Getting the Most Out of Your Island House Rental
People who live on the east and west coasts of the United States know that there are dozens of habitable islands just a few miles off shore, but people who live in between those two extremes have a tendency of hearing the word “island” and thinking of tropical island paradises such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Guam, or even the Bahamas.
But there are islands much closer to the US where it’s possible to kick back and relax and enjoy the atmosphere - for there is a certain atmosphere endemic to living on a small island, one which you can cross from side to side in a couple of hours, and see the ocean extending out as far as the eye can see in all directions…
The Florida Keys are perhaps the most famous islands known on the east coast of Florida, and the most popular with the vacation crowd and “snowbirds” who want to escape the winter cold of the midwest. These islands are too small to have the huge hotels that pop up like mushrooms in the large cities, instead, there are bed and breakfasts, motels, and homes for rent - which are much nicer and simply more “homier” than a hotel.
Hilton Head, South Carolina is a very famous resort island…even mid-westerners have heard of it. It’s the second largest island on the east coast of the US, and it needs to be, to fit all the golf courses that have been built on it.
Going north up the east coast, what other islands do we have? The Brunswick Islands of North Carolina are nine islands off the coast of the state that have something for everyone. The favorite for old lighthouse lovers is Old Baldhead Island, because they have the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, called “Old Baldy.” Out of service now, but tourists can still visit the lighthouse, and walk on ground where Blackbeard and other pirates once trod.
Chincoteague is Virginia’s only resort island, famous for its wild horses, and its oyster festival. It is also on the Atlantic flyway for shorebirds, waterfowl, and others. So if you’re a birder, you’ll definitely find a week or two spent in Chincoteague worth your while.
That’s only a selection of islands on the east coast, there are many more, and I haven’t even gotten around to covering the west coast. Just do a google search on “Resort islands” east coast, or west coast, and a whole new world will unfold before your eyes.
