Aruba Vacation Rentals & Beach Villas

ARUBA — While most honeymooners choose an all-inclusive resort for their romantic getaway, there is an alternative that offers more privacy, more space and more amenities for a lower price.

Vacation rentals are available for short-term use and are located in some of the most beautiful places in the world.

“After spending so much on a wedding, the last thing a new couple wants to do is pay an arm and a leg for their vacation,” said Matthew Smillie, owner of Aruba Villa Vacation Homes, which specializes in beach rentals.

An Aruba vacation rental offered by a professional property management company can give newlyweds a comfortable, homelike environment for much less than a hotel. Most rentals are located on the beach or within walking distance to the beach. They come equipped with a full kitchen, private pools and/or hot tubs, spacious rooms and most importantly privacy.

A property management company can offer newlyweds Aruba accommodation services that include a fully stocked kitchen, recommendations and/or bookings for excursions, massages and restaurants.

Smillie has put together a list of factors to take into account when looking for a vacation rental:

• Budget
  Once you determine your honeymoon budget, stick to it, said Smillie. Plan for everything including travel expenses, meals, shopping, excursions and unforeseen expenses. Find a property that fits in your budget and meets your needs.

  “If it’s just the two of you, staying in a home that sleeps five or more is not necessary,” said Smillie. “There are a lot of properties that have couples in mind, so aim for those, as they are generally more affordable, yet more spacious than a hotel room.”

• Location
  When booking your honeymoon location it is important that you pick a rental near destinations you want to visit, or if you want privacy, reserve a place that is away from the crowds and businesses. If you decide to stay away from the attractions, you may want to look into booking a rental car.
• Select a date
  Embarking on your honeymoon on a holiday or during a time when tourists are abundant can cause the prices of vacation rentals to inflate. Try and book your rental during an off-peak season, as some properties are more affordable throughout these times. Traveling out of season is also ideal for Aruba honeymooners, as the beaches and tourist attractions are less crowded.
• Amenities
  Unlike a hotel, vacation rentals give occupants options. You can cook your own meals, use a private pool or easily access the beach. Wi-Fi, cable and utilities are all included. To get a feel for the property you are interested in, most companies will provide you with a picture of the property, as well as past customer reviews.
