What is your ideal, low stress, and reconnecting family vacation "fly to" destination?

Currently our favorite vacation is York Beach, Maine. I would actually recommend it as a "fly to" destination for a family with young children during the summer months, because it is a place where families can simply spend time together and reconnect. I find myself appreciating my family so much each year, because we have dedicated time, hours that tun into days to just enjoy each other, play on the beach and stroll around the dinky kiddy ride amysement park that has no lines (since we go end of season), and we get to hang out with them and watch their faces light up with glee as they run from ride to ride. When they get too tired, it is not so far to walk carrying them back to the motel right at short sands beach, all of us happily exhausted. We love this vacation because it is time spent focused on being together, and time that is low stress. It is also cheap (relatively!).

What are your favorite "fly to" family vacation destinations? I am looking for ideas, for some variety.

IMO, "low stress" and "flying" are 100% mutually exclusive.

Who can afford to fly a family anywhere these days?

Our family used to travel a lot, but since both me and my two siblings have gotten older and are either in college or have a job, we have had to cut down on the vacations. My favorite vacation spot was Australia... Amazing history, beautiful beaches, nice people, and tons of outdoorsy things to do. But since we have had to cut back on the long, overseas vacations, we have been visiting the Outer Banks every summer. We get a house for a week and just go to the beach or sand dunes and relax. Plus there are a decent amount of nature trails and kayak rental places so that you can go off on your own and be in a less crowded area for a bit.

We don't fly to get there, but every other year my 4 siblings and I (and our families) all converge on the Ocean Edge resort in Brewster, Cape Cod, MA. We hang out at the pool, have dinners at each family's condo (we rotate who is hosting), and drive over to the beach and mini golf a few times.

Before we started going to the Cape, one year we went to St. John, USVI and another year to Santa Barbara, CA, both of which were lovely. My hope is that someday we'll go to Hawaii, but this year it'll be Cape Cod again.

@phoenixgirrl: love that quiet side of the Cape - colder water, but beautiful beach.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
