			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve talked up vacation rentals quite a lot in the past. They’re an outstanding value, often providing more room and amenities for your travel dollars than a typical hotel. Rentals can be found in all corners of the globe, from ski destinations to world capitals, spring break beaches to secluded shores. They come in all shapes and sizes, from condo rentals to cozy cabins, sprawling chalets to city apartments.Fully equipped kitchens allow you to cook some or all of your meals, thus saving money over pricey restaurants. Larger spaces enable groups to travel together and split the lodging costs, offering more affordable per-night rates overall than hotels. The trade-offs? No room service, no daily maid service, and no concierge (for the most part). However, after pricing out rentals versus hotels, you may find the savings from rentals are worth making your own bed on vacation.Want to see just how much you can save with a vacation rental? Take a look at the following put-to-the-test experiments, where I compare rentals in five popular destinations to suite-style accommodations at local hotels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each trip is based on four adults traveling together in spring, splitting the cost four ways. The results (and some savings in particular) are eye-opening.</p>
<p><strong>Hilton Head, South Carolina</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I found a one-bedroom penthouse condo rental on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. For $123 per night, you get:</p>
<p>• One bedroom with a king bed</p>
<p>• Living room with a pull-out couch</p>
<p>• Two bathrooms, one with a jetted tub</p>
<p>• An outdoor pool, deck, and patio</p>
<p>• Fully equipped kitchen</p>
<p>• Washer and dryer</p>
<p>• TV with DVD and VCR</p>
<p>The total cost for a five-night stay comes to $615 before taxes. Split four ways, the condo rental works out to $154 per person (or $31 per person per day). That’s quite a bargain.</p>
<p>I then priced a deluxe hotel room with two queen beds at the Hilton Oceanfront Resort , also on Hilton Head Island. For $229 per night, you get:</p>
<p>• A private balcony</p>
<p>• A mini-kitchen with microwave and refrigerator</p>
<p>• High-speed Internet access</p>
<p>• Television</p>
<p>• Access to the resort’s pools, fitness center, private beach, and outdoor recreation facilities</p>
<p>The total price for the hotel room over five nights works out to $1,145, or $286 per person. Broken out per day, the per-person cost is approximately $57.</p>
<p>You decide: The hotel, in this case, costs $26 more per person, per day than the vacation rental, and comes with significantly fewer amenities. You’ll also have to account for having more restaurant meals, and paying for laundry. However, you will get daily cleaning service and access to the resort’s many facilities. Which would you choose? Let us know by leaving a comment below!</p>
<p><strong>Paris</strong></p>
<p>An apartment Rental in Paris’ Latin Quarter includes:</p>
<p>• Two bedrooms, each with a private bath</p>
<p>• Kitchenette</p>
<p>• High-speed Internet access</p>
<p>• Cable television</p>
<p>The property is a five-minute walk from Notre Dame and features antique furnishings. It’s available for ?1,050 per week (or $1,465). Divided between four people, the cost works out to $366 per person, or $52 per person per day.</p>
<p>Compare this apartment to the Adagio City Apart Hotel Paris Opera<br />
. The suite-style room features:</p>
<p>• One bedroom with two single beds</p>
<p>• Living room with a double sofabed</p>
<p>• Kitchen</p>
<p>• One bathroom</p>
<p>• High-speed Internet access</p>
<p>• Cable television</p>
<p>The hotel room costs $2,904 for a one-week stay, or $726 per person. The per-person per-day charge works out to $104.</p>
<p>As a traveler who likes to have some downtime after exploring, I love that the apartment has two bedrooms—convenient if one wants to take a nap or rest while others may still have energy to burn. The apartment’s two bathrooms also add extra convenience. Given that the apartment is about half the price of the hotel, I’d go with the rental in this case. Leave a comment and let us know which one appeals more to you.</p>
<p><strong>Orlando</strong></p>
<p>Rentals are ideal for family vacations, as you’ll have more space for the kids to relax, as well as extra amenities (such as a pool) to make downtime more entertaining. A resort Condo Orlando, one mile from Disney World, rents for $109 per night and includes:</p>
<p>• Three bedrooms</p>
<p>• Screened-in balcony</p>
