Traveling to the beach for the holidays might seem downright wrong. For those who consider themselves sticklers for tradition. But this year … well, if there’s ever been a time to try something new, this is probably the time. And maybe you’ll out that those us of who convince ourselves we must suffer through the bitter cold and snow in order to fully experience holiday cheer are the one who are doing it wrong.
This year, consider a December retreat to the warmth and serenity of the beach. Below, seven Airbnbs located everywhere from picturesque Malibu to lively Miami Beach and the quiet Saint Simons Island, all ready to host you and yours this holiday season. Book soon, though. You’re not going to be the only one with this idea.
