Vail rentals come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and as can be expected at a high-end ski resort, many have a luxurious air about them. The most impressive rental properties are the executive homes found in both Vail and Beaver Creek. These homes can offer 10,000 square feet of space or more and are very well outfitted with amenities. You can certainly enjoy a certain amount of extravagance when staying at some of the Vail rental properties.

Only some twelve miles separates Vail from its sister resort of Beaver Creek, and should you be visiting one of these resorts during the winter, your lift ticket will be good at both, not to mention the other Colorado sister resorts of Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Breckenridge. These other three resorts are each about a 45-minute drive from Vail. When staying in the Vail Valley is the aim, then both Vail and Beaver Creek can make for excellent bases. Between the two resorts, there are rental properties to fit a range of preferences, and you might be happy to know that a considerable range of budgets are covered as well.

Vail condos offer many of the amenities that you will find in a home rental, and you might be surprised how big some can be. In general, the condos found in both Vail and Beaver Creek offer anywhere from one to five bedrooms, and there are living and dining areas as well. Full kitchens are among the standard amenity highlights, and should your budget allow, you can keep an eye out for units that feature things such as a fireplace and private laundry facilities. Ski-in, ski-out condos are available if you wish to enjoy such convenience, and many of the condo complexes boast some enticing facilities that can be taken advantage of on the side. The Charter at Beaver Creek, for example, features two restaurants, a health club, and a full-service spa. Guests who book one of the condo-style suites at The Arrabelle at Vail Square can enjoy similar facilities.

Should a spacious home be what you have in mind when it comes to the Vail vacation rentals, then you have some amazing options to consider. Some of the Vail rental homes rival upscale lodges in many ways, especially when it comes to the interior decor, and most are found right on the mountain. There isn't exactly room for these mansions down in the village. Once again, both Vail and Beaver Creek boast their fair share of home rental properties, and as long as your budget allows, they are arguably the best accommodations around. You'll certainly enjoy plenty of space when you book a Vail home rental, and since a good amount of distance separates most, added privacy can also be a key component.

A number of condos are located in and around Vail, and they can be ideal for those who are trying to keep their lodging costs down. In Vail proper, the Apollo Park Lodge offers some of the most affordable condos that you will find at the base of the mountain. Both one- and two-bedroom condos are available at Apollo Park, and while they might not be luxurious, they offer everything that some visitors will need. Amenity highlights include a small kitchen and cable TV. Some units have gas fireplaces.

Vail rentals are available throughout the year, though demand is highest during the winter season. As such, the winter rental rates are the highest. When spring approaches, the rates start to go down, and they don't exactly jump back up in the summer, which is very good news for warm weather visitors.
