Thanksgiving is always a time to give thanks and spend time with friends and family. This year, why not head down to the Charleston area, where you can celebrate and make new memories? Experience the warm Southern hospitality, mild fall weather, and stunning ocean views – the perfect setting for a memorable Thanksgiving holiday. We at Carolina One Vacation Rentals are ready to welcome you and your family as you spend Thanksgiving with us. Let’s look below at why spending Thanksgiving on the Charleston coast is just what you may need this year.

Why Choose the Charleston Coast for your Thanksgiving Celebration?

Happy Thanksgiving Day! Autumn feast. The family- grandparents, mother, father, and children- sit at the table celebrating the holiday. Traditional dinner.

This is often the question that gets asked yearly: Why should we choose the Charleston Coast for Thanksgiving? The answer is quite simple. Imagine you are in your oceanfront vacation rental, waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying your morning coffee on the balcony. This year, you can enjoy quality time with your family instead of worrying about whether your home is clean enough for your guests. While cooking Thanksgiving Day dinner, you can listen to the family playing on the beach, as the weather is usually mild. After you have a nice relaxing dinner together around the dining room table, you can take a long walk on the beach. The Charleston Coast is the perfect location to have the best holiday you could ever take.

Stay in Style in a Carolina One Vacation Rental

We know how difficult it can be to find the perfect vacation rental for your family’s Thanksgiving stay on the Charleston coast. That’s where Carolina One comes in to help you with your worries. From a cozy condo to a luxurious multi-bedroom home, there is something for every family gathering.

Folly Beach is a great spot with many beachfront options, and the eclectic vibe is perfect for all ages. For most, Edisto Beach is a hidden gem; you’ll find vacation rentals in the most relaxed areas. Sullivan’s Island has all the charm of history and natural beauty for families. And if you’re looking for fun and adventure, try Isle of Palms and Wild Dunes this Thanksgiving.

A Thanksgiving to Remember

A vacation to the Charleston coast this Thanksgiving will be the perfect idea you’ll remember for years. From spending time on one of the beautiful beaches to exploring the communities, there is something for everyone to love. It’s time for your family to enjoy this holiday and spend time together as you relax from the hustle and bustle of life at home. If you don’t feel much like cooking, there will be plenty of places to head to and dine on some coastal treats.

Plus, when you stay in a Carolina One vacation rental, you will want to return for years each Thanksgiving. It gives your family a home base when you spend time outdoors or shopping on Black Friday. Now is the time to have the best Thanksgiving you can here on the Charleston coast.

Creating Unforgettable Memories this Holiday Season in our Vacation Rentals

The holiday season is one of the best times to celebrate with your family. There’s no better way than to make lasting memories with the vacation rental you choose for your large family. We have plenty of spacious vacation homes that offer all the comforts and amenities of home, making them the perfect choice for your memorable holiday vacation.

Reasons to Choose a Larger Vacation Rental

Spacious Homes

Carolina luxury cottage vacation home exterior in the summer

Carolina One Vacation Rentals takes pride in providing homes with plenty of room to host everyone comfortably. We have homes that can sleep up to 24 people and still have enough space to not be on top of each other. Many homes provide larger families with plenty of bathrooms so no one will say they can’t get ready for the day.

Large Kitchens

One of the features that many families feel is the heart of a home is the kitchen, and we couldn’t agree more. Each larger home has well-equipped kitchens like you living in a dream. They are the perfect spot for preparing your holiday feasts and cherished gatherings. Imagine cooking Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner in a kitchen you would only see in a celebrity home. Share those old family recipes passed down through generations with your kids. You’ll have the perfect setting to create a new family tradition.

Check Out That Game Room

A great thing every family can look forward to when going on vacation is a game room. We know many of our guests don’t have a dedicated game room, so we have homes that do. Several homes offer something for everyone, from billiards to video game consoles. These spaces are a great way to have friendly competitions while sharing laughter as you play together. Think of the lasting memories you’ll make as you bond over an excellent game of Life.

Unforgettable Memories

Family Movie Nights

As a child, do you remember sitting down with your family watching a classic holiday movie? This year, why not do the same with your family while on vacation in the Charleston area? Our vacation rentals offer cozy seating for all and top-notch entertainment, creating the perfect atmosphere for movie night. You can’t forget about movie snacks, so make a little “snack bar” in the kitchen and offer them to the rest of the family before the movie.

Baking Extravaganza

The holidays bring out all of the best bakers in the family, or so it seems. The options are endless here, from baking cookies from a box to making them from scratch. And we can’t forget the cakes and pies that will be made and consumed this holiday season. With the large kitchens in your vacation rental, the whole family can be in the kitchen together. Now is the time to get together, share your traditions, and make special memories that we’ll hold dear to our hearts for years to come.

Cozy Fireplaces

Many of our vacation rentals come with a fireplace, perfect for winter’s chilly nights. Imagine sitting by the fire, reading a holiday book to the kids, and enjoying the time together. Relax by the fire this Christmas and New Year’s and bask in the cozy atmosphere together. If your vacation rental does not offer a fireplace, you can gather in the living room and share how this year has gone.

Booking Your Perfect Holiday Retreat

To ensure your family’s vacation is unforgettable this year, book one of our larger vacation rentals with spacious kitchens and game rooms. Enjoy the love and joy of the holiday season as you savor the abundant space and entertainment choices available. Don’t delay reserving your next holiday getaway and crafting those unforgettable memories with your loved one. We’re excited to know which rental you liked the most this holiday season.

Book Now for Summer!

Can you believe summer is just around the corner, and now is the time to book? The Charleston area is the place to be this summer, with many fun events, the beach, and just getting away for quality time with the family. Staying with us at Carolina One vacation rentals will keep your family close to the fun on the beach. Let’s look at why now the best time is to book your summer vacation below.

Book Now Before It’s Too Late

One of the main reasons you are booking your family summer vacation now is that we may not have the complete inventory as we did at the beginning of the season. Many families love to wait until the last minute to book their trips, but plan and be prepared this year. No matter your family’s size, we have the perfect vacation rental that will fit your family’s needs and wants.   

Activities

Another great reason why booking your summer vacation now is the number of activities available. When you vacation in the winter, not all outdoor activities may be available for you to enjoy. The summer months offer our guests more to enjoy without worrying about whether they are open or closed or if the water will be too chilly. Summer means the nightlife is hopping on Folly Beach, and the sun sets later, allowing you to enjoy more time outdoors. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy and experience during the summer this year in the area.

You should book your summer vacation for many other reasons, but we wanted to share these with you. Now is your time if you’re ready to search for your perfect Carolina One vacation rental. We can’t wait to hear what you’re looking for the most on your next summer vacation to the Charleston area!

Book your Spring Break Vacation Today!

"Spring Break spelled out as clear as it gets in block letters in nice, soft, brown sand"

It’s hard to believe that it will be time for Spring Break with the kids in just a month. Instead of heading to a theme park or the Caribbean this year, why not a vacation in the Charleston area. Staying in one of our Carolina One vacation rentals will allow you and your family to sit back and relax at the beach. Let’s look at a few reasons why spending your Spring Break on our beautiful coast is better than any other vacation.

Crowds

One of the biggest things that we often hear from parents is that the kids want to take a nice Spring Break vacation, but they don’t want to deal with the crowds. You have to deal with large crowds whenever you take a vacation to a theme park or even a waterpark during the few weeks of spring break. This can cause you not to enjoy your trip and regret even taking one. When you vacation on our beautiful coastline, you’ll be able to find a prime spot on the beach, all while still relaxing. The crowd level will be less as it’s not summer vacation, and we promise you that you will want to spend every spring break here.

Amazing Weather

Another reason booking your spring break vacation today is a good idea is the weather. April showers will bring May flowers, but when you vacation to the Coast of South Carolina, you will find that the average amount of days it rains is about five days. The temperatures are also just perfect, and the water temps are just right for you to swim. During the day in April, the average temperature is around 73°, with a low of around 60°. No need to worry about what you’re going to wear; just pack your bags and head here.

Plenty of Space

Furnished living Room in Luxury Home, large kitchen, bar stools, hardwood floors,

Staying in one of our vacation rentals will allow you to bring the kids and possibly a few of their friends. We have homes that will accommodate your whole family, including pet-friendly homes. There will be no worries about hearing the kids fight over who is in the bathroom because many of our rentals have more than one bathroom. You will also be able to save some money so that instead of dining out every day, you’ll be able to fix meals in your vacation rental. Think of how nice it will be to have your family spaced out without arguing on your next trip.

Family-Friendly Activities

One thing we know is when you are on vacation with kids, finding family-friendly activities may seem challenging. Look no further; a few activities are happening on the South Carolina Coast this spring break. Visit the USS Yorktown, South Carolina Aquarium, Charleston City Market, and Boone Hall Plantation. Another thing you can do is spend the day at the beach with the family and just soak up the sun and the memories you’ll make this spring break.

There are many other reasons you should book your vacation to come here this Spring Break, but we wanted to share these with you. If you are still on the hunt for that perfect Carolina One vacation rental, give us a call today. We can’t wait to see you soon!

The Holiday Festival of Lights happens yearly at James Island County Park. This park is close to both Charleston and Folly Beach. The Festival of Lights is open daily from 5:30 pm until 10:00 pm until December 31st, 2022. Some fun things you can do there are visiting Santa’s Village, where you can meet Santa Claus himself, enjoy a winter wonderland or enjoy the Palmetto’s workshop. Think of the new memories you and your family will make while visiting this fantastic event this holiday season.

Holiday Street Festival

Join the annual holiday festival in Isle of Palms for the Holiday Street Festival on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022. This event will include the tree lighting ceremony, live entertainment, crafts, delicious food, and more. There will even be a visit from Santa and plenty of activities for the kids. This event is free to attend and will be held from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Come prepared to enjoy a little holiday cheer on the Isle of Palms this year.

27th Annual Christmas Light Parade

Christmas parade with snowman with colored lights at night

Look no further if you’re looking for something a little more like a Christmas parade. On Sunday, December 11th, from 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm, the Mount Pleasant Christmas Parade will be happening. This parade starts with a bang with an impressive fireworks show followed by the parade. You’ll see lit-up floats and different groups brightly as they march down the streets. What an incredible experience to see, and it may become one of your favorites in the area.

While plenty of other events are happening this December, we wanted to share these with you. Give us a call if you haven’t booked your next stay with us at Carolina One vacation rentals. We hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Are you and your family looking to do something a little different this year for the holidays? If the answer is yes, let us share a few reasons you should visit this year. Staying in one of our Carolina One vacation rentals will keep you and your family close to the fun. See below why you should spend your holidays with us on the South Carolina Coast.

Plenty of Space

A big reason for spending the holidays this year in one of our vacation rentals is getting to bring the whole family. Depending on the size of your family will be a significant factor in what size home you’d need to stay in. We have homes perfect for a family of four and some that can sleep up to 20 people. With the size of the house comes the guarantee that you won’t be hearing arguments about who sleeps where and who is hogging the bathroom every morning. There will be plenty for everyone to have their own space. We can promise you that you’ll hear more arguments about leaving to go home than wanting to come back to the area year after year.

Large Kitchens

Another great reason for spending the holidays here on the coast is the large kitchens in our vacation rentals. No need to worry about prepping food to bring on vacation when you can prepare your holiday food in your rental. Bake a few dozen cookies with the kids and let them decorate them. Start a new tradition this year to cook Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas dinner in your rental rather than going out to eat. No matter how big your family is this holiday season, we can promise you’ll have plenty of space in your rental to cook any sized meal for any family gathering!

There are many other reasons why spending the holidays on the Coast of South Carolina, but we wanted to share these with you. If you haven’t booked your next vacation to stay with us at Carolina One vacation rentals, now is the time. We can’t wait to hear which holiday vacation rental was your family’s favorite this year!

Spend New Year’s Eve on the South Carolina Coast

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just a few short days away, and soon New Year’s Eve will be here. The first half of the year seemed to go by so slow, yet the second half of the year flew by so quickly. Instead of ringing in the new year at home, spend it with us in one of our Folly Beach vacation rentals this year. Let’s look below at where you and your family can head to this New Year’s Eve to catch a glimpse of the fun to ring in 2022.

Folly Beach Flip-Flop Drop

Folly Beach is an excellent start to ring in the new year, especially if you’re staying in one of our vacation rentals. This year we are excited to share with you that the Flip-Flop Drop will be returning after it went virtual last year. Beginning at 10:00 pm, Center Street on Folly Beach will close to traffic so people can gather to watch the flops drop. There will be many local businesses staying open later than usual so that you can grab a bite to eat and something to drink as you sit back and wait. Don’t miss this fun and exciting New Year’s Eve on Folly Beach.

Charleston Holiday Festival of Lights

Another excellent opportunity to take the kids out one last time to see the Charleston Holiday Festival of Lights is New Year’s Eve. While they are open nightly from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm, Dec. 31st will be the year’s last opportunity. The Holiday Festival of Lights is over at the James Island County Park in Charleston. Admission to see the Festival of Lights will vary depending on which night you see them and how large your vehicle is. This is one fun night that everyone in the family will enjoy on your next trip to the South Carolina Coast.

Celebrate at Your Vacation Rental

We couldn’t leave out the chance to be able to ring in the new year at your vacation rental. Staying in and celebrating with the family as you make fun finger foods, a charcuterie board, and fun crafts are just as fun. Sit down and watch the giant ball drop in New York City together. No matter what you’re doing, spending time together as a family is just what you may need this New Year’s Eve.

Several other fun events are happening along the Charleston coast, but we wanted to share these few with you. If you haven’t booked your next stay with us in one of our Carolina One vacation rentals, give us a shout. We hope you and your family have a Happy Holiday and New Year’s!
