Storybook cottage offers California beach respite

A trip to California’s Central Coast is all about replenishment and reflection and an appreciation of the spectacular natural beauty here that never seems to grow old. And what better place to get a new perspective on your daily life than a storybook cottage footsteps from the pounding surf and amazing energy of the Pacific Ocean?

If long walks along a driftwood-strewn beach are your idea of a trip to the sea, then Moonstone Beach in Cambria is probably a good candidate for your next outing to the California Coast. Cambria is a place where you can spend hours each day walking – on the beach, on the boardwalk and through a quaint, historic artist’s colony chock-full of art galleries as well as unique shops and good restaurants.

Cambria is in San Luis Obispo County and located in an area that gives visitors several options for short daytrips. The wineries are just a few miles east, Hearst Castle just a few miles north. Some of California’s best beaches are a short drive to the south. And San Luis Obispo is just a few miles south and inland.

On our most recent trip to Cambria we discovered a charming group of cottages on Moonstone Beach that seem especially well suited to honeymoons or romantic getaways. There are just three “Moonstone Cottages” built on a small lot directly across the road from some of the best areas to explore on Moonstone Beach (so named because of the semi-precious agate and jasper stones that can be found in the sand). The cottages are not part of a big resort so you won’t be sharing your getaway with other travelers. Aside from seeing their vehicles parked in front of their cottages, we never even saw our neighbors the entire time we were there. Read more »

All kinds of holidays in Britain are set for a bumper season this Summer, thanks to the weak £ and the dreaded recession. So anyone running holiday accommodation should start sprucing the place up now!

The south west is a favourite with the Brits and overseas visitors alike, caravan holidays in Devon attract plenty of visitors from Germany and Holland. Make sure you choose your travel time carefully in peak season as the roads are very very busy!

For anyone who likes to take planty of luggage, going on holiday in a caravan in the UK makes a lot of sense. You can pack all your stuff in the van, hook it on to the car and off you go – no need to unpack at the other end, and your case is not going to be sent to the other side of the world without you.

The other group who are likely to be booking caravan holidays in the UK are dog owners.  Once we got a dog ourselves we took all our holidays in the England, as a result we had a fantastic time in Devon. If we did not have a pet we would probably have gone abroad, and would never have discovered all the beautiful places in the West country.  You do not need to have your own caravan, there are plenty of sites where you simply book a fixed mobile home for the length of your stay, just turn up and start enjoying the beautiful English countryside.

There are many options to choose from when choosing among Perdido Key rentals in Florida. In fact, the options are so many and so varied, it helps to have a very clear view of what you want to do and accomplish in the Perdido Key area before doing any research on gulf shore condos and certainly before making a reservation. Here are some things to consider:

Your Perdido Key rental decision should be influenced by who is vacationing with you. Family vacations are very different from romantic getaways, and many families prefer to stay in Perdido Key rentals near kid-friendly attractions like zoos, water parks and nature reserves.
On the other hand, if you’re taking a romantic interlude with your significant other, you may wish to reserve a Perdido Key rental that is farther away from such attractions and where fewer children are likely to be staying. Read more »
