As temperatures cool throughout the rest of the country, the appeal of a warm beach getaway only seems to grow. While the 30A area does get some cooler weather, comparatively, it is still much milder. Plus, a visit to the beach means you trade in your galoshes for some shorts, a T-shirt, and perhaps even some sandals or flip-flops.

Honestly, is there a better way to celebrate the holidays than to get away to a warmer, more pleasant climate? So, when planning your next coastal holiday getaway, consider the following seasonal rentals:
