One of my friends mentioned a great get-away website called HomeAway.com. The site was started by a millionaire retiree from Dell years ago when their stock was booming. Essentially, he's a "Dell-ionaire".
The entrepreneur started the vacation site to allow home owners to post their seasonal rentals. I really like the site and have been using it to find great deals in all areas of the U.S, but the site also has listings in Mexico, Europe and other countries.
I think it's a great idea to rent one of the getaways at the site because you save on hotel taxes and will have a more unique place to stay. Most homes have full kitchens and all of the amenities you'd want in a home-away-from-home. The rates are usually much better than if you chose to stay at a resort for the same period of time.
Check it out: Vacation Rentals, Vacation Home Rentals, Condo Rentals at HomeAway. Another great site is BedandBreakfast.com.
Another great site is traveletto.com.
