Looking for a quickie pre-holiday getaway?

I love a bargain from the Seaside Inn on the Isle of Palms, located just outside of the heart of historic Charleston, S.C.

This serene inn sits along a white sandy beach and the island offers an array of activities and adventure.

A special midweek rate of $55 per night is valid on stays through Christmas Day. Weekends are just $89 per night. That's over a 50% discount.

What's more, these rates include continental breakfast, parking, WiFi and a complimentary appetizer at Banana Cabana.

This super sale does not have any blackout dates, so consider this a nice destination should you opt out of cooking a Thanksgiving meal.

Book your stay through midnight, tonight, Nov. 5 at Bookit.com: http://bookit.com/us/southcarolina/charleston/hotels/seaside-inn/

The location of the Seaside Inn gives travelers the best of both world -- just 8 miles from downtown Charleston and a short stroll to great dining, shopping and entertainment. Within a 5 minute drive is Sullivan's Island, Fort Moultrie and Patriot's Point, the world`s largest maritime museum.

The island offers a perfect spot to relax, for exploring nearby islands with rental canoes, kayaks or sailboats or play on two championship golf courses.

The drive time from Atlanta to Charleston is just under six hours.
