subject: Off The Beaten Track: Vacation Rental Homes [print this page] People usually desire a home away from home when they go traveling. Sadly, most hotel rooms are anything but homey and cozy. For families traveling abroad, these can prove to be expensive as well. Vacation home rentals have come to the fore as an affordable alternative for holidays and business travelers alike.
If you've always stayed in hotels during all your travels, you might wonder why you'd want to rent vacation home. Aside from the significant savings you will enjoy when it comes to the price, a vacation home is actually more spacious than a deluxe hotel suite (unless you've rented a penthouse suite). There will be enough bedrooms for all members of the family and you won't have to pay extra mattress or room charges. Even better, there will be hardly any disagreements over who gets to use the bathroom first! Parents won't have to worry about their children being alone in another room either, as they would if the family were to put up in a hotel.
Staying in a house or condo instead of a hotel on your holiday also means that you don't have to stress over the behavior of your fellow hotel guests. You can say goodbye to interrupted sleep caused by people coming back in the wee hours of the night or couples belatedly discovering their incompatibility. For your part, no one will complain about you having breakfast, or even all your meals in your bathrobe. When you rent vacation home, you also do away with the awkwardness that accompanies dealing with the service staff.
By renting a vacation home, a traveler has a better opportunity to experience life in the locale as the locals live it. The trade-off in arranging your own entertainment and excursions is that it can be a more memorable experience than one arranged by a hotel. It's likely that you'll pay less for such activities as well. In addition to a more affordable and wider range of activities, shopping for food and preparing your own meals at your rented holiday property is a great way to enjoy local cuisine in all its freshness.
