Family Memories Booking With Vacasa

May 25, 2021 | Travel

This post is sponsored by Vacasa, however, all opinions are my own.

I’m very close to my parents, and we love vacationing together. However, when you have a couple of cramped hotel rooms, even if they are next to each other, it doesn’t really give you a place to “hang out” and be together, eat meals together, or just relax on a rainy day at the beach. Thankfully, booking with Vacasa makes this super easy, as they have vacation homes of all sizes for rent, all across the country!

Looking for a cozy mountain escape, or maybe a condo at the beach with a great big balcony? Vacasa has you covered! We had the opportunity to rent a vacation home in Destin recently, and we were BLOWN AWAY! The size of our condo was bigger than my first house, and there were so many places for us to gather as a family and hang out. We had one full day of rain during our trip, but it was all ok because we all had a place to sit in the living room to watch a movie, and we played lots of games!

We spent a lot of time on the balcony looking at at the ocean (they had a table and chairs as well as lounge chairs, so plenty of space for all!)

But we also spent time at the large round dining room table off the kitchen playing card games, and eating meals together. We enjoy cooking a couple of nights at the beach and this kitchen and dining set up was perfect!

We of course all enjoyed time at the beach together, the water was crystal clear and the sand was sugar white. We just walked right down from the room and set up a spot on the shore line. When my parents wanted to go back up but we weren’t ready, it was super easy for them to just go back up to the condo and relax while we kept playing. I loved not having to get in the car!

Vacasa also has an amazing commitment to clean with their premium clean. Never once did I feel like the rental was dirty or that a spot was missed. We were confident in a job well done, and felt very safe the entire time.

We all commented over and over that we would be booking this exact condo again, we loved it that much! If you are interested, here is the link so that you can book it yourself! It is a part of TOPS’L in the Sandestin area, which is where I grew up going to the beach. It brought back so many great memories, and I am so glad I got to bring Emma Kate there, and also experience it again with my parents as an adult.

A huge thanks to Vacasa for hosting my family, we can’t wait to book our next trip! Be sure to check out the nationwide rentals available for your next family trip to see how booking with Vacasa can help you!

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend — something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store 🙌). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts don’t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. 💛

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.
