A recent and popular trend with business travelers as well as families on the go is to stay in a vacation rental home instead of a hotel. If you haven’t explored renting a home in place of reserving a hotel room, keep reading…
Four Advantages to Vacation Rental Homes
1. Space and Well-being
It’s about space (lots more) and convenience:
- You can spread out and make yourself at home.
- There is more privacy for sleeping, working and all other activities.
- Everyone isn’t sharing one bathroom or one bedroom or one TV.
- You can have fresh brewed coffee (in a Keurig no less) at any time and in your pajamas (one of my favorite reasons).
- There are multiple televisions to match your viewing preferences.
- Some homes have garages to protect your vehicles, golf clubs, bikes and other gear.
- Homes are self-contained meaning everything you need except food, paper products and personal items are provided.
- Spaces are safer if you want to quarantine.
- Homes give you the space you need for a staycation.
2. Cost Effective
Hotels cost more than rental homes:
- Multiple families, couples or corporate executives can save by sharing a home.
- You can eat healthier and save money by preparing meals in the home.
- Parking is free.
- You can avoid baggage fees by packing less because your laundry can be done in the home.
- There are no hidden costs for the internet, pool towels, laundry, parking or more than one bed.
3. Comfort and Flexibility
Vacation rentals offer more flexibility and benefits:
- Homes are usually cleaner, safer and in quieter neighborhoods than hotels.
- Versatile booking options include length of stay as well as early arrivals and late departures.
- You can choose from a variety of amenities such as private pools, spas, putting greens, fire pits and games
- You’re not expected to share the amenities or elevators, lobbies, etc. with strangers.
- You can mix with the locals and discover the community’s hidden jewels such as the best restaurants, bars, museums and hiking trails.
- Homes offer a variety of floor plans and may be well suited for business meetings or team building conferences.
- You can work and play at the same location if you choose a home with a ping-pong or pool table, bikes, kayaks, nearby trails or a swimming pool.
4. Safety
Vacation homes are safer:
- Vacation rental properties offer you a self contained home so you can avoid crowds and public spaces.
- Check-in and check-out are contact-less.
- Meals can be prepared and served at the home.
- All of our homes have laundry rooms with washers and dryers so you can avoid public laundromats.
- Remote work, school and play can all be conducted at one place.
- Rental homes have amenities such as pools, hot tubs and putting greens that are not shared with strangers.
