Snagging an apartment, bungalow, villa, or pretty much any space of your own definitely has its advantages - financial and otherwise. And sometimes you don't even have to give up maid service!

How to make your home a thriving short-term rental

In recent years, Airbnb has transformed from a small startup concept into a global travel powerhouse, enabling homeowners to generate additional income and travelers to enjoy unique accommodations. If you’ve ever considered turning a spare room, guesthouse, or property into an Airbnb rental, you’ve likely wondered what it takes to create a space guests will love—and what sets successful listings apart from those that struggle. Launching a thriving Airbnb business involves much more than posting…

A wonderful vacation rental in Inverness, Scotland

UnTours Ask most anyone what comes to mind when they think of Scotland and you’ll probably hear bagpipes, kilts, tartans – maybe the brogue and haggis (about which more later). If the year were 1746, you would probably have heard the same thing. But it was in that year, after the Battle of Culloden when the English decimated the Scots, after which they set about to systematically rid the country and its people of their identity and traditions. It didn’t work, which makes it all the more…

England's relaxing, uplifting Grasmere Lake District and its holiday rentals

  The Lakes Escape   The Lake District of Cumbria in northwest England, a 5½-hour drive from London and two from Liverpool and Manchester, is a mountainous region and national park renowned for its gorgeous scenery - centering around 19 eponymous lakes - as well as its literary associations with a group of 19th-century "Lake Poets" such as William Wordsworth (one of his most famous poems, "Daffodils," was inspired here), Beatrix Potter (of Peter Rabbit fame), and John Ruskin (a highly…

  • just want to share this - we are fully booked for the new year.
  • Tricia is correct that having local staff is a true benefit particularly when traveling to a foreign country.  We have local bilingual staff who personally meet and greet each client at the home, review operating systems of the home, answer questions and leave a local phone number that is answered 24/7.  We also offer full concierge services as a benefit to our clients. In addition most of our homes and condos have internet service free to the client and the majority of our homes and villas have vonage phone systems which provide unlimited free calls to the US and Canada. Again, additional benefits of a private home or villa. www.bajasurvacationrentals.com
  • We have clients as well from the cold regions of the US and Canada that come to Cabo for 1-3 months at a time.  We have some that are back for the 4th and 5th years.  Long term rates are reduced and makes it affordable.
  • Vacation rentals are also a great option for longer seasonal escapes. Since our winters are sunny and warm but not stifling humid and hot like the beaches, Snowbirds from the frozen north come back each winter soaking up the daily sun and enjoying outdoor sports. Retirees can dip their toes into retirement destinations to see if care-free living at a fraction of the cost is worth moving to a foreign country. During the long summer season, families come to study Spanish for a month or more while traveling to different destinations using the home as a base. So having a home away from home for a seasonal stay is ideal for those who need more than just a week vacation.
  • Yes. The privacy and togetherness you get in a villa is by far better than having your group in separate rooms and having a "communal" gathering spot. Depending on location most have private pools, daily maid - even a cook (or all-inclusive plan). In my case there is always a property manager or, in some cases the owner, who is there to answer your questions and attend to your needs. This can be comforting to those who are a little "afraid" of being in a foreign country and thinking they're left to fend for themselves. I personally think a villa will allow you to experience more of the country. Costa Rica Vacation Rentals www.crvacationrentals.com  shameless plug :) 

  • I agree with Cheryl.  I have been in the Vacation Rental business for 12 years and  when traveling with friends and family have realized that in almost all cases we prefer vacation rentals.  We have rented in Sun River, Oregon, Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, and Cabo.  It's so nice to be able to all gather together for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner around the table in friendship.  When we all stay in the same place, in my opinion, we get a better valued vacation not only in time spent together but a savings in our pocketbooks as well.
  • Vacation rentals are a perfect way to travel. Beautiful homes, comfortable homes,

    cozy cottages, luxury estates with all the amenities like washers and dryers, gourmet cookware, plenty of linens, shampoo and bath products, dog run and more! Vacation rentals provide a secure spot from which to see all of the sights, share time with friends and family and be totally uninterrupted by hotel staff, noisy neighbors or chatty guests. Come to Oregon wine country soon and beat the the Spring and Summer rush while rates are lowest. Two bedroom, one bath or five bedroom, five bath. See more at www.bakerstreetinn.com
