Cheap vacation: Save money with vacation rentals

Monday, January 5th, 2009

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.

To fully appreciate this modern city, take the tram up to Victoria Peak for a stunning view, (there’s a great walking path around the peak if you really want to take it all in). Or if you’d rather stay close to the ground, hop aboard the Star Ferry and cruise Victoria Harbor.

Santa Barbara, CA, is known as the American Riviera for its palm tree-lined streets, gracious waterfront and elegant shopping and restaurants. Plan a vacation in January and save up to 38% on Santa Barbara hotels. Wine lovers can make the easy 30- to 40-minute drive northeast to the vineyards and wineries featured in "Sideways."

If you’re idea of a great vacation includes fabulous food, theater and attractions, head to the Big Apple in January and save up to 37% on New York hotels. Go early in January to enjoy the holiday decorations without the holiday crowds.
