Handicap Equipped Vacation Rental Spots
Finding handicap accessible vacation rental properties is fairly easy these days. Finding handicap equipped vacation rentals takes a little more work. If you are new at traveling with handicap special needs, you may not know the difference.
Handicap accessible means there are no stairs to get to the room, or an elevator is available. There is enough door width to accommodate a wheelchair in your vacation rental. In larger facilities, there is wheelchair accessibility to the check in area and all common guest areas.
Handicap equipped vacation rentals will include hand bars in the bathroom and a roll in shower. The sink may be lower and the room may be slightly differently arranged to allow room for the wheelchair to be moved with ease. It is essential to make sure you know exactly what your requirements are prior to renting.
Here is an example. If you Google “handicap equipped vacation rentals,’ you will not find one till item 6 in the current top 10 organic searches. The search queries for the paid ads will not help at all. Your item 6 is from Gimp on the Go, and can it can help you find properly equipped handicap rentals. That is not to say that other sites won’t be able to help you, you just have to be prepared to dig a bit.
One disappointing note on the site: the link to the disabled newsletter “Emerging Horizons” is broken. We are giving you the link here. We are also providing you a link to a good newsletter here: http://www.independenttraveler.com/newsletter/ . The Independent traveler website is up and coming as a good online source for handicap equipped rentals, and overall disabled planned vacations.
Traveling can also present some issues to overcome. This is especially true of disabled individuals with implants. On a recent vacation, in which we took my father in law in his wheel chair, he had to be “waned” at each TSA check point. He has metal hip implants. TSA in DFW even made him stand for the event. Fortunately, he can. You can get a lot of the information on TSA regulations at the TSA Web site . Home Away.com also provides a good link to information from Candy Harrington, an accessible travel expert.
Handicap equipped rental spots can make all the difference for disabled travelers. As markets tighten, we may even see more rental home owners making these type of upgrades to their facilities, in order to draw from a great travel niche group. Do you research, and you will be able to find accessibility, comfort, and affordability.
