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 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.

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.

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!

Plan Your Labor Day Vacation to the Charleston Area Today

Labor Day weekend seems like it’s a long time away, but it will be here before we all know it. Now is the perfect time to start planning for your Labor Day vacation with the family to kick off the end of the summer together. Staying in one of our Carolina One vacation rentals will allow you and your family to stay close to the fun. Let’s look below why you should plan your vacation to the Charleston area for Labor Day weekend today.

Spend the Day on the Sand

One of the best things about spending your Labor Day vacation is being able to take advantage of the low crowds on the beaches. This year let the kids build enormous sandcastles and let the teens play catch the frisbee. There is something for everyone to do and enjoy a day at the beach. Don’t forget to bring the essentials with you on the beach, such as a beach umbrella, towels, sunscreen, a book to read, and the toys for the kids. Relaxing and spending time together is just what every beach vacation should be about.

Try a New Restaurant

Vacations are the best when it comes to not feeling like cooking for the family in your vacation rental. This year take the family out to a new restaurant that may have just opened or just trying one you’ve never eaten at before. If your family likes seafood, then give The Kingstide a try on Daniel Island. They have a classic raw bar that includes oysters and stone crab claws, and they offer the classics such as lobster rolls and even a steak. Many new restaurants are opening up this summer and fall that you will try maybe a few on your vacation.

While there are many other fun things that you can do this Labor Day this year, we wanted to share these few with you. If you haven’t booked your Labor Day vacation yet, now is the time. We don’t want you and your family to miss out on a great vacation to end the summer and begin a great school year!

Ring in the New Year in the Charleston Area

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

Ring in the New Year in the Charleston Area

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!
