Summer Vacation Rentals Still Available, According To Vacation Site GreatFamilyRentals.com

You never got around to planning the family’s summer vacation, and you figure that everything is booked by now? Think again. That’s the word from GreatFamilyRentals.com, a directory of family-oriented vacation rentals by owner, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. While many properties have been booked for months, a great selection still exists even in mid-July.

“We’re still seeing some great availability, even in popular summer destinations”, said GreatFamilyRentals.com’s founder and CEO David Goldschmidt. “Fuel prices were perhaps a factor last winter when many made their summer vacation plans. But more importantly, there is more inventory of vacation rentals as more homeowners realize the benefits of owning vacation property and interest rates remain attractive.”

A review of GreatFamilyRentals.com reveals properties with July and August availability in many locations, including popular Florida, California, North Carolina and many other states. An August vacation in Mexico is even possible. “Some flexibility in location and timing is the key to scoring a great vacation rental at this point in the summer”, recommends Goldschmidt.

The only vacation rental site dedicated to the needs of family vacationers, GreatFamilyRentals.com is designed to be a one-stop resource for family travel, the fastest growing leisure travel segment. Complete information is included for properties, including detailed descriptions, color pictures, features, area activities, availability information and rental rates. In addition to rental properties around the globe, the site also contains helpful articles, reviews and other information valuable to family vacationers. Visitors can join the free Renter’s Area to save viewed properties and receive custom alert messages when owners offer specials that meet their needs. Vacation lodging decisions become easy and quick.

“We’d love to dispel the myth about booking early or not booking at all”, said Goldschmidt. “While we do recommend that vacationers plan early for their favorite summer hot spot, it doesn’t mean you’re completely out of luck if you didn’t.”

Vacation rental property owners may be interested in GreatFamilyRentals.com’s current promotion, in which they are offering completely free one-year listings, to help owners market their property on the Internet.
