No one deserves a little R&R more than our nation’s military. If you are looking to get away with your family or friends, a vacation rental can be a cost-effective choice – especially when many of them offer special discounts to the military! Renting a home, condo, cabin or apartment offers a lot of benefits including:
- More spacious than a hotel room
- A kitchen so you can save money by cooking instead of eating out all the time
- Most vacation rentals have a washer and dryer so you can pack less and have a place to dry all your beach towels
- More private and less crowded
- Cost-effective because you can share a larger rental with other families and split the cost
Whether you want to travel to the shore, the mountains, or a theme park, there are beautiful vacation rentals throughout the country that will give you the space and amenities you need to relax and spend quality time together with your loved ones. Here are just a few military vacation rentals you may want to check out the next time you want to feel some “home sweet home” on your getaway.
