Tips on Finding a Fine Vacation Rental in the Bahamas--or Another Beach Destination

Nov. 5, 2006. A vacation rental can be a fine choice for the Bahamas, but make sure you know what you're getting, according to an article in the Detroit Free Press. Ellen Creagher does a fine job of pointing out the pitfalls as well as the advantages of booking a vacation rental in the Bahamas. There are many alternatives to paying the very high cost of staying in the Atlantis, the biggest resort in the Caribbean.

However, as Ms. Creagher points out, you should look below the surface and beware of exaggeration. She provides a number of questions that you should ask, including some of our favorites. Is the property undergoing renovations? How far is from the beach? Does the unit have internet access? How far to the grocery store and what are the selections of restaurants?

Another suggestion is to check our website, VacationRentals.org for a selection of Vacation rentals in the Bahamas. Our site was designed to assure the guest of certain minimum standards of quality. Property listings must certify that they meet these standards, including no false or misleading advertising. Also, we strongly encourage our listors to include the answers to the kinds of questions should ask in the listing information.
