It’s something the rich and famous have been doing for years. Oversize sunglasses, floppy hats, and relaxing by the surf in winter were once solely the domain of the glitterati. But those delights are no longer limited to just a select few. As the weather turns a bit colder, increasing numbers of us love to flee for the warmer environment found south of the border. And this time of year is perfect for a winter getaway to our resort in Villa la Estancia just outside Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Winter temperatures in the area seldom dip below the mid 60’s and highs are in the 80’s. During December and January there are usually only a couple days of rain each month. As with all of our destinations, its a place that will have you harboring thoughts of staying lost past when your vacation ends.
Villa la Estancia is situated just a short cab ride from the airport in Puerto Vallarta. It’s located right on the beach, and is built on the premise that you simply cannot have too much luxury or pampering. There are two gourmet restaurants on the premises, and plenty of space poolside to work on your tan. Your most difficult decisions will be whether to have the steak or the lobster or both, and should you relax by the surf or by the pool? We’re sure you get the picture. And that picture gets even better once you put yourself and your family in it.
Each of our units is furnished with your comfort in mind, and you’ll be tempted to never leave. But there are so many good reasons to venture out. A short cab ride gets you into the heart of Puerto Vallarta where you can enjoy nearly endless shopping at stores filled with great knickknacks and creations of local artisans. And you’ll want to pause throughout the day to enjoy the local cuisine as well. The supply of fresh seafood and ethnic choices will have you stopping repeatedly throughout the day.
We have 16 amazing units at Villa la Estancia, so this is a perfect destination for groups of virtually any size. Are you beginning to feel the sand in your toes and smell the brisk ocean breeze?

September is traditionally the month when fall arrives and provides Southern Californians with a glimpse into the beauty of the changing seasons. It’s a rare opportunity to show your kids that there’s more to fall than getting an extra hour of sleep when daylight savings time kicks in. And for the many transplants who moved here from the south and east, it’s a chance to revisit the beauty you may have enjoyed as a kid. We can think of no better way to enhance the pure relaxation of your visit than to settle in with one of our 44 amazing Big Bear luxury vacation rentals from

A few moments after you start to drift off to the wondrous land of vacation dreams, you learn that the Ukrainian hockey team in the room above you has just arrived home for the night and needs to get in just a bit more practice for tomorrow’s match. While you’d really rather be sleeping, the entire family marvels that there is a distinct difference between the sound made by a body check and that of a body slam when heard in your room below. Your oldest son tries to recreate the sound with his little sister, but he quickly learns she just doesn’t sound the same when slammed to the floor. Fortunately, the doctor at the Emergency Room assures you that your daughter’s arm will be perfectly fine after the cast comes off in about 8 weeks. Once you all return to the room, you find the hockey team upstairs has finally gone to bed, and so do all of you. It’s been a very long day.
