Pre-Post Cruise Large Group Looking For Rental

[cruisegirl29]

Hi,

 

I've been all over the web searching for a large vacation rental for 1 night pre cruise & 1 night post cruise. I've been on vrbo.com, cyberrentals, greatrentals, etc. which has a few available but has anyone else ever booked a large vacation home for a group of 15-20? I currently have several hotel rooms booked but was wondering if I could find something that we all could stay in for the same or lower price.

 

Any suggestions would be great!

Honestly, I doubt large places would be available for just one night. Large homes are usually oriented more to the week/month rental.

 

However, if you do have 20 people, and assuming 2 to a room, then 10 rooms usually qualify for a group rate at most hotels...

Hi ancldaca,

 

Thanks for your response! I actually found one home on vrbo.com that can accomodate 20 people & may be able to do 1 night. I just emailed them to see what they have to offer.

 

Also, OT but I'm wondering if you would know the San Sebastion Festival 2010 dates? In 2008 we attended it & the dates were a week later than what they were for 2009. I booked flights thinking the festival would end on Jan 24th so we are staying until the 25th.

 

Thanks in advance!

I believe the dates are 1/17/10 thru 1/20/10.

 

You may want to verify with Instituto de Cultura Puertorriquena:

I think they are too. I thought that the last day of the festival was alway on a sunday??

 

The 17th will work for us too. We'll just have to get on board the ship by 9pm....

I was a bit tentative about the dates I posted earlier.

 

This web site has slightly different dates:

Scroll down to San Sebastian Street Festival.

 

To be on the safe side, I would E-mail inquiry to Instituto de Cultura.

The festival is the third weekend of January, from Thursday to Sunday.

So, in 2010, that means Jan 14-17.
