Plan Your Next Getaway
Posted on 01/31/2020 in Big Bear Vacation Rental.
With the new year upon us, we’ve extended our online booking calendar out to all of 2020. This is a great opportunity to plan your next getaway early. Most of us only get a limited amount of time away each year, and it’s important to take full advantage of it. With a little bit of early planning, you can make a truly memorable getaway this year.
Choose Big Bear for Scenery and Skiing
If your idea of relaxation involves lots of outdoorsy stuff like hiking, skiing, and enjoying nature, choose Big Bear for the scenery and skiing. Weather permitting, ski season usually stays open until early April. It’s a busy time for us, and it’s wise to book your stay as early as possible. We have lots of great options that will keep you just as happy off the slopes as you are on them. Few things are more relaxing that settling down in front of the fireplace at the end of a long day of skiing. Add in some time in the hot tub and a relaxing meal, and the moment is complete.
But Big Bear is also a great choice for the rest of the year. Spring is spectacular and opens more opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and biking. The Big Bear Zoo is also a great destination for an afternoon learning about the diverse animals found in the Big Bear area. And each of your days spent exploring are capped off with a relaxing day in your Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear.
Choose La Quinta for Desert Beauty and Golfing
La Quinta is a great choice with lots of luxury properties available outside Palm Springs in Southern California. Choose La Quinta for desert beauty and golfing. Most of our La Quinta properties are located on the fairways of the world-class golf courses spread throughout the area. Most have their own private pools and spas as well. And La Quinta is has lots of great entertainment opportunities available from model rocketry, community picnics, to kite flying competitions.
Nearby Palm Springs has great options for find dining, museums, and the tram takes you on a 2-1/2 mile cable journey through rugged canyons and mountainside to the pristine wilderness of the Mt. San Jacinto State Park at the top. It’s a great way to spend the day, and you’ll bring home lots of amazing memories.

Spend Valentine's Day in Big Bear
Posted on 01/24/2020 in Valentine's Day Ideas.
We have long advocated for taking your romantic life to a new level. And with Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, this is a perfect time to make this year’s celebration a great one. Sure, grab some chocolates and flowers, but also tell your love to pack a bag. February 14th falls on a Friday this year, so this is a great opportunity to plan a long weekend and spend Valentine’s Day in Big Bear.
Ski season is in full swing, so you can plan the long weekend with time on the slopes while relaxing in the comfort of your luxury Five Star Vacation Rental when you’re not on the slopes. Choose one of our properties with a spa, and the scene is set. Relax in front of the fireplace after dinner and enjoy the contrast of the chilly evening air while you bask in the warmth of your hot tub.
And this is not a typical hotel getaway. Instead of having a room in a hallway full of doors to other rooms, you’ll have the entire place to yourselves. If there’s a conversation taking place in the hallway, it’s one you’re involved in, not some stranger wandering the hallway looking for their room. And it’s a perfect setup to have a quiet dinner or breakfast in front of the fireplace followed by a relaxing dip in the spa later. Take a walk in the brisk wintery Big Bear night to refresh yourselves.
There are lots of things that make for a memorable, romantic time together, but the most important one is the actual time together. And with your Five Star Vacation Rentals Big Bear getaway, you can relax and create new memories that you’ll carry with you in the years ahead.
You can start your Valentine’s Day getaway by viewing all of our Big Bear cabins and luxury estates at this link. Or give us a call at 310-780-3411, and we’ll help you choose a great property for your perfect getaway. And if you’d like to explore any of our other destinations, you can be assured that we’re committed to providing top quality cabins, estates, and condos for your next vacation getaway.

How Are Those New Year's Resolutions Doing?
Posted on 01/17/2020 in La Quinta Vacation Rental.
We hope you had a great holiday season. We sure did. We decided not to make any overly optimistic resolutions this year to avoid the disappointment of failing at them too quickly. So far we’re doing okay. We hope you are too. We know our local gym is doing great with its full parking lot, and we wish all those ambitious people the best. We’ll settle for a few more brisk walks, a few less chocolate sundaes, and a lot more quality time with the family.
That last one sure can be elusive, can’t it? No sooner have we put away the holiday decorations than we find ourselves running headlong into new after school activities, playing catch up at work, and generally struggling to make sure we all find the dinner table at about the same time even a few nights.
One thing our family enjoys is the time we set aside for vacations and getaways. Even when we slack a bit on quality family time, our getaways are a time we dedicate to each other and creating fresh memories together. And at Five Star Vacation Rentals, that’s the fun we hope to help families find.
If you want to try something really exotic, how about planning a family getaway to the white sandy beaches in Nuevo Vallarta? January and February usually have some of the best weather of the year with less rainfall and temperatures hovering in the 70s and 80s. We have over a dozen luxury condos on the beach to choose from, and you’ll enjoy the full resort experience. There are world-class restaurants on site. The shops and great local restaurants are a short cab ride away in Puerto Vallarta. How long has it been since you had fresh lobster while watching the surf? Probably too long.
There are flights daily out of LAX to Nuevo Vallarta, and the resort is a quick caba ride away from the airport. Bring your clubs to enjoy some of the great golfing nearby, and plan on some day trips into Puerto Vallarta for the great selection of gifts and artwork by local artisans. And did we mention the lobster?
Our goal is always to create a pampered feeling that will enhance your stay with us. Check out our Nuevo Vallarta beach condos at this link, or give us a call at 310-780-3411.

Sand in Your Toes Time
Posted on 01/10/2020 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.
One of the great things about living in Southern California is the moderate climate. Sure we have our hot summers and occasional cold winter nights, but for the most part we’ve got it pretty good. But our beach times are often limited to the summer months. Surfers can don wetsuits for their fun, but the rest of us usually wait for warmer temperatures. But what if you didn’t have to wait?
Did you know that the average ocean temperature off the coast of Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico is usually in the high 70s this time of year? That’s about 10 degrees warmer than it is in Southern California. And that makes all the difference in the world. There’s no need to wait until summer when you can enjoy a luxury vacation rental right on the beach with Five Star Vacation Rentals in Villa la Estancia.
It’s a getaway you’ll really enjoy. The weather is warmer, there’s often only rain a couple of days during the month. There’s all the fun to be found when you head the short distance over to Puerto Vallarta to enjoy some great shopping and local restaurants. There’s even a chocolate museum. You’ll never want to leave.
You can pamper yourself with the huge 17,000 square foot onsite spa and enjoy fine dining at La Casona, the eclectic fine dining steakhouse at the resort. Or just relax by the pool or at the water’s edge. Get the picture?
All of our luxury suites have full kitchens and most have water views. You can end your day in Puerto Vallarta by cooking up the fresh catch of the day you buy there, or reheating the leftovers from one of the many great local restaurants to choose from.
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 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 Nuevo Vallarta or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.
New Year, New Plans
Posted on 01/03/2020 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.
We’re putting off a few more days before we take down the tree and the Christmas lights. We’re excited to welcome in the New Year, and have great hope for the adventures that await us in the days and months ahead. We love the fresh feeling we get from the New Year, new plans, and the opportunity to make this year even better than last year.
If one of your resolutions was to spend more time with your loved ones, we’ve got some great opportunities on the horizon that you can start planning for now.
Plan a Family Ski Vacation
Big Bear’s ski season is in full swing, and it’s a great time to plan a family ski vacation. Whether you have little ones looking for their very first ski experience, or you’re an expert-level skier hoping to get some quality time in on the slopes, Big Bear’s two ski resorts have choices you’ll be happy with. And with your Five Star Vacation Rental waiting for you at the end of the day, you can be sure your time will be fun, relaxing, and leave you feeling pampered.
Big Bear offers lots to do off the slopes as well. The Village is packed with lots of great little shops and restaurants. The nearby Big Bear Zoo is a great stop to see local wildlife and some actual bears while in Big Bear.
Plan an Exotic Mexico Vacation
It’s a bit jarring to move from ski slopes to sandy beaches, but those are two choices we offer. We have over a dozen luxury condos on the beach in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico. This is a great time of year to visit. Their weather is usually mild this time of year with very little rain and temperatures ranging from the 70’s and 80’s. The ocean water temperature also usually stays in the high 70s during our winter, and gets even warmer during the spring.
The Villa la Estancia resort is right on the beach and just a short cab ride away from the airport and the shops and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. There’s no shortage of activities. You can go deep sea fishing, enjoy a massage and steam spa, taste the local cuisine at the many small shops and restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, or bring your clubs and spend some afternoons on the nearby championship golf courses. It can be a great getaway for one or all of these things.
