How do you find a European Vacation Rental?

Finding a European Vacation Rental

The Internet is filled with European vacation rental options. You can rent directly from the property owner or through an agency specializing in vacation rentals. For example, a Google search of “Italy vacation rentals” is a good starting point. Follow the links to top-rated vacation rental agencies and advertising sponsors. Visit the Websites and study the available properties. Most rental agency Websites feature extensive property details, photographs and contact details. Create a file of holiday rentals that pique your interest. Make a list of questions and vacation rental must-haves. Contact the owner or rental agency for more information.

A reputable vacation rental agency saves time and frustration. Leading agencies require that vacation rentals meet agency standards and provide assurance that there will be someone to assist you with questions and problems. Some agencies handle vacation rentals and travel details; others link rental requests directly to the property owner for booking and travelers must handle their own travel details. Compare offers, rental restrictions and cancellation policies from several vacation rental agencies before making a final booking decision.

Of course, the ideal way to find a European vacation rental is a recommendation from an experienced traveler who has “been there - done that.” If you don't know who to ask, extend your research to travel Websites featuring personal travel reviews and forums where you can ask other travelers for vacation rental recommendations and all about the pleasures and pitfalls of your destination.
