With the current sad state of the economy people are still wanting to get away for a little relaxation. There are plenty of unique places to stay , from treehouses to yurts, but some vacation rentals have a more offbeat amenity: secret rooms and hidden passages. Southern Maine is the perfect vacation spot: Not only does it have beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained beaches, it also has numerous coastal towns filled with shops and restaurants.

We’ve been planning mystery vacations since 2009 and have been featured in , the Oprah Magazine, the Washington Post travel section, USA Today, and View from the Wing. In your Santa Barbara vacation rental you won’t ever have to wait in line for parking, the check-in line in the lobby or all the other places you can get crushed by a thousand fellow hotel guests.

In Spain’s top island destinations, Alua Hotels & Resorts offer modern, unique and fun beach holidays. If Americans took all of the vacation they were entitled to instead of leaving days on the table every year, it would result in an additional 580 million more days of travel per year—a $160 billion boost to the economy.

Guests will have access to the resort’s private catamaran. This stretch of beach remained a vacation secret for many years and runs from Cancun in the north to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum in the south. Christmas in Cornwall is a wonderful time from twinkling festive harbour lights to Santa arriving by lifeboat in St Ives, it’s a holiday filled with a stocking full of memories that will last a lifetime.

Secluded beaches, lush rainforest, endless water sports opportunities and family-friendly resorts make it a good choice for families. I have stayed in two other vacation houses, both of them near the ocean, but this is the nicest, cleanest home we have ever stayed in. It is beautifully decorated.
