A good reunion starts with a few shared decisions: dates, sleeping arrangements, budget, and how your family likes to spend time together. Plan those first, then build a flexible weekend around the people coming.
Start with two homes next door.
Bella Vida and Chula Vista are side by side in Concan. They are an option for several families who want to stay close while keeping separate kitchens, bedrooms, and space to unwind. Check both calendars for the same dates before committing to either home.
Each home requires its own reservation and follows its own occupancy limits and house rules. Confirm whether visitors or gatherings involving guests from both homes are permitted; booking neighboring homes does not create one combined occupancy allowance.

Use the property pages for current calendars, bed arrangements, guest limits, rates, and booking instructions. The featured Concan homes are managed by Frio Traditions.

Five decisions before you reserve
- Pick dates and a backup. Ask each household which dates truly work, then compare availability. Confirm minimum stays before announcing the trip.
- Count everyone staying overnight. Match the actual bed setup to adults and children. Ask about guest limits, parking, accessibility needs, and any daytime visitors.
- Compare the full price. Request the total including taxes, cleaning, linens, and any optional pool heating. Review payment deadlines and cancellation terms.
- Give one person each job. Choose a booking organizer, meal planner, and activity coordinator. Keep the guest list and arrival instructions in one shared message.
- Leave room to relax. One main outing is usually enough for a day. Build in quiet time and a weather backup.
A simple three-day reunion plan
Arrival day: settle in
Follow your check-in instructions, unpack groceries, and enjoy an easy dinner. Share the house rules with every household. Assign attentive adult supervision around pools and water; a gate does not replace supervision.
Full day: choose your pace
Plan a river outing only after checking conditions and confirming your access location, passes, and any outfitter arrangements. River conditions change, and a Concan stay does not automatically include riverfront access.
For a park outing, check Garner State Park’s official information. The park can reach capacity, so reserve entry ahead and review current alerts. Keep a home-based meal or game afternoon as your backup, within the home’s gathering rules.
Departure day: keep it easy
Have a simple breakfast, take a family photo, and follow the checkout checklist. Split cleanup tasks early so one household is not doing everything at the end.
Pack for the plans you actually make.
Bring sun protection, drinking water, and footwear appropriate for your outings. Check what linens, towels, kitchen supplies, and outdoor equipment the home provides before packing extras. Confirm pool heating availability and charges for cooler-weather trips, and check fire restrictions before planning any outdoor fire.
