The credit crunch means vacation rentals are only going to get more popular as families and holidaymakers try to cut costs and go on “staycations” closer to home – see this recent article in the UK Times newspaper for example.

Vacation Rentals are a far better choice than hotels. Especially here in Hawaii. You can get locations that are worth it for the privacy and exotic country side view. Private beach access is common with vacation rentals and so Is a private entrance. It takes you away from all the hustle and bustle in Honolulu town. You’re right on with the value you get for the extra amenities. It’s well worth the extra.

I’m also looking into getting a vacation rental that allows pets. Most do, but some of the higher end ones vacation rentals are still strict about their no pet rules.

It’s amazing to see how quickly these companies are growing both their inventories, traveler base, and mainstream awareness.

I’ve stayed in some apartments myself while traveling, and as another commented said, the kitchen is a blessing.

The current consolidation phase will continue, and I think the end result will be nearly as easy to use as a hotel booking site.

Great post, and there seems to be a big (market) opportunity for it in Florida.

I do prefer vacation rentals, It’s better than hotels as I find it much more enjoyable and the freedom I get for my family and pets has no comparison or price for me.
Great blog, thanks for publishing.

The online vacation rental market is growing – there is room for expansion on almost every level. Making sure you’re playing the game and growing your competitive market share should be your primary objective right now.

In retrospect I have researched into this topic before deciding to go into the online vacation rentals market. Currently we are seeing a huge growth rate in readership and bookings to our site which is still fresh of the press. We can confirm that there will be an influx of vacation homes rented versus hotel rooms rented. From a travelers perspective it is cheaper to rent a vacation home versus staying in a hotel. Escpeccially in this hard economic times that we are enduring it is best to say that there are better vacation home deals then hotel deals. There is less overhead for a vacation home owner then the hotel owners.

Clearly vacation rentals is the way to go!!

We have RV and it’s a good way to save money while traveling.
