    Summer vacation looks a bit different this year so we're helping you embrace the STAY-cation!

    We're all trying to stay closer to home this year and while that might mean your typical summer vacation was canceled, it doesn't mean there's no way to enjoy the summer. So, we've compiled a list of staycation spots within driving distance of South Shore. Stay safe and enjoy! 

    1. Newport, Rhode Island

    Home to gorgeous scenery, awe-inspiring architecture and inviting hospitality that you can’t help but notice, the charming, coastal New England town of Newport is the perfect getaway location! From touring the Gilded Age mansions to sightseeing tours of Narragansett Bay as well as shopping and dining alongside the harbor, there is something for everyone to enjoy this summer.

    2. Burlington, Vermont

    Burlington boasts the perfect blend of old New England charm, arts, culture and nature. Located along the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, Burlington is one of those places you can't help but fall in love with.  Visit the Church Street Marketplace or visit the beach, take a bike ride or just simply take in the beauty of this city.

    3. Portland, Maine

    Portland is the largest city in Maine and has SO much to offer! Walk down the brick sidewalks and cobblestone streets of the revitalized Old Port District, where you can browse through bookstores, explore craft shops and eat to your heart's content. Portland is known for their incredible culinary scene and unique local businesses.  Enjoy the day strolling from shop to shop or head to the Children's Museum with the kiddos!

    Staying Home Instead?

    Luckily there are lots of ways to still enjoy the summer while staying safe.

    30+ Activities

    4. Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

    What's not to love about Martha's Vineyard in the sweet summertime?!  Visit this iconic island known for it's beautiful beaches, iconic light houses and so much more! Visit the seaside village of Edgartown filled with boutique shopping and pristine harbor views. For more of a beach-y feel, Oak Bluffs has the Flying Horses carousel, an arcade and an easy walk to the beach, plus the history and charm of the "gingerbread" houses in the Methodist campgrounds. Vineyard Haven offers visitors a blend of both.

    5. Lake George, New York

    We often forget that in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains sits this beautiful stunning lake, a destination that is full of recreational activities, a plethora of greenery and plenty of options for relaxation. You certainly want to make it to the Adirondack Wine & Food Festival on your visit!

    6. Nantucket, Massachusetts

    This 50-square mile island has beautiful beaches, quaint shops, beautiful Inn's and so much more!  Nantucket is now designated as a National Historic District. Leave your car and grab a bike to view all that Nantucket has to offer.  Swim, surf or pack up the boat with fishing tackle for Nantucket's excellent striper fishing.

    What do you have planned for this summer?

    If you're like us, the summer also means moving. If you're planning on selling your home this summer, let's talk.

    I'm Susana Murphy, and I founded ALANTE with a clear vision and a passion for redefining what real estate should be. Let me share with you why ALANTE exists, what we stand for, and what we aim to offer both our valued clients and our dedicated agents. ALANTE Real Estate wasn't just a business venture for me—it was a calling born out of a deep-seated belief in doing things differently, and doing them better. Having been in the real estate industry since 2005 myself as a top producing Realtor, I saw firsthand the immense potential for innovation and improvement. I recognized that traditional practices were falling short in meeting the evolving needs of clients and agents alike. My vision for ALANTE was simple yet profound: to elevate the real estate experience by combining cutting-edge technology combined with story driven marketing and timeless values. In an industry often defined by transactions, I wanted to focus on service. I wanted to create a space where clients felt heard, valued, and supported every step of the way, and where agents could thrive in an environment that prioritizes collaboration, growth, support and integrity. At ALANTE, we believe in offering our clients more than just transactions—we offer them transformative experiences. We understand that buying or selling a home is not just a financial decision; it's an emotional journey filled with dreams, aspirations, and life-changing moments. That's why we approach each interaction with empathy, expertise, and a genuine desire to exceed expectations. For our agents, ALANTE is more than just a brokerage—it's a community of like-minded professionals committed to excellence. We provide our agents with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed, all while fostering a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. We believe that empowered agents create exceptional experiences for our clients, and that belief is at the core of everything we do. In an industry that's constantly evolving, we remain steadfast in our commitment to innovation and adaptability. We embrace technology not as a replacement for human connection, but as a catalyst for enhancing it. From advanced marketing strategies to streamlined processes, we leverage technology to enhance efficiency, transparency, and results. We don't just meet industry standards—we set new ones. We believe in raising the bar and redefining what it means to be a leader in real estate. Our dedication to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction sets us apart, and it's what drives us to continually push boundaries and exceed expectations. So, whether you're a client looking for a personalized, unparalleled real estate experience or an agent seeking a supportive, forward-thinking brokerage, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we're not just reimagining real estate—we're elevating it to new heights. Welcome to ALANTE Real Estate, where your vision meets our passion.
