Vacation Rentals – More Affordable, More Perks

Despite the worldwide economic crisis, many families continue to make travel plans for their vacations each year. Over 1.8 million travelers search for vacation rentals. Family vacations is still viewed as a priority in many households.

With rental prices dropping and incentives offered, vacation rentals have become more popular and more affordable once again. However, for homeowners, it is more difficult these days to find qualified renters. As property listings increases, so does the competition.

Homeowners have been forced to aggressively find ways to make their rental property stand out if they want to compete in today’s real estate market. Some owners have taken extraordinary measures to create a fantasy-like vacation rental that will temporarily help travelers escape from their every day struggles. Others are offering valuable incentives to help reduce vacation expenses i.e. free or reduced ski lessons, golf passes, boat rentals, movie tickets, and discounted dinners at local restaurants.

Many homeowners have joined forces with their local establishments. Store owners advertise property listings on the message boards while offering free and discounted coupons to attract renters to come and visit their stores. Packages including coupons are left in vacation rentals for travelers to sift through and use at their leisure. Almost all homeowners have reduced their rental fees to make it more affordable for vacationers.

Vacation homes are usually equipped with all of the essentials from sheets and linens to soap, toilet paper and laundry detergent. It is progressively becoming easier for families to pack for vacation when all they need to bring are their clothes and tooth brushes for everyone.
