Frequently Asked Questions

Why stay in a vacation rental home instead of a hotel?
In a vacation rental, you can stay in a fully furnished home with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms underneath one roof, rather spending money on multiple hotel rooms. Many rentals are priced between 50 and 80 percent less per square foot than the average hotel room in popular destinations. You can stock the kitchen with all your favorite foods and have great family meals without excess restaurant expenses, room service fees and gratuities.
