Vacation rentals are privately owned homes, cottages, cabins, condos, and villas available for rent.

There are many reasons vacation rentals are great options for travelers. Here are just a few reasons that you might consider a vacation rental for your next trip:

• Value - Vacation rentals are often less expensive than a hotel and have all of the amenities of a home. When you rent a hotel for a group, you have to rent 2-3 rooms minimum at a traditional hotel. With Zonder, you can rent an entire house that can accommodate six or more people for a lot less money than three separate hotel rooms.
• More Space – One of the biggest advantages with most vacation rentals is the additional space in a home versus a hotel room. Most rentals have indoor and outdoor living areas, multiple bedrooms and multiple bathrooms. Families and groups have plenty of space to spend time together, and also have privacy throughout the home as needed.
• Prepare your own meals - Most vacation rentals include a full kitchen, so you can prepare your own meals and keeps snacks available at all times, rather than eating every meal at a restaurant or depending on expensive room service. This is especially great for families, friends or couples traveling as a group.
• More Amenities - Vacation rentals are often stocked with all the basics you use in your daily life, including dishware, cookware, barware, bedding, towels, laundry facilities, indoor/outdoor furniture, BBQ grills, games and entertainment systems. Private hot tubs, pools and other amenities are often included as well.
• Location, Location, Location – Would you rather stay at a hotel on the beach or a true beach house? A cabin on the lake or a cramped hotel in town? Vacation rentals can be found nearly anywhere you want to go. Beachfront, lakeside, on a mountain or downtown- you choose what’s right for you. In addition to the property details, you can use Zonder’s mapping tools to see how close a rental is to nearby attractions and activities.

The vacation rentals available through Zonder vary greatly in property type, features and amenities, because they are all independently owned. Every property we list has unique features and amenities, which are described on the property’s profile page. Here are some general guidelines about the types of properties you will find on Zonder:

• Homes, cabins and villas are standalone units, which typically offer travelers more living space and often have their own private yard. These units may also have amenities such as pools or hot tubs for your use only.
• Condos and apartments often exist within multi-unit complexes, and can vary greatly in size depending on location and building type. These rental properties may feature some in-unit and shared amenities (pools, hot tubs, laundry).
• Cottages and cabins are often found in resort communities or in remote locations, and are typically standalone units, ranging in size and available amenities.

Most vacation rental listing sites do not offer online booking or a method to check available dates. Where calendars are shown, they often show incorrect availability and are impossible to rely on. Zonder provides real-time, secure online booking for more vacation rentals than any other service. In the past, travelers had to contact a property owner or manager directly to find out rates, available dates and discuss other details, such as rental contracts, security deposits and payment options.

This frustrating process is filled with anxiety and fear of sending money, a personal check or credit card information to an unknown person (some guy sipping a daiquiri in Costa Rica, for instance). With Zonder, you’re working with a trusted party, so your personal information is safe and secure. We manage the entire transaction, so you can relax and enjoy your vacation, leaving the details to us.

Because we work with thousands of properties, refund policies vary. You can view the refund policy for a specific property during the booking process.
