More Travelers Looking to Rent Homes

Hotels are soo last year. Everybody is renting vacation homes these days. According to a new report by HomeAway, Inc., 87 percent of those who looked into vacation rentals in the past, plan to stay in one again in 2010. A 20 percent increase in results from 2009.

What's so great about renting a home? Well, it can often be cheaper if you have a large party. And it's usually more private: Sometimes you can get a pool, kitchen, and living space all to yourself (like at this waterfront Antiqua rental).
