Summer is upon us and we are 100% here for it! 

It feels like the first half of the year was such a whirlwind and we are soaking up the kids being out of school and all of the outdoor fun that summer offers…bike rides, walks & pool days. A little bit slower days and sleepier mornings is exactly what we as a family needed. 

Kicking our summer off right, we took an extended family vacation to 30A in Florida. If you are not familiar with it, it is a small highway (30A) between Destin & Panama City where small seaside towns have developed. Each little town has unique features and their own little charm such as the famous Airstream Row in Seaside or the white-washed Mediterranean style buildings in Alys Beach. We loved our stay in 30A as it was perfect for an extended family vacation…stunning beaches (I mean it!), a wide variety of restaurants & shops and most everything is walkable/bikeable (our favorite part). 

Most of 30A is made up of rental homes, however, there are a few boutique hotels such as WaterColor Inn, the only Virtuoso hotel in the area.  Check out our upcoming Hotel Spotlight on this special property on our Social Media:

Where Are Our Clients Now?

Summer = Travel

Now, more than ever, travel is booming! According to a recent Forbes survey:

 “Despite the challenges that came with traveling last year, Americans still intend to travel in 2023. A resounding 87% of survey respondents expect to travel at least as much as they did in the prior year, with 49% selecting that they expect to travel more.”

And we have felt the immense travel demand in 2023 (and we are loving it)!
