Who wouldn’t want a private kitchen and pool?

Friday, November 13th, 2009

One of the things that’s so lovable about vacation rentals is their unique amenities. Even in the most luxurious hotel suite, chances that you’ll have access to a gourmet kitchen are pretty slim. Same goes for a private pool.

But many vacation rentals feature full kitchens and private pools. What makes such amenities so great for traveling? Well, it’s nice to have the option to dine in. This is especially true if you’re traveling in a big group – eating out is expensive and difficult in this case.

As well, many vacation rentals have private pools! There is nothing fun about sharing a pool with a bunch of strangers (in other words, other hotel guests who aren’t you). With a pool home rental, you can swim and sunbathe in total and complete privacy.

While a gourmet kitchen or private pool may seem like a luxurious amenity, these things are available at many affordable Vacation Rentals.com properties. Imagine paying up to $500 a week for a 5-bedroom home with a pool and kitchen – it’s not a crazy idea.

Group Vacations

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

There are countless benefits of booking a vacation rental over a hotel. But perhaps the most glaring one is this – vacation rentals are big. Even the one-bedroom and studio properties tend to boast lots more space than the typical hotel room. And for a lot less money!

The vacation rental is an invaluable resource for groups traveling together. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, destination wedding, girlfriend getaway, or company retreat, Vacation Rentals.com has more than a few rentals for you to pick from.

3 bedrooms, 6 bedrooms, 11 bedrooms…often for less than $1000 a week! Why would you reserve a string of expensive hotel rooms, when you could accommodate your entire group for less money in one luxurious vacation home – which may even have its own private pool, ocean view, or game room.

If you’re vacationing solo or with just one other person, your accommodation options are pretty vast. But when you’re traveling in a group, there’s really no argument: group-friendly vacation rentals are the way to go!

Florida Beach Vacation Ideas

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Ah, the Sunshine State. The idyllic spring to summer vacation spot, but really a great year-round destination. Festivals, beaches, interesting people, awesome seafood, and the perfect mix of cosmopolitan charm and natural beauty – that’s Florida in a nutshell. So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your getaway to one of America’s favorite states now!

Family
Florida’s filled with family-friendly destinations, however it’s also got a handful of cities that cater to adults more so than kids. For example, you wouldn’t want to go to Panama City Beach during Spring Break. For good clean fun in the sun, consider Daytona Beach, Tampa, and Amelia Island. For non-stop theme park action, there’s the Disney area and to a greater extent, Orlando.

Outdoor Adventure
Florida’s brimming with lovely lakes and a sweeping coast line – so there’s always opportunity for water sports. If you consider yourself a nature connoisseur, however, book a Florida rental near the Everglades.

Romantic
Looking for a little peace and quiet so you can spend some quality time with your sweetheart? There are plenty of romance-inspiring beaches in Florida – some standouts include Caladesi Island, all of the Florida Keys, Marco Island, and Cocoa Beach. And remember, most couples would have a blast at Disney World!

Party
So, you’re headed to Florida for the social interaction, huh? Well, you’ve got lots of options. Miami (particularly the South Beach area), Panama City Beach, and Key West.

The Reinvention of the Family Vacation

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

What do you think of when you hear the words “family vacation?” Chevy Chase embarrassing his brood on the beach? Kids throwing temper tantrums at Disney World? Everyone cramming into a teeny-tiny hotel room, and fighting with other guests over who gets to dominate the pool?

Well, let’s revisit and rethink the Family Vacation. What are the requirements?
-A well-rounded itinerary that keeps you and the kiddos happy.
-Inexpensive lodging, attractions, and dining.
-Plenty of opportunities to take a picture worthy enough to make it in the family photo album. (Just kidding, kinda.)

While we can’t guarantee you’ve picked out the right destination, we can offer you private lodging, which can pretty much take care of most of these Family Vacation requirements.

A vacation home features room for everyone to truly relax, and comfy furnishings and amenities that will keep everyone entertained in between sightseeing (like pool tables, wide screen TVs with cable, Jacuzzi tubs, and swimming pools). They also, more often than not, boast a full kitchen and dining room. That means you can call the shots on what you eat and don’t eat. Instead of wasting money dining out every evening, why not cook your own meal at home? That’s a whole lot healthier and cheaper!

A fully loaded vacation rental is often an attraction in itself. All you really need is pretty backdrop (like the mountains or the beach).

The best part? Vacation Rentals.com not only offers up a plethora of amazing discounts, savings, and last minute deals, but a private vacation home is automatically more valuable than a hotel room. Consider staying in a 3-bedroom estate for the same price as a plain, small hotel room!

Get a little more luxurious, stylish, and comfortable on your next family vacation – and still save those pennies.
