In our quest to bring you some of the best travel sites, we visit a lot of websites offering vacation rentals (http://www.goin2travel.com/), but rarely have we enjoyed visiting a rental booking site as much as we have enjoyed this one. It would take months to fully review everything that is offered, because there are so many destinations offered, and each one we checked had a long listing of rentals. These are not your typical variety of hotels, either, but for the most part are apartments, homes, and even outright mansions available in virtually any place you might choose to visit.

Our usual method of review is to seek outstanding value-for-cost rentals, and give you the details on those particular properties within our post so that you will have a baseline to compare properties you may be considering. http://bp1.blogger.com/_Q8crdu0ntvg/Rz6dbsb_III/AAAAAAAAASk/aQWDiu4-Deo/s200/casamaravillasunsetdining.jpgHowever, we immediately were so impressed at our visit to the page featuring Costa Rica vacation rentals (http://www.goin2travel.com/costa-rica-vacation-rentals.htm) that we decided to throw caution to the wind and enjoy looking for the most fabulous accommodations we could find. And find them we did ... the Casa Maravilla (http://www.goin2travel.com/maravilla.htm) in Costa Rica is an incredible combination of sumptuousness and natural beauty, a true tropical paradise. The main house opens almost directly onto a large sparkling waterfall infinity pool. At sunset, the brilliant hues reflect off the ocean behind the pool, making poolside diners feel as if they are enjoying an elegant dinner on the beach. An open-style master bedroom overlooks the ocean, making you feel as if you are waking up on the beach (in air-conditioned comfort, of course!). http://bp1.blogger.com/_Q8crdu0ntvg/Rz6d_sb_IJI/AAAAAAAAASs/qwf14n_y5gM/s200/casamaravillawaterfallpool.jpgThe interior design is stunning, while outdoors lush tropical foliage soothes the senses. Lighted nightime paths throughout the property offer entrancing nocturnal adventures. A large open rancho for entertaining features dining tables, seating, a bar, and more. Not only is there a large main house, but also a more private, secluded guest house with full amenities that sleeps up to five. Overall this property is absolutely spectacular, and it is no wonder that celebrities and top executives have chosen this estate as their home away from home in Costa Rica.

We decided to view properties available in a very different destination as well, so next went to Paris vacation rentals (http://www.goin2travel.com/paris.htm), where we found quite spacious accommodations even in this chic city. It was difficult to select a favorite among the many choices, but we finally chose a St-Louis mansion (http://www.goin2travel.com/saintlouismansion.htm) for its unique flavor. http://bp0.blogger.com/_Q8crdu0ntvg/Rz6cscb_IHI/AAAAAAAAASc/-AR2JMC5Pv0/s200/stlouismansion.jpgWe were enchanted with the juxtaposition of exposed beam ceilings and a crystal chandelier in one of the living areas, which is furnished in a charming French style and features a fireplace. We loved the leaded glass, the hanging copper pans, the marble countertops, and the stylish fixtures of the well-appointed kitchen. The bathrooms were lovely, with more marble and lots of mirrors, and one of the bedrooms echoed the exposed beam/crystal chandelier combination as well as the leaded glass from the kitchen. Our favorite feature were the arched stone ceilings shown in one of the bedrooms and another living area. It had an enchanting cave-transformed-to-castle feel to us, and was a unique and unexpected feature.

I have to say that this rental site is one of the most enjoyable, as well as informative, that we have had the pleasure of visiting in some time. Full descriptions of the amenities of each property are listed, as well as useful information concerning nearby attractions, restaurants, and other places of potential interest to guests. Rate schedules by season are provided. Some properties have links listed at the bottom of the page with extensive personal reviews by previous travelers of the particular property, as well. This vacation rental site is definitely worth a visit if you are planning your vacation or business travels.
