Plan a Gulf Coast Winter Vacation, and Plan to Get in Shape

It’s that wonderful time of year again—time for giving, time for visiting with friends and family, and time for indulging in one of the season’s best offerings: holiday treats.

With all the delicious dishes served this season, indulgence is common practice for many of us right now, followed by the common New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get in shape. Plan a January trip to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach and you can start that resolution off right with the 2013 Gulf Coast Half Marathon Series on January 13th. This 13.1-mile run is an excellent way to motivate yourself back into a healthy, fit frame of mind. Plus you’ll get to enjoy some spectacular Gulf Coast views and a post-race party at LuLu’s at Homeport.

It’s a good reason to plan a Gulf Shores & Orange Beach vacation, and planning a vacation in the area is easy enough, thanks to Gulf Shores vacation rental companies like Meyer Vacation Rentals, a sponsor of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission.

This company rents a variety of Gulf Shores & Orange Beach condominiums and beach houses. Finding the perfect beach accommodations is easy enough—simply visit the Meyer Vacation Rentals website and perform a search according to arrival and departure dates, accommodations type (condo or house), view, specific location, and even specials.

And speaking of specials, the company’s big special right now is 50% off a four-night stay in December. With this type of savings, why wait until January? Book that Gulf vacation and head down this month instead. (You might even make it in time for the Gulf Shores Christmas Basketball Tournament on December 20th – 22nd!)
