Hilton Head Island Vacation Rentals

Hilton Head Island Vacations Combine Sea, Sport, and So Much More

Finding the perfect vacation destination might sound like a lot of work, but it really should be easy.  Take Hilton Head Island, for example.  Sitting just off the South Carolina coast, this pristine island stretches twelve miles wide and five miles long.  While Hilton Head’s footprint might sound small, this magical island packs in a whole lot of activity while keeping the natural environment as a top priority.  And plenty of people seem to agree as Hilton Head has been named one of the top ten family beaches in the country.  There is a tremendous variety of Hilton Head Island Vacation Rentals available, ensuring one can find the perfect holiday accommodation.  So, just what are all these folks raving about?

Life is a beach, and a whole lot more. Beaches are popular vacation spots for obvious reasons, and Hilton Head Island certainly celebrates its beach culture.  Sandy shores give vacationers plenty of opportunities to fill their days.  While some prefer to sun bathe and stroll along the shore, others opt to duck waves, build sand castles, or join in on a beach volleyball game.  But, beyond the beach’s enchantment, Hilton Head provides so much more, starting with its fifty miles of public bike and nature trails.  Bike rentals are easy to come by in Hilton Head and allow visitors to explore marshy forests, friendly beach neighborhoods, and several of Hilton Head’s plantations, or planned communities.  If you are disabled and need a wheelchair to get around, have no fear their are companies that provide Hilton Head Island beach wheelchair rentals. While biking and beaching are two of the most popular activities in Hilton Head, there’s still plenty of other ways to fill the day on the island.  Choose from windsurfing, water-skiing, kayaking, sailing, fishing and crabbing, dolphin watching, or parasailing, to name only a few.  And, of course, keep in mind that Hilton Head is a premier golf destination.  More than twenty golf courses offer vacationers unmatched choice in some of the county’s most beautiful environment.

Nights out begin at Happy Hour. Hilton Head is serious about food, drink, and entertainment.  Sea Pines is home to theHilton Head Island Sunset, South Carolina world famous Salty Dog Café, a waterfront restaurant that has become an institution of sorts in Hilton Head.  Children’s entertainment, happy hour specials, and live music are just a few of the daily items served up at the Salty Dog, but this sort of menu travels all over Hilton Head.  Jump over to Harbor Town, for example, and sit under Hilton Head’s landmark lighthouse on the Quarterdeck’s massive outdoor patio.  Happy hour is the best time to hit up this spot as live music is perfectly paired with frozen drinks and crab leg specials that accompany a harbor sun set.  Still, these are only two of Hilton Head’s 250 restaurants, each of which offers something unique and memorable for the whole family.  If you are planning a family vacation or traveling with babies then contact a Hilton Head Island baby gear rental company for all the baby equipment needed.

Natural environment creates spectacular results. Beyond the shopping, dining, and endless activities that Hilton Head offers, the true beauty of this island is in the natural environment itself.  While Hilton Head is certainly a spot that draws many visitors, the island doesn’t give itself away to tourism, and that’s a very rare trait in a top beach destination.  Hilton Head prides itself on maintaining its natural environment and preserving it for many generations to come.  While this is evident in the areas marked for biking, nature walks, or bird watching, it’s clearly a part of the entire island’s design.  First, because the island is separated into private plantations, visitors have the opportunity to spend their vacation time in quiet, private communities that resists over development.  Additionally, because the focus of the island is on nature, glorious oaks dripping in Spanish Moss will line community streets rather than one tourist shop after another.

Whether you’re planning your vacation with a focus on the beach, the nightlife, the activity, or the natural beauty,  Hilton Head Island is the place to unwind and enjoy everything, or nothing at all.

Travel to Shenandoah Valley and Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains

Fresh air, breath taking mountain views, unlimited outdoor activities, and a chance to get away from the daily grind are all part of traveling to The Blue Ridge Mountains in Central Virginia.  Today’s article features The Shenandoah Valley, a popular vacation destination in the mountains of Central Virginia, along with vacation cabin rentals in the area.  Shenandoah Valley Cabin Rentals with Mountain Views

Enjoy the Outdoor Wonders of Central Virginia

People who love outdoor activities will not find a better place to vacation – or to live – than Central Virginia.   There are so many things to do and natural wonders to explore, you’ll never tire of the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When Stan Horst moved to Central Virginia 20 years ago, he found the perfect place to live.  Stan and his wife, Debbie, a Virginia native, own and operate Cabin Creekwood, a vacation rental business near Waynesboro.

Novice and expert hikers alike will find trails to suit their preference for a walk in the woods or a serious hike while taking in views from a mountain top or a cascading waterfall.  Some of the options for hiking are:

•    The Appalachian Trail covers over 2100 miles from Maine to Georgia and is the nation’s longest marked footpath.   The Appalachain Trail in Central Virginia crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway a number of times and can be easily accessed just two miles from Cabin Creekwood.
•    Humpback Rocks Trail leads to Humpback Rocks, to Humpback Mountain and to the Humpback Rocks picnic area.  From this trail, ambitious hikers take a spur trail to a strenuous 700 foot climb providing amazing views of the Rockfish and Shenandoah Valleys.  Continuing one more mile, hikers reach the summit of Humpback Mountain with views of the mountain ridges to the north.
•    Spy Rock Trail is one of the Horst’s favorite hikes just for the incredible views offered.   According to legend, Confederate Soldiers used Spy Rock as a lookout for Union Troops.  Once you reach Spy Rock you’ll understand why.
•    Crabtree Falls is said to be one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Virginia and the highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi.   This natural wonder with five cascades is definitely a must-see for visitors to the area.  Anyone can enjoy Crabtree Falls as the first cascade is handicapped accessible.  After walking to the bottom of the lowest falls, the trail becomes dirt and you are on one of nine switchbacks that take you to the top of the Falls.  With guardrails on the steeper parts, the trail is well maintained and there are railed observation points for the most scenic overlooks.  It may be tempting to climb over the stone wall to the uppermost falls but resist the urge as the rocks are covered with algae and are very slippery.
•    Torry Ridge Trail is 7 miles long and follows the crest of Torry Ridge, providing great views of wilderness areas.

Caverns are a popular tourist destination in the Shenandoah Valley.  The closest caverns to Cabin Creekwood, Grand Caverns, are less commercialized than many similar cavern attractions perhaps due to being operated by a regional park authority.  Stan often recommends Grand Caverns as his personal favorite.  The Cathedral Hall, which is 289 feet long and over 70 feet high, is an awesome sight with its massive columns, rippling flowstone, and rare “shield” formations.  This cave was visited by both Confederate and Union Soldiers and has over 230 verified signatures of Civil War soldiers.

Luray Caverns are perhaps the best known caverns in Virginia attracting people from all over North America and more than 50 foreign countries.   Well-lighted walkways wind through huge chambers with breathtaking stalactites and cathedral sized rooms then lead to mirror-perfect pools of water.  Guides at Luray share stories about the science behind the natural wonders and how the caverns were discovered.   This is the home of the world’s only “stalacpipe organ” which plays haunting music on natural formations.

-Stan Horst

Cabin Creekwood Virginia Mountain Cabin RentalsCabin Creekwood, located in Lyndhurst, is a great Blue Ridge Mountain vacation rental company.  They offer a variety of Shenandoah Valley vacation rental cabins. From historic log cabins, to Virginia cabins for rent that are perfect for families with children, Cabin Creekwood has a mountain accommodation that is perfect for your holiday getaway. Their is a nice pool that is available for guests as well. While the cabins are secluded, Lyndhurst’s central Shenandoah Valley location means you’re only a few short miles from exciting attractions like Wintergreen Ski Resort, the George Washington National Forest, and Sherando Lake. The cabins are two hours from Richmond, three hours from Washington DC, and four hours from Norfolk.

Stan’s website www.CabinCreekwood.com is a fantastic resource for people interested in traveling to the mountains of Central Virginia. Let Cabin Creekwood be your guide for popular and exciting outdoor activities like fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and more.  If golfing is always part of your vacation plans then check out golf courses near the area.

Sherando Lake Canoe Rentals in Central VirginiaCabin Creekwood also provides kayak rentals & canoes for rent which can be delivered to guests or picked up for use at one of The Shenandoah Valley’s many lakes, rivers and streams: Sherando Lake, South Fork Shenandoah River, Tye River, James River, Mossy Creek, St. Mary’s River, Staunton Dam, Elkhorn Lake, Lake Nelson, South River, and Back Creek.

Baby Equipment Rentals and Travel Planning in Winnipeg Canada

If you are planning a family vacation or traveling to Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) with kids in tow, then consider Baby Equipment Rentals as a way to simplify the process.  Winnipeg, also known as “the cultural cradle of Canada”, is home to a variety of significant architecture, award-winning musicians, and amazing festivals & cultural events. Karen Dunmall owner of Parentals, a child equipment rental company in Winnipeg, knows all to well how overwhelming travel planning becomes once babies and kids enter the equation…

Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada

Ah, the joys of travelling.  Bags packed?  Check.  Tickets?  Check.  Book and little pillow?  Check.  Checked in and taxi called?  Check.  Time to relax and enjoy the trip!

Wait a minute – that was before kids.  Scratch off the book and pillow, call the airline to make sure the lap child is on the reservation, and ask the taxi company for a minivan.  Re-pack the bags to make sure there is room for the bottles, medicine, clothes, sippy cups, favourite teddy, shoes, sandals, hats, toys, books, presents for grandma, and maybe a pair of pants for yourself (you can make do with one, you think).  Add another suitcase to the list of things to pay for at the airport because you forgot the humidifier, bumper pads, snow suit, boots, music player, favourite blanket and booster chair. Whew.  Now, get the car seats into the taxi, add the stroller and bags, and oops, almost forgot the kid!

It is always amazing how much stuff kids need, and especially when they are traveling.  The idea of jumping on the plane to visit grandma or go on vacation always seems great but then the reality of traveling with kids sets in.  It is a lot of work.

However, there are now baby equipment rental companies like Parentals (www.parentals.ca) in Winnipeg, Manitoba to make traveling a little easier.  Instead of hauling car seats from coast to coast, or bringing toys, bedding, strollers, and booster chairs from home, the option to rent baby gear is in most major cities across Canada and in fact worldwide.  Grandma can rent a full-sized crib just like home so that the little ones sleep better, and are contained in a perhaps not child-proofed room like Grandma’s den.  With all of the crib and stroller recalls lately, borrowing from friends or getting items second hand may no longer be the safest option. So make life a little bit simpler and rent what you need for baby.

Parentals Child Equipment Rentals LogoParentals opened in July 2009 with new, safe and clean furniture and gear to rent for baby.  We carry everything from car seats to strollers, booster chairs to cribs, and everything in between.  People travelling to Winnipeg, grandparents expecting an exciting visit from their grandkids, and also Winnipeg parents either expecting a new baby or those with kids travelling abroad have all rented baby gear from Parentals.  We also just launched our Winnipeg Childrens Activities Calendar, which lists all the things to do with kids in Winnipeg.  We post on Facebook when there is a new addition to the calendar, so our Facebook fans always know of exciting things to see and do with kids in Winnipeg.

So, if you are coming to Winnipeg to experience our friendly Canadian hospitality, enjoy our authentic winter, jump in our many gorgeous lakes or fish some of our best kept secrets, call Parentals to help make your journey with kids easier and your stay more enjoyable.

Traveling to Vancouver For The 2010 Winter Olympics

The 2010 Winter Olypmics are almost here providing a great opportunity to introduce some of Rent It Today’s Canadian rental companies and highlight another amazing travel destination.

2010 Winter Olympics logo

The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France in 1924.  Winter sports, including various skiing events, have been competed in every Winter Olympics since then.  Vancouver and the nearby mountain resort area Whislter, in British Columbia Canada, are the proud hosts of the 2010 Winter Olympics. While the Winter Olympics are certainly the current event when thinking of Vancouver, the city is also considered one of the most desirable places to live in the world.  If you are planning a vacation to this beautiful city there are a number of must see attractions.  Stanley Park, being one of them, has a 1000 acres of west coast forest to explore with trails and a 6.5 mile seawall path for hiking and biking.  In addition Stanley park has 3 recreational beaches and its home to the Vancouver Aquarium.  Nearby Vancouver Island & Granville Island are very popular destinations and the Capilano Suspension Bridge provides incredible views of the Capilano River Canyon.  Finding an amazing holiday accommodation in the area should be a fun task as there are plenty of wonderful vacation rentals in Vancouver.

If you plan on attending the 2010 Winter Olypmpics and/or traveling to Vancouver for a family vacation with babies in tote, then pack lite because Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals has all the baby gear and supplies needed for your vacation.  Stroller rentals, car seats, full sized cribs, toys, infant bathtubs, and baby monitors are just a few examples of baby items for rent available through Wee Travel Baby Equipment RentalsWee Travel supplies baby equipment rentals to Toronto, Victoria, Vancouver, and their surrounding metro & resort areas.  They also own a delightful Vancouver vacation rental accommodation.

Rent It in Vancouver:

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals logo

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) launched in 2005 as Canada’s first baby equipment rental company. Over the years, the company has sought out new products and innovative ways to make it safer, easier, and less stressful for families to fly with small children. The company recently opened The Modage, a beautiful furnished vacation rental in Kitsilano. After hearing customers remark over and over again how difficult it is to stay in hotels with small children, Wee Travel decided a vacation rental property was the solution. A fully equipped kitchen, fridge, stove, laundry facilities and baby gear such as a crib, highchair, carseat, stroller and toys were all key desires of their customers. The Modage was converted to a furnished vacation rental in August 2009. It’s stunning and welcomes kids and pets. The 1300 square foot townhouse is located in one of the most desirable areas of the city, and is within walking distance to Kits beach, Granville Island and a variety of trendy shopping areas and kids parks/water parks. It comes complete with a crib and highchair if required, and a full range of baby gear can be provided for a minimal cost. Now that’s what we call the “stress free” route to Vancouver.

Vacationing in Summit County: Colorado’s Winter Playground

Have you hit the slopes yet this ski season?  If not, consider heading to “Colorado’s Winter Playground”.  The second part to our series on Colorado travel and vacation destinations features the ski resorts and towns of Summit County, Colorado.

Breckenridge, Colorado in Summit County

Breckenridge, Colorado

Summit County is Colorado’s Winter Playground

It’s not hard to understand why Summit County is Colorado’s most popular ski and snowboard destination.  Boasting the four world-class ski resorts of Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain, Summit County is Colorado’s hot spot for winter sports.  Plus, the multitude of lodging and shopping options in the towns of Frisco, Silverthorne, and Dillon make planning a vacation to Summit County affordable and convenient.  So, exactly what can you expect from a trip to Summit?

Limitless Skiing Options: Each Summit County ski resort offers its own claim to fame.  With a summit elevation of 13,050 feet, Arapahoe Basin boasts the highest skiable terrain in all of North America.  Expert and advanced skiers & boarders appreciate the resort’s 25% of terrain devoted to double black diamond trails, mixed with another 25% of black diamonds.  Beginners, however, might prefer Breckenridge’s dedicated beginner trails.  Among its four peaks, Breck has some great beginner spots right alongside its own technically challenging ski and snowboard trails.  Additionally, Breckenridge not only holds the honor of winning Summit County’s award for best ski resort, but also houses the highest chairlift in all of North America.  The largest ski resort in Summit County, Copper Mountain sports expert bowls, terrain parks, and more than 2,400 acres of thrilling skiing and boarding.  It’s no wonder Copper was voted Summit County’s best snowboarding mountain in both 2008 and 2007.  Terrain parks are no joke at Keystone either.  Keystone’s A51 Terrain Park was ranked #4 in all of North America by Transworld Snowboard Magazine.  Plus, with night skiing, hike to bowl skiing, and a range of terrain devoted to skiers and boarders of all levels, Keystone is a popular Summit County choice as well.

Snowmobile Rentals:  Take a break from the slopes and enjoy the expansive backcountry trails throughout Summit County with snowmobile rentals.  ATV and Snowmobile Rental companies, like Colorado Backcountry Rentals, offer snowmobiles for both single and double riders.  When it comes to renting snowmobiles, there are variety of options in Summit County’s popular ski resorts and mountain towns:  Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone , Dillon, and Frisco.

While winter weather gives us many reasons to stay indoors and retreat to the warmth and comforts of home, the folks in Aspen & Snowmass have a different idea.  Travel to these Western Colorado towns and it’s quickly apparent why winter weather is not only an incentive to get outdoors, but is also reason to celebrate in the glamorous fashion that makes Aspen and Snowmass famous.

The Glamour, On and Off the Slopes: It’s no secret that Aspen has been called Colorado’s Hollywood.  While designer shops, trendy hotels, and spectacular nightlife create the scene in the town of Aspen, it’s the mountain itself that is truly glamorous.  With 673 acres of skiable terrain, 76 technical trails specifically groomed for advanced and expert skiers, and some of the best ski conditions in all of Colorado, it’s clear that Aspen stands out among the best of Colorado’s ski towns for several reasons.  First, the exclusive nature of Aspen is its blessing.  The mountain’s average of three people to each skiable acre isn’t a statistic you’ll find at many other ski resorts.  And, skiers reign supreme in Aspen.  While nearby Snowmass, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk are open to boarding, Aspen Mountain’s more advanced runs make it more of a draw for serious skiers.  And, for those who are truly serious, that’s just another reason to celebrate.  Additionally, Aspen’s prevalence of advanced and expert terrain keeps beginners at bay, meaning that you won’t have to fight crowds of children or beginners.  Translation: you can get down to business.

The Mystique: Sure, Aspen holds a reputation of being a posh, stylish community that is geared more toward the affluent skier.  While many visit Aspen due to these traits, Aspen is still just a small mountain community at heart.  In fact, Aspen holds dear to its small town roots, first established in 1947.  So, while you’re sure to find shopping and dining, you’re also guaranteed to witness a real Old West town filled with friendly people and stunning views.  The mountain literally rises from downtown and is surrounded by the beauty of White River National Park.  But, it’s not the beauty and the prestige alone that bring visitors to Aspen.  A season packed with winter events will keep you entertained from day into night.  As the host for the ESPN Winter X Games for the eighth year in a row, Aspen has proven that its average of three hundred inches of snow each year is dependable.  In addition to other competitions such as the Aspen/Snowmass Open and the Colorado Freeride Championship, Aspen also teams with Bud Light to host the free Hi-Fi Concert Series throughout the winter season.

The Limitless Opportunities: If you’re a skier, you certainly have options in Aspen and Snowmass.  Retreat from the groomed trails to be the first to ski untouched black and double-black diamond trails.  Or, pick from a palette of steep, bumpy, or tree-lined runs.  To mix things up, head to one of the other nearby mountains and multiply your ski terrain by three, choosing from trails at Snowmass, Buttermilk, or Aspen Highlands.  Of course, Aspen boasts plenty of activities that will occupy the non-skiers in your group as well, from snowshoeing to guided tours to nightly entertainment.

The Luxury: Chances are your travel plans bring you to Aspen because you truly want to get away in the luxury of a world-class ski resort.  The hustle and bustle of everyday life needs to be placed on the back burner, and there’s no better place to retreat than Aspen and Snowmass.  Plenty of Aspen vacation rental options offer accommodations that are not only affordable, but are also as luxurious and glamorous as the town itself.  Ski to lifts from Aspen condos, or relax by the fire in your mountain townhome.  If you have a bigger crew traveling to the area, consider renting a large Aspen vacation home that will include all the comforts of home and give you the additional amenities of a pool or hot tub.  Plus, make your trip to Aspen and Snowmass hassle-free and convenient.  Once you get to town, you’ll be able to rent all the services & equipment you need, from mobility scooter rentals, medical equipment for rent, Limousine Services, ski poles, and snowmobiles to baby equipment.  So, pack light and live the life of convenience in Colorado’s most exclusive mountain town.  But be warned: Aspen’s glamorous lifestyle has been known to be addictive.
