Take a Vacation with Discover Vacation Homes

The Alternative to the Traditional Resort

Karen Reams
Good accommodation is an essential part of any successful vacation and Discover Vacation Homes is an agency that is dedicated to raising awareness of alternative ideas to hotels.

What do most vacationers want when staying away from home? Well, the answer is spacious and airy guest rooms, modern amenities and plush bedding. In other words a home away from home.

Discover Vacation Homes offers its clients just that and books them into an actual home. Vacation home rentals is fast becoming the in thing as people are looking for alternatives to the more traditional resort or hotel.

In fact it can work out less expensive to book a vacation home than to stay in a hotel. For example, in Orlando, Florida some vacation homes start at $120 per night and sleep up to eight people whereas a hotel usually only sleeps 2-4 people.

The rates for condos in Orlando start at $89 per night and the largest rental vacation homes have 7 bedrooms, sleep up to 16 people and cost $539 per night (during high season).

Now lets take a look at where else you can save money when renting a vacation home.

For starters in a vacation rental you will have a fully equipped kitchen which means that you can dine in and not have to go out for every meal. Just think how much a full restaurant breakfast costs and then take a look at how little it costs to pop to the local supermarket and stock up on cereals, bread, pancake mix, bacon and eggs or whatever else takes your fancy.

And yes, I haven't forgotten that you are on vacation and with that in mind I will tell you that staying in a professionally managed rental vacation home you will experience most of the amenities that many hotels offer such as spa treatments, in-home massages, pre-arrival grocery delivery and if you desire a personal chef.

Steve Trover, a founding member of Discover Vacation Homes, also points out that a rental vacation home suits all needs whether it be a family reunion, honeymoon, annual family vacation, weddings or even team building seminars.

There are now many rental vacation home companies and all travelers can be assured that they are reputable if they are members of the Vacation Rental manager's Association (VRMA).

Another plus for choosing a rental vacation home is the mere fact that most professional management companies have multiple rentals in their inventory and can offer discounts on last minute bookings along with value added benefits that can include coupons for local places of interests and activities and some even offer complimentary rental cars.
