Unused vacation days? Is that even possible? According to the U.S. Travel Association, it is. More than half of American workers (55%) are leaving vacation time on the table at the end of the year. That amounts to a total of 768 million unused vacation days. Y’all, that’s 768 million lost opportunities for Americans to relax, reconnect and recharge with the people that matter most. It’s time to reverse the trend and get back to using vacation days for vacation.
So, what’s the key to taking more of those breezy, beach lovin’ getaways? The answer is simpler than you might think. Planning.
If you like your main course with a little squeeze of lemon while on vacation, we’ve got good news for you. Galveston fishing spots are some of the best in Texas.
Even on the most relaxing vacations, there’s always a tiny bit of As the pandemic continues to persist into the late summer and fall months, many of us are adjusting to the “new normal” of working or attending classes from home. Whether you live in a big city where you can’t step out of your front door without a face mask, or you need something different from the same four walls you’ve been working remotely from for months — it’s getting to be time for a change.
Why not seize this opportunity and spend a month — or more! — on the gorgeous Texas Gulf Coast?
Even on the most relaxing vacations, there’s always a tiny bit of stress. What to pack, what to not pack, who will water the plants, what to do with the mail? It can be… a lot. One area that can be particularly stressful is what to do with the family pet during your vacay. If you’re anything like us, your four-legged friends are like family. And the thought of leaving them behind in the care of a crowded kennel or a strange pet sitter is — well, kinda horrifying.
That’s where BeachBox comes in.
2020 has been quite the year, and we’re all about ready for a vacation right now. BeachBox wants to help one lucky winner relax and refresh with a $1,000 credit to use at our vacation rental homes in Galveston, Surfside, and Kemah, Texas.*
Chances are, your trip to the Texas Gulf Coast will be filled with magical memories and experiences. Our sandy beaches and ocean views are truly unforgettable. To remember your blissful time spent on our shores, you’ll want to grab a few souvenirs before you leave — and the Texas Gulf Coast is a great place to shop and explore.
There are so many reasons to visit the Texas Gulf Coast. Our pristine white sandy beaches, warm ocean waves, historic cities, and family-friendly attractions draw visitors from all over the world. Our unique location also means we do one other thing really, really well — food! From authentic Southern fare to mouthwatering Mexican, the restaurants on the Texas Gulf Coast are nothing short of spectacular.
It’s no secret that 2020 was tough on everyone. After a year like that, we at BeachBox think it’s a good idea to take a guilt-free break from the traditional, restrictive resolutions of years’ past. What better way to treat yourself than to tuck into a giant, flame-broiled patty piled high with some creative (or classic, if you prefer) toppings?
February is right around the corner, and love is in the air! It’s about time to start making plans for you and your sweetie this Valentine’s Day. What better way to show your better half some love than taking a trip to the Texas Gulf Coast?
Now it’s time to focus on one of our favorite meals — breakfast!
One of the perks of renting a BeachBox home is the fully-equipped kitchen that allows you to brew the morning coffee and flip some pancakes in your PJs. But sometimes there’s no substitute for going out for breakfast or brunch. Having someone serve you fluffy waffles, crisp bacon, fresh juice, and delicious hot coffee brewed to perfection is a vacation must-do. Join us as we take you on a tour of some of our favorite spots in Galveston to enjoy the most important meal of the day.
