Rental Escapes Debuts the Accessible Villas
References: travelagewest
Rental Escapes has launched a new Accessible Villas collection. This venture presents a curated selection of luxury rental properties around the world that are specifically designed to accommodate travelers with limited mobility.
Rental Escapes identifies villas that incorporate physical features that enable ease of movement — from step-free entrances, wide doorways, and ground-floor bathrooms to ramps, elevators, and roll-in showers. With the Accessible Villas collection, guests even have the option to request dedicated on-site support staff. Luxury amenities like heated pools and private beach access are available on-site.
Rental Escapes' Accessible Villas collection spans a variety of sought-after destinations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and the United States, including specific properties like the beachfront Ana Flamands in St. Barts, the staffed Villa des Parcs near Saint-Tropez, and the mountain-setting Cazador Lodge in Colorado.
