Our little girls are the best road trippers ever! Give them a soft bed, one squeeker toy each and one piece of doggie jerky and they are good to roll for hours. Peanut (the black and white fluffer we rescued almost two years ago) LOVES to hang her head out the window and let her hair blow in the wind. Munchkin (the all black one) is a travelin' trooper. She's been on numerous airplanes going here and there and it always up for jumping in the car and going for a joyride. Snapped this photo over the weekend and just had to share it! Aren't they adorable!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Angie and Jason

Ahhhhh....island dreamin'

We took this snapshot in Grand Cayman while sitting on out on the back-deck of our vacation rental. The colors were amazing and illuminated the sky over several anchored sailboats scattered along Seven Mile Beach. We couldn't take our eyes off of it, so we sat back and enjoyed and raised our glasses to toast Mother Nature.

Hope you enjoy a little island dreamin' time too!

Have a wonderful day,

Angie and Jason

Fun | vacation rental, keeping it real, trust

June 30. 2009 06:30 By: angie@vacaconnect.com

Hi everyone!

Jason and I just got back last week from the trip of a lifetime! We flew to Grand Cayman on the 14th of June and were married on June 16th in a magical ceremony at the Grand Old House in Grand Cayman. After the ceremony, we all dined under the stars with our closest family and friends. It truly was the most special evening we could have ever imagined!

And of course we have to mention that we all stayed in vacation rentals for the trip and everyone loved it! Between us all, we had a five bedroom home and five 3-bedroom condos all located along Seven Mile Beach. Everyone had a blast scuba diving, riding jet skiis, visiting Sting Ray City, the Butterfly Farm....and the list goes on and on. If you haven't been to Grand Cayman yet...trust me that it is a WONDERFUL vacation destination!

Thanks to everyone here on VacaConnect for continuing to send us your thoughts and ideas. Look forward to the new themed sites....they are making their big debut just around the corner! We'll be sending emails very soon asking each owner which four themed sites they would like to be added. Thanks everyone! Have a wonderful week - Angie Volk :)

Hi everyone!

We are so excited our first set of print advertisements came out almost two weeks ago and we've seen a great increase in traffic and lots of interest! Great news!! We are still working around the clock on getting more bookings for all that are listed on the site. It's been LOTS of work but also LOTS of fun!

We'd love to hear about any bookings you have received. We have no way of knowing if you received a booking, so your input would be wonderful! Shoot us an email when you can! That would be wonderful. angie@vacaconnect.com or jason@vacaconnect.com We are going to start posting the great bookings people are receiving on the site. Looking forward to more great stories!!

We are now LIVE with http://www.vacaconnect.de/  , http://www.vacaconnect.co.uk/ and http://www.vacacionesconectan.com/ . All listings are automatically put up on those extra sites for free! We are in the works of getting the themed vacation sites up too! Look forward to www.skivacaconnect.com www.beachvacaconnect.com and many, many more! All owners will have the option of choosing up to four themed sites to be on as well. Everyone will be on 8 sites for no extra charge! We're so thrilled to be able to make this happen. Big thanks to the beautiful design of the site by Beyond Digital and the incredible development team at Element Code, both located in Dallas, TX, for making our dreams a reality!

Cheers!

Angie and Jason

Hi everyone!

Wow! It's been such an exciting time around here at VacaConnect! We are growing and continuing to spread the word to the traveling community on the absolutely fabulous benefits of renting a vacation rental!

We have our first print ad coming out in May in a Houston entertainment publication that is distributed amongst the best restaurants, night spots, coffee shops, etc. etc. It's a publication picked up by thousands every month and a great audience to get the word out. The big TRAVEL issue comes out in May and we're looking forward to the response we get on the site. We'll keep you all posted!

Truth | vacation rental, keeping it real, trust | Fun

March 10. 2009 12:37 By: angie@vacaconnect.com

Hi everyone,

The last Vacation Rental we stayed in knew we were bringing our two little fluffy dogs with us and low and behold...they were dog lovers too and actually left a nice cushy doggie bed in the house for us. How nice! Our little rescue dog Peanut sure took full advantage of her temporary kingdom as you can see!

 

 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........................

Thanks so much to VR owners Pam and Don! Another reminder to all of us vacation rental owners....it really is the little things in life...Make someone else smile with a small gesture of warmth.

Truth | vacation rental, keeping it real, trust

March 3. 2009 07:10 By: angie@vacaconnect.com

Hi everyone,

Keeping it Real Series: Part 4 

Peaceful vacation rental perfect for relaxing!

This vacation home offers guests the peace and serenity they desire while still being just a few minutes to the bustling city. 

Enjoy a night on the town at the numerous world-renowned restaurants and bars and come back to your vacation rental for a peaceful night's sleep. Awake refreshed and renewed for another fun day of vacation!

 

While the description is nice... IT'S WRONG! Notice the lovely railroad tracks running just outside the frontdoor. Peaceful? Not so much!  

Let's list our properties like they are so we can continue to establish trust in our industry!

Keep it real, Jason & Angie

Travel Quote of the Day

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – – Cesare Pavese
