In the last year, the vacation rental industry has seen a significant rise. In an unpredictable economy, consumers are not necessarily spending less money, they’re spending smarter money. Travelers want their money to go further and in doing so are choosing to rent vacation homes and condos now more than ever before.
“Travelers are selecting vacation rentals for many reasons, from cost savings to the inherent values that allow families and friends to grow closer by enjoying quality time together underneath the same roof,” explains Alex Risser, President of the Vacation Rental Managers Association (VRMA) and its Discover Vacation Homes awareness initiative, the official public resource on vacation rental travel.
Not only are you getting more bang for your buck, you’re also experiencing a real family vacation without sharing it with strangers. You’ve also got your own private home, pool and backyard for the kids and more amenities than a hotel could provide. A trend is forming where vacation homes are the norm.

The ALL STAR Story of the Month for November is by the Hite Family from Virginia who stayed at Windsor Palms Resort.
“We stayed in an ALL STAR vacation home the week of Thanksgiving 2009. My wife, two daughters (ages 12 and 4), my parents and I planned a trip to Walt Disney World early this past summer and were thinking of booking a suite in the same hotel we stayed in two years ago on a visit to WDW.”
“But after some research by my wife, we discovered that ALL STAR Vacation Homes was a much better choice for our family. Not only was it less expensive, but it had a private, heated pool. The house also provided us with much more room and privacy.”
“All six of us agree that when we get the chance to return to Walt Disney World there is no better place for our family to stay than in an ALL STAR vacation home.”
