Vacation rental prices slashed for this summer season
May 4, 2009 Vacation rentals in popular vacation spots like Myrtle Beach, Orlando and the Poconos are going for as much as 60% less than they did last summer. Quite simply there are too many vacation homes and not enough vacationers. The growing competition for vacationers' dollars has forced property owners to slash prices and even offer add-on perks such as free tickets to local attractions, sailings on catamarans or free rounds of golf to sweeten the deal. Families looking to visit the Florida theme parks this summer will have more cash to put toward those pricey park admission tickets. Prices are down by almost 20% or more across the board, thanks to a glut of new resort communities and condos. Hilton Head, S.C has a 12 mile-coastline and drew 2.5 million vacationers last year. Yet, despite the area’s perennial popularity, there are still plenty of properties available during prime summer months. More on these great deals available from this article in smartmoney.com
