Vacation Rentals Are the Smart Lodging Choice for Festivals and Events

Miami, FL, September 29, 2009-When traveling to a folk festival, holiday celebration or parade, most families don't think about a vacation rental for just a couple of days or a weekend. This is, however, a smart time to save money and gain extra space for the family by logging onto http://Rentalo.com, the leading online directory for vacation rentals all over the country. It couldn't be faster or easier. Now you can even place a "wanted ad," giving your specifications, and just wait for the offers to roll in. Whether you're heading east, west, north or south, Rentalo provides fast access to a wide choice of accommodations, many of them with minimum stays of only one or two nights. Some examples, here, of upcoming celebrations and nearby vacation rentals that are (almost) a steal.
