Vacation rentals
By Kate Schwartz

Think you can’t afford a villa in Italy or condo on the slopes of Vail? Think again. With CheapTickets’ new vacation rental tool, you can have the luxury vacation of your dreams for the price of a cheap vacation.

Cheap vacation rentals allow you to find villas, condos, cabins or houses for much less than you would imagine. Plus, private accommodations boast increased privacy, space and amenities that can help you save money. Pair one of these cheap vacation rentals with the following tips to make your next cheap vacation the best one yet!

Tip #1: Eat in. Find a cheap vacation rental with a full kitchen and save money on the cost of eating out.  For less than $100 per night you can rent a farmhouse in Tuscany with a private pool, full kitchen, high-speed internet, fireplace and much more. Find a food market nearby and explore the area while you save money buying local produce to prepare in your enormous, farm-style kitchen. Natural light, modern appliance and plenty of room will make every meal a treat.

Tip #2: Pack Light. Find a cheap vacation rental with a washer and dyer and save money buy packing fewer clothes and washing them to wear again. With airlines charging $15 and more per checked bag, the less you pack, the more you save. Spend your next cheap ski vacation at a Breckenridge townhouse and know that you will wake up every morning with clean, dry gear for the slopes. What’s better? While you’re waiting for the wash, relax in your very own hot tub that overlooks beautiful Summit County.
