Spring Break? Book Now for a Luxury Vacation Rental

January 16, 2008. The Austin American-Statesman brought up a good point in a recent article entitled "Spring for a Break": Now is the time to be thinking about spring break plans.

Whether you are a student or faculty member, or just someone who likes to travel in the spring, there isn't much time to waste.

In Texas, for example, public schools and universities share a common spring break week, March 10-14, placing extra demand on popular getaways such as Galveston.

"A condo is a good bet for a family or for six or eight single breakers looking to share costs. The kitchen's handy, and large complexes can have lively pool scenes for socializing."

Or, the article states, consider a large house.

"A beach house with several rooms is perfect for a big, happy group in which everybody gets along (and that part's crucial)."

Florida's beaches will enjoy a sustained peak from March through April. Of course, for some people, that might mean adjusting dates to avoid the crowds.

If you're looking for something different, try Lake Havasu City in Arizona. Sitting on a namesake lake, the picturesque desert village has become especially popular with students from the Southwestern states. When visitors get tired of sunbathing and beach volleyball, they can stroll the English Village's shops and galleries or rent a jet ski for some adrenalin-packed fun.
