Holiday rentals: score cheap lodging during peak periods
Renting a house or apartment while on vacation can offer great value during peak periods, even in destinations that are in high demand during the spring, such as the Caribbean and Mexico. Airbnb.com allows travelers to book an entire house or just a single room; we found a beachfront condo in Cancún for $95 per night. Resortgems.com and other sites let time-share owners set their own price, so rental properties in places such as Aruba and the Bahamas can be found for around 40 percent less than standard management listings.
