So you may be asking yourself, why would I want to rent a condo while on vacation? Although condos are a little more expensive than a normal hotel would be, you get more included with the full package, and when you really break the price down you are getting more bang for your buck.

PRIVACY - there is always someone there to see you when you leave or return and with whom.

CONVENIENCE - staying in a condominium not only gives you the same flexibility as you would have in your own home but also you are usually fairly close to the attractions.

Some of the things that may be included with your condominium is: Central Air/heat, Washer and Dryer in Unit, Kitchen is fully supplied; swimming pools & spa, Clubhouse with game room and fitness center, Cable television in bedroom and living room, DVD players, big screen TV's.

The idea of being able to have more than four people is as aspect that will go far. No more having to get two rooms for a family or group of six. Many places also provide some sort of Internet access whether it be wireless for your laptop or a provided computer system. Babysitting and/or maid service can be provided as well.

One of the other advantages that really our attention is that you have the comforts of being able to cook, do laundry and just relax. You can choose from one or more bedrooms, and can get extra beds if needed.

Most of the rental condos that we found will allow you to put six people in a one bedroom.

PRICE - if you are planning your vacation either as one family, or as a two family group then the cost per person of renting a condominium home is quite small; if you vacation on your own, or as a couple, then renting a condominium home may well work out to be more expensive.

Some people will try to weigh the cost of a stay in a condominium against a couple of weeks in a low budget motel. There is really no comparison, especially when you look at the advantages and cost over the long run, including being able to cook instead of eating out every meal. Some motels and hotels actually work out to be more expensive, especially if you choose to stay in a suite.

Taking everything into consideration staying in a condominium while on vacation may be the best choice you have ever made.
