Vacation Rental Travelers Can Find a New Lease on Vacation Life
Want more space for less money than a hotel on your next trip? Consider renting a vacation apartment or house. Hundreds of vacation-rental agencies — and individual owners — offer everything from city apartments to country villas in Europe, North America and beyond.
This is the conclusion of Kristin Jackson in an article in the Seattle Times. However, the article points out that those vacation renters do need to be independent-minded and flexible. Vacationers need to be reminded that they are renting a house and not a hotel room. While cautioning about things that travelers should be aware of, especially when traveling abroad, the article points out that significant cost savings and other benefits can be realized by those travelers who do their homework.
Ms. Jackson indicates that Europe is the epicenter of vacation rentals, although many North American ski and beach resorts also have condos/houses for vacation rentals, particularly in places such as Hawaii. The Caribbean has many beach rentals, as do some Mexican and Asian resorts.
