Santa Barbara Series: San Ysidro Ranch
Admittedly, San Ysidro Ranch was the coup de gras for me. I have been wanting to visit this resort for decades! Ever since I learned about the Kennedy’s honeymooning in this Uber romantic location, I was obsessed with the thought of hidden resorts along the California coast. Then clients telling me about The Stonehouse for dining…let’s just say I was not disappointed. At all. In fact, it was my absolute favorite spot. The compound is just so overwhelmingly aesthetically pleasing, I felt like I couldn’t take it all in. Gorgeous food and flowers and foliage. The cottage chic decor. The subtle glam of old money. I just loved this place. I also learned that Winston Churchill would also seek refuge here, enough times they named a cottage after him. Oh, and do not worry, my son was not served alcohol…it was a smoked “mocktail” which he now requests at all fancy dining locations we take him to. Of course, he is greeted with a blank stare because most places he’s been are just not on the same playing level as the Stonehouse.
@sanysidroranch is perfect for a romantic getaway, solo soul searching, quiet mornings, celebratory lunches, a family retreat with young adult children
San Ysidro Ranch is a Virtuoso property. In addition to the excellent service, dining and ambiance you will already receive, there’s a few more perks involved when booking through RSMLVTRAVEL.

Santa Barbara Series: Ritz-Carlton Bacara
We really enjoyed the @ritzcarltonbacarasb. The property is expansive and has so much to offer a wide range of guests. I loved the bungalow we were in which had its own fire pit and grassy area. The rooms are spacious with well-appointed amenities. Families fill the spaces of outdoor lawn games and the pool. There is a beautiful stretch of beach and tho we did not have beach service, we still enjoyed exploring the coastline. The resort is in the process of a refresh to offer a more modern aesthetic with blues and creams to play off the ocean vibe. Dining options are great and there’s a Havana Cigar Lounge and live music to keep things interesting. I would suggest the Ritz-Carlton Bacara for families and celebrations.
Santa Barbara Series: Rosewood Miramar Beach
🖤🤍🌺
Perfect For: Families, Couples, Getaway Trips with Friends, Celebration Trips
This was hands down my kids’ favorite out of all the properties we visited. A hideaway snuggled into the chic little town of Montecito, the Rosewood is positioned perfectly on the beach, full of vibrant colors but sophisticated airs. The energy was contagious. We could hear the live music and laughter from The Manor while we dined outdoors under the cabana stripped umbrellas at The Revere Room. Between the celeb sightings, the Bocce ball and the gourmet PB&J, the boys couldn’t get enough.
What I Love: The goop store is fun! I loved all the splashes of colors throughout the resort , the bungalows, and surprisingly, the charm the train tracks lend to the overall aesthetic.
Rosewood Miramar is a Virtuoso property and Rosewood Elite which means luxury amenities and VIP treatment I pass on to you when we book your stay with #RSMLVTravel
Nothing more satisfying than sending clients off in style and knowing you have a trusted partnership with one of the best in the biz when it comes to chartering private air.
I am big on supporting local…no matter the destination. Shout out to @thehendersoncheeseco to get my charcuterie “on board on time”.
Also…so fun to work with someone I’ve known for most of my life! It’s what happens when you grow up in a small town like Vegas. 🤩 🤗
Upgraded to a fab suite…which I don’t plan on leaving for the next two days.
Who wants to go to the @fsorlando? 🙋🏻♀️
This is a resort I had always wanted to stay at with my kids, and a resort I would return to over again, with or without them.
Generous sized rooms, even with a double queen, ours overlooked the Golddn Oak residences, and the bathroom, separate shower/tub, two sinks…with three teen-agers, was a necessity!
The resort is a destination in itself and a perfect option to distract the kiddos from another day at the park. Water slides, lazy river, basketball, tennis and pickleball courts, lounging areas, arcade room, game room, and activities galore will allow you to relax by the pool or indulge in the spa for a day. Signature golf courses and remarkable dining options with rooftop fireworks views…why go anywhere else?
When ready to venture into the parks, Four Seasons Orlando has a Disney concierge to assist with tickets, walk you through the Genie+, help with dining and any other questions or concerns you may have. The resort also offers daily complimentary shuttles back and forth to all four parks.
The spa offers an experience to transform into a Disney princess for the day, while mom and dad transform back into humans.
The Four Seasons Orlando is expanding and you can reap in the immediate benefits by booking a Golden Oak view that comes with additional amenities during construction.
A true luxury experience for Disney goers. Reach out for more ways to VIP your Disney World trip.

Forgot how much I love Chicago. And wondering why I have not brought my kids here! Needless to say, already planning a trip with them for next summer. Such a gorgeous architectural city steeped in history, art, culture, sports, and amazing food!!
Had a short and sweet visit and was able to see @pendrychicago in the stunning Carbide and Carbon building (inspired by a champagne bottle), the newly renovated @fschicago (with a DJ booth in the lobby bar and beachside service from Memorial to Labor Day on Lake Michigan), and lunched at @stregischicago who not only recently celebrated their 1st anniversary but now tout honors of housing the Most Beautiful Restaurant in Illinois and the tallest building designed by a female architect. The views were beyond stunning every which way you looked!
Chicago is a special treat if you’re looking for a getaway this summer. The River Walk expansion, museums galore, baseball, hot dogs (even fancy ones!) and fireworks over the Pier!
Let’s plan your Chicago summer adventure! 🎡⚾️ 🚢

What is Sargassum?
“Sargassum is a genus of brown algae that floats in island-like masses in the world's temperate and tropical oceans. It's found in shallow water, coral reefs, and the open ocean, and provides food, refuge, and breeding grounds for many marine animals, such as turtles, crabs, shrimp, fish, and seabirds.”
Often found on beaches in the Caribbean, take a look at my videos to get a closer look. Second video in comments!
The @nobuloscabos is a gorgeous property located on the world renoun @diamantecabosanlucas golf course. More chill vibe with spacious rooms and excellent views of the expansive beach front. Three pools…Pacific(to reflect water of the Pacific Ocean), Cortez (to reflect the water of Sea of Cortez, and the Adult Pool, Nami, with some of the most impressive cabanas I’ve seen. A fun rooftop bar scene, and of course, Nobu. One of the most consistent dining experiences I have ever had no matter where I am in the would. Nobu is always delicious.
