And this one could be yours, and only yours, to use during your vacation....
What about alternatives to staying in a hotel during your vacation? Other than choices like a quaint bed and breakfast, there are also thousands of homes throughout the world available to "let" or to rent to vacationers and their families.
Why would anyone want to rent a house to stay in during their vacation? Isn't a vacation about getting hotel room service and maid service and a chance to use the hotel pool, etc., etc? Well, yes...and no...
Why not escape the tourist scenario altogether and stay at your chosen destination in a real home? What better way to really experience the area as a "local" and not just as a"tourist" ? You can find a vacation rental home with maid service AND a pool and quite possibly menus and meals if you so desire. You work hard for your time off and your vacation dollars...make sure you get what you really want and don't settle for the usual or obvious choices.
And remember this...if you rent the vacation home above which just happens to be in Cozumel, only you and YOUR guests use this pool. Not the screamers staying in the room below you or the party-animals who were out by the hotel pool drinking until the wee hours...just you, your family, and your invited guests.
How easy can this get?
Since we were discussing the possibility of a ranch vacation elsewhere on this site, I conducted a little search.
These are just a few of the results for vacation home rentals in the US State of Montana. There were actually over 200 results returned, but this gives you a good idea of the variety and quality of the vacation homes available.
Hook up with some relatives you can stand or some good friends and this can be a very inexpensive way to vacation - in this case - in the country, in the beautiful mountains of Montana. I'd bring some steaks and a few bottles of wine and say "Good riddance" to the rest of the world for awhile...
Switch gears again and decide you would prefer a vacation rental on one of my favorite areas of Florida, the Panhandle, including beautiful Pensacola. You'll have nearly 5,000 homes available in Florida to choose from. Here are 5 for your review:
Doing your own virtual viewing is easy, just click on any vacation home image above and start narrowing your search. Homes are available world-wide...so make sure you allow time for this fun research!
Not interested in the Panhandle area of Florida? How about these exciting vacation properties in Destin, Florida?
Still think you prefer a country vacation more than a country residence? Then head back to things that may prove useful when planning your country vacation including a quiz to test your vacation personality, a handy starter list of things to consider about where you want to go and what you want to do, along with some luggage options and suggestions, and a thought or two about securing your main home-base property so things will remain secure there while you are on your country vacation. Don't forget to travel safe and secure while you're at it...and have fun!
