CoastRentals Beach Vacation Blog

The demographic of travelers that choose vacation rentals is typically a little more geared towards weeklong, large party vacations.  Business persons (PC right?) busily spinning the wheel and looking to climb the corporate ladder may be more inclined to stay at a hotel, but as awareness of the benefits of choosing a vacation rental (space, privacy, no additional internet fees) spreads we expect more Assistant Euphemism Managers to be staying at properties listed here on CoastRentals.com.

As such, I think it’s important to give a shout out to those guys and remind them that it’s important that when you do decide to take a break and head to a beach house, that you leave work behind.  An interesting polar set of events has been happening in the past 5 years that has seen us be more “connected” at all times of the day than ever, yet at the same time the workforce as a whole showing a desire to maintain balance between their work life and their personal life.

Yes, you can bring along the Treo or the BlackBerry and madly hit “Send/Receive” while all the splendors of your destination pass you by.  Not much of a vacation though.  Heading to the beach is supposed to be the time to ‘get away from it all’.  That’s why you dropped the G+ to go there during one of the very few weeks you have off each year.  Forgot the guys at the office, let them deal with work.

I know that doesn’t sound like the way to get ahead at the old workstead, but spending your vacation checking back on the laptop or your Treo every hour is a waste.  If you’re overly concerned about moving up in your company then stay at home.  Leave the beach to the people that are ready to embrace it.
