VACATION RENTALS: THE AFFORDABLE CHOICE FOR GOLF GETAWAYS
Miami, FL, May 5, 2009—With soothing sunny weather and flowers around the greens, May and June may be the best time for a golf vacation. However, the idea of staying in an expensive golf resort—and paying hundreds of dollars in green fees—may be off-putting to even the most fanatical golfers. Rentalo.com, the leading online vacation rental directory, comes to the rescue with apartments, condos and cottages that provide more space (and kitchens) at a lower price than those golf resorts. They also provide non-golfing pleasures like swimming, boating, tennis, water sports, theater and outlet shopping to keep the rest of the family happy. Go to www.rentalo.com to see the offers on the Rentalo web site.
