For most of the United States, this has been an endless winter, but spring is finally starting to arrive. Who isn’t in need of a sunny getaway now? No matter where you’re from, these sunny spots deliver on promised sunshine and warmth. From San Diego’s urban paradise (palm trees included) to Sedona’s picture-perfect landscapes, these warm weather cities are sure to offer plenty of rays and a variety of outdoor experiences. So, what are you waiting for? Book that plane ticket or pack your car. Rest assured that when you get there, you’ll be donning flip flops and shorts and can return with a jealousy-inducing healthy tan. It will make up for these last few lousy months, for sure. You’ll also be pleased to know that PC Housing has luxury corporate housing communities in each of these cities, which means you can stay in style and comfort throughout the entirety of your trip.
PC Housing’s home city can offer guests plenty. From its sparkling blue waters to happening nightlife, San Diego is brimming with things to do and see. Head to the Gaslamp Quarter to get a dose of the city’s history, enjoy meals alfresco and shop until you drop. Cross the San Diego—Coronado bridge to see Pleasantville-esque Coronado. Step back in time at Clayton’s Coffee shop (pies cooling in glass cases on the counter and waitresses wearing aprons included) for classic American fare, before you head to Coronado’s most famous site: The Hotel del Coronado. Walk around the hotel’s sparkling white beach and maybe even traverse through the lobby of this historical site. Next, make your way to La Jolla for some incredible coastal views.
One of California’s most popular getaway spots, Palm Springs offers stunning desert views and a thriving arts scene. If you’d like to get a birds eye view of the entire area, hop on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Onboard, you’ll catch gorgeous views of Chino Canyon. When you arrive at the top of the mountain, soak up the awe-inspiring scenery all around you. To appreciate the area’s culture, pay a visit to the Palm Springs Art Museum to complete your Palm Springs experience. Make sure to wake up early for a desert hike, then head back to your corporate housing community to soak up sun by the pool.

Georgia’s largest city beckons with a thriving dining scene, arts galore and plenty of attractions. Gone With the Wind fans can tour author Margaret Mitchell’s home. If you’ve ever had a Coke (and really, who hasn’t?), pay a visit the World of Coca Cola museum. Once you stomach starts to growl, consider heading to celeb hot-spots South City Kitchen or Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse to grab a bite. Cap off your visit with a mouth-watering piece of pie from the aptly named Pie Shop.

Outdoor-loving travelers will fall head over heels for Arizona’s Flagstaff. With the Grand Canyon National Park to the north and loads of parks and preserves to the south, Flagstaff is the perfect place to experience all that Arizona has to offer. The city of Flagstaff also has a large number of cultural centers and nighttime activities to keep you going well after sunset – and to offer a break from the springtime Flagstaff sun. The Flagstaff Urban Trails System (affectionately called FUTS) offers 50 miles of trails for hikers and cyclers.
