In a time when the majority of us are curtailing extraneous driving due to the high cost of gas, many summer vacationers are looking a little closer to home. In watching the morning news channel recently out of Jacksonville, they had a segment on Staycations---or staying home and enjoying the fun and recreation available in close proximity to home. Certainly the Golden Isles of GA offers a variety of choices as those of us fortunate enough to live here realize the natural beauty and recreational opportunities are simply fabulous. From golf and tennis, to water sports and fishing, our area offers diverse choices for either the athlete or the more sedate sand and sun worshiper. Dining opportunities from surf to turf are accessible and the “shopportunities” in Glynn County should titillate even the most discriminating buyer. Lodging choices range from chain hotels, quaint inns to even the nationally recognized Cloister Hotel on Sea Island.
But even more significant in these days with talk of cut-backs, economy slow-downs and such challenges are the delightful options available for enjoyment at no charge at all. Our public beaches, nature trails, picnic areas and fishing piers and many historical spots are offered to the public at no charge. Don’t forget our phenomenal sunrises, sunsets and the unending marsh vistas to add to a peaceful and memorable holiday.
If you want to plan a get-away, give me a call and come by and visit our office in the Village Area on St. Simons Island. We have two property managers handling vacation rentals now and love to share our area with new guests, and who knows you may get a little sand in your shoes you can’t shake out! |
