It seems like 2020 has been, to say the least, one for the record books. If you are like many people you could probably use a vacation. They say every cloud has a silver lining. With many schools having delayed their start or having virtual classes the window to take a family vacation just got a little bigger. But how do you take advantage of this change? Easy, pack up the kids, fold up the laptop and head to the beach and what could be more relaxing than sitting on the deck of one of our oceanfront homes? We can't think of anything better either. This week we have everything you need to know to book and plan a late season vacation in one of our oceanfront beach homes.

Three reasons to rent an oceanfront vacation home

1. Best view on the island- There is simply no better view than that of an oceanfront home. Imagine sitting on the deck pictured above, watching the waves roll in over the shore, a cup of coffee in hand or your favorite novel. For most of us it sounds like paradise. Let your worries drift away with an oceanfront vacation rental. 

2. Easy access to the beach-Forget driving your car to a beach access. With an oceanfront home you just open the door, kick off the flip-flops and you'll be splashing in the water in a few seconds. This is the perfect arrangement for those with kids or those who just love to be on the beach. 

3. We could all use some fresh air-It’s important to think about your health and well-being, particularly in this time of Covid-19. Many experts say getting fresh air is a key to good health.

How to have school and vacation at the same time

We normally think of oceanfront homes for use exclusively as vacation destinations. However, right now with delayed school starts, virtual schooling and other modified forms of school calendars being the norm you can mix vacation and still have the kids in school. Here's how.

1. Rent a home with Wi-Fi. Most schools are using some online education resources. Having a good internet connection is key. Most of our homes have Wi-Fi. If you need help finding one that does have Wi-Fi feel free to give us a call or use our filter when searching for your vacation home. 

2. Plan ahead by bringing what ever supplies you might need. Maybe the kids need headphones for Zoom meetings or chats with teachers. If you need to bring a scanner or some other technology to help the kids with their school work it is important to have it before you get to Topsail Island. 

3. Set up a schedule for the kids. A schedule helps the kids (and parents) plan their day. They'll know what the expectations are regarding school work and when they can switch to vacation mode.
