You love to vacation every year, but like most people, you want to get the best bang for your buck, don’t you? Well, you have little control over travel costs, other than checking the available deals. Also, you may often have predetermined food costs when you’re on the road that end up considerably higher than originally expected. Unless you do extensive research and stick to a strict prearranged entertainment itinerary, you may not be able to come up with an exact budget. Acquiring a high-priced hotel room with few amenities is not a good solution. Additionally, purchasing an even more expensive timeshare unit, while possibly a large investment, also has major limitations.
So why rent a condo on my next vacation?
A timeshare investment also comes with an annual maintenance fee that might be better put toward a weekly rental. Plus, leasing gives you the flexibility to choose properties from around the world for much less than what you’d be charged for a full-price hotel room. In addition, there are many other personal and financial benefits to renting a condo, even compared to renting an available timeshare, including:
- Don’t sit through a required sales pitch – spend more time relaxing and having fun
- No tour of the property also cuts down on fun time
- No need for maintenance fees
- No membership fees
- No ownership commitments or worries
- Luxury accommodation rates lower than high-end hotel rooms
- Thousands of destinations around the world to choose from
- No power outages during holidays or high traffic season
- No long-term commitments
home away from home
What you DO get with any condo rental around the world is an extremely high degree of comfort and convenience that can be reflected throughout your vacation. Confined hotel rooms are very impersonal and renting a luxury suite to accommodate the whole family is often prohibitively expensive. Although a timeshare unit can offer the same kind of homey atmosphere, freebies never make this selection as enticing as renting a condo. Plus, your home away from home will be fully equipped with everything you need, including bedding, a fully equipped kitchen, and in many cases, home entertainment features, game rooms, hot tubs, saunas, and even swimming pools. Keep in mind that the average hotel room is about 240 square feet and has an average nightly rate of $119. A condo runs in the 1100 square foot range. Also, if you get your rental through a special discount program, this could translate to an easy investment of $40 per night.
Rent a house
No matter where you want to vacation around the world, you can find a one-, two-meter, and three or more bedroom unit to suit your personal, individual, or family vacation lodging needs. Plus, if you take advantage of available condo rental membership card programs, you can get instant discounts of 25 percent and receive member-only notifications about special offers for extra savings. How about reserving that oceanside condo in Mexico that normally rents for $950 and is now renting for an incredible $450?
Why pay $20,000 to $30,000 to own a timeshare plus maintenance fees of $500 to $800 per year, when you can enjoy a luxury condo rental worldwide, anytime, anywhere for less than the cost of a hotel room?
