Curaçao's list of accommodation options includes rental properties. This gorgeous tropical getaway spot has a few rental villas as well as apartments, which are widely available around the island. Many rental agencies have Web sites where you can catch a glimpse of the property before choosing to stay there.

Many apartments include extra amenities such as regular maid service, Internet service, and fully-equipped kitchens. Some are beachfront, while others are at the heart of the city. Whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it in Curaçao.

Travelers can also work with the Curaçao Apartments and Small Hotels Association (CASHA) to find just the right apartment for their stay. CASHA is affiliated with many properties on Curaçao, and interested vacationers can learn more about the available properties at CAHSA's Web Site, ApartmentsCuracao.com (http://www.apartmentscuracao.com). CASHA isn't the only way to find apartments in Curaçao. In fact, apartments around the island are also searchable on Curacao.com (http://www.curacao.com), the official Web site of the Curaçao Tourist Board. If you're interested in renting a villa, you may want to take a look at the Curaçao Villas website (http://www.curacao-villas.com).

Some vacationers choose to rent an apartment or villa because it provides plenty of room for the whole family or a larger group. This is certainly a benefit to choosing an apartment, as they can be a cost-saver for many larger groups. Others choose to make their stay in an apartment because they enjoy the feeling of staying like a local. Travelers can feel like they're far away from other vacationers when they're staying in a real home-away-from home.

Travelers planning on lengthy stays can also help keep costs down by staying in either a rental apartment or villa. Whether because of room costs or the additional fees and taxes charged by hotels, travelers often choose to stay in an apartment for stays of two weeks or more.

Kitchens and other amenities mean travelers will have cooking autonomy and won't need to worry about when restaurants are open or spend a lot of money on buying everything from meals to snacks and drinks. This can be another way travelers can save during their stay in an apartment.

Like all other accommodations, there are low- and high-season rates for villas and apartments in Curaçao. However, regardless of the time of the year you rent an apartment, remember to include a 5 percent government tax on rental properties. Studios and small apartments begin at around $60(USD) per night for up to two people, and sometimes include children for free. In the high season, rates for larger apartments can surpass $120(USD) per night, but these are usually for up to four adults and two children.

Travelers are advised to book well in advance for travel during the most popular tourist times in the Caribbean – Christmas and New Year's. Rental properties are often booked almost a year in advance during this time of year.

No matter what type of rental you hope to find, or why you hope to rent on Curaçao, you're sure to find incredible accommodations that suit your budget and your style.
