Rain Got You Down? Enjoy a Beach Getaway South of the Border
Posted on 02/24/2017 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.
The weather in Southern California has been amazingly bleak for quite a while now. Record-setting rainfall, floods and gloom are settling in and threatening to be the new normal. Some of us are telling our friends and neighbors things like, “If I wanted a waterlogged life, I would have moved to Seattle.” While we’re enjoying the extra snow these storms are bringing our mountain destinations, some families are missing the simple joys of Southern California life like a visit to the beach and sunny walk in the sand. Well, we’ve got great news for you.
South of the border at our Villa la Estancia getaway we’re enjoying summer-like conditions. It may rain occasionally, but mostly you’re looking at highs in the 70’s and 80’s, sunny or partly cloudy skies, and great beach conditions. It’s a perfect time to plan a quick getaway. And with Spring Break right around the corner, you can grab the entire family for a quick week on the sand.
Our resort condos in Villa la Estancia are the stuff dreams and relaxation are made of. You’ll be just footsteps away from the beach with all the amenities you’d expect to find in a luxury resort. The two on-site restaurants are amazing with menus that include fresh seafood and Kobe beef options. The huge onsite spa is another great way to be pampered in the process. Relax with drinks at the swim-up bar as you enjoy the pool. Lay in the sand and soak up the sun as you listen to the waves splashing on the beach just a few feet away. And remember your friends back stuck in the traffic and gloomy weather back in Southern California.
You have a good choice of flights out of Southern California with direct service into Puerto Vallarta. A quick cab ride from the airport, and you’ll soon be kicking off your shoes and enjoying the view from your room or the sand between your toes.
Each of our condos has a fully equipped kitchen, so you can enjoy anything from reheating your great leftovers from the restaurant downstairs to cooking up the fish you caught while out on an excursion earlier. There’s great golfing nearby as well, so be sure to pack your clubs.
You can view all of our Nuevo Vallarta condos and book online at this link. You can also have a great family holiday in Big Bear, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. No matter what city you are visiting, staying in a Five Star Vacation Rental property will ensure that you experience the absolute best in luxury accommodations. We would be glad to help you plan your holiday in Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.

Celebrate Your Events With Us
Posted on 02/03/2017 in Five Star Vacation Rentals Big Bear Cabins.
We’re right in the middle of ski season, and our Big Bear cabins are filled with lots of avid downhill fans. It’s a great time. The Big Bear area is beautiful in all seasons, but especially so in winter. But sooner than we’d like, the snow will melt, and we’ll see folks planning getaways for different reasons.
Each year we all have special moments we set aside for extra attention. Some are common with most of us like a birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon. But there are lots of other occasions that are great to mark with a special getaway.
Family reunions are great and can be even better if you can get the entire group together without having to resort to the impersonal experience of a hotel. We have several properties located adjacent to each other creating a comfy getaway for up to 28 guests. There’s just no comparison to the safety and relaxation you can enjoy having your family stay in a private luxury cabin. There are no strangers walking down the hallways, and no concerns about parking or finding a common meeting place. Pick the best chef among your group, and put them to work in the gourmet kitchen you’ll find in most of our cabins. You can entirely skip the restaurant experience where you coordinate rides, times, and meeting places. Just pull on your slippers and shuffle out to the kitchen to greet the rest of your family.
Big Bear is also a great choice for your wedding. There are a number of beautiful venues in Big Bear for your nuptials. And with Five Star Vacation Rentals, you can invite your entire bridal party to be there for all the fun and last-minute scurrying leading up to the big day. The time can be that much more special when you’re enjoying creating a new family while relaxing with your extended family in the luxury of one or more of our Big Bear vacation rentals.
There are so many other life events that can be made even more special with a getaway to a Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear. Celebrate adopting your new child, landing that big job, getting your book published, the day you met your sweetheart, or your retirement. We’re here to help you find the perfect destination to match your occasion and the number of guests you’ll have.
