Whether you’re visiting exotic new destinations, cruising with a tropical drink in hand, or just heading north for the warmer months, summer is the season of travel – and there’s no better “home base” than The Glenridge.
On average, roughly 80% of Americans plan at least one trip during the summer. It’s a great way to relax, unwind, and experience different facets of culture, history, cuisine, language and nature from around the world – or, if you’re traveling domestically, right here in the U.S.
But when you’re away from home for an extended period, worries can start to add up. When a big storm blows in, who’s checking the yard for branches? Did you remember to reset the thermostat before heading to the airport? Did you request a mail hold? Did you make sure to leave a key with anyone who might need to access the house while you’re gone? Those small “what-ifs” can be the difference between a good vacation and a great one.
At The Glenridge, we believe summer travel shouldn’t be stressful – and our globe-trotting members say that one of the best things about living here is how easy it is to set off on their next adventure.
- Delegating the Details. At The Glenridge, there’s one simple step to a great vacation: Drop by the front desk and fill out an “away” form to let us know how long you’ll be gone, and how we can reach you. You can note your preferences for mail forwarding, housekeeping, home access, and more – and even have a staff member periodically start your car for you while you’re away.
- Security (in Every Sense). An empty home is an easy target for theft; and even if you have a friend, neighbor or relative checking in on the property, they may not be able to do anything about a break-in until it’s too late. By contrast, The Glenridge’s gated campus is open only to members and invited guests, with 24-hour security for added peace of mind.
- Storm Prep Made Simple. When you’re a hemisphere away, the last thing you want to hear is a forecast for bad weather back home. But for Glenridge members, it’s always blue skies ahead. If a storm is on the way, our staff will handle all the prep and take care of any repairs or cleanup when skies clear.
Wherever your travels take you, one thing you don’t need to pack is your worries – and at The Glenridge, you’re free to lock the door and leave when adventure calls.
