Our Story

Monica Larrabee

Founded in 2004 by Monica Larrabee, New Spirit was born out of passion to create an experience where people can escape a sometimes chaotic daily life and reconnect with what matters most. With over 35 years of accredited excellence in the So Calif real estate industry, Monica envisioned a company that would elevate the vacation rental experience for both homeowners and guests alike.

With over 80 properties across sought-after destinations like Idyllwild, Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear, Temecula Wine Country, and the Greater Palm Springs Desert Communities, we pride ourselves on providing more than just vacation rentals but an invitation to escape the demands of life's challenges.

Our mission is simple: to ensure that every stay leaves our guests feeling revived, refreshed, and ready to embrace life with a renewed spirit. By combining personalized service, innovative marketing, and heightened attention to detail, we’ve cultivated a reputation for excellence that can be trusted. Whether you're seeking the thrill of adventure or the serenity of a peaceful retreat, New Spirit Destinations is here to deliver a truly rewarding experience.

New Spirit Vacation Homes is distinctive from any other vacation rental company not only because our guests have the broadest choice of luxurious homes to choose from but we ensure guests’ expectations are met and they have the most enjoyable and fulfilling getaway. Our guests are welcomed by professional, friendly staff and receive 24 hour guest service.

Our offering of homes compliments any occasion from a romantic weekend, family vacation, reunion, wedding, group event, or holiday celebration. Each home comes equipped with all the amenities our guests will need during their stay and staff is available to assist in planning events, setting up for special occasions, arranging dinner reservations, or any other service that may be required to ensure a stress-free stay. Finally, New Spirit Vacation Homes is proud to have an outstanding maintenance staff to assist with the needs of each of our properties.
