🇲🇽 AUCTION SNEAK PEEK: Who do you want to vacation with?! 🌴

This might be one of the most fun Koats 4 Kids auction items to start planning for before you even arrive. Grab your friends, siblings, cousins, neighbors, or that group you've been saying “we seriously need to take a trip together” with—and get ready to bid on a stay at Villa Blanca Manzanillo!

Why are we telling you now? Because just check out the full photo gallery: https://www.villablancamanzanillo.com/gallery

Think about that for a second:

5 couples + 5 king suites + one winning auction bid = one seriously incredible group vacation. 🙌

Or turn it into a family reunion, girls' getaway, friends' trip, or multi-family vacation. Pool your money together, split the winning bid, and suddenly a private luxury villa experience becomes a whole lot more affordable.

And this isn't just a big vacation house.

Villa Blanca is a professionally staffed, 5-bedroom, 8-bath private luxury villa inside the gated La Punta community in Manzanillo, Mexico, with incredible 360° views of Santiago and Manzanillo Bays.

Your stay includes access to:

👨‍🍳 A private chef who can prepare everything from authentic Mexican cuisine to customized meals

🤵 A house manager who helps coordinate your stay, activities, food and beverage purchases, and transportation

🧹 Daily cleaning & room service

🧺 Laundry service if desired

🚗 Transportation arrangements, including airport transportation

🌴 And all the space, privacy and amenities of your own luxury villa.

Important: Guests are responsible for food, beverages and transportation costs. Villa Blanca currently estimates food and beverages at approximately $50–$60 per person, per day, and transportation at approximately $50/hour.

So start the group text NOW:

“Who wants to go to Mexico?!” 😂🌴🍹

Then come ready to bid at Koats 4 Kids on September 25.

Every auction purchase supports Pixiedusted's Annual Fund and helps us continue spreading kindness to kids and families throughout our community.

Bid together. Vacation big. Give back. Koats 4 Kids
