How to Navigate Booking a Vacation Rental vs. a Hotel

Before we get into the details of booking a vacation rental vs. a hotel, we must distinguish the two. Vacation rentals are different from hotels in a variety of ways. The most important difference is the size. A vacation rental home is just thatâ" a home. There are often several bedrooms, bathrooms, private outdoor space with decks/patios, washer and dryer, fully-equipped kitchens, and more. Hotel room reservations typically only consist of a single room with a private bathroom. In some suite-style hotel rooms, you might find a kitchenette and small living space.

Vacation Rentals are Perfect for Families or Groups

Vacation rentals are a popular type of accommodation for families or large groups. When you rent a home with several bedrooms, itâs easy to keep the family or group together. At a hotel, you would have to book separate hotel rooms. Vacation rental homes boast spacious floorplans that help keep the group together while also offering enough space to have privacy. Itâs the best of both worlds!

Vacation Rentals are Cost-Effective

Everyone likes to save their hard-earned money. Although vacations are known for being a financial splurge, why not save where you can? Booking a vacation rental is the perfect way to do just that! While hotel reservations are ideal for short-term stays, renting a vacation home is cost-effective for extended stays. The price of booking a vacation rental home depends on how large the rental home is, how many bedrooms it has, location, and more. Even the more expensive rental homes end up saving you money in the long run. How? One example is cooking your meals. Save on dining-out costs when you book a vacation rental!
