Calgarians nurture old-world Caribbean hideaway
When Calgary real estate consultant George Reti and wife Marilyn purchased East Winds Inn in April 2006, they did so with a purpose: preserving and enhancing one of St. Lucia's few remaining resorts of bygone days and protecting the five-hectare oceanfront property from modern, large-scale development.
Earl Could Force Evacuations Ahead Of Labor Day
A powerful Hurricane Earl threatened to sideswipe much of the East Coast just ahead of Labor Day, worrying countless vacationers who planned to spend the traditional last week of summer at the beach.
Wisconsin Dells. This small Wisconsin town offers a great winter vacation at the Great Wolf Lodge, home of huge indoor water parks. Great Wolf Lodge is a popular destination for families.

New England. One of the most historical areas in the United States, New England is where the country was founded.

Consider ongoing maintenance. How will you keep the house up if you're not there all the time, particularly if it's subject to a wide variety of weather conditions?
Factor in the cost of hiring a local individual or service to look after the property in your absence.

Check with the HOA, if there is one, for any restrictions on renting out your property. You may be limited in the amount of time the property can be occupied by someone else.
Look out for Uncle Sam, who gets into the act too: If you make a vacation home available for rent for more than 14 days in a year, the IRS categorizes it as an
income property rather than a residence. You'll be paying taxes on the net rental income after expenses, which could bump you into the next tax bracket.

The lure of the Caribbean is difficult to resist, and it looks like you’ve finally given up on doing so any longer. Following one’s instincts to paradise is a good thing; you know a trip out of town is deserved and a little sunshine and pampering will only improve your overall health, attitude and productivity for when you return. Stop denying yourself one of life’s greatest pleasures: settling into a vacation home in top-quality destination like Grand Cayman.
Most people who are familiar with Grand Cayman know that Seven Mile Beach is the feather in its cap. This stretch of shoreline (that’s actually not quite seven miles) has been consistently voted one of the best beaches in the Caribbean by various publications and unofficial beach judgers alike due to the clear water, white sand and welcoming amenities. Visit for sure, but if you’re really dedicated you can actually rent a vacation villa right on this coveted landmark. Wake up, walk out the door and enjoy a day of world class swimming, lounging and snorkeling, as easy as that.
This vacation rental has more than just proximity going for it. A tropical décor lightens the mood, lots of beds, closets and dressers make life easier, TV and internet can keep up a connection to the world (but most people choose to ignore these), a kitchen lets you keep snacks on hand, and a daily maid service ensures that no one is stuck keeping it all intact while everyone else frolics on the beach. Add in some extra towels and linens and a screened lanai for good measure and you’re on your way to understanding why well-informed travelers choose set ups like this one.
