How
to
Save
ON AN ALL STAR VACATION
STAY CONNECTED
Ensure you hear about All Star’s specials at the earliest possible moment – sign up for our e-newsletter or follow us on
social media to stay connected. You’ll be in the know as soon
as we announce a new offer or discount. Also, it is helpful
to call our Reservations Team and ask about any specials
or discounts you may not be aware of.
GO WITH LOW
You don’t have to break the bank to get away on
a luxurious vacation with All Star. The first step
towards saving is to plan your vacation early so you
can take full advantage of the options available. It
is also helpful to speak with everyone in your travel
party so you can determine the kinds of savings that
would be the most beneficial to you. Travel smart
and save hundreds with these tips.
It’s no secret that everything is cheaper during off season.
Along with less expensive airfare and smaller crowds,
accommodations are more affordable too. The general rule is
that busy season coincides with the time when kids are out
of school so you can save if you avoid traveling during these
times. Choose to travel during slow season and you’ll enjoy
the vacation home of your dreams at a fraction of the price.
THE MORE, THE MERRIER
One of the best ways to save on any vacation is to invite
additional friends or family members to help share the cost.
If a 5-bedroom home is shared by the number of guests it
can host, the savings and value can be significant when
compared to other accommodations. (Don’t worry, All Star’s
spacious homes provide plenty of privacy.) If you want to
split the total, you can make payments on your schedule
with no interest and no fees using All Star Flex Pay.
STANDARD SPECIALS
All Star offers a variety of discounts year-round including
past guest, AAA, AARP, Florida resident and military. Be sure
to have your membership card or ID handy. If you’re staying
for 7 nights or more, you could be eligible for a free car rental
or instant money rebate. Visit our website for full details.*
WHAT’S IN SEASON
There’s no telling when a seasonal special or limited-time
offer will pop up where you can save big. Seasonal specials
could be added at any time and often expire quickly so be
sure to act fast to snag a great deal. (Tip: Make sure you stay
connected with All Star!)
Reserve a home like this for as low as
$40 a night per person*
THINK OUTSIDE YOUR HOME
Extend the savings beyond your vacation home! Through
All Star’s partnerships with local organizations and businesses, you can save precious vacation dollars on Disney
and attraction tickets, golf tee times, sporting events, dinner
shows and entertainment, and more.
Contact our Reservations Team to receive a quote and learn how you can save on a vacation.
*Specials subject to terms and conditions.
*At maximum occupancy. Rates are seasonal and subject to change.

All Star Stories
FROM OUR GUESTS
Make your vacation
EVENTFUL
Discover how our team can help make your vacation unforgettable
We took all of our kids and a grandson to a vacation in Florida our treat for our 25th wedding anniversary. We renewed our vows
on the 17th of November at Leu Gardens with the family and it
was wonderful! We then visited the parks, Disney and Universal,
which of course was another wonderful time. …
The home was spectacular! [There were] bedrooms for all the
kids (three couples) and a room for our 9-month-old grandson, at
the time. The kids decided to cook an anniversary dinner for us
one night [to thank us] for taking them on a wonderful vacation
and it turned out fabulous! Filets on the grill (the boys) and all
the fixings cooked up in the well equipped kitchen by the ladies.
We will most definitely be staying at an All Star home again
and couldn’t be happier to recommend it to all our friends and
family! The resort had everything there we needed and felt very
safe with the gated community. [All Star] also went out of their
way to deliver us a wonderful food basket for staying with them
and to celebrate our 25th anniversary. It was not expected and
was a great surprise when we got home from a grocery run to find
it had been delivered.
The Horrex Family, Pennsylvania
Wow! I have been to Orlando many times but have always stayed
in a hotel or in a Disney resort. Last May, I brought my family
of 15 so we rented a house from All Star. And let me say it was
amazing, from the time you arrive to the time you depart. … I have
recommended All Star to many of my friends and am planning to
return in December this year, and I will be staying with All Star.
Thank you for all your hard work.

GO TOGETHER
OMG, from before we even landed in FL , All Star Vacation Homes
was contacting us to be sure that we had all that we needed to
make our vacation wonderful. The staff at ASVH was very accommodating and ensured that our wishes were met.
Our family was extremely happy with the guest services and
the house. They even helped us with getting our boarding passes
for our return flight by bringing them to the house.
The house was clean and up-to-date. [We] loved coming back
home each night to a heated pool after an exhausting, [yet] fun,
day at Disney.
We would definitely return to All Star Vacation Homes and
have recommended it to many of our friends.

SANIBEL & CAPTIVA ISLANDS, FLORIDA
WILD, WACKY, WONDERFUL
Water Activities
You’re probably familiar with typical beach activities like
building sandcastles, relaxing on the sand and riding the waves
– but do you want to take your vacation to the next level? If you
and your family like to think outside the (sand)box and try fun
new things, check out our list of 6 unique water activities you can
experience on Sanibel & Captiva.
Nama-stay on your board
in a SUP Yoga session
Learn to hover over the waves
on a water-powered Flyboard®
Stand-up paddle boarding and yoga are combined into this
unusual workout on the waves. Surrounded by the serenity of
the islands, SUP yoga focuses on stretching, flexibility and finding
your inner calm.
Have you heard of this extreme, yet safe watersport? A Flyboard®
is a water-powered jet board that is strapped to your feet like a
wakeboard. Easy to control, a Flyboard® can soar high or splash
down in the water.
Dive like a dolphin under
the sea with a Seascooter
Zoom around the islands aboard
a high-speed catamaran
Ideal for adding more excitement to snorkeling or scuba diving,
seascooters, or sea jets, propel you through the water. Use them
to speed under water, dive down for a better look at fish or shells,
or as an extra kick during your undersea adventure.
Sanibel & Captiva’s only high-speed boat tour, the Sanibel Thriller
cruises the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound
at adrenaline-inducing speeds. Climb aboard the 55-foot power
catamaran for the thrill of a lifetime.
Ride the wind on a
kitesurfing adventure
Have bunches of fun on a
silly banana boat ride
Kitesurfing harnesses the power of the wind with a large rider-controlled kite to propel you across the water on a board. Sign
up for lessons and learn to do amazing aerial tricks.
Great for kids, an inflatable banana boat is towed behind a motor
boat and holds up to six people. Glide across the water at 15 mph
and bounce over the waves. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
Satisfy your sweet tooth island style!
If the sight of sugar-white sand and
cotton candy-like clouds cause a sudden
craving for something sweet, rest
assured that you can find a multitude
of treats on Sanibel & Captiva. Hit the
beach and then try one of these desserts.
Key Lime Pie
Orange Crunch Cake
KEYLIME BISTRO, CAPTIVA ISLAND
THE BUBBLE ROOM, CAPTIVA ISLAND
An island favorite, grab a forkful (or many forkfuls) of Keylime
Bistro’s authentic award-winning key lime pie.
The Bubble Room is known for their generous servings of
delicious cakes. Order a slice of their award-winning original orange crunch cake, featuring yellow cake layered with
almond brown sugar crunch topped with decadent orange
cream cheese icing.
Sanibel Krunch® Ice Cream
PINOCCHIO’S ORIGINAL ITALIAN ICE CREAM, SANIBEL ISLAND
Choose a cone or cup and order a scoop of Pinocchio’s world-famous Sanibel Krunch, creamy praline ice cream mixed with
shredded coconut. Look for the animal cracker on top!
Chocolate Semifreddo
SWEET MELISSA’S CAFÉ, SANIBEL ISLAND
This dessert is chocolaty and fruity! Indulge in a frozen chocolate semifreddo dome with a Rice Krispies® and Nutella®
base served with orange sorbet and a burnt orange sauce.
Key Lime Cookies
BAILEY’S GENERAL STORE, SANIBEL ISLAND
Visit Bailey’s bakery for their fresh-from-the-oven soft-baked
key lime shortbread cookies. You can also find an assortment
of pastries, doughnuts, fudge, cakes and other desserts.

Island
Fun
Some of the best things in life are free – like spending time with
the people you love. Sanibel & Captiva’s tropical island setting
presents a variety of free things you can do together. Immerse
yourself in the beauty of the islands, save your dollars and
make priceless memories while enjoying one of these activities.
Swimming
Wildlife viewing
Hit the beach and dive under the waves. The warm and
crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico are irresistible.
Also, if your vacation home has a private or community
pool, go for a refreshing swim to cool off.
The islands are famous for their abundant wildlife viewing
opportunities. You never know where you might spot some
amazing animals but to maximize your chances, be sure to
visit Bailey Tract and Pond Apple Park.
Shelling
Hiking
You can find 250 kinds of shells on the beaches of Sanibel
& Captiva. Rise early, grab a shell bag and prepare to do the
“Sanibel Stoop” in search of beautiful shells along the shore.
See if you can find a junonia, the islands’ most coveted shell.
With so many island trails, there are plenty of spots you can
tour the great outdoors. We recommend Sanibel Gardens
Preserve, Lighthouse Beach Park and the Sanibel-Captiva
Conservation Foundation’s Nature Center & Trails.
Fishing
Biking
No boat is needed to reel in the catch of the day! Bring your
pole and visit the Sanibel Fishing Pier for chances to hook
snook, redfish, sheepshead, black drum and snapper, or fish
off of the causeway beaches.
Sanibel & Captiva offer 25 miles of bike paths with zero
traffic lights. For fitness and fun, bring your bike, pedal the
islands and see the sights in the sunshine. If you don’t have
a bike, there are a several places to rent them.
Walking
Relaxing
Pick up a free map at the Chamber Visitor Center and experience a 2.5-mile walking (or biking) tour of Old Town Sanibel,
once the focal point of the island’s development. You can
also walk the grounds of the Sanibel Lighthouse filled with
informative displays.
Relaxing is a must-do island activity! There are endless
spots to relax and feel warm breezes like under the shade
of a tropical palm tree, on the beach watching the sunset or
poolside on a lounge chair.
