Hello, all...and thank you for your time and consideration.
I grew up taking vacations to the likes of Ocean City, MD...Wildwood, NJ...Myrtle Beach, SC...places with a lot of development and "things to do".
In recent years we've enjoyed some very low-key vacations to the Outer Banks of NC...Salvo/Waves, Corolla, Buxton/Frisco.
We'd like to try a new East Coast beach destination that hopefully meets most of the following criteria:
-Quiet and mellow. "Yes" to arts/crafts, antiques, wine, and nature..."no" to water slides, mazes of mirrors, and the like.
-Not more than about a 12-hour drive from Pittsburgh. That puts Charlestown, SC at about the farthest south that I'd want our travel party to have to drive.
-Like to rent a house and not be part of a condo complex.
-We have some limited-mobility members of the travel party...a few years back, they really struggled to walk up and over the massive sand dune between our semi-beachfront rental home and the beach in the OBX. I'd like to find something that we can afford (beach side, semi-oceanfront, or oceanfront) with an accessible, low-climb walk to the water, if such a thing exists.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We'd like to explore a new area that meets most of our criteria and that would work for our family members.
Thanks!
