Wildlife refuges, hiking trails, and an overall interesting habitat mean that travelers not only can immerse themselves in sunbathing and beach volleyball but nature as well. Restaurants, shopping, a fantastic pier – they’ve got it all. And what could be better than staying in one of these dreamy beach house rentals?
