The decline in home values has made renting a vacation home an attractive summer vacation option. Sales of new homes have fallen so much that most are underwater and are now rentals.

Prices also go way up and down by geography.

A Beach Vacation or a Golf vacation?

With temperatures at times in the 90s, only the most stalwart golfers will typically hit the links during mid day. That’s why the beaches and gin clear waters are championship sunning and swimming areas.

Florida has wonderful beaches on its east coast, west coast and of course, the Panhandle. The Florida Keys have surprisingly few real beaches, being most notable for the diving and fishing.Low price when comparing to other areas.

Each of the areas has different qualities:

West Coast (Tampa and points south) – Calm tranquil waters and sandy beaches.Can be a little pricey.

South Florida Beaches – Tropical blue green waters and an unrelenting sun.Low cost good price.

Panhandle Beaches – White sand, blue waters and a relaxing ambiance.Very low cost in comparison.

The Keys – Five different types of fishing and the best diving in the country.Can be mid priced to high priced.

Vacation Condos or Vacation Homes the price is the same:

One of the best things about vacationing is that anyone planning a vacation can find excellent accommodations over the internet. There are numerous internet sites offering private vacation rentals and depending upon one’s preference, there are choices at either end of the vacation spectrum. Typically, most fine hotels can be booked through the hotel’s site. However, booking a vacation condo or private home can be accomplished over the internet as well, where a prospective vacationer can deal directly with the owner.

The primary advantage of staying at someone’s vacation home or condo is that a vacationer can often get much more space and bring many more people. The cost per person is generally much lower. For instance, in various locations in Florida, it’s possible to rent a six- or seven-bedroom home that can accommodate up to 15 people. All of the homes and condominiums have complete and modern cooking facilities. Also, many of the homes have multiple bathroom facilities and other amenities such as swimming pools and steam rooms.
