A vacation rental is a type of lodging in which a property, such as an apartment, house, or condo, is rented out to travelers for a short period of time. This can be a cost-effective and convenient alternative to staying in a hotel, and it often provides guests with more space and amenities than a traditional hotel room. Vacation rentals are typically available in popular vacation destinations, and they can be booked through online platforms or directly with the property owner.

The most popular vacation rental companies are VRBO and Airbnb.
