United States, Vacational Rental

Vacational_rental

*Vacation rental* is a term in the travel industry meaning *renting out* a *furnished* *apartment or house* on a temporary basis to *tourists* as an *alternative to a hotel*. A vacation rental is a fully furnished property, such as a *condominium*, townhome or single-family-style home, often referred to as villa rentals in Europe. The client/traveler arranges to rent the vacation rental property for a designated period of time, many rent on nightly basis similar to hotel rooms, although the more prevalent vacation rental industry practice is typically weekly rentals. A true vacation rental is not for sale to the guest; rather, the owner of the vacation rental merely allows the guest to rent the property for a predetermined length of time.
