VACATION CONDOS

As Americans seek to stretch their dollars in order to preserve their well-deserved vacations, many are turning to vacation condos to stay in when they arrive at their destinations.

And people who own condos in many vacation destination spots are offering their property for short-term rental in order to generate income. Both practices are increasing in popularity.

At OwnACondo.com, we know that for the traveler, choosing a vacation condominium over a hotel or motel can have distinct advantages. The benefits can include:

• Affordability. The savings of staying in a vacation condo can be considerable. Rates and terms of a vacation condo are often more flexible than corporate-owned lodging.
• Less money spent eating out with a condo kitchen available. Take a trip to the grocery store and stock up for your stay, cooking and snacking economically.
• Less clothing brought on the trip because a washer/dryer is usually located right in the condo, or at least somewhere in the condo building.
• Privacy. Family members can have individual rooms, instead of being all lumped together. This can especially affect how much you can save over hotel lodging if your family would normally require more than one room.
• More room in a rental condo than typical hotel accommodations.
• Activities that might be available at the condo property, especially if it is a condo resort property.

Although corporate-owned lodging provides a certain uniformity and predictability that some travelers may find appealing, families, couples and individuals are finding a stay in a vacation condo to be the perfect match for their budget, taste and lifestyles.

For those renting a vacation condo, the systems in place to insure a pleasant stay are typically very efficient and designed to make things as hassle-free as possible. Keys might be in an on-site lockbox or management office, and the condos are kept clean and tidy by the owners of a service the owners hire. Visitors often find their vacation condo to simply be more comfortable and homey than the accommodations available in a hotel or motel.
