Top 5 Vacation Spots: Myrtle Beach to Maui

Sandy Beaches, crystal clear water, and endless sunshine on your mind? Then allow us to introduce you to some of the most beautiful vacation spots across the US coastline.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Vacation Myrtle Beach is the largest among all the oceanfront resort groups at Myrtle Beach. It is one of the most exciting, fun-filled, and enjoyable places to experience a beach vacation on the eastern seaboard. They have a number of resorts under their umbrella, so you’re sure to find the perfect place to stay for your next getaway.

This beach resort town on the Atlantic Ocean is the hub of the Grand Strand, a 60-mile beach string known for its celebrity-designed golf courses. It offers a beachfront boardwalk with arcades and souvenir stands and an old-fashioned amusement park.

The park is home to the SkyWheel, which is the country’s tallest Ferris wheel. Whether fishing, surfing, dinner cruises, or visiting Brookgreen Gardens, there’s something for everyone in Myrtle Beach. This is an affordable destination that the whole family will really love.

Savannah, Georgia

This coastal Georgia city is bordered by the Savannah River, which separates it from South Carolina. Known for its beautiful parks, Pre-war architecture, and horse-drawn carriages, it’s a romantic town for couples and a beautiful place for families to vacation too.

If you are planning to stay in a centrally located vacation rental, you should choose a place close to some of Savannah’s most popular things to do. Savannah is a pedestrian-friendly city (and even open container laws don’t exist here!), so we recommend you take advantage and walk as much as you’re able.

Forsyth Park is a must-see for history lovers. Walk on the cobblestone paths to the center of the park to find the Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. There are even playgrounds for little children and a beautiful fountain.

Called the world’s friendliest city, this coastal town presents visitors with grace and charm while allowing you to embark on Southern hospitality during your unforgettable dream vacation. Tybee Island, Savannah’s beach community, offers a place to relax on the beach, surf, fish, and enjoy local seafood shacks or a beautiful sunset cruise with loved ones.

Sedona, Arizona

This desert town near Flagstaff offers beautiful terrain with pine forests, red-rock buttes, and steep canyon walls. Known for its mild climate, it is home to many New Age shops, art galleries, and spas. For nature lovers, it offers numerous trails in Red Rock State Park to picnic, hike, bike, and explore.

When choosing where to stay in Sedona, you have two options: a rental in town, where you can walk to the shops and restaurants easily, or a rental out in the desert, where you’re surrounded by little more than their famous red rocks. Personally, I’d vote for nature, but you might be more swayed by the small-town charm.

This dream vacation destination offers a beautiful background of lush canyons and red rocks that is perfect all year long. It’s a great place to reconnect with yourself or your partner. The landscape alone allows you to dive into your energy center and rediscover yourself.

For foodies, it has a thriving culinary scene with diverse offerings from international cuisine to local Southwestern food. Whatever you decide to do in this serene space, you’ll be sure to remember it for a lifetime.

Vancouver, Washington

Often shadowed by the more famous and larger Vancouver across the border, this Pacific mountain getaway is between Mount St. Helens, the Pacific Coast, and the Columbia River Gorge. We recommend choosing a place that offers you the convenience of where you want to explore the most.

If you love the outdoors, maybe you’ll want to paddle on the Columbia River or hike or bike a trail in Battle Ground Lake State Park, Beacon Rock State Park, or Paradise Point Park. For foodies, enjoy local farmers markets or local cuisine or stop at a north Clark County winery.

For a more cultured experience, explore local galleries or public art like Kiggins Theatre. Walk down Main Street, where 24 murals are on the sides of downtown buildings, walls, and bridges.

This beautiful vacation spot offers the beauty of nature coupled with breathtaking coastline views. What more could you want for a dream vacation?

Maui, Hawaii

Maui has over 30 miles of endless beaches, including Wailea Beach, a portion of an upscale resort community known for diving and snorkeling.

In Maui, there’s an endless supply of outdoor adventures to embark upon. Enjoy different water sports activities like surfing and fishing, or go for a scenic drive. Hana Highway, or the “road to Hana,” is a 68-mile drive that takes you through tropical rainforests with scenic coastlines and waterfalls.

Looking for a beautiful place to take in natural wonders? Try Pipiwai Trai, located in the Haleakala National Park’s Kipahulu District. The same park is home to a volcano that makes up ¾ of Maui.

At Maui Ocean Center, you can visit an aquarium that is one of the top 10 globally with a Humpback Whale exhibit. With a thriving art scene, visitors can learn about its rich cultural heritage while enjoying diverse local cuisine.

When looking for a place to stay, we recommend the stunning villa hosted by Let’s Go Travel Maui. This house is ideal for a family vacation or a group of friends who want a taste of the good life and views from nearly every angle.

Plan a Dream Vacation at a Vacation Rental

Ultimately, a dream vacation looks different for everyone. So, no matter where you decide to go – be it one of these five dream vacation spots or somewhere else; choosing a great rental is important. After all, it is going to be your home away from home. Location is important, not only to be close to things that you want to visit most. Also, when you have children, finding a safe place to stay is imperative.

The amenities that a rental property gives you will also be something to dive into. Do you want to be able to do laundry? Do you want a hot tub to enjoy at night? Be sure to read reviews and all policies before committing to a rental. The type of rental you choose will influence the experience you have while on your dream getaway. Good luck!
