Lake Havasu vacation home rentals
In 1962, the iconic London Bridge actually was falling down, so the city of London decided to sell it to the highest bidder. Enter Robert McCulloch, founder of Lake Havasu City, who purchased the bridge and relocated it to Arizona hoping to attract tourists to his off-the-beaten-path real estate development. Well, he (re)built it, and as the saying goes, they came. Now known as Arizona’s Playground, this high-energy area has something for everyone. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a quiet getaway, or the fishing trip of a lifetime, you’re sure to find a vacation rental that’s right for you.

Lake rentals for fishing trips
Considered one of the best lakes for fishing in the Southwest, Lake Havasu is known to anglers primarily for bass, but you can also land your share of catfish and bluegill. Several public fishing piers and docks are scattered along the lake, as are a number of marinas and boat launches. You will need a license, though—available online or at any of the numerous bait and tackle shops in the area. Book a cozy cabin near the marina or choose a lakefront vacation rental with a hot tub and a fireplace—some rentals even have private boat slips. Be sure to check the calendar before you go, as Lake Havasu hosts fishing tournaments all year round.

Rent a vacation home with a washer/dryer, a game room, and a home theater to keep everyone happy, or choose a summer rental with a large yard and a fire pit, and spend the warm nights roasting hot dogs and singing campfire songs for some memorable summer family fun.
