Forever
Houseboats Offers Families a Unique Vacation Filled with Relaxation and
Recreation
Scottsdale,
AZ – August 2011 – Forever Resorts
invites families across the country to experience an entirely different
vacation anytime of the year. Houseboating, an old vacation idea, popular
with many families in the 60’s, has now been revised into a great getaway
to reconnect with family and enjoy a relaxing, stress free vacation. Now
there’s one vacation that will please children, looking for fun-filled
days, and their parents who seek a restful getaway. Houseboating brings
families together in a unique, bonding experience.
Forever
Resorts (www.ForeverHouseboats.com),
the respected leader in houseboat vacation rentals, has modernized the
houseboat of today to include many comforts you’d expect to find in a vacation
home; TV, stereo, gas grill, full kitchen, queen bedrooms, bathrooms, linens,
towels and central air conditioning and heat. Plus, one feature not usually
found in vacation homes – a waterslide off the upper deck!
The
experience of houseboating goes beyond just the boat. It has become a tradition
with many, which weaves the commonplace vacation into vivid memories. From
exploring the serenity of the lake to the excitement of playing captain
of your own boat, a houseboat vacation provides an outdoor adventure that
allows you to reconnect, relax and spend quality time with each other.
When
Forever Resorts asked recent vacationers their favorite part about houseboating,
the company received many answers. But one commonality rang true; families
revealed houseboating is truly a magical experience and they plan on returning
to have that vacation experience again and again.
