Traveling with family and friends under a budget? Are you tired of paying high hotel rates?
If you are reading this blog then the answer is probably YES. Who isn't tired of paying high hotel rates while traveling with family or friends? Most people don't know the advantages of booking a vacation rental or have never even heard of such thing.
What is a VACATION RENTAL?
A Vacation Rental is a fully furnished property, such as a condominium, townhome or single-family-style home, often referred to as villa rentals in Europe. The client/traveler arranges to rent the vacation rental property for a designated period of time, many rent on nightly basis similar to hotel rooms, although the more prevalent vacation rental industry practice is typically weekly rentals. A true vacation rental is not for sale to the guest; rather, the owner of the vacation rental merely allows the guest to rent the property for a predetermined length of time.
By now you are wondering so What are the PROS and CONS of a VACATION RENTAL?
Vacation Rentals are generally appealing for many reasons, some of the foremost being cost savings, more space, and no tips and resort fees that are associated with hotel rooms. Vacation Rentals have kitchens for cooking, living rooms for gathering together and offer the appeal of living in a real neighborhood and soaking up the rhythm of the locals. In the United States, hotels often enjoy the advantages of brand recognition, familiar reservation processes, and on-site staff for problem resolution. For a guest, booking a vacation rental may mean stepping out of that comfort zone in order to garner some of the advantages they offer. Perceived cons of vacation rentals can include having to communicate directly with the property owner, being unfamiliar with the property, lack of on-site staff, and concerns about quality or cleanliness. However, these are most often mitigated by dealing with Vacation Rental agencies that manage vacation properties for owners and they offer many of the same services hotels offer to their guests, e.g., front desk check-in, 24-hour maintenance, in-house housekeeping, concierge service.
The benefits generally outweigh the potential negatives, with many vacation rentals offering more space (multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, separate living areas), more amenities (fully equipped kitchens, private hot tubs), convenient locations (on the beach, city centers in real neighborhoods) and greater privacy than a hotel, including the fact that many vacation rentals give travelers the option of inhabiting real neighborhoods in their destination and living like the locals. As of 2006, vacation rental management has become a $10 billion industry and continues to become more popular. Vacation rentals can range from budget studio apartments to lavish, expensive private villas in the world's most desirable locations, some with pricetags of many thousands per night and all the amenities you would find in any luxury accommodation to cater to the guests.
