Your New Years Celebration With Five Star Vacation Rentals
Posted on 12/01/2017 in New Year's Eve in a Five Star Vacation Rental.
This is the most wonderful time to be in Big Bear. We haven’t seen a lot of snow yet, but it’s getting cold enough at night that the snow making machines are running, and the ski slopes are open. The Alpine Slide is running daily as well, so there’s plenty of snow fun both on and off the slopes to keep you busy. This is a perfect time to plan your New Years celebration.
Big Bear is a great choice for your New Years get together for a some very good reasons. Here are just a few:
Play and Stay Close By
Big Bear has a great selection of pubs and entertainment to fill your evening, and with a designated driver or cab, you can all have a good time and keep the fun going for your entire stay.
Keep Your Friends Close
New Year’s Eve celebrations can be great fun, but it’s often bittersweet when the evening comes to a close and everyone must leave. With a Five Star Vacation Rental, you can enjoy yourselves until the early hours, and then have your guests retreat to separate luxury rooms all under the same roof. This is a great advantage, especially for families that want to enjoy the time together. Have a great night out, ring in the New Year together, and get the following morning to catch the Rose Parade with a breakfast prepared fresh in your own gourmet kitchen.
Your New Years celebration in a Five Star Vacation Rental will be both relaxing and fun. There’s a great satisfaction our guests experience by surrounding themselves with the luxury and craftsmanship found in our Big Bear vacation rentals. We strive to make sure every visit is special, and every guest has the finest experience.

Enjoy the Five Star Difference
Posted on 11/24/2017 in Uncategorized.
There are a number of things that we all take into account when we plan a family getaway or vacation. In this week’s blog we’re going to take a look at the Five Star difference you’ll enjoy when you stay with us in one of our luxury vacation rentals. We’re confident you’ll agree that there’s a huge difference between us and staying at some other accommodation.
Vacations are usually a pretty special event. We don’t get to take them any where near as often as we’d like, and it’s important to pack as much value as we can into the limited time we have. This is where you’ll start to see the real Five Star difference.
Unlike staying at a hotel, with Five Star Vacation Rentals, you’ll enjoy the privacy of an entire home, condo, or estate dedicated solely for the use of your family. This means that when your kids step outside their bedroom, they’ll be standing just down the hall from you. At a hotel if your kids step outside the room, they’re usually in a public area that can have quite a bit of foot traffic by strangers. That also can bring unwanted noise at odd hours to interrupt your sleep. At a Five Star Vacation Rental you’ll usually be staying in a quiet area, and have complete privacy.
Our luxury accommodations are a great advantage as well. If you could find a hotel that has the type of views with a private spa, expansive living space, full kitchen and a fireplace, the expense would be astronomical. Now combine that with our floor plans that can handle up to 16 guests, and the expense would grow even greater. Many of our properties are perfect for multiple families to share, so if you split costs, this makes the value simply impossible to duplicate with any other type of resort.
You’ll also see the Five Star difference in the destinations we serve. Big Bear is our most popular choice, but we have lots of condos on the beach at Villa la Estancia near Nuevo Vallarta, and snow getaways in Park City and Mammoth as well.

Thanksgiving in Big Bear
Posted on 11/17/2017 in Kevin and Maria Cobb.
We love this time of year. It’s our busy season, but it’s also a time we get to share in some of the best family connections. We help families arrange things so that brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, in-laws, friends, and grand parents can enjoy each other’s company rather than scramble to find spare beds, mothballed travel trailers, and not-so-nearby hotel rooms. We transport families from the logistics business to the “tell me what you’ve been up to since I saw you last” business. It’s a truly fun and rewarding thing to be a part of, and Thanksgiving in Big Bear is one of our favorites.
There are lots of great things you’ll enjoy about your Thanksgiving in Big Bear with Five Star Vacation Rentals. Most of our luxury cabins and estates are equipped with great kitchens, and many will satisfy even the most demanding gourmet. Bring your fixins and your family’s best chef, and you’ll make this Thanksgiving one that everyone will remember.
There’s a special thrill that many families experience when they make an effort to get everyone together under the same roof for special occasions like Thanksgiving in Big Bear. We have many properties that can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Thanksgiving morning will be something truly special when you have friends and family together enjoying the Macy’s parade, delighting in the smell of the turkey roasting, and getting caught up.
And after your feast, Big Bear is one of the most picturesque spots you’ll likely ever find to enjoy a leisurely walk to help make some room for pumpkin or pecan pie a bit later. Choose one of our cabins within walking distance to The Village, and later in the weekend you can gather some in your group to get a jump on your Christmas shopping by browsing through the shops there. There are dozens of great shops in Big Bear Village, and you’re sure to find great ideas for just about everyone on your list.

Plan a Winter Getaway to The Beach
Posted on 11/10/2017 in Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta Five Star Vacation Rental.
We know that the holidays are just around the corner, and this is a time when lots of people start taking time off. While traditional getaways to our Big Bear cabins are certainly most popular, this is also a perfect time of year to plan a winter getaway to the beach in Nuevo Vallarta. If you’re up for a fun adventure this holiday season, you can enjoy the warmer days found south of the border in our beachside resort at Villa la Estancia on the coast in Mexico.
Long to feel the sand beneath your toes without freezing them off? You can enjoy that in Villa la Estancia. These beautiful towers sit right on the beach, and offer a true resort experience. The on-site amenities make all the difference with this destination. They have award-winning restaurants offering a full fare of fresh seafood, steaks (including Kobi beef) and more. The resort just received a 2017 Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Award.
If you want to enjoy a the night life, there is a great selection of nearby bars and restaurants for whatever mood you’re in at the moment from a quiet, intimate spot, live music with dancing, or a seaside bar with the sound of the crashing waves to fill your senses.
The Tatewari Spa on the premises is a world-class spa that will soothe your senses with soft candlelight, relaxing music, and gentle aromas during your visit. You’ll have a choice of a massage to fit your specific needs at the moment. The massages can help pregnant women, anyone feeling stressed out, golfers, and all of us who could use a healthy dose of pampering.
The resort is a short cab ride from Puerto Vallarta where you can enjoy a vibrant shopping district, amazing local food, and a wide choice of night life entertainment. Try hard to avoid calling your friends back home to tease them about the amazing time you’re having here. Next year they may join you to plan a winter getaway to the beach.
Kevin and Maria Cobb were guests at Villa la Estancia before they decided to invest in the luxury condos on the beach there.

A Special Thanksgiving in a Five Star Vacation Rental
Posted on 10/27/2017 in Five Star Vacation Rentals Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is one of our favorite times of year. For many of us it’s a time devoted to gathering as many family and friends together to enjoy each other’s company and reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for. It’s a perfect time to gather the family and escape to a Five Star Vacation Rental for some very good reasons.
Many of us have childhood memories of being shuffled off to various sofas and spare rooms to make room for visiting relatives.

Halloween in Big Bear
Posted on 10/20/2017 in Kevin and Maria Cobb.
If your family is like ours, Halloween is one of your favorite times of the year. It combines the chance to let your little ones experience a brief time as a super hero, zombie, funny character, or animal. There’s lots of candy involved as well. It’s hard to find anything not to like about Halloween. And Halloween in Big Bear is especially fun.
Big Bear Village pulls out all the stops for Halloween to make it a special time for kids and adults alike. They sponsor a night of trick or treating among the shops, so it becomes one of those rare times when the kids will actually enjoy going with you to do some shopping. Over 50 shops will join in the fun this year, so any kid wearing a costume can plan on getting a treat at each one. It’s a fun and safe alternative to wandering your neighborhood with mixed results. The kids will love all the sweets they pick up along the way, and you’re sure to find some craft, fine wine, or a special item that will fit perfectly on a shelf at home.
One way to maximize your fun over Halloween is to make it a family getaway with a Five Star Vacation Rental to cap off the experience. Enjoy a fun evening strolling with the kids, shopping and trick-or-treating in The Village, then finish the night with a great meal in a local restaurant or one you cook up yourself in your gourmet kitchen. Either way, it’s going to be a fun night as the kids sort through their candy, and you all relax by the fireplace in your luxury vacation rental.

Do You Have a Five Star Vacation Rentals Property?
Posted on 10/13/2017 in Kevin and Maria Cobb.
When Kevin and Maria Cobb first turned a handful of their personal investment properties into Five Star Vacation Rentals nearly two decades ago, they could hardly have imagined their company would grow to include over 50 luxury properties spread from Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, to Park City, Utah. But with thousands of satisfied guests enjoying tens of thousands of nights each year, the business has become an amazing achievement. And it’s something we hope to keep expanding with more top quality luxury homes, cabins and condos.
There are several key elements to our success. Finding and representing the best quality properties is certainly central, but our marketing and ongoing maintenance are nearly as important. We are specifically interested in adding new properties in our core areas of Big Bear and La Quinta in California. As a part of the Five Star family, you’ll enjoy a number of benefits.
Smart Targeted Marketing
We invest heavily in Google Adwords and PPC services to make sure we keep our properties in front of those looking for a vacation getaway.

Plan an Intimate Getaway
Posted on 09/29/2017 in Kevin and Maria Cobb.
In our blog last week, we took a look at some of the great options you have for your large group to enjoy a luxury getaway with a Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear. This week we’re going to head in the opposite direction an offer some great options for your next intimate getaway to help you set a romantic mood, or just spend some quality time relaxing together.
If your idea of relaxation includes sitting on the deck off the master suite and enjoying an unobstructed view of the lake spread out before you, our Cabin 5 will be a great choice. This cabin is built with special attention paid to luxury furnishings and windows looking out on the panoramic lake views. It has an oversize spa for relaxing, and the gourmet kitchen will surely inspire your culinary talents to cook up something wonderful during your stay. A stunner during any season, this one is sure to give you a relaxing time and a true sense of being pampered.
Keeping with our lake-view motif, we also recommend our Cabin 23, Boulder Cove Estate. Nestled amidst the dramatic rock outcroppings of Boulder Cove, the views from this property are unequalled anywhere in Big Bear. Truly panoramic views of the lake are found throughout the property. You’ll delight in the leather furnishings and attention to detail found throughout the decor. Choose the relaxation you want from enjoying a movie with theater sound on the flat screen, relaxing in the hot tub, or just spending a quiet evening together in front of the fireplace. You’ll delight in the time you spend here.
If you’re in the mood for a truly exotic getaway, we recommend you consider booking your romantic retreat to Villa la Estancia, our resort on the beach in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. You’ll be just footsteps away from the surf, and enjoy a truly resort experience. The on-site restaurants offer the best fine steaks and seafood. Choose one of our sea-side rooms, so you can wake up each morning to the sea breeze and end each day with a sunset. There are championship golf courses nearby, and wonderful shopping and local cuisine in nearby Puerto Vallarta.
