While searching for a summer vacation, I came across a concept I was not really familiar with. The concept was vacation rentals. These are houses, villas, bungalows and even apartments, that you can actually rent instead of a hotel room. You usually rent direct from the owner. I thought that was a great idea.
In other countries they have holiday rentals too, for example they have Villas in Spain and Flats in London.
I was amazed that so many people actually do this kind of thing. What really surprised me more is that there are even Pet Friendly Rentals where you can take along your dog or cat.
I think the growth in vacation rentals brings a whole new dimention to planning your vacation.
