Calling All Bargain Hunters: We've Got Discounts and You Don't Need Coupons
Posted on 06/27/2014 in Southern California Five Star Vacation Rentals.
Sometimes we’re pulled in by the spectacle of some of those reality TV shows. We were channel surfing the other night and landed on a program that showed a woman getting several thousand dollars worth of groceries for less than a $100.00. She had a huge file folder with hundreds of coupons she sorted through. It looked like this was something she worked on for hours every day and her shopping ended up being an all-day event. While we’d much rather spend an hour watching a good action adventure show, this one held our interest due to the amazing bargain she landed. And doesn’t everyone enjoy a good bargain? Of course we do!
For most of us, we plan out our vacations months in advance. We arrange our travel and make reservations after researching our options. That’s the only way to make sure everything comes together when the long-awaited getaway finally arrives. But some folks may suddenly get a few days off or just decide to take a last-minute vacation. One of the downsides of last-minute vacations is that your options may be limited and often more expensive. If you’ve ever booked a flight at the last minute, we see you nodding your head vigorously right now. Well, w e have some good news for you bargain hunters out there.
If you realize during your lunch on Thursday that you may actually be able to cut work on Friday, give us a call. We may have one of our luxury vacation rental units available. If we do, we may well be able to give you a bit of a discount, so the rental won’t sit vacant over the weekend. It’s a win-win. You can pay a bit less, and we’ll avoid the vacancy. We can’t promise we’ll have anything available, but it’s certainly worth a try. If you’d like to get an occasional email from us with last minute specials, drop us a line at fivestarvacationrental@gmail.com. We’ll let you know when something comes available. Be sure to add our phone number (310-780-3411) to your contacts, so you can call us as soon as you may get a few days off. No coupons to collect, and no long lines at the market. Just call us, and we’ll try to track down a bargain for you.

July In Big Bear: Fun Nights and Fun Days!
Posted on 06/20/2014 in Southern California Five Star Vacation Rentals.
At about 3pm yesterday, we announced that summer is officially here. We didn’t use those exact words; the actual words we used would be best left unrepeated. But that was the moment we realized the air conditioning in our car was struggling to keep up with the heat beating down on us while we were parked on our favorite freeway. This uncomfortable moment arrives about this same time each year, and lasts for the several months of summer until things start cooling down a bit. We shouldn’t really complain because we have it much better than most folks, and so can you. You can abandon the heat and pressure of the city freeways to join us in the cool, refreshing, and relaxing atmosphere in Big Bear. And July is the perfect time to plan this short trek.
We still have a few vacancies available for the July 4th weekend, so be sure to call us right away if you’d like to grab one of them. As we’ve mentioned in recent blogs, the Big Bear annual fireworks display is one of the best you can see anywhere. Combine this great display with a stay in one of our luxury vacation rentals, and it has the makings of a perfect weekend getaway.
One of our favorite spots in Big Bear is the Discovery Center. They’ve packed their July schedule with a bunch of fun and informative events. Here’s just a sampling of the fun you can enjoy: Each Friday, head over to the Center at about 7pm for a campfire presentation that will have you learning some of the more quirky history of the region. On Saturday, July 5th, head over to the Discovery Center at 10am, and you can choose between building your own birdhouse, or trying your hand at gold panning. The gold panning is always at the top of our list. Every Saturday and Sunday, you can head over for their weekend nature walks. These weekly guided walks are not strenuous, and you’ll learn a bunch about the local history and flora. We highly recommend it.
If you’re in the mood for a relaxing getaway elsewhere, be sure to check out the rest of our properties in Park City, Southern California Beaches, Villa la Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, and Mammoth Mountain.

We’re starting to see our first really warm days, and that should serve as a reminder that you need to plan your summer getaway. Well, your timing is great if you call us right away. We’ve got a couple of last minute events that are a perfect excuse for you to head for a great family vacation.
Father’s Day is just a week away, and we still have some openings available in Big Bear. What better way is there to show dad how much you love him than by whisking him away to the luxury of a Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear? We have yet to meet a dad who doesn’t love spending time in Big Bear. This time of year the short drive up the hill brings you into a cooler climate with breathtaking views of the surrounding forest. Couple this with great opportunities for fun on the lake, hiking, biking or just relaxing, and it’s sure to be a Father’s day he’ll always remember. Since all of our Big Bear vacation rental cabins come with full kitchens, you can plan ahead to make him a truly gourmet breakfast on Father’s day. Then follow that up with a day filled with his favorite activities. He’ll be happy, and the entire family will certainly benefit from that. Pampered dads have been known to pamper their wives even more, and he just might raise the kid’s allowances too. Everybody wins.
The Independence Day holiday is also just around the corner. July 4th on Big Bear Lake is something many families want to repeat again year after year. It’s always one of the largest fireworks displays in Southern California, and its beauty is magnified by the cool evening and spectacular reflections off the lake. Many of our cabins have barbecues on the deck, so you can just imagine the great taste you can enjoy that day as well. Enjoy an afternoon filled with your own tasty barbecue fixin’s followed by an evening of spectacular lights and explosions in the sky. Finish it off with some hot chocolate while relaxing in the hot tub, and you’ll have a weekend that will have the family smiling for weeks to come.
July is also a great time to enjoy a getaway to one of our other destinations. If you can make your plans on short notice, we may be able to book you into a vacant cabin with one of our last-minute specials.
