Need a place to stay?

September 22, 2007 | By valmg |

I stopped by the beach last night for the annual POW-MIA watchfire that my father runs. My whole family was there, except for my brother that’s in the Navy. As I looked out onto the ocean, I was reminded that both of my two favorite vacations ever involved family being together. Both times my family stayed in Walt Disney and was divided in two separate timeshares. This morning I got to wondering what happen if all of us stayed in one place, and how we could do it. We’d need a big house, bigger than the biggest timeshare, to make it work. Being a curious person, I started looking around the web. Now you may or may not have noticed there are lots of vacation home websites out there, especially ones that offer Florida Vacation Rentals . Some of them seem designed to be confusing and to get you to overspend. So I was surprised when I found one this morning that was both easy to understand and user friendly. Want to know what I found? I found out we could rent a really nice house with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a pool for less than it cost us for one of the timeshares. I’m going to suggest renting a house for everyone for our next vacation now that I know it isn’t crazy expensive.
