Often when traveling with a family or a group, renting a villa or condo is the most practical and least expensive option. Did you know that, in addition to booking hotels, tours and cruises, your travel professional can assist you in booking amazing villa and condo rentals around the world?

Many travel advisors have direct contacts in locations around the world who can assist in finding the exact property you desire. While online booking sites may show many listings, it is overwhelming to try to narrow down your selection. By having your travel advisor reach out to their myriad of contacts, you will have the benefit of very specific and trusted recommendations regarding the location, amenities and other aspects of your rental.

| Notting Hill, London 5 Bedroom Apartment starting at £990/night |
Recently, I called upon a wonderful resource in Paris on behalf of a client to find an apartment for rent during the week of the French Open. Availability was extremely scarce during this time, but my contact in Paris was able to come through with a gorgeous apartment in the heart of the left bank at a very desirable rate. A win-win for the client and me!

| Positano, Italy 6 Bedroom Villa from €1,837/night |
Another client wanted to travel to the Caribbean over spring break – nightly hotel rates were sky high and she would need two rooms for her family. Through another of my resources, I found a highly coveted three bedroom unit at the Ritz Carlton Club in St. Thomas at a rate less than one room at a luxury resort.

These days many people like to DIY their travel plans and there are certainly plenty of options for doing this when renting a vacation home. But, why spend your valuable time wading through pages and pages of online listings when your travel advisor can help you find the perfect rental?
(Please e-mail me for more information about the pictured vacation rentals and many more all over the world…I would LOVE to help you!)
WOW..that all white apartment in London looks just about my style! Happy Monday, Sandy! Anita
Sandy… these look great. My sista rented a gorgeous home in San Miguel with staff and loved it. It's a great way to see the world. Have a wonderful week!
I could not imagine renting a home without an agent.
All of these rentals look like perfect vacation spots. I totally agree, Sandy. A friend of mine is a travel adviser (also with a Virtuoso agency). She's been helping us with our plans for years and it makes such a difference! I wouldn't book without her now.
Happy Monday! XOXO
Wow I have always wondered what this would be like, I have to admit I really like the perks of being pampered in a top hotel which is probably whats kept me from exploring this option but geez those pictures have me rethinking things and i know just who I would go to!!!
I would love to stay at any of these amazing homes! Absolutely beautiful!!
XOXO,

We have had quite good luck with Vacation Rentals By Owner. Christmas 2012 we found the perfect condo in Kauai overlooking Hanalei Bay. We liked the spot so much that we are going back there as a family in July.
I am definitely going to check this out! We are taking our eight children to Hawaii next Christmas and the cost of three hotel rooms at a resort for a week is ridiculous! I would much rather be in a villa on the beach for around the same price. Thanks for sharing!

Sandy-so happy to hear that your business is taking off. Nothing more fun than helping others have the adventures of a life time. I have a group of 5 couples currently traveling under our membership in the Dominican Republic-I am so excited for them and hope everything is perfect!!
Bon voyage 😉
