*When planning your beach vacation, be sure to do your research. Make sure the destination has what your family is looking for. For example, Myrtle Beach has miles of great beaches, but if you’re looking for a quiet or remote beach, this is not it! But nearby Pawleys Island and Kiawah Island fit the bill. Check message boards and travelers sites, such as TripAdvisor, www.tripadvisor.com, before booking anything. Read what other travelers and experts are saying about a particular hotel or activity or if folks are recommending you rent a house or better to book a hotel room? Note that house rentals usually have one-week rental minimums in peak season. Specials and coupons are abundant for those who bother to look.
