Be glad you stayed in a VacationPad!
Vacation rentals offer a whole different means of accommodation than what you may be used to. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway for two in the mountains, or a family trip to the beach, vacation rentals can maximize your return on vacation and provide you with a truly unique and memorable vacationing experience. From funky beach homes to luxury chalets and villas, you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for in a vacation rental.
What is a VacationPad?

A VacationPad is any type of privately owned accommodation that is fully equipped and furnished for use as a vacation rental. Such rentals may be homes, condos, bed-and-breakfasts, chalets, villas, cabins, etc. Full kitchens, dining areas, entertainment devices, clean linens, comfortable beds, and more are typical of vacation rentals. Usually, you speak to the owner or manager of these accommodations directly in order to book a rental thus affording you the opportunity to negotiate the cost of a rental based on your specific requirements.

How are VacationPads different from other accommodations, like hotels?
Vacation rentals offer numerous advantages over your ordinary getaway accommodations:
Maximum value for your vacationing budget

Whether you're on a tight budget or looking to splurge, you can almost always find vacation rentals for prices similar to what you're willing to spend on hotel accommodations. And, if you're traveling with large groups or families, you would be hard-pressed to find hotel accommodations offering the same value that vacation rentals offer.

Typically, vacation rentals will have considerably more space than ordinary hotel rooms and will contain many of the amenities and comforts found in your own home. And, since many vacation rentals offer full kitchens and dining areas, you can undoubtedly save money by making the occasional lunch or dinner instead of always eating out.

Travel like a tourist, but don't live like one!
One of the greatest advantages of vacation rentals is that they are usually nestled in residential areas. Escape the monotony of large chains and resorts - kick back and relax, without worrying about neighbors banging on your walls or being disturbed by anxious hotel staff. Make lasting memories by staying in truly unique accommodations as opposed to settling for the most standard and routine!
Location is everything
Vacation rentals are often available in areas that are only zoned for residential use and tend to offer a much greater sense of privacy versus hotels. You can get closer to where you want to be and remain secluded from hordes of people, flashing neon signs and honking automobiles - the type of annoyances you may be trying to take a vacation from. From mountain-top chalets to seaside beach houses, get the most out of your vacation by remaining close to what's brought you on vacation!
Accommodations with class
Since vacation rentals are privately owned, you can be sure that the property's owner often stays at these properties when they're not in use. Owners tend to take great pride in their properties and accordingly treat them as they would their primary residence. Property owners genuinely care about your vacation and want you to have the best possible experience while enjoying their property.
Get some fresh air
The key to any successful vacation is plenty of rest and relaxation. Many vacation rentals come with outdoor areas (porches, balconies, lanais, etc.) where you can relax sipping Mai-Tais, enjoy a barbecue or just gaze at the stars. Whether you've taken a jet or jet-ski to get to your vacation rental, you want to take in all that your rental has to offer while you're there.
