Savvy travelers know this is the time of year to get terrific bargains on vacation rentals in Florida. And Rentalo, the leading travel lodging and vacation rental web site, gives information about and shows pictures and videos of such accommodations. It also links travelers directly with the property owners, who can even answer special requests by e-mail. What's more, on www.rentalo.com they can click the Special Offers box and find discounts up to 43% and two-bedroom apartments and condos for as little as $55 per night in popular beach resorts. For example:
New Smyrna Beach. A professionally-decorated two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhouse is set in a beautifully wooded condo resort on this barrier island off the East Coast of Florida. From now until December 14, with a minimum rental of seven nights, the townhouse costs only $71 a night -- a discount of 43 percent. It is within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants and three golf courses are in the general neighborhood. Two computers are available for guest use in the Clubhouse and the vacation rental itself has two patios, a heated swimming pool and a cabana.
Madeira Beach. A view of John's Pass and the Intracoastal drawbridge from its balcony makes this two-bedroom, two-bath Gulf Coast vacation rental especially appealing. Newly remodeled, it has the most up-to-date amenities, as well as large bedrooms that sleep six people in beds rather than pull-out sofas. With a 20 percent discount, this lodging goes for $100 a night, depending on a seven-night minimum, until December 15. A beach trolley runs right in front of the building and the beach boasts a heated pool as well as tiki huts. Golf and fishing are available nearby, as are shops, restaurants, a boardwalk and even a casino boat.
Boynton Beach. This two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in the Key West-styled Marina Village has wall-to-wall Berber carpeting throughout and is handicapped accessible. Most of the condos in this community have Intracoastal Waterway views and many have Atlantic Ocean views. There's free trolley service to the beach, which is only a short walk away. A nature walk; waterfront restaurants, shops and cafés; a heated pool and spa; covered parking; a fitness center; and a business center are among Marina Village's other attractions. From now until November 30, a 15 percent discount means a price of only $85 per night, with a minimum rental of 30 nights.
Bradenton. The Lakes is a lakefront vacation rental with two bedrooms and two baths in a two-story condominium building that's also handicapped accessible. Until November 30, the owners are offering this attractive condo at a 23 percent discount for only $55 a night, with a seven night minimum. The resort offers tennis courts, a heated pool, a clubhouse and covered parking. It's only five minutes to the beach and shops and restaurants are just around the corner. Theater, restaurants and the Ringling Museum in Sarasota; Busch Gardens and Ybor City's entertainment center in Tampa; and even Walt Disney World in Orlando are all within easy driving distance.
