Summer is halfway over but there’s still a lot of time to travel with family and friends.  However, sometimes it can be difficult finding accessible rental properties for the family vacation. Becoming rentABLE was founded in 2021, after years of struggling to find accessible short-term rental properties. To have an accessible property means that there are no barriers to entry for anyone; an elderly relative, a family member with a physical disability or a friend who has been temporarily disabled. While wheelchair accessibility was the focus, they have expanded their efforts to include mobility, cognitive, hearing, vision and aging accessibility. Becoming rentABLE offers 36 filters, to help you customize your search based on your own needs and find the best property for you and your family.
