June in Big Bear

Things in Big Bear start to heat up in June—both literally and metaphorically. As summer sets in, activities at the lake become more active, and the sun’s warmth presents visitors with plenty of opportunities to bask in the light and have fun. If you’re ready to explore and try new things, there are several activities this month that may tickle your fancy. Expect some fine wine, some bike competitions, and some fishing with very high stakes involved.

June will see The Village Summer Wine Walk revisit Big Bear and celebrate wine, art, and Big Bear’s downtown Village, as it does every year. This year, however, the proceeds from the event will be donated to a few different great causes. The Big Bear Valley Education Trust and Christmas in the Village are two that have been announced thus far. Event attendees will enjoy the wine samplings that line downtown’s main drag along shops and restaurants, with an emphasis on tasting wines from cultures around the world. The walk will take place on June 4th, starting at 3:30PM.

If wine isn’t your scene, though, that’s ok—maybe biking is! The Kenda Cup Series will be presenting the first annual Mountain Bike Shoot Out on June 5th. This event will feature top bikers competing for the Kenda Cup by performing stunts and other impressive feats along the Snow Summit trail. This event is for professionals only, but visitors can attend and watch the bikers race and perform stunts. For more information on the event and how to get tickets, you can call (909) 633-6729.

And if neither wine nor biking thrills you…well, you can get involved in fishing, but the stakes are high. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. A competition aptly titled Fishing for $50K apparently promises the champion a reward of $50,000. It will take place on June 11th and June 12th, and participants may register at 630 Bartlett Rd. More details will be announced at the time of the competition, but if you are interested in learning more, you can call (800) 424-4232 for information and tickets.

These are a few activities June will offer Big Bear visitors, but renting a cabin might be the best attraction yet. But if you’re looking for a something else, we also maintain rentals in  Nuevo VallartaMammoth MountainPark CitySouthern 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 vacation to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.

Treat Dad This Father’s Day

Father’s Day is right around the corner. Though it may be hard to think of a present good enough for your dad, booking a vacation isn’t too shabby. As the date approaches, you can ditch the card and make some real memories in Big Bear.

Big Bear has all the makings of a fantastic bonding experience. If you want to show dad you care by investing in quality time, there’s no better place. No matter what interests he may have, there’s sure to be an outlet for it. Some of the local highlights include the unparalleled fishing opportunities, the collection of museums and music venues, and the world-class dining scene. Make any of these features part of your Father’s Day, and you can bet Dad will feel the appreciation.

Rest assured that the vacation will be equally enjoyable for all other family members, too. There’s something for everybody in Big Bear. While dad takes in the majestic scenery, your kids might marvel at museum exhibits. Enticement springs around every corner, but perhaps the most sought after offering Big Bear boasts is the opportunity to relax. If your life is like most people’s, you rarely get a chance to do this.

In Big Bear, you can. Treat yourself and your Father’s Day party to the exquisite gift of a retreat. Nothing provides a better environment for this than a luxury vacation rental.

Staycations

When you think of taking a vacation, maybe you think about a long road trip or plane ride. Vacations are supposed to get your mind off stress and unite your family with fun. A getaway doesn’t necessarily require distance, though. You can escape and grab some quality bonding time locally on the California coast. Planning a staycation, in fact, is one of the easiest ways to gather friends and family together. We get it, you’re busy–and so is everybody else in your circle. The allure of planning a group reunion can be dampened by the nightmare of coordinating schedules, agreeing on a destination, and organizing transportation. Why not make it easy? Get your loved ones under one roof to enjoy a weekend getaway at one of California’s own beaches.

One of the most inviting locales along the coast is Corona Del Mar. At a little over an hour south of Los Angeles, it is just far away to provide a vacation experience without the hassle of arranging travel and extensive time off. The beach offers breathtaking scenery and stunning landscape, while your rental offers the retreat and luxury you crave. There’s something here for everybody, too. It’s the perfect spot for a reunion, and you won’t need to worry about keeping everybody occupied. Between beach activities and time spent together, you can be sure a great time will be had by all. An escape for a weekend will help you return home rejuvenated and relaxed!

Staying local means everybody can join in the fun, too. Renting a luxury vacation home can provide the perfect site for fun and relaxation in the evenings while you enjoy the scenery of the beach during the day. You might catch some waves and play in the sun, but nobody would really blame you if you just enjoyed the comfort of your vacation rental. With posh amenities and the invitation of luxury, it may outshine even the sunniest of southern California days. Family and friends will love the chance to relax on a local getaway and retire to luxury.

A getaway doesn’t have to be far away. Focus on enjoying time with loved ones, forget your stress and enjoy the comfort of luxurious lodgings.

The California Coast isn’t the only place you can get a luxury rental. If you do decide to travel for your getaway, Five Star Vacation Rental offers lodgings in Big Bear and many other inviting destinations, including Nuevo Vallarta, Mammoth Mountain, Park City, Southern California Beaches, and La Quinta. With Five Star Vacation Rentals, you can be assured that your vacation time will be a time of true relaxation and enjoyment for your family.  We recognize that most families today get precious little vacation time, and we work hard to help make sure your time away will be memorable and meaningful. Our staff is ready to answer your questions and help you put together a great vacation.  Give us a call 310-780-3411.

Doing Nothing in Big Bear

Many people avoid taking vacations because they dread the planning, coordination and hassle the entire thing entails. Maybe you’re one of these people, and who can blame you? Vacations can end up being more of an obligation than an enjoyable getaway, but Five Star Vacation Rentals has set out to change that. A trip can be the stress-free respite it was intended to be. Perhaps the key to a true vacation is eliminating the pressure. Imagine if somebody gave you permission to escape, spend some time in a luxurious home-away-from-home, do whatever relaxes you, and remove all other obligations…

You can give yourself that permission. Instead of planning a vacation centered on an itinerary of activities and events, consider booking a do-nothing-vacation. Booking a luxury vacation home offers a vacation in and of itself. With amenities such as a spa, gourmet kitchen, and fireplace, there’s no reason to leave your rental at all! Staying in and spending time simply relaxing might just be the best vacation you’ve ever had. Vacation, after all, is about escaping stress and obligations. If you don’t believe us, consider the following ideas for your stay-in-getaway.

When’s the last time you settled in to a good book? Reading is a pastime many people enjoy, but most don’t get the opportunity to do it often. With all of life’s time-consuming activities, simply relaxing with a book in hand is something you may not have done in quite a while. Booking a do-nothing vacation is the chance to catch up on reading. Maybe you love cooking, too, but don’t get the chance to make gourmet meals as often as you’d like. Arrive at your rental with ingredients in tow, and you can spend a weekend creating ambrosia.

A Five Star Vacation Rental in Big Bear is the best destination for luxury vacation rentals. You may be perplexed at the idea of spending an entire vacation inside, but you won’t be when you see our rentals. All of our properties offer the most exquisite luxury, including features such as gourmet kitchens and spas. You will have no problem at all relaxing in one of our beautiful vacation homes, and spending your entire vacation there might be the stress relief you’ve been looking for.

Big Bear is one of the best places to relax and take it easy. Five Star Vacation Rental also offers luxury accommodations in  Nuevo Vallarta, 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 vacation to Big Bear or elsewhere, so if you would like more information, you can reach out to us by calling 310-780-3411.
