TIME TO GO CONDO, “UPGRADE YOURSELF BY VACATIONING IN
A CONDO”
By Clay Larroy
The
preparation for a vacation is almost as exhilarating as the vacation itself. I
love printing out the tickets and confirmations while thinking about how much
fun I will have on vacation. I enjoy researching all the sights at the location
I will see once I arrive at my destination. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Anyone looking for
unique vacation accommodations, and especially those who want the space and
comforts of home, should consider a vacation rental - lodging that moves beyond
a crowded hotel room and provides options that range from a studio apartment to
a resort condo, to single-family homes, villas, and cottages.
Since vacation
rental opportunities exist all over the world, a good travel consultant can
help you narrow down a destination, book everyone’s travel, and make sure you
have little else to do but pack and relax. Most importantly, travel consultants
have resources that identify reliable rental companies, protecting your
vacation investment dollars (also note that the companies offered by travel
consultants will not require you to attend ‘time share’ or investment
opportunity seminars as a result of your vacation rental).
From studio
apartments and resort condos to single-family homes, villas and cottages, there
are a wide range of vacation accommodations. Imagine a fully equipped kitchen,
washer and dryer, living room, dining area, and other great amenities. Many
properties offer a private or communal pool, hot tub, on-site fitness center
and nearby shopping. Tennis anyone? Golf? Need to take the children out? You
can be sure to find something for everyone, which makes a vacation rental a
great choice for family get-togethers, especially knowing you can add
additional guests without paying extra.
Many vacation
rentals include:
- Spacious
condos, villas and homes
- Amenities such
as refrigerators for snacks/beverages
- In-unit
laundry facilities, just in case!
- Swimming
pools and hot tubs
- Children’s
activities, bicycles, golf, and tennis
- Spa and
exercise facilities, and more...
Typical hotel
rooms can be confining and often don’t provide an opportunity for fellow
travelers to retreat and relax in their own spaces. And without kitchen
facilities, you have the additional cost of eating out three times a day. Even
if you have an unlimited budget - you still have the option to indulge your
inner chef by picking up groceries from a corner market to experiment with the
local cuisine. Lastly, don’t forget the packing perks - with a washer and
dryer, you can pack light and leave plenty of room for souvenirs.
While rentals are perfect for
stays at the beach - know that you can have the same conveniences almost
anywhere. Whether you want to explore the Italian vineyards of Tuscany, bike
along the countryside in France, see amazing shows in Vegas, have an
attractions adventure in Orlando, or relax and rejuvenate in Mexico, your
travel consultant can help you find the perfect accommodations.
Be sure to also talk to your
travel agent about your budget. You may be surprised to find that, for the cost
of a long weekend at a hotel, you can often stay for a whole week at a vacation
rental. Plus, with no extra charge for additional guests up to the maximum
occupancy, you get a significant per person cost savings (not to mention
reduced costs for food).
Regarding budget, be sure to find out what consumable products
you will need to purchase, such as food, beverages, and soaps, which may or may
not be included as part of the rental. On your way to the property after you
arrive, make a brief stop at a local market to pick up necessities.
