5 Things to Look For in Your Next Romantic Vacation Getaway to the Central Coast (and we provide at Wild Hair Retreats).

Life is hectic and harried. We all need to plan “vacation getaways”, regular times when we hop off life’s treadmill and escape for some rest and relaxation. Even just a couple nights can do a body and soul so much good!  

The stunning Central Coast of California is an extraordinary place to do just that! Hotels are crowded, meh, and expensive. A much better option is short term vacation rentals just like we provide at Wild Hair Retreats.

Whether you go the hotel route or opt for a short term vacation rental, what kind of experience should you look for and expect?    Here are 5 non-negotiable expectations for your next romantic vacation getaway to the Central Coast.

  1. Hassle-Free Self Check In and a Personal Welcome

    When I getaway on a vacation, I’m looking for less social interaction, not more.  I don’t want to stand in a hotel lobby while a guy noodles on his computer while I wait.  I want a unique check in code that I can use on a keypad.  I want to check in quickly and easily at my convenience and on my own timing. I also want to be personal welcomed.  I want to be seen as a unique and special guest, not just a number.  

    You should expect the same! 

  2. Clean, beautifully designed spaces.

    I’m not interested in the crammed, sterile run-of-the-mill hotel room.  I’m interested in warm, unique spaces with a sense of design and flare.  I want to see the loving care and personal touches of  And did I mention clean?  Nothing is worse then arriving at your vacation space and discovering it has not been cleaned well.  Ugh!  The vacation getaway I stay at must be CLEAN.  

    You should expect the same! 

  3. A digital welcome guide with local favorites and recommendations.

    When I vacation in a new, unfamiliar area, I need a head start . . . a local guide!  Cut to the chase and direct my steps!   Don’t make me figure it out.  Guide me to the best local secret spots.   Where can we get the best coffee?  The best pizza.  Which wineries should we visit?  What is the best local hike?  Where should hit the beach?  Anything else we should see or do while we’re here?   You get the idea.  This is what I want when I getaway on vacation.  

    You should expect the same! 

  4.  Lots of stand out amenities.

    When I getaway on vacation I want to be PAMPERED.   The space I stay in should be special and a slight step up from home. For starters, I need a welcome gift, fun outdoor spaces, good coffee and coffee maker, plush towels, a well equipped kitchen, some food basics in the cupboard, a phone charger, a beautiful view.    You get the idea!  

    You should expect the same! 

  5.  Peace and Quiet, Rest and Rejuvenation

    When I getaway on a vacation, I’m looking to chill and unwind.  I’m looking to retreat and escape from the craziness of my normal life.  I want to kick back, sleep in and hang out.  Wide open, quiet, natural spaces help me do that.  This is what I need in a vacation. 

    You should expect the same! 

Why compromise?  Why settle for less?  

If all this resonates with you and you’re looking for these same 5 things when you getaway on a vacation, then Wild Hair Retreats is definitely for the vacation escape for you.  We’d love to host you.  What are you waiting for?  Come stay awhile!
