SUMMER VACATION RENTALS
When planning our summer vacation we typically think of a hotel or perhaps a resort. However if taking your four-legged friend along is a part of your plan, then consider a vacation rental.
Vacation rentals generally come equipped like a home with one or more bedrooms, sheets, towels, an equipped kitchen and some degree of privacy. Depending on the length of your stay, your vacation rental may not include maid services.
There are basically three types:
1 Places where a group of cottages or cabins are grouped around some recreational facility generally either a lake or a river. You will find lots to do at these places including hiking, boating, tubing, swimming, tennis and horse back riding.
2. Mountain cabins are generally all by themselves, but still allow for a perfect family vacation, as there will be recreational activities nearby.
3. Private Homes are available that vary from a small home, either in a city or in the countryside, to truly palatial beach front homes that may come with servants and more.
Summer vacation rentals listed in the Pet Travel all have one thing in common; they all will welcome your pet. Although be sure to tell them about your pet when booking as some places change their policy and do not tell us. Many will require a cleaning fee of $25.00 to $100.00. Most will require a deposit against any damage your pet may do. If your pet is well behaved, you should get your deposit back.
A vacation rental also provides a nice environment for your pet to enjoy their summer vacation along with you. Places to run maybe even without a leash, and lots of places in which they can accompany you rather than being left by themselves. There are local pet ordinances you will have to obey especially when going to the beach or into a public park.
Many airlines have a summer time embargo on putting your pet in the cargo hold due to the extreme heat at some airports. So, unless your pet is going in the cabin with you, it is probably a vacation by car. If you are considering traveling by air check AIRPORT CONTACT INFORMATION and give the airline a call.
