Find a Bit of Romance
Posted on 06/26/2015 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.
Right around Valentine’s Day each year, we see a spike in bookings for all our destinations. It’s the perfect time to set aside some time for you to rekindle the romance with your sweetheart. But why wait until February? We’ve got some great ideas right here in the middle of summer that are guaranteed to delight the two of you.
How about a stormy getaway to the beach Puerto Nuevo? One of the most romantic memories from early in our marriage was during a stormy day. We grabbed some takeout from our local rib joint, and by the time we got home the sky just opened up. It was a deluge, but our little rented house had a covered patio out back. We settled in at the small table under the patio for our feast, and we enjoyed a great meal as the sky raged and flashed with a summer thunderstorm. That was many years ago, but it’s something we regularly remember. We were enjoying some great food, the delight of each other’s company, and a turbulent stormy sky. And this is something you may recreate right now on the beach at Villa la Estancia in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico.
The rains pick up this time of year at the beach in Puerto Nuevo, but it does nothing to detract from the beauty and luxury of this destination. Each of our luxury condos is just steps away from the beach. Summer storms are common, but each unit has a covered patio where you can relax and take in the beauty of the storm over the ocean. It can be a vacation more about the time you spend together at this amazingly romantic destination. There are two onsite restaurants, a huge spa, and no compelling reason to ever leave the property. Settle in, spend some time relaxing together, and wait for a great summer storm to roll in. Add a romantic meal on the patio, and we guarantee this will be a moment you’ll want to repeat over and over again.
You can find romance at any of our destinations. Just call us at 310-800-5454 and we’ll be glad to help you plan a great summer vacation.

Beat the Summer Heat In Big Bear
Posted on 06/19/2015 in FiveStarVacationRental.com News and Updates.
Living in Southern California has a lot of amazing benefits, but even with our moderate temperatures, the summers can feel a bit extreme at times. And the constant discussions about the drought only serve to make the warm weather feel even hotter. Well, we’ve got a great solution for you. Getaway to Big Bear, and leave behind worries about the heat and the drought. We’ve got plenty of water, and our temperatures are always milder than down the hill. Here are a couple of great options:
Our cabin #12 “Lakeside Retreat” is amazingly popular year round. It’s not hard to see why. It takes luxury living to a new level with its indoor swimming pool. You need never venture outside at all in order to enjoy a refreshing swim with this one. In the winter, it’s a wonderful way to end a day on the slopes. During summer, it’s a nearly decadent level of luxury to have your own private pool hidden away inside your luxury cabin. Anytime of year, this one is a great choice.
Our “Estate by the Lake” cabin #8 is another favorite that includes a summer pool outdoors. This beauty is perfect for large groups, and you’ll marvel at all the custom touches. The whimsical acorn-styled chandeliers over the huge dining room table are something that our guests consistently notice with delight. This beauty also boasts 5 master suites spread over 7000 square feet of sheer luxury. There’s room enough to bring the entire extended family for your getaway to this one.
Want to enjoy an even larger “pool?” Our “Grand Lakefront in Big Bear,” cabin #10 is right on Big Bear Lake with it’s own dock. Just pull on your swim suit anytime and enjoy the refreshing cool waters of the lake right off your own deck. And when you’re not in the water, this one is an amazing find. It’s a destination that’s been chosen by Hollywood glitterati, and you’ll quickly see why. It boasts amazing architecture and furnishings with stunning lake scenery dominating the views out of virtually every window.

4th of July in Big Bear
Posted on 06/12/2015 in Five Star Vacation Rentals Big Bear Cabins.
The 4th of July is always spectacular in Big Bear. The annual fireworks display is among the top 5 in all of California, and timed to last 30 minutes or more. And while millions of other Southern Californians will be flocking to public fireworks displays around the southland in the July heat, your family can enjoy a crisp cool time in the mile-high climate of Big Bear. The fireworks extravaganza can be viewed from much of Big Bear, and we still have a few cabins that remain available. But don’t delay, we will likely sell out shortly.
The fireworks always prove the be the great finish to a fun day in Big Bear. There are plenty of barbecue events around town, and you can also plan your own gourmet meal cooked in your Five Star Vacation Rental cabin or estate. Be sure to ask for one of our units with a barbecue grill, and you’ll be ready to go. We may even have a unit available that allows you to watch the fireworks right from the deck. It’s the best of all possible worlds. Enjoy some great grilled food and drink followed by a spectacular fireworks display right out your back deck. You’ll be capturing a moment where all your cares from back home will simply vanish as you enjoy the time with family and friends. Isn’t that what a vacation is all about?
Though many of our guests choose to spend their time just relaxing in the luxury of their Five Star Vacation rental in Big Bear, there’s plenty to keep the more active ones busy. Snow Summit converts its ski lift to a scenic ride up to the 8200 foot peak of the slope. The views from there are just breathtaking. Big Bear’s seasonal golf course emerges as well, so the duffers in your party can enjoy a quick round in the cool mountain air.
Summer is also a great time to get all wet in Big Bear. There are watercraft of virtually every type and size available for rent from sailboards to fishing boats. Action Aqua Flight set up shop in Big Bear a couple years ago, and it’s still amazing to watch people fly over the surface of the lake on powerful jets of water. If you ever wanted to feel the thrill of flying like Ironman, this is the experience for you.
Whatever you may choose to fill your time in Big Bear, the most important part is that you’re together with your family and loved ones away from the distractions and pressures of everyday life. You can get caught up and reaquainted in ways that just aren’t likely over the dinner table back home. When you’re sitting with each other on the deck of your Big Bear vacation rental, you can tell corny jokes, watch for interesting birds and wildlife, and just generally unwind together. It’ll be over far too soon, so enjoy it while you can.

Villa la Estancia Mexico Vacation Rentals
We were one of the early buyers at this resort outside Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, and we regularly return to enjoy the amazing sandy beaches. It’s everything you expect from a beachside resort. It has luxurious pools with sunken cabanas, so you can just swim up and get some refreshments. It has a 30,000 square foot world-class spa on site that will provide you with a decadent level of pampering. The restaurants located at the resort are world class, and offer an amazing combination of local seafood with the finest Kobe beef dishes as well. Ask us about our all-inclusive meal package to simplify your stay.
In addition to the great beach and resort benefits here, you’ll be located a short cab ride from Puerto Vallarta. This amazing historic city has a large community of artisans who sell their works on the streets and in small local shops. And the local cuisine is just amazing. Some of the best lobster we’ve ever had was in a little hole-in-the-wall cafe nearby. There are so many fun shops and arts available, you’ll find yourself returning over and over again. This is one of the reasons we always travel with an extra empty bag. It’s never empty by the time we return home!
There are direct flights to Puerto Vallarta out of LAX, and the resort is just a short cab ride from the airport. Check out all our available Villa la Estancia units at this link.
