Vacation House Rentals Worldwide

Vacationing Globally in Neighborhoods

Travelers are doing it all the time - bypassing the hotel experience in favor of settling in to a more authentic way of vacationing.

From beaches to mountains to vineyards to cities - in nooks and crannies you might never have expected, there are vacation homes for rent. And every one of them has it's unique flavor.

A place to stretch out and even have friends and family over for a barbecue or to spend the week.

Hotels are OK for a few days but if you want to settle in with all the amenities and save money to boot, you're looking for Vacation Home Rentals.

Celebrate weddings, birthdays, Thanksgiving or just the fact that you're together.

Rent a vacation house or condo in an exotic location and still have all the conveniences of a fully equipped home in an established neighborhood.

A rapidly growing segment of the traveling population is opting for vacation house rentals rather than staying in a small room in a crowded hotel or resort. And who can blame them when you look at the advantages?

What We Like About Vacation House Rentals

Our Mistake

Get The Address - Even if you make arrangements to be met at the airport.

Due to a mix-up we never connected with our ride at the Antigua airport and we didn't know the address.

Thanks to Samuel - a knowlegable taxi driver - our butts were saved.

Cost - Rentals are an amazingly good deal.

Amenities - Full sized fridge, BBQ (my husband's 2 favorite things) along with room for everyone to stretch out, outdoor spaces, sometimes even swimming pools are included.

Privacy - When you open your bedroom door there won't be a stranger from across the hall standing there.

Group Vacations - Rent a multi room house to share with your favorite people for a family celebration or an annual get-together.

Expanse - Plenty of room to be together but enough room for everyone to have their own space too. Perfect for the whole family, or situations where friends or the grandchildren will join you.

Pets - A number of listings welcome pets.

Whether you're looking for a villa on a Tuscan hillside, a New York condo or a Caribbean beach house you'll find something spectacular on the list.

HomeAway has compiled an impressive list of over 1 million vacation rental properties around the world.
