This time of year thoughts often turn to love and the approaching Valentine’s Day holiday. Have you given any thought to how you plan on spending it this year? Do you have a special person in your life that is your Valentine? Why not reserve one of our beautifully appointed Grand Strand vacation rentals for the holiday and make it extra special this year. Get away together during the off-season when rates are lower and crowds haven’t yet arrived. Spend your days walking the beach hand-in-hand collecting shells and end your days by watching the beautiful sunsets.

In our Grand Strand vacation rentals you’ll have everything you need to have all the comforts of home. Our rentals are full size homes, not hotel rooms and not small condominiums. In one of our Grand Strand vacation rentals you’ll have all the privacy you need for a romantic dinner for two on your deck overlooking the ocean.

With the help of Brookgreen Gardens you can do something completely different this Valentine’s Day. They offer a Romantic Dinner for Two by You Cooking Demonstration that will show you the skills you need to make a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with the one you love. Their creative chefs will provide instruction on cooking the perfect 4-course meal and provide you with recipes. Tickets are $25 per person or $60 per couple. Reservations are required. The Romantic Dinner for Two by You Cooking Demonstration will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, February 12 at Brookgreen Gardens.
 

Grand Strand vacation rentals on or near the sandy beaches of South Carolina puts you close to all the area has to offer and at a price you can afford. With over 100 golf courses along a 75-mile Atlantic coastal strip, 1,800+ restaurants, endless beaches, shopping complexes, amusement parks, and live entertainment theaters, you have plenty of choices to make when you stay in Grand Strand vacation rentals. Here you'll be up close and personal to the action but in a setting that will still be peaceful and laid back.

Now that Halloween is here please be extra careful when you leave your Grand Strand vacation rentals and are driving around. Many children and their parents still go door-to-door trick or treating and with costumes on, their field of vision isn’t always what it should be. It’s up to drivers to stay alert and watch for these trick or treaters.

An alternative for those wanting a safer environment for their children is to go Halloween Trick or Treating at Barefoot Landing. From 5-7 p.m. on Monday, October 31, dress the kids up and bring them out to enjoy the sights, sounds, and safety of trick or treating at Barefoot Landing. Bring the family to shop, eat and enjoy!

There’s also Halloween on the Marshwalk – an annual Murrells Inlet tradition. Children are invited to trick-or-treat along the Marshwalk from 5-6 pm. The Children's Costume Contest winners will be announced at 6 pm. Later in the evening, the adult fun begins, as the costumed marauders prowl the Marshwalk. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes. Inquire at any of the Marshwalk restaurants.
