More Room & Amenities than a Hotel

Traveler Testimonial

Name:Harold

Destination:

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
"We got started the way many tourists do: planning one of those all-inclusive trips to Cancun. That would have been a very bad mistake. Renting a home is so, so much better. Our home was second row on the beach, four bedrooms, four baths, with a great rooftop view, staff of two, pool, huge kitchen, and all the modern amenities like washer/dryer, etc. It was only an eight-minute walk to the wonderful town and excellent, cheap restaurants.  And last, but not least- the rental was a very good price.”

 




Property 170576

Name:Jean

Destination:

Siesta Key, Florida
"The owner had everything we needed for a great time. The bicycles were fun for the kids to ride, the stroller was helpful to get out to the beach with an infant. Toys, games, video library and of course the pool were extremely good for entertaining the family. This home... was really perfect for three couples to share."





Cheaper than Hotels or Resorts

Property 174494

Name:Happy Campers

Destination:

Orlando, Florida
"How can you go wrong when you can spend your vacation time relaxing in the luxury of a beautiful, sparklingly clean 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom fully appointed home complete with it’s own private pool and spa, 2 master suites with king-size beds, game room, covered lanai, massive main TV and a total of 5 televisions and 5 DVD players? Answer: you can’t. And it’s pretty amazing that if you added up the cost of a single room at a Disney property that sleeps 4, and the cost of every meal, snack and beverage, it is LESS EXPENSIVE!  We will NEVER stay in a hotel again – it would be insane!"


Property 144032

Name:The Cooper Family

Destination:

Jamaica
"We had a great time as a family at Sierra-La-Mar Villa in Jamaica over Christmas. The views were spectacular. The house was great! We had 14 guests -- 11 of them women; so the six bathrooms and lots of space worked great. What we also had was great service -- from the owner's personal attention, to the great personal chef, and to the daily cleaning service. It was an unbelievable value with all the personal attention associated with a 1st class hotel."

Property 160913

Name:Jeff

Destination:

Mount Snow, Vermont
"The house was perfect and fit our needs...we hung around the fireplace and played board games, had a few drinks while we played pool, and soaked in the hot tub after a long day on the slopes. We had Guitar Hero set up on the TV in the living room and Mario Cart set up downstairs in the game room. The house was perfect for getting out and hiking up the trails intersecting the property, sleigh-riding out back, and hanging out by the fire pit at night."


164803

Name:Ian

Destination:

Mont Tremblant, Quebec
"This year we decided that for our annual management gathering, instead of going to a stuffy hotel and sitting in a dull conference room all day, we'd try something different. So we decided to rent the lovely Le Geant chalet, where we could walk around in sweatpants, lounge around the fireplace and talk about the upcoming year. This was a huge success, i dont think we will be going back to the hotel scenario again. We cooked together, ate around the long dinner table, drank beer, took long walks in the afternoon, and - oh yes - got a lot of work done. The environment was perfect for accomplishing the bonding experience you hope to gain in such a gathering."





Advertisements You Can Trust

Property 149269

Name:MJ's Grandpa

Destination:

Tuscany, Italy
"Having never rented a 'home' in Europe before we were somewhat apprehensive regarding what we would find when we arrived. Our concerns disappeared before we were unpacked. The web site very accurately portrayed the facilities, ambiance and more-than-friendly and professional services of the staff. The accommodations are spotlessly clean and flawlessly appointed including furnishings that fit in perfectly with the Tuscan country home."





Perfect for Family Vacations

Property 177420

Name:Rick & Amy

Destination:

Boone, North Carolina
"The cabin was modern and beautiful. We planned on visiting more area attractions than we did. Instead, we took advantage of the beauty that surrounded the cabin itself. It allowed me to spend quality time with my three young children and reconnect with them. Together we went for walks in the woodlands and picked berries, fished and swam together in the lake behind the cabin, and went tubing down the river. We also saw deer walking through the back yard in the morning. I was blessed to have had this relaxing vacation experience with my family.”


Property 134670

Name:Daniel & Kelly

Destination:

Newport, Rhode Island
"We had a fabulous time at this house for Fourth of July, we were even able to enjoy the fireworks from the front deck! This house was perfect for all ages, we had everything from a 6month old to 65 year olds - everyone had a blast- there was plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing as well as a great set up for us all to eat and drink and play games together - The house was perfect for large groups with all its dining space and deck space!"
