Thrilled to be featured in Travel + Leisure, sharing two of my favorite hidden lake towns in the United States.

Lake Toxaway, North Carolina & Holderness, New Hampshire: both are incredible in the summer, but they’re just as special as the seasons begin to change. 🍂 Think crisp mornings and seriously beautiful fall foliage.

With fall right around the corner, now is the perfect time to plan a lake getaway with a little autumn color.

European beaches... but make it Africa 🌊✨

Welcome to Essaouira, Morocco: a stunning coastal gem with golden beaches and a laid-back vibe.

Whether you're traveling as a couple or with kids, Essaouira offers the perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and adventure. Ride camels along the beach, wander the historic medina, watch local artisans craft their goods, and experience Morocco without the hustle of Marrakesh. Essaouira definitely deserves a spot on your bucket-list.

✨ There's a little something new at Vacay by Gray! ✨

I’m always looking for ways to make travel planning easier for my clients without losing the personal service that comes with working with me.

You can now book hotels 24/7 through my new self-booking portal. So if you know exactly where you want to stay and inspiration strikes at 2am, you don’t have to wait for me to wake up. 😉

And the best part? You’re still booking with me. You’ll have access to the same preferred rates and perks when available, and I’m still here behind the scenes to help and advocate for you.

Prefer to email me and have me handle your hotel booking? Please do! Nothing about the way we work together has to change. This is simply another option when it’s more convenient for you.

The portal is for hotel bookings only, so restaurant reservations, transfers, experiences, full itinerary planning, and everything else is still handled directly through me.

For now, the portal is available to current clients (linked below.) Not a client yet, but want access? Send me a DM, and I’ll get you set up. ✈️

Same Vacay by Gray service, just on your schedule!

Just spent the week in one of my new favorite places... and I already want to go back. 🌴 🇨🇷 Las Catalinas, Costa Rica

Imagine a colorful, walkable beach town where there are no cars, kids can explore the cobblestone streets, and everything you need is just a short walk away. It has all the village charm and relaxed feel of 30A, but it's set in Costa Rica's beautiful Guanacaste region.

We filled our days with beach time, incredible food, and outdoor adventures, but what I loved most was how relaxed it felt. No traffic. No rushing. Just slow mornings, and afternoons by the water.

I'll be sharing much more about why this destination is a new favorite family friendly vacation recommendation. For now, consider this a first glimpse! 📸
