Inspirato member Kim Lee has one big reason to travel every year\u2014she takes an annual vacation with a group of eight to 12 of her closest girlfriends. Since joining Inspirato six years ago, Kim has turned to the club to help make that yearly reunion easy and memorable. For their latest trip, the group decided to finally visit a place they\u2019d been dreaming\u2014and hearing glowing reviews<\/a><\/span>\u2014about for years: Rosemary Beach, Florida<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always start by looking at houses that can accommodate the whole group,\u201d Kim said. \u201cRosemary Beach was always on our bucket list. It\u2019s definitely a hidden gem.\u201d<\/p>\n After browsing through Inspirato\u2019s five homes in the Rosemary Beach and WaterColor communities, Kim and her friends decided on Sugarwhite Cottage<\/a><\/span>, an exceedingly charming, six-bedroom abode \u201cjust a hop, skip, and a jump away\u201d from the beach, as Kim described it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe house was amazing,\u201d Kim said. Spanning more than 4,000 square feet\u2014plus a separate but attached carriage house\u2014Sugarwhite Cottage is ideal for large groups like Kim\u2019s. The friends spent their long weekend reconnecting over drinks and laughs in the kitchen and family room, as well as on the balconies and wraparound terrace.<\/p>\n But, like on any good vacation, Kim and her friends spent plenty of time exploring their surroundings. Rosemary Beach is known for its peaceful, old-fashioned ambiance, in which the group fully immersed themselves. They cruised the area on bikes, relaxed on the beach, visited a farmers market, and sampled eclectic culinary offerings. \u201cAll the restaurants we went to were fantastic and everybody was so friendly,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n The trip wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the help of Inspirato\u2019s expert, personalized pre-trip planning. Kim worked with her Care team and on-site concierge to develop the perfect itinerary.<\/p>\n \u201cOur Destination Concierge was spot on,\u201d Kim said. \u201cThe suggestions she made were great. She was there to meet us and got everything on our grocery list, and when she couldn\u2019t find one thing, she made a special trip somewhere else to pick it up. She was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim and her friends\u2019 next girls\u2019 trip is already on the horizon. \u201cWe always have our planning meeting in January to plan the next trip,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at going out to California, maybe Newport Coast<\/a><\/span> or Terranea resort in Rancho Palos Verdes<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/inspirato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rosemarygirls_group1.jpg\")
