Turn Your Fountain Hills Home into a Stay at Home Vacation

Have you ever wanted to take a vacation, but just didn’t have the time to do it? Well, here are some ways to turn your Fountain Hills home into a stay at home vacation. Enjoying your home is important, but turning it into your own little sanctuary is even better.

With summer in full force this year, you should be able to enjoy it, from the comfort of your Fountain Hills home. There are many ways to relax in your own yard. A great way is to hang a hammock; it doesn’t matter if you have two perfect trees to use, or if you plant sturdy posts in your yard to hold it. Rocking back and forth, or just laying down to enjoy a good book, nothing says summer like a hammock.

Restoring your outdoor furniture is easy, and great for when you have company over. Looking at your furniture from last year you may see a vinyl strap missing, or a hole in the seat of a fabric chair, but all these repairs need is a quick trip to the fabric store to buy a simple piece of fabric, or a new strap to repair to chair.

Inviting friends and neighbors over for a barbecue at your Fountain Hills home is another excellent way to enjoy the summer at home. Installing what some call an outdoor kitchen is one way to do this, but another, simpler way is to install a low maintenance grill. While dining during the day, a wonderful idea to enjoy the weather without being beaten down by the sun is to put a simple cover over your table. Planting tall posts and attaching a sheet will create a cover for your table, but will also be sheer enough to enjoy the day.

Another addition to create a vacation feel at home is to install a bench. This bench can be stationary and placed in the front of back of the home, to just enjoy the silence after a long day. Or maybe you would prefer a swinging bench to hang from a front porch to sit and socialize with neighbors.

Creating your stay at home vacation is simple with these quick tips.

Hi, my name is Tina Nabers. Selling Real Estate in Fountain Hills is not a job for me, it's a lifestyle. I relocated with my family from Tempe, Arizona in 1973 and began working in what is now the oldest real estate office in Fountain Hills (Nabers Realty) in 1977. I have literally grown up in Fountain Hills since it began.

I am a full time Realtor and believe ongoing education is key to staying on top of the dynamics of the real estate industry. Besides taking the required 24 hours of education every 2 years, I like to take additional real estate classes to further expand my awareness of the changes occurring yearly in this industry. I currently hold the designations of Accredited Buyer Representative, Graduate of the Realtor Institute and have my e-Pro designation which is the National Association of Realtors Technology Certification Program.

With my dedication, knowledge and reliability, I have assisted hundreds of Buyers, Sellers, and Investors realizing their dream of owning real estate in Fountain Hills. I'm sure I can help you too! I know the market and the market trends, after all, I've lived thru a couple of them myself over the years! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE, WORK & PLAY. I know because I do!

Fountain Hills has been well known for its Fountain, its Great Fair, its Fountain Festival, its magnificent mountain views and very friendly people. Back in 1993 it was voted as one of the "50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family" and was featured on Oprah. After that review the community quickly became both a vacation Mecca as well as a place for permanent settlement. Accommodations from resort condos, bed & breakfasts and full service hotels have attracted vacationers as well as home hunters and investors. In the May, 2006 issue of the Phoenix Magazine's Annual "Best Places to Live" in the Valley, Fountain Hills was voted #1 out of 22 Valley communities!!

It was based on such issues as property tax rate, population, crime, school test scores and student-teacher ratios, park acreage and miles to Sky Harbor Airport, to name a few. When asked by visitors if Fountain Hills is a nice place to live we suggest they go to any local grocery or retail shop and at random, ask any shopper the same question. Obviously, residents will give the most objective answer and, as we can corroborate, we feel it is "one of the best places to raise a family", live, work and play.... Read more about Fountain Hills!
