Chic Coastie Pads for Post-Pandemic Getaways
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we’ve all been cooped up at home patiently waiting for the day to bust out and getaway.
That day has come (well, it’ll roll around on June 1) and the Central Coast, with all its wide open spaces and long sandy beaches, is a great place to take those first baby steps back into (socially responsible) travel.
Here are some dreamy holiday homes that will help turn those iso travel dreams into a reality…
