Why not rent a home instead?
I know I enjoy the privacy of having a home to enjoy while I am on vacation. My husband and I used to go to his sisters home that she rents out in Vermont. Of course we went for free, but we liked an unstructured vacation, and just getting away to another area was nice. The kids could play and make noise and no one cared, and they had room to spread out too. Now you don’t have to make phone calls all over the place all you have to do is go online and find the luxury vacation rentals available to you. This makes it so much easier to view and find what you really like rather then trying to make deals over the phone site unseen.
