As parents of four very active children ages 6-15, and as the owner of a nationwide company, my wife and I travel a lot for both work and pleasure. We personally own vacation homes in Cabo San Lucas and Lake Tahoe. We purchased our Cabo home in ’97, and learned quickly that it is extremely time-consuming and draining to own and manage the house internationally. When a friend of ours mentioned Parallel (Solstice prior to the merger of Parallel & Solstice), my wife and I figured that it would be a great time to sell our Mexico home to create more personal freedom and zero management headaches and hassle. That decision turned out to be a perfect one for us. We have now visited five of the Solstice homes and are extremely excited about spending our upcoming Spring Break on the Solstice I yacht. My family is really looking forward to cruising through the Virgin Islands next week.

Through the 45-day spontaneous use policy of Solstice, we are able to conveniently and easily plan last minute trips, as well as long-term trips, on a regular basis. All of our stays at the Solstice homes have been incomparable, starting with the convenience of having an SUV parked in each home’s garage ready for our family outings, down to the tiniest detail, in that the homes are immaculately cleaned and exceedingly well maintained. Each one offered incredible views and off-the-charts interior design work with all the comfortable amenities you could possibly need. I could honestly write paragraphs of how cool it is that the Destination Manager meets and greets you, takes you on a complete tour of the property, teaches you the nuances of the Audio Visual equipment, the HVAC system, etc. and checks on you (by phone) on a daily basis to make sure that your every need is being met. Most of the times we are in residence, especially when we are visiting with other couples, we’ve chosen to dine in, in order to take full advantage of the extraordinary homes.

In addition to the outstanding selection of vacation homes, having your own personal Solstice Lifestyle Specialist makes designing your total travel package easy and convenient, from scheduling in-home massage therapy or personal yoga instruction, to making dinner reservations and providing well-researched, highly informed recommendations of where to go and what to see. Solstice offers it all. Through Solstice we are now fully committed to selling our Cabo vacation home and wholly utilizing the Solstice properties.
