Christmas At The Beach!

Your whole family can get together for a unique Christmas experience!
This year do something different – bring the family to The Winds Resort Beach Club on Ocean Isle Beach for Christmas at the beach. The Winds will have a beautiful Christmas tree set up and decorated for you in a four, five or six bedroom Resort Cottage!
If you prefer the tree can be left undecorated so you can have the experience of decorating it with your loved ones (we’ll provide the tree, lights and decorations!).
The Winds is in a great location for families to “meet up” for Christmas – half way between New England and Florida so families living north can meet those from the south halfway!
There are also two international jetports close by (myrtle beach 40 minutes to the south and Wilmington NC 40 minutes to the north).
Everyone will enjoy the beach, the heated indoor pool and the hot Southern breakfast buffet (included each day).
Check out The Winds’ website for details: http://thewinds.com/christmas-packages
