This Spring's Hottest Destinations

February 19, 2008. If you haven't booked a luxury vacation rental for spring break, all is not lost. There are still some rentals out there that haven't been taken, and you can also ask to be placed on a waiting list for cancellations.

Here are two hot destinations:

Myrtle Beach, S.C. – The Southeast's ultimate beach town has miles of sandy shoreline, and many blocks of exciting entertainment. This is truly a place where everyone can find something. Spend time outdoors by renting a jet-ski, playing a round of golf or wildlife watching at the local parks. Get your shopping fix at Broadway at the Beach or the Coastal Grand Mall. Or just work on your tan.

Corpus Christi, Texas – This coastal Texas town has a nice mix of culture, outdoors recreation and good-old-fashioned beach fun. The town's museum district is home to the Harbor Playhouse theatre, the Texas State Aquarium, the South Texas Institute for the Arts, the Museum of Asian Cultures, and the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. Padre Island National Seashore is just one of several famed spots for birding, hiking and sea kayaking. The windy shores are also prime for sailing and wind surfing.
