So your idea for your next vacation is getting away from the bustling city and its business to a place where you have a view of the ocean, beach or a nature reserve. In a place where there is no hassle associated with hotel bookings and housekeeping but is affordable and homey for the whole family. From the above description you are basically looking for a vacation rental and the next step after making that decision is to [b]find a website for vacation rentals[/b]. If you plan on booking a vacation rental apartment or home online you probably want to start now before all the good vacation rental options are taken and gone. Some experts in the industry state that ‘the best time to book a vacation rental home is in late spring and early summer, between the end of May and early July, because the busiest time of the year for vacation home rental bookings is after July”. Further, other experts say that “December 26th is the best time and most popular date for last minute reservations for travelers hoping to get away for the New Year”.

Vacation homes are the most popular alternative to hotels mainly because of the low price rate associated with vacation rentals in comparison to hotels. Also vacation rentals offer what most hotels fail to offer:

- More space for your money
- Kitchen facilities, and
- The beauty of accommodating large families or family groups vacationing together

The only problem associated with booking vacation rentals is the large number of websites that offer rental bookings, which make it hard to know where to look and what to look for. One thing that must be noted is that top booking websites offer accommodation in respect of vacation rentals by way of:

- Villas
- Condos
- Residences
- Chalets
- Suites
- Cottages
- Rooms
- Full houses
- Apartments

Before the internet came about people basically had no interest in going to live at a stranger’s house as vacation lodgings and thus hotels flourished as they were the only source of accommodation for travelers. Also getting round to get private vacation rentals was a slow and impractical move which required the vacationer to be involved in a lot of phone calls, mailing document packages and a lot of leg work to solve all sorts of problems, thus in the end vacationers sucked it up and stayed in hotels despite the price of booking rooms for whole families. However, with the introduction of the internet people became more than happy to share their homes with strangers and vacationers were more than happy to live in a stranger’s home. This thus balanced the issue of supply and demand of vacation rentals with ease of access which in most cases has been delightfully successful.

However, a common fear by most vacationers is not getting what they expect out of their vacation rental. Where descriptions state that the rental is near the train station; does it mean the train station is a walking distance or that you will be woken up at 4am by the rumbling of the train? Therefore, it is important that vacationers do the following:
- Read the fine print
- Read reviews
- Learn the local law
- Protect your payment by paying by credit card
