About Steps From The Beach

Finding the right beach rental can turn a trip into a tradition.

Whether you’re packing beach bags for little ones or looking for a more relaxing kind of getaway, one thing remains true: how close you are to the sand can make or break the trip. Over the years, we’ve vacationed up and down the East coast. And every time we spotted a cute rental, the very next question was always, “How close is it to the beach?” When our children were little, that question came from practicality—less walking, less hauling, fewer meltdowns. Now that they’re grown, being steps from the beach is less about necessity and more about ease… and maybe a little indulgence.

But figuring out the actual distance from a rental to the ocean? Not always easy—especially if you don’t know the area. That’s why I created Steps From the Beach—to make the process simpler and a lot more fun.

What You Can Expect:
• Curated vacation rentals with close beach access (think steps—not miles—from the shoreline)
• Local guides that cover where to eat, what to do, and hidden gems worth checking out
• Insider-style tips for finding places you’ll actually want to stay (and return to again and again)

So whether you’re planning your next beach escape or simply daydreaming about it, I hope you find something here that helps you feel one step closer to the ocean.
