The summer season is not quite at a close. That means there’s still time to get a vacation in! Here at 30elm, we have several case studies of homes that we like to browse through when we can’t schedule a week off, or get to St. Barthelemy for that matter. Luckily, an exotic island in the French West Indies isn’t the only place to find summer solace. Hawaii offers a quick getaway for West Coasters, and you know you’ve always wanted to step up to surf lessons. Not itching for the surf, another always popular California getaway, and great place to buy a long term vacation spot, is in the lush wine country (no pun intended). If you are on the west coast, the outer banks and islands of the Carolinas offer phenomenal beach living. If your a tri-stater who can’t make the trip down south, how about springing for a getaway at Fire Island?

And of course, if these exotic locales are too impractical for you to justify owning property at, why not just settle near the links, and be close to fun and relaxation; the latter as long as your game is on.

I hope that makes you want to leave the office as much as it does me, and hey, maybe someday you’ll get to do it. Until then, enjoy ogling these gorgeous homes.
