Vacation homes for rent are a prized commodity in vacation destinations that are packed with tourists all year long. Instead of investing lots of money in a hotel room with few amenities and very little space, you can put your money into a rental house that will be a home away from home.

With vacation rentals, you can opt for the things you want, choose the things you need, and relax in the comfort of a house that will exceed any previous accommodations. Searching for the rentals that will be a good match for you and your family requires nothing more than the use of a website or company that can point you in the right direction and show you all of the available properties in a particular vacation destination. Using a search engine gives you an opportunity to see all the pricing and housing options available in a selected area without having to use a real estate agent. With all of the options in front of you–instead of just the ones that the agent wants you to see–you can make a fully informed decision about where to stay and how much you can really afford to do.

Vacation rentals save you more money the more people that you bring and the longer that you are in them. With a hotel, oftentimes you will pay a nightly rate that goes up with each person staying in the room beyond two. Many vacation rentals charge weekly flat rates during the summer, meaning that if the rental goes for $1,500 for a week, it doesn’t matter if you bring two or ten people, it will still cost the same. On the other hand, four people sharing two hotel rooms at say, $150 a room per night, will cost you $2,100 for a week. If you could spend less or even the same amount to rent a whole house equipped with a kitchen, washer and dryer, outdoor shower, and rooms for everyone who wanted them, why wouldn’t you?

Don’t go back to a hotel in your favorite destination when there are many vacation homes for rent that will save you money in the long run and will provide you with a more pleasant experience.

Image of Disney World Entrance

The best way to approach a Disney World vacation is to embrace the fact that you can’t do it all. Each of Disney World’s four theme parks is a vacation in itself. Choosing just one or two parks to explore takes the pressure off, allowing you to relax and enjoy your Orlando vacation.

Follow these insider tips and the ones in our previous post and your Disney World vacation will be a dream come true.

• Disney World’s popular restaurants book up fast so make reservations as soon as you schedule your Orlando vacation rentals on iTrip.net. Keep in mind that Disney World fare rarely rises above average. What you’re paying for is the ambience and the price is pretty steep. The character breakfast is worth the price if you have young children. Otherwise, you’re better off eating breakfast at your Orlando condo rental before you leave for the park and packing bottled water and a few snacks to take with you. Catch a quick lunch at the park but return to your condo for dinner or explore some of Orlando’s many excellent restaurants.
• To avoid long lines at premium rides, take advantage of the free FastPass system.
• Schedule shows after lunch so you’ll have a comfortable place to get out of the heat and reenergize.
• Pick one night to stay for the fireworks and watch from a spot near the main gate so you can beat the traffic going home. Otherwise, leave the park at least an hour before closing to avoid the mad dash for the exit.

If you have children of a certain age, a trip to Disney World is sure to be in your future. For kids, a trip to the Orland, Florida home of the world’s most famous mouse is a dream come true. But for parents, monstrous crowds, long lines, oppressive humidity, and the presence of thousands of over-stimulated children (including your own) can cast a pall over what is supposed to be the ultimate family vacation. However, if you’re in the know, your Disney World vacation can indeed be the stuff that dreams are made of – just follow these insider tips:

• Ignore the advice to stay onsite and book Orlando vacation rentals on iTrip.net. If you stay onsite, the constant barrage of all things Disney will keep you and your children wound up. Even when you’re away from the action in the park, you can’t truly relax. Mickey or Goofy could pop up in the hotel lobby or restaurant at any minute! Mickey and his pals set an exhausting pace, and little feet racing up and down the resort hallways at all hours isn’t exactly conducive to a good night’s sleep! Honestly, you’ll find your trip to Disney World much more enjoyable, relaxing, and affordable, if you stay in beautifully-appointed Orlando vacation rentals and spend some time away from the frenzy at the mouse house.
• Quench your thirst for free at Epcot. You can sample cola flavors from around the world free at the World of Coke pavilion. To find it, walk toward the fountains when you exit Epcot’s iconic sphere and follow the sidewalk around to the right.

Image of Beach Rental in Sarasota

A day on the beach is a breeze when you’ve got the right gear. New, lightweight beach gear in easy-to-carry or wearable packs makes short work of setting up for a day of fun in the sun. Whether you’ve booked well-appointed Sarasota condo rentals or charming Siesta Key beach rentals on iTrip.net, you’ll enjoy your relaxing vacation to the Beaches of Sarasota, Florida that much more when you don’t have to trek a load of heavy gear down to the beach every day.

The next time you head for the beach, here’s what to take along:

• Providing a spot of shade on the beach gives you a place to duck out of the sun’s rays once in a while. People have been lugging beach umbrellas onto the sand for decades, but they’re heavy, bulky and unwieldy; a struggle to carry. And when you do manage to wrestle them down to the beach, they provide only a small circle of shade. This year, scrap the beach umbrellas in favor of Noah’s Tarp by Kelty, the respected tent maker. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the 9-foot square tarp provides enough shade for the whole family and looks uber sleek.
• The beaches of Sarasota have a picturesque beauty that begs to be photographed. And the sunsets are magnificent! But digital cameras and smart phones don’t mix well with sand and water. Protect your personal electronics with handy AquaPacs. These pouches come in a variety of sizes, are 100% waterproof, and allow you to use cameras and phones without removing them from the pack.
