Home Away From Home:
Sometimes a place to lay your head is just a place, and sometimes that is all you need. But why not find something interesting, charming, out-of-the-ordinary, or fitting the occasion of a particular holiday? If a vacation rental property is listed on this site, you can be assured that we love it, and have found something wonderful about it to share with you, our fellow travelers.
Not finding what you are looking for? Let us know. We have many more properties waiting in the wings for our booking portfolio, but we’ve not yet seen them in person so they are not up on the site (that or they are in the backlog to be added by our wonderful but rather snail-paced webmaster). It is important to us that we have been able to visit the homes, apartments and rentals we recommend to clients, that we know first hand what we are offering to travelers, and that we can recommend each without reserve.
