Any day is a great day to spend in a Charleston beach house. That being said, holidays are extra fun in one. Special days come in all shapes and sizes and colors, and we’re approaching an orange and black one. Holidays can be a great time to get away. There’s something about heading off to a Charleston beach house, be it a luxury house on Isle of Palms or a Folly Beach house Charleston that just hits the reset button. Ah, the reset button. Ah, rental homes South Carolina… nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning, waking up just steps from the ocean and the uncrowded beaches. The weather right now is just wonderful - there’s a freshness to the air, and it’s a perfect time to walk along the water and revive your senses. It’s an ideal time to stay in SC vacation rentals, when the rates are lower and the crowds minimal. 
Ghostly Tide Tales near your Charleston beach house
If you are in one of our Isle of Palms vacation rentals right now, there’s a pre-Halloween treat in store this Friday evening. It’s Ghostly Tide Tales… eerie but family-friendly ghost and pirate stories that relate to the Lowcountry. Sponsored by the IOP Rec Center, It will feature pirate/storyteller Eric Lavender spinning tales around a campfire. Bring lawn chairs or blankets and a flashlight, and meet at the 25th Avenue beach access a little before 6:30 p.m. Friday evening, October 27th. That’s just steps from many of our Isle of Palms luxury rentals. There is no charge. Here’s a link to the town’s website: http://www.iop.net/family-events-activities#Ghostlytidetales
