Why stay at a vacation home rather than a hotel or resort?
|
|
Privacy, luxury, and value are the first of many reasons. Hotels and resort can't offer you complete privacy. Hotel and resort amenities are used by all the guests so you have to share pools, spas etc. with strangers. Hotel rooms are small and have limited amenities. A villa is an entire home, large and fully equipped with appliances. Pools, spas, games rooms and all other luxuries are for your exclusive use. Villas come equipped with kid's features like, cribs, toddler beds, strollers, high chairs, kid's dishes and cutlery, toys, videos, PS2 or XBox. Our vacation homes have fun, themed bedrooms for the family to enjoy. Cost per person is significantly lower at a vacation home. A room at a hotel or resort is mostly just a place to sleep and store luggage. A villa is a vacation in itself, a place to enjoy your vacation in privacy and luxury with your family.

How does the cost of a vacation home differ from that of a hotel or resort?

Most often the cost of a vacation home per person is much less than the price of staying at a hotel, and a vacation home has a private pool and spa, fully quipped kitchen, games room with full sized pool table, Air hockey table, and foosball table, at least one big screen 52 inch TV plus TV's in each bedroom, DVD players PS2 or XBox, gas barbeque, and baby equipment, all available for your private enjoyment 24 hours a day.

How many guests do you need to make a vacation rental worthwhile as compared to a hotel?
|
|
Basically, as soon as you have more people than can fit in a single hotel room you are better off renting a villa. Depending on where you stay, a hotel room with two double beds can cost as much or more than a vacation home, not to mention a vacation home has many luxuries and amenities not found in most hotels and even if hotels do have them they are shared with other guests. The more people that come, the more you save. To get a good idea of value take the total cost per night of the vacation home and divided by the number of guests. This gives you the cost per person per night and can the value of a vacation home in perspective. For example, two families consisting of two parents and two children staying at a 5 bedroom villa at $150 dollars a night are paying about $20 per night per person. Even a simple hotel room at $80 per night for 4 people will cost the same. And in a Tourist area like Disney World hotels are much higher per night than average.
