Vacation rental refers to the practice of renting out a furnished apartment or house on a temporary basis to tourists, as an alternative to a hotel. Vacation rentals have long been a popular travel option in Europe and are becoming increasingly popular across the world. In some countries such as England, Ireland, the government promotes holiday rentals, even offering its own program of holiday/vacation rentals.
A vacation rental is a fully furnished property, such as a condo, or single-family-style home. The client/traveler arranges to rent the vacation rental property for a designated period of time. Many rent on a nightly basis just as you would hotel rooms, however usually weekly rentals are in order. A true vacation rental is not for sale to the guest, and is only available for rent.
Vacation rentals are generally appealing for many reasons, the major ones being cost savings and more space. There are no tips, taxes or service charges with vacation rentals, which are all required when staying in hotel rooms. These rentals also enable one to live in a real neighborhood and soaking up the culture of the locals.
Vacation rentals can range from budget apartments to lavish, expensive private villas in the world's most desirable locations.
