3. Off to the ocean! Sandbridge beach house (from 207 USD)

This oceanfront treasure sets the tone for your beach vacation with its charming decor and comfortable furnishings. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms, this oceanfront vacation rental is ideal for a big group of friends or a big family. Enter the living area and be greeted by the cheery and vibrant colours. The wide windows already give you a peek of the ocean and the beach, the best spot for guests who crave the sea and sun. This kitchen was clearly decorated with an ocean theme in mind. Apart from the fish and seagull decorations that line the top, the cupboards and drawers are all painted with a cool mint green colour, just like the sea! Look up at the blue ceiling, you may even be fooled into thinking it was the blue sky. You can even glimpse a small portion of the real sky through the skylight. The cheerful bedrooms are decorated in soothing colours, which create a relaxing mood for restful sleep. If you crave shade more than sun, head to the pool corner and chill out indoors.
