June 27, 2008 - The annual AAA vacation survey has just been released in which the figures for average cost of a vacation to hundreds of popular beach and urban destinations are revealed. The survey is conducted each spring as a way to help travelers decide where to spend their summer vacation. It also provides some suggestions for the type of holiday that is likely to give holiday seekers the most bang for their buck.
This year beach rentals from vacation housing sites likes www.rentalgem.com are looking good. The reason: Private housing is currently cheaper then hotels in many spots. Short term beach vacation rentals have always been an ideal accommodation both because of the convenience, space and privacy they afford. Having a kitchen where you go also can save you a bundle on food.
Spots like Honolulu and New York City predictably topped the chart for most expensive cities to visit. An adult couple can expect to spend an average of $673 and $606 a day on food and lodging in those cities respectively. The most economical spots were perhaps not your idea of a great beach vacation, but still at $194 a day Oklahoma City and Wichita Kansas are looking pretty good.
Rental Gem is adding new vacation spots each day to their directory to prepare for the high season. Overall, online is where the deals are for beach vacation rentals as home owners almost unanimously post their properties on the web.
