting at home, hearing the kids fight about who has the remote, you can be enjoying your time at the beach. Work from the living room or deck of your vacation rental. Take a long lunch break and enjoy time with the family on the beach. No matter what working while on vacation is better than any day at home.

While there are so many other things that are exciting about the kids learning virtually and you work from home, these we wanted to share with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to stay with us in one of our Charleston area vacation rentals, now is the time. We can’t wait to see you and your family as you relax this fall on the South Carolina Coast!

Fish this Fall While on Vacation to the Charleston Area

Are you and your family traveling the Charleston area this fall and are looking for something to do? Then look no further as you can take advantage of fishing right here on the Coast of South Carolina. Staying in one of our Carolina One Vacation Rentals will keep you and your family close to the action. We have come up with a guide on where you can go fishing together this fall in the Charleston area.

Edisto Island

When you vacation on Edisto Island this fall, there are several places that we can recommend. Not only is fishing during the fall months fun, but it’s also relaxing too. Edisto Beach State Park will allow the family to experience some saltwater fishing together and more. Admission into the park is $8 per adult, $4 per child (ages 6-15), and free for kids five and under. Another great location on the island is to head over to the Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve. This area is open, and we do recommend that you bring plenty of sunscreens and bug spray with you. If you have younger kids with you, then this may not be the place for you. There are also plenty of charter boats to take advantage of as well that you don’t want to miss.

Folly Beach

Folly Beach is an excellent location to not only vacation at but to go fishing too. Known to many as the “laid back” island is where you will find some great places. Head over to the Folly Beach Pier as you soak up the sun and catch the fish. Depending on the time of year that you go will depend on the price of parking. Daily fishing on the pier is $5 per adult, Kids 12 & under are $3, seniors (60 & up) are $3, and Active Military are $4. You can also rent a rod and bait for the full day of $10 plus a $25 deposit. Think of the fun you and your family can have while on vacation to Folly Beach and enjoy a little fishing too!

Isle of Palms

Just a short drive from Isle of Palms is the Mount Pleasant Pier that has the same pricing for daily fishing. Not only is there the pier but there are also shops close by to where you will be able to do a little shopping too. Another great option is doing a charter fishing trip. There are many in the area, and we can tell you that each one offers you a great time on the boat while you make new memories.

While there are many other fun locations in the Charleston area to fish at this fall with the family, we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your fall vacation to stay with us in one of our Carolina One Vacation Rentals, now is the time. We can’t wait to see you and your family as you enjoy the cooler weather and the great fish this fall!

On the day you do this excursion, you will be able to head over to Otter Island, which happens to be a family favorite. Please note that this fun adventure will take place only during low tide. Make sure to bring your own water (for drinking), towels, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray. Also don’t forget to bring your phone, camera, and binoculars. What a fantastic way to spend the day with your family on this excursion!
