San Diego A Staycation Paradise! Vacation Rentals Offer Relaxation With All Of the Comforts Of Home

PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 13, 2009 -
While many housing analysts predict that the most hard-hit areas of the country, such as Sacramento and San Diego, will be among the first to recover, it does not mean that it is going to happen overnight.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, and San Diego falls into play here with its incredible bargains, which exist on weekly Ocean Front, Bay Front, and Beach Front Summer Vacation Rentals in San Diego.  Rates have dropped to lows that have not been seen in years providing tremendous value to consumers---especially those who plan to do a ‘staycation’ right here in their local area of sensational San Diego.

Experts say it is not uncommon for overscheduled families to choose a ‘staycation,’ whereby a couple or family remains close by to the home front and takes day trips to area attractions.  To create the feel of a traditional vacation, some staycationers prefer to set a start and end date, reserve an economical place nearby to obtain the feeling of “getting away,” plan activities, and avoid routine.

AAA Vice President Mark Brown says the slowing economy and high fuel prices have pushed some Americans to what we call the traveling tipping point.  “It is clear that a number of us may choose to stay close to home and relax with family and friends rather than take an out-of-town vacation.”

From 1995 to 2006, vacation rental property rates had increased every year.  In 2008, we finally observed an approximate 10% drop in vacation rental rates for direct waterfront property.  And presently, in 2009, many property rates have dramatically decreased from 20% to 35%!  You can now rent Ocean Front and Bay Front Properties for up to 35% less than the rental rates of last year.  This is quite an economical steal for a family watching their dollars, yet needing a break from the fast pace of life.

According to Kristie McLean, a life coach in Seattle, Washington, “Economics aside, staying at your home town for a vacation can be enormously restorative and transformative and fits much, much better into a lot of peoples’ schedules and logistics.”

The freedom of taking time off from work to enjoy life at a home town or local vacation rental property can be intoxicating---no packing, no airport delays, and no backseat chants of “Are we there yet?”  But do not forget it is supposed to be “a vacation.”  How many closets do you clean when you go on vacation?  So a good way to deliberately avoid the lure of household chores, checking work e-mails, or going back to work just as tired as when you left is by finding a clean, affordable, and pleasant San Diego vacation rental property with a water front view locally to reside in---to wisk you away from the everyday, mundane routine of life…an affordable break from life’s responsibilities, a way to re-vitalize and re-charge your battery!  Why not rent a local San Diego Beach Front Property for an away-from-home getaway, yet close to home vacation???

People worldwide enjoy all the pleasures of San Diego that we sometimes take for granted.  Have you noticed that the only time you take in the local attractions is when you have visitors?  It is easy to forget that San Diego is a Vacation Paradise to many!  

For young kids, some of the simplest things create the best ‘staycation’ memories.  Have you visited the New Children’s Museum located near the Amtrak Station at Santa Fe Depot?  It has activities of interest from toddlers to teens, or how about the Firehouse Museum in the Little Italy area of downtown San Diego?  The Birch Aquarium at Scripps has exhibits to enthrall children and adults alike.

Summer freebies include: 55th Annual World Championship Over-the-Line Tournament, on July 11-12 and 18-19, at Fiesta Island on Mission Bay www.ombac.org, or the Annual U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition, July 18-19, at Imperial Beach Pier.  Check out the World Body Surfing Championships, August 22-23, at Oceanside Beach and Pier www.worldbodysurfing.org.  If you like to get starry-eyed, you can star gaze outside the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center on the first Wednesday of each month as members of the San Diego Astronomy Association set up huge telescopes for ‘Gazin with the Experts.’  The free Organ Concerts at Spreckals Organ Pavilion, Balboa Park, on Monday evenings, June 22-August, will bring music to your ears.  Or if you prefer something ‘fishy,’ the San Diego Fly Fishers Club offers free fly-fishing lessons, Sunday mornings, from 9a.m. to noon, at Lake Murray in La Mesa.

So what are you waiting for?  Paradise is minutes away---just let your fingers do the walking to the nearest computer keyboard or telephone to check out the phenomenal bargains on San Diego vacation rentals.  Surfs up, sun is shining, and waiting for you!!
