Long stays

The sunny destinations currently offered  in Florida and South Carolina and our new addition in The Algarve, Portugal, are ideal vacation spots with great weather and amenities to match any traveller’s interests, energy levels and lifestyles. The properties we use are as varied as our destinations. They all provide the space you need to relax and enjoy the swimming pool, whirlpool, or stop by the activity room to socialize with fellow guests. In general, the properties have kitchen facilities, elevators and guest laundry facilities.

In the U.S. destinations, there is a Sunshine Getaways Program Director who has put together welcoming and entertaining programs for your enjoyment and a schedule of social outings  including local special events. Weekly theatre shows, shopping trips, local museums, dining trips, and spring baseball are a few examples of the activities available. The activities offered change from week to week and depend on the season and location. Guests can also choose to just relax on the beach or sit by the pool and soak up the sun.

Our new long stay destination in Portugal does not  include shuttle transportation or a formal activity program, but there is a grocery store and many things to see and do within walking distance of the property.  Our on-site Sunshine Getaways representative will be available to answer questions and provide suggestions.

These trips are particularly good for solo travellers, since there are many opportunities to meet and enjoy the company of like-minded fellow guests.

Let us do the driving.

We recognize that air travel is not for everyone, so we offer a unique service.

Transportation is an important component of our Sunshine Getaways. We offer a unique motorcoach service to all of our sunny destinations in Florida and Myrtle Beach. Our luxury motorcoaches are equipped with a bunk enabling two drivers to alternately drive and sleep. This eliminates an overnight stay; however, we do stop for comfort breaks every 3-4 hours en route. Our friendly drivers help you through border crossings and restaurants stops. Below is how the schedule works:

Southbound Travel

Day 1: Morning departure

Day 2: Arrive at destination in afternoon

Northbound Travel

Day 1: Afternoon departure

Day 2: Arrive at home in evening

The Comfort of Coach Travel

A standard coach accommodates 56 passengers; however, we have removed seating and reconfigured them for your travel comfort, allowing for greater legroom so you can sit back and relax. Seating is subject to availability and is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Our luxury motorcoaches feature:

• Increased legroom
• Reclining seats
• Washroom onboard
• Entertainment system (bring your headsets to enjoy satellite radio and movies)
