What
to pack this April:
A
beach towel, sunglasses, SPF 30+, and your autograph book
If following
celebrities gives your trips luster,
here’s where
today’s hottest A-Listers are sunbathing this April
1.
Want to catch a glimpse of Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly sharing a Caribbean sunset and maybe even a
smooch? Book a vacation rental home on the island of
Anguilla at villa4vacation.com! When celebrities are on the run from the
paparazzi, they head to the teeny speck of an island in the British West
Indies. Only 35 square miles, but packed
with 33 beaches, Anguilla is synonomous with
celebrities like John Mayer, Sandra Bullock, and even Mariah Carey. Hey, maybe you can catch her there with her
twins sometime this spring!
Rumor has it that the best
beaches for sunbathing and
celebrity sightseeing are Barnes
Bay and Meads
Bay. These beaches surround the
Viceroy Anguilla - a distinctively luxurious Caribbean resort frequented by
Hollywood’s A-Listers. You don’t have to spend a pretty penny on
your Anguilla trip, either. You only
have to look like you did! Rent from an
array of rental villa homes directly by owner at villa4vacation.com that line Barnes
Bay and spend your days on the warm, powdery beaches, soaking in the amazing
views from there, checking out the unusual rock formations, and hoping to catch
a glimpse of Orlando Bloom!
Anguilla
vacation villas are home to some of the most elite beaches in the world,
and many thanks for those accolades go to Meads Bay. Meads Bay is one of the island’s most pure
shores. Once you feel the white, feather-soft
sand sift through your toes, you will understand why celebrities rush at the
first chance they get to visit Anguilla!

Next on the list of celebrity hideaways is not
much of a hideaway at all…
New
York City! Filming explodes in
Manhattan during springtime so many celebrities are already in the Big
Apple. On their hiatus, they take full
advantage of all that New York has to offer.
With the inordinate amount of passerbys,
Hollywood celebrities blend right in without being spotted by paparazzi, making
this the #2 hideaway rental with villa4vacation.com
for spring time retreats!
Rent
a New York apartment directly by owner at vill4vacation.com during the spring
and you will have access to more than you will even know. Tour Yankee stadium, walk Times Square, take
the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, enjoy a European-style café
on the streets of Little Italy, relax in Central Park and watch the trees
blossom, visit some of the finest spas in the world, or savor a cocktail on a
rooftop bar, overlooking all of Manhattan.
At least that is what Katy Perry, Russell Brand
and Shia LaBeouf enjoy when
they visit NYC.
Catch
Kelly Ripa load the family into the car in Manhattan
before whisking off to their Hamptons retreat or watch as Sarah Jessica Parker
glides through the throngs of New Yorkers on a shopping day that very much
looks like a scene from Sex in the City!
Spring
break does not always mean white, sandy beaches and pina
coladas. It is just a break from the
ordinary and New
York vacation rentals certainly are not ordinary!

When the pressures of everyday life have gotten
up to here for Gwyneth Paltrow , Chris Martin, and their children, it's Time 2 Cabo! Time for Los
Cabos, that is!
Los Cabos, located in Baja
Calfonia Sur, is seeing a growing number of
luxury resort properties popping up, all featuring a level of amentities and fine dining fit for Hollywood.
With about 360 days of sunshine
each year, celebrities and alike, are basically guaranteed sun, sand, and surf
whenever they travel to Los
Cabos and Cabo San Lucas vacation
homes from villa4vacation.com. No wonder Los Cabos
is surrounded by a majestic backdrop of extraordinary natural beauty; it is
kissed by the sun almost every day of the year!
And, it is a place where the striking desert landscape seamlessly flows
into the celebrated waters of the Sea of Cortés.
Home to award-winning hotels
and resorts, lined with villa rentals, waterfront beach rentals, championship
golf courses, luxurious spas, captivating nightlife, world-class fishing and
much more, it is no wonder George Clooney escapes from the paparazzi to
here!
You may not catch a glimpse of
Leonardo DiCaprio at Playa Medano
because it is in the heart of everything but it is certainly not a locale to be
missed. There is a bounty of bars,
restaurants, and water sports at Playa Medano along
with glistening waters. But, if you have
your heart set on catching Jennifer Aniston and her gal-pals on holiday, then Cabo is the perfect place to be. Jennifer Aniston visits Cabo
San Lucas so frequently she is considered an honorary citizen! Most are too busy trying to sneak a peek at
Gisele and Tom Brady or Paul McCartney to notice the grey whales rising
majestically in the ocean but they are there.
Villa4vacation.com’s Los
Cabo vacation rentals are where exhilaration and
serenity flourish in heavenly harmony!

The
island of Kauai,
Hawaii is beautiful in itself but when you travel to the southern part of
the island called Poipu,
it becomes clear how truly remarkable the island is. Just ask Ben Stiller, Pierce Bronson, Britney
Spears, and the ladies of Friends – Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, and Lisa Kodrow. You may even
get to see new couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez
sharing a Hawaiian Shaved Ice on their break from the mainland’s paparazzi!
Poipu, Hawaii vacation home rentals are perfect for
snorkeling, whale watching, and there are even free orchid gardens to
visit. Start your day with a fresh cup
of Kona coffee and head to Poipu Beach Park, recently named one of
America's best beaches. Explore Spouting
Horn (a blowhole that releases a 20 foot spout of water in the air) in the
afternoon. Tour the two National
Tropical Botanical Gardens afterwards, and see the world's largest collection
of Hawaiian plants at McBryde Garden and witness the
giant Moreton Figs made famous in the movie "Jurassic
Park" at Allerton Garden. And, the next day, after touring the Kauai
Coffee farm, drive through the Tree Tunnel from Poipu, to Old Koloa Town. There is a stretch
of Maluhai Road lined with eucalyptus trees first
planted over a 100 years ago!
Hawaii is not just about pineapples, luais and surfing, and Kauai
is the perfect example of that. And,
after all that sightseeing, stop by Lappert's Ice Cream for some Kaui
Pie Cream. You never know, you could be
behind Drew Barrymore while she orders her Pineapple-Coconut cone! If you are lucky enough to pass by Josh
Holloway, do this blogger a favor and ask him, “What really happened to the people
of Oceanic Flight 815?”

Los
Angeles, California is rated among the top five cities in the world, and
received more than a hundred million visitors, so it’s not surprising that LA
is also one of the hottest shopping destination attracting worldwide
tourists. It's hard to find good
statistics to identify shopping locations most favored by celebrities in LA,
but based on overall number of celebrity visitors pulled from anywhere that can
found, the most popular celebrity shopping destinations include Melrose Avenue,
Rodeo Drive, and Sunset Strip, and Beverly Boulevard.
Rihanna,
Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez are among the younger celebrities
that can be seen taking in some much needed retail therapy on Melrose Avenue in
Hollywood. Melrose Avenue is one of the
trendiest shopping strips, especially the western stretch between La Cienega Blvd and Fairfax. Between La Brea Ave. and Fairfax
Ave the crowd gets younger, the shops funkier and cheaper, but it's still a lot
of fun, with abundant opportunities to lighten your wallet.
Considered the most famous
shopping district in America, and probably the most expensive three blocks of
shops in the world, the stretch of shops and boutiques on Rodeo Drive is
only three blocks long. It begins at Wilshire Boulevard on the south, and runs
north to Santa Monica Boulevard. The
stores on Rodeo Drive give even Hollywood elite, like Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore, and even Nicole Kidman a run for their money!
The cost of your Beverly
Hills vacation home rental may be the same as the price tag on that vintage
Dolce Gabbana t-shirt you found on the Sunset Strip,
but the chance of catching a glimpse of Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan or Reese Witherspoon often browsing the racks for the
latest pieces, makes it all worth it.
The Sunset Strip is the name given to the mile and a half stretch of
Sunset Boulevard that passes through West Hollywood in Los Angeles. The Strip
is probably the best known portion of Sunset, embracing a premier collection of
boutiques not to be missed!
Want to catch Drew Barrymore
and Julia Roberts out for a day of shopping?
Don’t spend your day on a tour of celebrity homes. Instead, window shop along Beverly Boulevard. A quieter, more sophisticated cousin to its
northern neighbor Melrose, this sleepy street features an eclectic array of
stores.
Whether you travel to a Caribbean
vacation rental home directly by owner or rent a New York City high rise
apartment, trying to spot celebrities is easier than you think. Rule number one for spotting celebrities on
your spring break is to do “stuff”. When
you step out of your Spring
Break vacation home this April, don’t sit outside a rumored hot spot for
your favorite celeb, get out there and rollerblade
in Santa
Monica, parasail
in St. Lucia, or walk
the lava trails on the Big Island of Hawaii. And, if all else fails, go to coffee
shops! For some reason, celebrities just
really, really like coffee!
