A Room? How About a Whole Vacation Home

By Mandy Morris

Good surprises can be great, especially on vacation. Discover the surprises that Gulf Shores vacation rental homes and cabins have to offer. These properties are located in every destination, from Disneyland to Lake Tahoe to Hawaii and beyond. Enjoy the comforts of home on your next family vacation - for surprising cost savings.

More space to relax - A 400 square foot hotel room vs. a 2,500 square foot home...any more questions? That extra space equals more relaxation while traveling with family and friends. A vacation rental is a wonderful alternative to a hotel room. On a family vacation, everyone just needs their space. The kids need to play, mom and dad need to wind down and relax, and your guests certainly need their own room (not a creaky, uncomfortable rollaway bed right in the middle of everything). Not even a fancy end suite in a hotel can provide the space you'll find in a vacation rental - not to mention the $3000 per night you'll spend for that end suite. The kitchens alone in most vacation rentals, beach homes, ski chalets and condos are larger than even a 5-star hotel room.

More bang for the buck - Booking that perfect vacation rental for a few nights, a week or perhaps a month will be so much cheaper than even a mid-grade hotel room. Hotels make a large portion of their money from the restaurants on the premises. How much was your last room service bill? I recall spending $85 for a continental breakfast for two in Hawaii...yep, that's right, 85 bucks for coffee, juice and a couple of danishes! Private vacation rentals come with fully equipped kitchens ready for home cooked meals on the cheap. Or, how about a drive to the local restaurant everyone has been talking to you about for a night out - one or two nights out instead of every night? The versatility that comes built in with these homes for family vacations is often overlooked by travelers. Rental owners don't have the cost and expenses associated with property tax, large loan payments, restaurants, upkeep and advertising; therefore the savings is passed along to the renter. In terms of size, comfort, luxury, amenities and location, your bucks go a lot further when spent on a vacation rental.

The power of choice. It's worth a lot. And it costs a lot when it's taken away by Housekeeping entering your room at 7:30 am, or by noisy neighbors in the room above or next door, or by the raucous partiers returning to their room at 3:00 am. In a vacation rental home, you have the choice - party all night, or curl up with a good book next to a fire. Take some friends along to enjoy the company of others, or keep it low key. Either way you like it, the choice is yours.

"Sorry, I can't take the leftovers, we're staying in a hotel." Oops, that was money, going down the drain. Or, "Wrap it up - I will LOVE eating the rest tomorrow!" In a vacation rental home you can enjoy that leftover gourmet meal from a plate, warmed up in the microwave, with real silverware. You can cook your own gourmet meal. Pack picnic lunches. Enjoy breakfast in bed without the heavy hotel price tag. AND you can enjoy eating out, but you don't HAVE to eat out.

Have it your way - No more planning around the hotel shuttle, no more spending premium rates for taxi rides (or the tips)...you can make your own schedule in a vacation rental. Need some ice, board games, movies, books, a hot tub, pool, WIFI or how about a backyard? You are in luck. Booking a vacation home is your choice and so are the cool amenities that come with it at no extra charge. Most all amenities that come with vacation homes and cabins are included at the time of booking and are FREE!

Vacation rentals near Disney World and Disneyland are popular for family accommodations in these travel destinations which offer homes, cabins, condos and beach house rentals. The gulf shores has some amazing deals on ocean front beach houses. Vacation rentals, cabins, condos, villas are becoming so popular around the world owners are turning their second homes in to vacation rentals and making money to help cover the mortgage.

If you have not stayed in a vacation rental check out some of the most desired travel destinations that offer vacation rentals for all budgets. Cape Coral, Myrtle Beach, Indian Shores, Orlando, Destin, Breckenridge, Vail, Keystone, Telluride, Steamboat, Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Big Bear Lake, Table Rock, Shawnigan Lake, Davenport, Hilton Head, Fripp Island, Scottsdale, Cancun, Palm Desert, San Diego, Las Vegas, Oregon, the Virgin Islands...just about any destination you can think of, you will find a vacation rental, not just hotels.

The cozy cabin perched on the creek with the swimming hole that reminds you of being a kid simply cannot be passed up for that next family vacation. Ski home rentals are some of the best deals around. Take Lake Tahoe rentals for example; every Tahoe Vacation rental has a world class ski resort within minutes of your mountain getaway. Hotels are easy but to truly relax on your next road trip vacation rentals and beach home rentals are a more affordable solution for a family vacation.

ONLY BOOK VERIFIED VACATION RENTALS! - Finding a verified vacation rental means that what you see is what you get, guaranteed, without you doing the legwork beforehand, or worse, arriving at your destination only to find the property is not what you signed up for (and spent your money on). Most websites that display vacation rentals do not verify the listings. This means that you must do a little homework before plunking down several hundred dollars for your accommodations.

You may pay a few extra bucks for verified vacation vacation rentals in The Gulf Shores rental but it is well worth every penny. Most advertising websites for vacation rentals from Lake Tahoe to the Caribbean do not verify any of their listings. It is always worth looking for reviews of the rental you are interested in and reading all of the different comments. Then take the middle ground and at least you will have a pretty good starting point in to your investigation. Property management companies are usually the best resource from verification purposes as many of these managers have viewed the rental home or cabin first hand. Vacation rental sites that accept credit cards are also a great solution as many credit card companies offer insurance. Scams are out there and the last thing you and your family need is to end up at a parking garage.

Searching for vacation rentals to book? Simply type in "BOOK VACATION RENTALS IN LAKE TAHOE" or "BOOK VACATION RENTALS IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA" or whatever destination you and your family have in mind. Many sites that list vacation rentals provide you with fantastic resources for your next holiday adventure. Remember to spend a little time on the site and most of all look for vacation rental listings that are NOT too good to be true! Talk to the owner of the site to inquire about their process of verification. And when you get tired of hotels with views of the parking lot check out a mountain top vacation rental with views of the canyon may be right for you and your family for your next family vacation.
