You want your honeymoon to be a very special time. So why should you choose a Honeymoon Vacation Rental instead of a Big Resort? Here are some of the reasons we hear:

Honeymoon Rentals are more unique, individual, and intimate. While its true that some ultra high priced resorts have unique accommodations, most offer a choice between three or four floor plans and decor, that are repeated 100 times. So you wind up with a box just like 20 other boxes or more at the same property, right down to the same placement of the TV and the same bedspread. To be sure, some of them are very nice boxes, but what if you want to Honeymoon outside the box?

Vacation Rentals are an ideal choice for those who plan an extended vacation and like to eat self cooked food or food of their own liking not depending on the fixed menus of hotels and Vacation rentals, an alternative to hotel, where one can rent a furnished apartment or a house on temporary basis, have an advantage in as much as they have fewer rules and regulations to bind you during your vacation.

At the most, the owner may insist:

That you do not incur any damage to his property.
A minimum stay of two to three days, especially on weekends and during holidays.
A refundable deposit

I read this article today about how vacations are on the out. Apparently 43% of people do work on their holiday. I know, I know, I’ve written about this before, but I cannot stress enough the fact that if I didn’t have holidays my head with explode, and I think, when you really get down to it, and look at yourself in the mirror, you will want to put your blackberry, palm pilots, laptops, and cell phones in a small locked boxes and hide them under 2 1/2 years of movies you haven’t seen yet because you’ve been working. So do me a favor, and try and get yourself a long weekend at least for 2 weeks from now. On that Monday off, sleep in, eat breakfast in your PJs, and go enjoy what is left of our quickly fading summer! Please!

You have established yourself as a vacation rental owner, you have a steady growth of guests renting your property, and you are looking for a way to increase your profit while not having to spend a lot more money.  Some people may say it is impossible, but we say install a hot tub. A hot tub is something that has the ability to give your vacation rental property the extra push it might need.

When someone is looking at a property they are looking at a checklist in their mind. For example, I was recently looking into a Banff Vacation Rental home for a summer trip with a group of friends next year. I was looking for something that has enough room for my group, rented by the month, had a good view of the mountains - although it is hard not have a good view - and if was a pet friendly vacation rental (finding a pet friendly vacation rental can be tough too, but that is a whole different story). If I were looking at say my top two choices both were about the same size within the same price range, but one had a hot tub. I would choose the Vacation rental with a hot tub simply because it would be fun to have. A hot tub is an amenity that a lot of people would really enjoy having. I know I would.

So if you are a vacation rental owner, consider installing a hot tub on your property. It will pay for itself in the end.

Vacation home rentals in the San Bernardino Mountains must obtain permits and follow certain health and safety standards under an ordinance approved Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors. Vacation Rentals Intl.com thinks this is a great idea, and more cities should look into regulating vacation rental properties. The more standards and regulations there are, the less likely you the customer are going to have a bad experience. Some bad vacation rental owners will sneak through the cracks, but if someone complains and they end up having a license to rent a vacation property taken away I think everyone is better off for it.

As a vacation rental owner renting out your private rental home can be a tough business. No matter how amazing your vacation property is if you do not market it right you will not get any response. There are simple ways of going about advertising your Vacation Rental Property.

First off you should start locally. Do not try to spread all you resources all at once. If the best you can do is putting up flyers in local stores or on community bulletin boards that is fine. Just always make sure to make your flyers look professional. Check your spelling and grammar, take a nice picture of your vacation rental property, and try to create something that is not only informative, but also eye-catching.

Once you’ve got a handle on local advertising and you are interested in moving into bigger pastures, get ready for the internet.

Obviously if you are reading this you will know something about the internet, luckily now a day the web is becoming easier for everyone to navigate. Try your hand at signing up at some of the many vacation rentals by owner websites out there. Many of these websites will charge a minor fee to post your vacation rental online. That way when people are searching for say a Kauai Hawaii Vacation Rental, they will come across your Kauai Vacation Home in their searches. Anytime you are advertising online be descriptive as possible. Use nice, up-to-date photos, be sure to list all your rental amenities, and let people know if you allow smokers, or if you vacation rental is pet friendly. A lot of people search for specific amenities and extras in a vacation rental. If you can supply those extras, let them know.

You can take online marketing to even higher level by setting up a private website for your Vacation Rental. If you can make something informative and eye catching it can almost guarantee people will rent your vacation rental home.

Are you unsure if you can afford a big summer family vacation rental? You still want to take the kids with you, but there are some budget issues?

During peak seasons most Vacation Rental properties go up in price. Why? Supply and demand really. If you aren’t going to pay a higher price, someone else will. That is why I think that sometimes it is a good idea to look into renting a vacation home in the off season. It might not provide that perfect beach weather you were hoping for, but there is still plenty to do: Hiking and exploring, family games, shopping and reading that book you have been meaning to read for the last two years.

There is no limit to what you can do on your own vacation! This is the beauty of a vacation. So the next time you are searching for a vacation rental home, try looking at the off-season prices too. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I read a great article today about why the United States should mandate paid vacation for all today. Apparently almost a third of all employed American women are given no paid leave, and up to a quarter of working men get no pay from their employer if they take a week or more off for rest and recreation. According to various studies vacations are way a boost to the health of employees. An employee who has a vacation can come back refreshed, more creative, with a better work attitude, and possibly more productive, for a time.
