I normally don’t sound an alarm for potential guests looking to book a Florida vacation rental unit. But I have to say…I’ve never seen anything like the guest demand that I’ve witnessed over the past two months.
People in America have decided that whatever the state of the pandemic, nothing is going to stop us from breaking out of our homes and heading for somewhere new, different…or just not where we’ve been living the last 18 months. Believe me, I’m there. (And no doubt why I’ve been cruising up and down the East Coast in my RV this summer!)
If you’re in this mindset (and I really hope you are!), I’m here to both welcome and warn you. First, the welcome: It’s been a glorious summer at Ponce Inlet and Anna Maria Island, where aside from a few rainy days in the aftermath of Hurricane Elsa, it’s been a beach lover’s paradise. Whether you want to veg out or pack your days with activities it’s totally your choice. You’re just one or two clicks away via Sandy Beach Vacay from locking in possibly the best vacation you’ve experienced in at least two years.
Okay, so now here’s the warning: Don’t wait until January to book your 2022 vacation. My winter and summer months are already almost filled up. There, I said it. This is a first for me, and no doubt a sign that everyone is just aching to get away.
You may be thinking: “Is it a good idea to book anything now, given the possibility of a virus resurgence in the fall or next year?” I’d just like to assure you that all of the health recommendations and enhanced cleaning protocols that I put into effect at the start of the pandemic, are still in and have become my standard protocol. There’s no substitute for safety first, especially when it comes to caring for friends, family and each of my guests.
Speaking of family, I’m delighted to report that Jessica, my niece, was finally able to tie the knot with David, her beloved, earlier this month. We RV’d from Florida up to New Jersey for the event.
Aren’t they lovely?
Sadly the pandemic forced her to delay the ceremony and reception last fall, but happily, we were all able to come together and celebrate this wonderful occasion. It was so very special.
If you have a special reason to celebrate something next year, (or even if you don’t), now is the time to start living the dream by taking the first step and booking a unit for the summer or fall of 2022 now.
Something to look forward to! Isn’t it always better that way?
Stay well…and stay safe!
Sandy
I’ve written before about the advantages of renting a condo unit versus going to a hotel (Why Condos Are Better.). I was in a hotel not too long ago, and I have to say, everything that I believe about condos being a better option still holds true.
