Isn't It Time You Fled the Country?

Posted on 04/25/2014 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.

We’re not actually looking for fugitives from justice.  But we do welcome with open arms fugitives from stress and the daily grind.  You’ve probably noticed the symptoms as well.  You’re getting increasingly impatient with long meetings.  The mere mention of a conference call sends your eyes rolling back into your head.  And every new mention of a deadline has you glancing at the clock seeking escape at the end of the day.  This is no way to live, and you really need to get some relaxing time away.  Fortunately, we just happen to be world-class experts on creating relaxing escapes away from the pressures of your day.  And this week, we’re going to recommend that you not only get away, but you should flee the country entirely.

Of course we’re talking about spending some quality time in one of our resort condominiums in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.  We’ve got over a dozen luxury units just steps away from the beach at Villa la Estancia.  The resort is a short cab ride from the airport, and there are several flights daily out of LAX.  Other southland airports offer connecting flights that will still get you there quickly.  You can head to the airport at noon, and you’ll be enjoying shrimp and margaritas on the beach by dinner.  It’ll feel like somebody reached around to the back of your head, and opened up your relief valve.  You’ll just sink into the beach chair as all the tension and pressures melt away.

Many of our luxury units overlook the surf, and you’ll find yourself gravitating toward the balcony time after time during your stay.  Each of our units is fully furnished with your comfort in mind, but nothing can quite compete with the view of the ocean you’ll have when you choose one of our view condos.

Villa la Estancia is consistently rated among the top resorts in the Nuevo Vallarta area, and with good reason.  There are two award-winning restaurants on site that cater to even the most discriminating tastes.  Take the short cab ride into Puerto Vallarta, and you’ll enjoy full days of great shopping and amazing food stands.  Seasoned travelers always bring along an empty suitcase to fill with the unique craft and accent items that are virtually irresistible in the markets.  And when those items eventually find their way onto your shelves and desks back home, they’ll be a constant reminder of the amazing time you had when you grabbed the family and fled the country — for an amazing getaway to Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

New Studies Shows The Key To Happiness Is In a Five Star Vacation Rental

Posted on 04/04/2014 in Southern California Five Star Vacation Rentals.

Well, we may be stretching things a bit, but follow along with us.  You’ll see there’s good reason to believe that true happiness can be found in one of our luxurious Five Star Vacation Rental cabins, estates, and condos.

Researchers at Cornell University and San Francisco State University recently completed studies in which individuals were surveyed about recent purchases and experiences.  The object of the studies was to find the source for the greatest happiness among the study participants.  Would they be most happy by acquiring some new material object, or through some shared experience?   As surprising as it may seem, both studies found that we tend to be happier when we have a shared experience than when we buy something new.  The studies found that the joy of a new material purchase fades fairly quickly and is nearly gone with in a matter of weeks.  On the other hand, the memories of an experience shared with others is far more likely to linger and provide lasting joy for a very long time.  There are a number of reasons for this.

We tend to be more open about sharing details about an experience than we are sharing our feelings about a new purchase.  Many of us feel self-conscious about buying something bigger or better than our friends may have, but experiences are usually more about the emotions and activities involved.  And those are much easier and less threatening for many of us to share.

And this is where we step in and provide a height of joy you’ll be smiling about for years to come.  At Five Star Vacation Rentals we have collected some of the finest memory-producing properties to be found anywhere on Earth.  Maybe other planets too.  Our properties are designed to engulf you in a sense of luxury and relaxation unlike anything you have ever known.  We’ve chosen properties located in some of the most beautiful locations to augment the beauty of our luxury estates and cabins.
