There is no shortage of information on the vacation rental. I've written several articles on the topic myself and I still have more to say on the subject. Vacation rentals are a great choice for everyone! Even though each of us has different interests and a various ways of enjoying leisure time, the vacation rental concept is unique in its ability to accommodate everyone's interests.

This is exactly why the vacation rental concept is so widely accepted and gaining popularity day by day. The freedom of choice inherent in the vacation rental makes it a great alternative to all other forms of accommodation.

As you plan your trip, you will need to have a thorough understanding of what each member of your party expects from the vacation. Let me introduce you to the Poole family.

Roger Poole: 51 year old male - golf enthusiast - likes his creature comforts - enjoys outdoor activities - hates stress

Emily Poole: 42 year old female - loves to shop - enjoys crafts - loves to cook - likes to maintain a routine for her family

Justin Poole: 17 year old male - enjoys skateboarding - swimming - loves to eat

Trent Poole: 12 year old male - video game pro - Internet surfer extraordinaire - soccer fan

Carey Poole: 7 year old female - loves to read - enjoys nature, especially wildlife - likes the beach

How would you meet the needs of this family in terms of a vacation destination? Yes, a vacation rental and here's why:

Roger will enjoy the vacation rental because he will have convenient access to his favorite past time, golf. He will enjoy all the creature comforts of home, including his wife's cooking. Myriad outdoor activities are just footsteps away.

Emily can maintain her family's routine because she will be in a home environment. She will be convenient to all the shopping she enjoys. She can explore her crafts in the comfort of home and cook her family meals insuring that her coveted routine is maintained.

Justin can skateboard to his heart's content. Swimming is just a few yards away and he can satisfy is insatiable appetite, courtesy of Emily's home cooked meals.

Carey can read in a comfortable and home like atmosphere. Nature walks abound and the beach is within walking distance.

Okay, maybe you can accomplish all this in a well-located resort hotel, but at what cost. You would need a large suite to accommodate a family of five!

A vacation rental, selected with the needs of your family or party in mind, can provide the best vacation experience at the least cost. I defy you to find a better alternative in price, convenience, comfort and overall experience a vacation rental provides.

Whether your destination is exotic, or you just want to stay stateside, a vacation rental will meet your needs. I implore you to consider this increasingly popular accommodation for your next vacation. Explore your needs, the needs of your family and then explore the Internet for a wealth of information about vacation rentals all over the world. You will not be disappointed!
