The waves crash against the shore beneath your bedroom window–ebbing and flowing–breaking and rebuilding the beach below your feet. You stand on the balcony, contentedly looking out at the sunrise and wondering what you would do without your beachfront vacation home.
Many people rent or purchase beachfront vacation homes to escape–if momentarily–their hectic schedules. Some of the most popular beaches Americans escape to include Long Beach, Calif., Miami, Fla., Kauai, Hawaii and various locations in Mexico.
Located south of Los Angeles, Long Beach is California's fifth largest city. More than five million people annually visit Long Beach, vying with the more than 461,000 natives for beachfront vacation homes. In fact, tourists drive the city's economy, spending an estimated $950 million within the city's 50-mile beachfront border.
Year-round moderate temperatures–in the upper 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer and not dipping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter–and a tourism-friendly economy help make Long Beach one of the most highly-recommended locations for purchasing a beachfront vacation home.
The city's coveted idyllic location drives prices higher in Long Beach than in many other cities. There are more than 5,000 hotels in the greater Long Beach area. For a two bedroom beachfront vacation home, visitors can expect to pay about $1,000 per week during the off-season. Prices, however, rise dramatically during peak months.
Miami is another city devoted to helping busy travelers unwind amid its stretches of sand. Visitors can bask in its temperate climate and bathe in the city's crisp salty ocean. In the summer, residents and tourists are welcomed with temperatures nearing 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter, the temperature rarely drops below 60 degree Fahrenheit. Placid daytime hours and a vibrant nightlife color the city of Miami.
Miami beachfront vacation homes come in an array of packages. Miami even has a group advocating pet-friendly vacation getaways. During the summer months, Miami's sometimes scathing sun can drive residents and visitors indoors. Prices from April through November generally fall around $70 per night or $450 per week. During the winter, prices rise to around $85 per night. From Christmas through spring–Miami's peak tourist season–prices skyrocket to upwards of $120 per night or $700 per week.
Outside of the continental United States, Kauai and Mexico are two attractions for beach-lovers wishing to purchase their own beachfront vacation home. The two locations boast year-round warmth, easily accessible beaches and a myriad of activities for tourists.
Mexico, Cancun, Cozumel, Acapulco and the Mayan Riviera are four attractions located on Mexico's 10,143 kilometers of coastline. This coastline borders the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, creating a scenic tropical getaway for the hundreds of thousands of tourists visiting the country each year.
Located in the warm Pacific waters between North America and Asia, the Hawaiian Islands see more than 7.3 billion visitors each year. Most people visit these islands during the winter months, when cold weather drives more Americans to take tropical vacations. For this reason, the prices for beachfront vacation homes in Kauai skyrocket during the winter months, particularly around holidays. Two bedroom oceanfront condominiums are priced between $200 and $300 a night during this season.
Whether it is a nearby drive or a six-hour flight, beachfront vacation homes offer comfort and relaxation from the moment a visitor's toes touch the soft, malleable sand and he hears the rhythmic swells of the ocean.
