Obama Chooses Vacation Rentals Over Hotel Stay

Hawaii — The beachfront estate that will serve as the holiday-season headquarters for President-elect Barack Obama and his entourage should offer all the comforts of home—and then some.

Workers on Saturday were busily preparing the property for the future president, his family and a group of friends from Chicago in advance of Obama’s arrival in Hawaii during what was Saturday evening on the U.S. mainland.

Nestled along a white-sand beach rated among the best in the world and with a view of a lush mountain range, the home they are believed to be vacationing in has a stone privacy fence.

So what does the President of the ages know that many other travelers’ may not know? Obama, the Blackberry toting President elect and his family understand the advantages of renting a vacation home as opposed to staying a hotel.

Advantages of Vacation Rental Home
Most private vacation rental homes offer considerably more space than you will find in the typical hotel room often at a reduced cost. Now, families can vacation together and still have “room to breathe.

Private homes offer excellent flexibility. Unlike a typical hotel room, most private vacation rentals include kitchen facilities. You don’t have to eat out for every meal (but of course you can if you want too!).

Vacation rental homes often contain many personal & convenience items that will increase the comfort of the guest.

Many vacation homes are used frequently by their owners and as such, they are not like the typical “sterile” environment found in hotels and other “vacation establishments”. No one gives a property more attention than its owner!

Homeowners and rental agents are often able to provide you with tips and hints that only the locals know. This can make a huge difference in the enjoyment of your trip.

Many of the homes listed on Your Travel Buddy Vacation Rentals and other rental sites are offered DIRECTLY from the OWNERS - Rent direct from the owners and save.

Renting a private vacation home offers the affordability, exceptional value, and personal attention that you deserve.

“Having a President that understands the value of and uses the vacation rental industry will certainly be a boom for our industry” said Brent Vanderstelt, owner of Your Travel Buddy Vacation Rentals, (a free vacation rental directory) and Your Travel Buddy, (an online travel booking search engine).
