People often think of booking their beach house rentals over the summer, but there’s no better time to go on this type of vacation than in the winter. Winter beach time offers some benefits that you won’t get in the warmer seasons. Consider them when you decide whether you want to spend your winter on white sand, listening to the crashing waves.

3 Reasons to Schedule Beach House Rentals in the Winter

1. Skip the Crowds

Winter sees much smaller crowds at the beach than during the warmer seasons. By going during the off-season, your vacation won’t be overwhelmed with other tourists. You can get a reservation at the restaurants you want to try, book the beach house rentals you want on a tighter budget, and spread out with a better spot on the sand.

2. Escape Winter Weather

People who like to escape their local winter weather are called “snowbirds.” Though a white winter can be magical at first, the frigid temperatures, icy sidewalks, and slush everywhere get old quickly. You deserve a break in the warmth with some sun. Winter weather along the Gulf Coast is perfect in the winter months. The weather is warm enough to enjoy the beach and leave your jackets at home; however, it’s not so hot or humid that you‘ll feel uncomfortable as you spend your days outdoors.

3. Spend the Holidays Differently

A Christmas at the beach is unlike any other holiday season you’ve ever had. The entire family will love the magic of surfing Santa, twinkling lights in palm trees, and making snowmen in the sand. Many communities along the Gulf have holiday season festivals throughout the winter months, so you can get into the holiday spirit with these special events.
