5 Compelling Reasons Why Luxury Vacation Rentals Are Worth the Splurge

Are vacation rentals really becoming that popular? You bet. Now, we all have our routines when we travel: book a flight, book a hotel, rent a car, make a list of must-sees, etc. But have you ever slowed down to think of other options? You don’t always have to “book a hotel.” Consider booking a vacation rental home instead. Luxury vacation rentals are simply worth the splurge. There are just a few things that hotels simply cannot offer. Here are five reasons why you should book a vacation rental:   

  1. Vacation rental homes are quiet. 

How many times have you stayed in a hotel only to hear teenagers tromping around upstairs or a crying baby in an adjacent room? Or maybe you heard the wedding DJ blasting  “Macarena” from the attached conference center. 

In a vacation rental home, it is most often quiet. You’re able to control the noise level in your private space. 

2. Luxury rentals are updated and beautiful. 

There’s something glorious about staying in a home that’s not yours, isn’t there? In your own home, you’re constantly thinking of the to-do list: “I want new flooring,” “That fridge is on its last leg,” and “This room desperately needs a fresh coat of paint.” 

When you’re in one of our luxury vacation rental homes, those thoughts drift away. You’re instantly taken with the modern finishes, linens, and decor. You get to pretend this home is yours, even if it’s for a few short days. 

3. There’s room to spread out in a full rental home. 

In a hotel room, an entire family of 6 might be squished into one room. Two queen beds can hold two people each, and a roll-away cot can be requested if needed. 

Just because the hotel room can accommodate this many people doesn’t mean it’s comfortable. In a vacation rental home, most people get their own rooms. Someone can make a delicious meal in a gourmet kitchen, a couple of others can lounge in the living room to watch movies, and the younger ones can nap peacefully.  

4. Some vacation rentals have a backyard & patio for entertaining

In a hotel, there are rarely common areas for people to read and relax without distraction. There is a lobby where people are constantly coming and going. 

Most luxury vacation rentals, however, have a backyard and patio to grill delicious meals, play yard games, and enjoy a fire pit for s’mores. Even in the winter, many luxury vacation rentals offer a hot tub on the patio or deck.

5. Vacation Rental Homes are Private  

Yes, hotels may offer continental breakfasts. Usually, however, they include sugary cereals, “scrambled” eggs made from a powder, and day-old muffins. Sometimes, being “on your own” for breakfast is a beautiful thing. 

Many luxury vacation rentals have bakeries within walking distance. Enjoying a chocolate croissant and a latte on a private patio is much more enjoyable than a hotel buffet. In a vacation rental, you don’t have to stand in a cold elevator in a wet swimsuit with strangers or sit near random guests for every meal. Privacy is key for vacation rental homes.
