UMVA has learned that the secret to a dream summer day in Los Angeles is no longer just a fantasy, but a tangible reality that can be experienced without breaking the bank. Imagine starting your day at 9 a.m. by picking up your Jeep Wrangler, throwing your bags and dog in the back, and hitting the open road.
The perfect summer itinerary unfolds as you arrive at Malibu Beach at 10:30 a.m., where you can hop on an electric hydrofoil and spend the morning flying over the ocean waves. The thrill of soaring above the water is exhilarating, and the picturesque views of the coastline are simply breathtaking.
After a couple of hours of soaking up the sun and fun on the beach, you head inland to a private oasis where your dog can run around in complete privacy. As the doggy naps, you cool off swimming laps in a pristine, private pool complete with a manmade lagoon and waterfall – a true luxury retreat.
The adventure continues as you drive up into the starlit canyons to pitch your tent on a stunning private coastal ranch or secluded farm plot, far from the crowds at the public parks. This million-dollar summer experience can be yours for a fraction of the cost, thanks to the peer-to-peer rental economy.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that platforms like Boatsetter are revolutionizing the way we experience luxury on the water. This P2P boat rental app lets you rent everything from a jet boat to a 106-foot yacht, complete with the option to hire a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain for a seamless experience.
