To rent a spot in Jamaica, check out the Silver Sands Villas (876-954-2001; www.silver-sands.com). A two-bedroom cottage starts at $1,800 for the week during high season (including the cook and housekeeper).
Families that thrive on nonstop activity, and grandparents traveling with younger kids who crave action, should look for recreation packages. Amelia Island Plantation (888-261-6161; www.aipfl.com), a 1,350-acre resort just off Florida's northeast coast, has an all-inclusive deal that entitles you to tennis, golf, bicycling, fishing, fitness-club access, and nature tours of the island. Properties that sleep up to eight range from $616 to $1,185 (for deluxe quarters with ocean views) per night.
Other resources abound. Try the Vacation Rental Managers Association for cabins, condos, and casitas near and far; search by activity (golf, skiing, etc.) at www.resortquest.com; or send a query on a specific destination to www.rentalo.com.
