I don’t know about you, but summer has just begun and I am already counting down the days until my summer vacay. In my opinion, nothing is more perfect than a vacation in summer that includes splashing around with your babiekins, and whether you like the lake, a pool, or the beach, Kid & Coe has kid-friendly property rentals that include all of the above. In fact, I have several rentals saved on my desktop to choose from for our family summer vacation – I cannot wait! Are you ready for your summer vacay?

If you are like me a family vacation can sometimes be more difficult and stressful than relaxing and fun. Everything from finding the perfect place to stay to what little “Susie” will need the three days you are away all adds up and can be very demanding.

Kid & Coe — a new company designed to take the stress out of planning a family trip — has now created an easy-to-navigate and stylish website that is dedicated to helping families find kid-friendly and practical rental homes.

The founder, Zoie Kingsbery Coe traveled the world while managing her husband’s music career, kids-in-hand, and was often disappointed in what hotels had to offer growing families. So, Zoie decided that life would be much easier if families could speed time away in kid-friendly properties that had the comforts of their own home!

I recently stayed in Kid & Coe’s Casperville Residence in Heber City, Utah. This home boasts 5 bedrooms and 3 baths including a nursery, which was a God-send after 13 hours in the car! Plenty of toys, books, fun family DVDs and a beautiful backyard made this home perfect for any family. I felt right at home and it really helped us to unwind after a long ride in the car! The boys loved how each room had a character of its own — the astronaut room, the cowboy-themed room and a more shabby chic room for those of you who have girls.

The beautiful kitchen full of practical items that are needed for those with smaller kids. There were plastic sippy cups, utensils and tableware that we used along with the handy attachable counter highchair! We all enjoyed breakfast in the kitchen while hearing the birds chirp their happy song in the morning.

I loved the little design elements of this home! I am now itching to chalk a corner up in our home somewhere! Maybe the entrance? Christian left a little note “Barros family was here” on the wall for the hosts!

My favorite spot in the house was this music room. Showcasing a beautiful vintage piano and the most awesome gallery wall (and that light!). It was a relaxing spot to sit down, read a book and look out the window and watch the horses across the street run and play in the field.

This room was one of my kids favorites! With an astronaut theme, this was quickly one of the boys “hang out rooms.” Glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, plenty of books to snuggle up with after a warm bath and toys galore made it “home away from home.”

A cowboy themed space was also available in the home. Featuring comfortable bunk beds, a vintage desk for all those little artists and tons of toys!

There was even a nursery which was so welcome after 13 hours in the car! Cruz loved it and I had peace of mind that he was comfortable and he wouldn’t fall out of a bed.

The backyard featured a garden,  playground with a slide, sandbox, trampoline and seesaw! It was great to let the boys run wild and get their wiggles out! We (the adults) might have also had fun on the trampoline! 😉

The horses were seen from the front room nook (with piano) and this red barn was a short walk from the house.

We spent the first night just relaxing with a movie by the fire, and then the next day exploring the city. This home had a beautiful farm in front of it with horses and was nestled in a scenic location between the mountains. It was incredibly beautiful and amazing to see my boys enjoy nature since we don’t have so many beautiful green rolling hills here where we live in California!
I enjoyed the practical side of staying at a residence verses a hotel because we had so much more room to roam in and the house came with many everyday needs for baby Cruz, including sippy cups, plastic baby utensils and plates and an attachable countertop high chair. All these everyday items made life so much easier and it was great that I didn’t have to haul my whole kitchen to the house!
Kid & Coe is an affordable option and amazingly easy to find and book your next vacation.  The Casperville Residence costs from $224.25 per night*, including all fees, and sleeps up to 8 plus a baby. To book, visit www.kidandcoe.com.
*Note that the price here includes fees and cleaning fees so it is more expensive than the rate quoted on the site — I think it’s important to be clear what the whole fee will be in this instance.
