Our Top 10 Reasons to stay in a Vacation Rental

Are you looking for more bang for your buck when planning a vacation? Whether it is some
much-needed family time, a romantic getaway or a girl/guy trip, a vacation rental is always a
better option from a hotel. There are so many different kinds of vacation rentals to choose
from: house, condo, cabin, chalet or even tiny house! Below are a 10 reasons why staying at a
vacation rental is much better than a hotel.
1. More space to relax and get comfortable!
Did you know typical hotel rooms are only 325 sq ft
big? A vacation rental on the other hand can be as big
or small as you would like. You get to choose! Your
whole group gets to stay together! In a hotel, your
family and or friends will be spread out among many
rooms on different floors. In a vacation rental you
typically have the variety of sizes to choose from. You
can choose a large enough rental so that your whole
group gets to hang out together whether in a kitchen,
living room, deck or balcony. Always confirm
maximum occupancy with the owner.
2. Save money!
Most vacation rentals are a more economical choice over a hotel room.
3. You can likely find a vacation rental in any location you desire!
4. Vacation rentals are kid friendly!
Depending on the size of the Family you
may need to book two hotel rooms, while a
vacation rental you can get a two or three
bed unit which means very has some
privacy! Depending on the property you
choose, it may provide all those extra
amenities (free of charge) that you will be
hard pressed to find in a hotel room, such
as board games, bikes, kayaks and videos
and so much more.

5. Bring your pet!
Pets are family too. Many rental properties offer travelers the option of bringing their pet.
There will probably be an additional nominal charge but is like much cheaper than boarding.
Always inquire with the owner on their pet policies before booking your stay.
6. Privacy!
Enjoy the privacy and solitude of your own space! Depending on the type of vacation rental
you rent, it may include a private pool, a hot tub, private balcony/patio, etc.
7. Free Wi-Fi to stay connected!
Many homes are equipped with free Wi-Fi,
depending on their location. Hotels typically
charge for Wi-Fi (one of the many up-charges
hotels incorporate into a stay). And for those
folks wanting to totally unplug and get away from
it all, owners are offering to remove all the
modern technology (TV, Wi-Fi, etc.) Could you
imagine asking a hotel to do that!
8. Be in the know and get the local scoop!
Most often the owners of vacation rentals want their guests to have a true local experience.
Many owners are eager to share their insider tips on the areas best restaurants, activities and
must see places to visit, while hotels will likely provide tourist traps.
9. Access to free laundry facilities!
Not all vacation homes have washer and dryers, but
most do. If a washer/dryer is important to you, be
sure to confirm with the owner when booking your
vacation. Having easy access to on site laundry
facilities can save you money (no need for coins),
time and the convenience of packing less.
10. Cook at home!
Most rentals provide a well-equipped kitchen. This
is definitely the more economical choice (especially
when traveling with kids!). You choose how much
to eat in or out, while at a hotel, you have to always
eat out: breakfast, lunch and diner.
