Just because the weather is turning on the beach, it doesn’t mean that it’s not a great place to still plan a fall vacation, a Carolina Beach vacation rental for Thanksgiving is just what the doctor has ordered. If your whole family is planning on getting together for the holidays why not make it a trip to the beach? Palm Air Realty offers Carolina Beach vacation rentals, Kure Beach vacation rentals. Plus, we specialize in ocean front vacation rentals, and feature dog friendly vacation rentals. Cozying up with a hot drink, and a plate of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing while watching the waves crash on the beach is just about as relaxing and enjoyable as life can get.

Be prepared to pack a little warmer than you would during the summer for your Carolina Beach vacation. But the beautiful thing about the Carolina Beach, Kure Beach area in the fall is the days are warm and the evenings are cool. They’re perfect for fun activities during the day, and you won’t have to worry about sweating and being uncomfortable. Then the night brings in fun campfires on the beach, or making a nice fire in your rental’s fireplace.
