[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my children to Spain last summer for 2 weeks and the whole trip cost less than a Bethany rental, flight included.[/quote]

This is not believable.

Well, I guess if you rent a massive house in Bethany and a tiny place in the middle of nowhere in Spain. And I agree that Spain is cheaper overall, but flights would basically make the costs break even.

There’s no need to exaggerate to prove your point. It just makes you look ridiculous. [/quote]

That probably isn't far off.

I just looked and the average weekly rental for a 3 bedroom Bethany house is 4300 per week.  Flights to Spain next summer are about $750.  Food is far cheaper as are accommodations (2 bedroom in central Madrid during the summer is 1500-2500 for 2 weeks).  I bet it would be cheaper to go to Spain for 2 weeks.[/quote]

Just do the math for your family and find out, it's pretty simple math.  The problem with your example is are you going to want to stay in Madrid for two weeks in the middle of the summer?  The beach resorts tend to cost more (although you can find cheaper Airbnbs).  And don't forget transit/rental car costs.

Even beaches in Spain are cheaper during the high season. You could also do a week in Madrid or Barcelona and then a week in Portugal (cheaper hotels, great coastline) and the expense of travel between the cities would still keep the trip cheaper than the Bethany house. The Bethany house is just overpriced, period. People pay the premium because they don't want to travel, and Bethany is half a days drive. But for what you are actually getting, the Bethany house is insanely overpriced and you would get so much more bang for your buck in Spain.[/quote]

Bethany Beach is overpriced period, but there are plenty of cheaper beaches or lake destinations in the US.  If you want to go to Spain, go to Spain, but you can have a cheaper vacation here if you broaden your horizons a bit.[/quote]
