Beach house rentals at top coastal resorts, such as picturesque southern California, make planning and enjoying a small family reunion easy and fun.
Thinking about a famiy reunion at the beach? If your family members are scattered between Portand, Maine and Portland, Oregon, as well as points in between, you may be planning a get-together at one convenient location to commemorate that special birthday or anniversary. Renting a house that will accommodate several generations under one roof is not only economical, it enables your extended family to spend time together and have privacy as well.

Tips for Planning Your House Rental
Once you’ve reviewed the “virtues” of each of my favorite destinations, discuss them with other family members, determine how convenient they will be for all parties, and decide whether you’re heading East or West. Then you can determine with other family members how many bedrooms and bathrooms everyone will need. (Most rental vacation homes have one or more sofabeds and roll-aways for extra kids.) Allow as much flexibility in your rental dates as possible.
Several real estate agents I interviewed for this story mentioned that since large rental homes (5-6 bedrooms) are rare, they are often booked far in advance. However, they also mentioned that many families register their homes for rental only after the January 1st deadline each year. That means you’ll have the most choices of rental homes if you call the recommended agents early in the year.
What’s Special About San Diego, California
San Diego is only three hours south of Los Angeles, but it’s a world apart in every other way.
The city’s cultural attractions, its Mexican heritage found at Old Town and the historic Mission San Diego de Alcala, its world-renowned zoo in Balboa Park; and the Victorian-era resort at Coronado provide many sightseeing opportunities above and beyond the lush sand beaches.
Visit nearby Mission Bay to stroll the boardwalk, take rides in the amusement park and visit Sea World. If anyone in your family is a “LegoManiac,” don’t pass up LegoLand in Carlsbad. San Diego is the kind of destination which offers something for everyone in the family.
Contacts & Reunion Planning Resources
There is a wealth of information available at no charge from the San Diego Convention & Visitor Bureau (800/350-6205 or 619/236-1212). Be sure to pick up maps as you’ll want to explore the area in detail.

This is such a true indicator of Barcelona and Spain in general. For the family vacation or longer term family travels Barcelona is just brilliant. The Spanish adore their children and have such a fabulous fun filled approach to sharing their enthusiasm that young visitors are thrilled and enchanted by the City and the country in general.

Tips about Required Documents For Travel With Minors are great!
maurice doyle: You should certainly be in touch with the airline's Customer Support staff to get a refund for any fees you paid to have an escort, if no one was provided. However, most of the airlines don't require an escort for a child that is 14 years old, even when changing planes, therefore they may not have broken any laws by not having one available.
What a fantastic article and most importantly website. This site is a fantastic tool for families who are beginning their vacations and who may require some support in their planning to cover specific needs.
Thank you. The information is very helpful and before receiving your email, I came to the same conclusion about limiting the trip to Rome and Sicily. You just gave me affirmation. I would love to go to Venice, but that'll will need to wait for another trip.
Thanks again,
Mindy

Costa Rica conjures images that I can relate to! The similarities to the beautiful island of Phuket are a reminder that we still have many Islands and locations that are thought to be paradise. The key is to care for the land and sea in order for all the benefit for ours and our childrens lifestyle.

Regardless of gender, good parenting is not unique to heterosexual couples. I think this is a fantastic breakthrough as committed couple or singles do make good parents.
I also recommend talking to others that have been to the place that you are going. They will have great ideas on what to see and what to avoid if you have children.
