Forgo the Motel to Secure Killer Vacation Savings
Posted on August 9th, 2009 No commentsToday’s discount travel advice is about saving money and experiencing all the “comforts of home” for true Florida family vacation deals. Vacation rental homes and condos provide a cost effective contrast to inns and suites. Bargains are earned by two methods:
Rental homes offer good sized price per person discounts over more than one hotel rooms. As a result of their bigger number of rooms, the vacation home generates a killer savings for the budget-conscious vacationer. For this scenario, a family of 6 could fill up to 3 suites at the price of $150/nt. That comes out to $3,150 for a week stay. In some hot spots, a luxury 3-bedroom villa or large condo might run as little as $1,500 or under $36 per person per night.
Don’t be surprised to get a significant discount on dining prices. A vacation home rental usually has a kitchen, filled with pots, pans, and other items you would want to dine in. With just one meal a day that is home prepared, your family could easily save $10/day per person. In addition, coffee, beverages, and snacks can be stocked and much cheaper than convenience store, room service, or mini bar prices. This savings alone is enough to qualify vacation home rentals as all inclusive travel deals.
Rental homes give the best Europe vacation deals, allowing you to upgrade at no extra cost with increased amenities and living space. Not only are vacation rentals nice for saving big bucks (or upgrading to more luxurious accommodations for the same price), but they have a number of other advantages. Not as much noise, due to no or fewer shared walls, greater privacy, big common areas that can hold the whole family, and bonus features like secluded decks, patios, yards, and even pools and jacuzzis. Some higher end vacation rentals might even include a car, shuttle, cook, or maid service.
