Assume the Life of a Local in a San Francisco Vacation Rental




By Caitlin Moore

Perhaps you live in a small town and you've always felt that something was missing; you'd like to know what it's like to enjoy a vibrant urban atmosphere if only for a little while. Or, you live in the suburbs of a large metropolis but hate all the driving that you have to do, not to mention the weather. Satisfy your yearnings by holing up in one of America's most colorful cities, ensuring an authentic experience by choosing to stay in a unique vacation rental rather than a hotel.

Not that there's anything wrong with hotels, but sometimes it's fun to try something different. Vacation rentals are definitely a change from the usual thing, considering that they come in all shapes and sizes and provide access to all different corners of the city. Depending on your personal taste and budget, you could end up in any number of charming, one-of-a-kind places that will add to your holiday in all kinds of ways.

For example, if a high rise apartment in the heart of one of San Francisco's funky neighborhoods, perhaps within walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square or Lombard Street, sounds like your kind of set-up, this is perfectly possible. Choose a modern, stylish two-bedroom space in the heart of the city that not only looks out across the skyline and the bay, but connects you to a whole world of vacation opportunities. As you ride the elevator to your privileged perch high above the milieu, you might even allow yourself to pretend that this is your life; you are a San Franciscan.

This will be especially easy thanks to the little things your rental will provide. Shop for groceries at the corner market and fill your pantry, this will let you save money and feel super cozy at the same time as you and your companions fix a home-cooked meal after a day of sightseeing. Your comfortable bed, the big closets, plenty of towels and sheets, an entertainment center, wireless internet and all the other details will come together to create an experience you may not have been expecting. Within a couple of days, you feel totally at home.

If you'd prefer a larger spot, perhaps for the whole family, consider a house that sits near Golden Gate Park. A real yard, a driveway, and plenty of room for everyone to eat, sleep, and coexist peacefully will catapult this trip into the stratosphere. No more fighting over the remote control or arguing about sleeper sofas; this home away from home will create a sense of utter harmony and provide the perfect foundation for all city explorations. There are all sorts of restaurants nearby, including Thai, Indian, vegan and raw, but if the BBQ grill out back is calling out to the chef of the house, feel free to stay in for an evening of your own culinary design. Vacation rentals are all about choices, as you will soon see.

We all know that San Francisco isn't the cheapest place to live or visit, but there are ways to find good deals. Start researching early in order to snag a bargain vacation rental or a special offer, and ask around as far as activities go. Walking through the park, stumbling upon a hole in wall eatery in Chinatown and window shopping are all easy on the pocketbook, so be creative and you're sure to emerge from this trip with money still in the bank.

On that note, it's best to start now. Go online to seek out the San Francisco Vacation Rental that will best complement your upcoming trip and prepare to try a new lifestyle on for size, if only temporarily.
