Eliminate Need for 'Vacation from the Vacation' by Extending Stay

Eliminate the need for a "vacation from the vacation" by extending the stay; Wild Dunes® Resort urges winter travelers to consider an extended stay to maximize time away.

Isle of Palms, SC (PRWEB) December 2, 2006 -- How many vacationers have marveled - on the last day of vacation - how quickly the time passed, and head home needing a vacation from the vacation! This winter season, Wild Dunes® Resort (www.wilddunes.com), a year-round oceanfront resort located minutes from downtown Charleston, urges travelers to consider an extended stay vacation to ensure that they head back home fully refreshed and invigorated.

According to travel experts at About.com, vacationers who choose to get away for an extended stay choose their destination based on their preferences in three areas: climate, activities and attractions. But extended stays also offer a number of other invaluable benefits which include:

-Time for both relaxation and activity-- when visiting a resort with spa services, championship golf and tennis, oceanfront villas, gourmet food and more, guests are anything but stressed.
-The full Resort experience can be had year-round. Biking through miles of scenic trails, oceanfront golf, taking a day trip to historic downtown Charleston, and watching the sunrise are always in season!

-Save money! Most resorts and hotels offer a discount rate for a longer stay--Wild Dunes Resort even offers a Winter Golf Pass for 30 days at just $299 for one person (valid for day-of-play reservations in December 2006 and January and February 2007 for play on Monday-Sunday).

-Unpack and stay a while! No living from a suitcase; instead feel totally comfortable at a home away from home.

-Be productive--an extended stay is perfect for working AND relaxing vacations. So get that article written or come up with the next big idea!

-Perfect a new skill (or fix your rusty golf swing) during the stay. Week-long vacations barely leave time for a couple of golf lessons--maybe. An extended stay gives vacationers the chance to truly immerse themselves in an activity.

An extended stay at Wild Dunes Resort offers the opportunity for a true getaway while feeling right at home, where guests have access to two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses, world-class tennis, one of the nation's top-rated recreation programs, miles of bike and walking paths, and much more. All of the villas and homes at Wild Dunes Resort are fully furnished with well-equipped kitchens, washer/dryer, cable television, open decks or screened porches. Weekly housekeeping services are available for an additional fee.

Monthly rates for Extended Stay Guests are available through March 2007 on most of the 1, 2 or 3 bedroom villas and homes and start at $1,155. Rates are based on availability. Arrival is open to any day of the week, and stays must be one to five months in length. Spend your winter in a private, oceanfront community known as one of the finest, award-winning resorts in the Southeast. Call 1-888-778-1866 to book an extended stay at Wild Dunes Resort.
