This is how I feel too. Nothing against the mid Atlantic beaches - the beaches themselves are fine, I just don’t want to do the “rent a house and go grocery shopping” thing any more. The packing and unpacking etc it’s all just exhausting. And not cheap! Our half of the house we split with our friends was $3500 before food or anything else.


I get this; it sometimes feels like a relocation rather than a vacation. And it is expensive for the quality of house you get. But I hate staying in a hotel with kids.

Same that’s not a vacation. Plus I don’t like the surf. Much prefer calm waters.

We often rent a condo in Sandbridge and it works for us. My kids are young though, it might not be as well suited for teens because there’s really not much to do other than beach/pool. But it’s closer than OBX with similar beaches and I like the less built up places.

Look at Fox realty or Berger realty for home rentals


OCMD is great if you want to get ideas for your next tattoo.

We are Sea Colony fans too (although on the West Side.) I know a lot of people here look down on it, but we find staying on the West Side to be quite relaxing. Tennis and pools on site, just a quiet environment, our balcony overlooks one of the "lakes"/ponds, short bike ride to the beach, bike into town. Our main mode of transportation is biking.

This spent about $10k for a week in OC. If I feel comfortable flying next year, I’m going to feel much better spending $1000 a night at a resort.

Avalon, so overrated. Don't waste your money. There are so many better choices.


Where? Not interested in obx or Hilton head.

We went to Fenwick this year. It's nice. Not nearly as crowded as OC. Very family-friendly.
