Home Away.....from home


Sometimes you just don't want to do the whole hotel thing.  Maybe you're going somewhere with a group or just want something new...how about renting a house? or villa? or condo?  Most people write the idea off right away thinking it's too expensive.  In some cases, it actually cheaper than a hotel for the same amount of time.  Some rentals offer a butler, maid or even a cook for an extra fee.  How awesome is that? I recommend calling the owner directly when possible and negotiating a rate over the phone.  Given the current state of the economy many owners are ready to deal.  Homeaway.com is one of my favorite go-to sites.  A clean, easy to navigate site, good pictures and testimonials make it actually fun to search for just the right place....anywhere.
