Maine vacation rentals come in all shapes and sizes. The variety of
Maine vacation homes that are available can make the search for a
Maine summer, fall or winter rental fun, especially if you're planning
with friends or family.

Since Maine has such a long history and it is known as Vacationland,
the vacation rental homes range from centuries-old colonial houses to
brand-new mountainside ski condos. You can rent small hunting cabins
deep in the northern woods or quaint Cape-Cod style cottages
overlooking the ocean.

Renting a vacation home allows for a more unique vacation than if you
stay in other types of lodging. Many vacation homes have been owned by
the same family for years and they have taken good care to provide for
their own comfort and yours. You can often get a sense of the
continuity of the home when you read the guestbook that has comments
left from previous renters, some of whom return to the same vacation
homes season after season.

The variety of Maine vacation homes allows you to find something to
fit your budget. If you are planning a getaway, but things are a
little tight, you can rent a cottage that's near the ocean rather than
on the ocean. Even though you can't see the waves crashing on the
rugged Maine coastline, you'll be able to feel the sea breezes and
smell the salty air.

Even if you are looking to rent something larger, a vacation home is
still a great value. Say you are planning a large family reunion. You
might consider Maine estates for vacation rentals. These can
accommodate multiple families under one roof (or sometimes more). It
will prove much more affordable to cook meals at the vacation home for
a large group than to eat at a restaurant everyday.

Many vacation homes are stocked with amenities to cover every event.
Maybe your hike was rained out and you're looking for some kind of
entertainment instead. Many vacation rentals keep board games, video
games, books, and TVs with cable or DVDs on hand. Having a washer and
dryer on the premises is an added benefit, especially if you packed
lightly or have adventurous members of the family who tend to get
muddy when they're hiking around or building sandcastles at the beach.

Maine's geography lends to the variety of the vacation home stock.
With ski mountains such as Sugarloaf and Sunday River, you will find
condos and chalets on and around the ski areas. Farther north where
things get more rural, you will find hunting lodges and lakeside
cabins that are perfectly suited to the weather and the outdoor
activities that can be enjoyed there. On the coast you can find
restored mansions in Bar Harbor or Kennebunkport, cottages on the
Penobscot Bay or on the South Coast, old sea captains' houses
Downeast, and brand-new, modern vacation homes everywhere in between.

It's now easier than ever to find a vacation rental that is just right
for you and your family or friends. Using a vacation rentals Web site
you can search by availability dates, specific amenities, whether pets
are allowed, what attractions are nearby and the type of house. Some
vacation rentals Web sites even provide free-form text searches so you
can try to find exactly what you're looking for as soon as you start.
