You can go to the mountains, the beach or to any major city and find a vacation home rental these days. Deciding if this relatively new way to spend your few weeks of time off each year is right for you depends on what your needs are. Many people swear by what is often called VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owner) and rely on this for all their vacations.
Vacation Home Rentals are usually set up by the week. You rent a home that is privately owned directly from the homeowner and have the right to stay in it and use all of the amenities for the duration of your stay. VRBOs vary in size from nice-sized condominiums to spacious homes that can comfortably fit up to twenty people. Why are so many people turning to vacation home rentals?
The price is right. Because you are renting an entire house, most people share the cost with another couple or family because there is plenty of room. The smallest VRBO is usually two bedrooms and two full baths as well as a kitchen, living room and patio, so when you look at prices, remember to divide them by how many people will actually be paying.
You have more space. Staying in a hotel for a week or two can get very confining....
