A Room? How About a Whole Vacation Home
Enjoy all the comforts of home on your next family vacation. Stay in a vacation rental home or cabin instead of a hotel. Vacation rental homes are in every destination: your favorite river, near Disneyland and Disney World, on Lake Tahoe, the beaches of Hawaii and beyond. These properties offer all the amenities to make them your second home, but the amenities aren’t the whole story: the cost-savings can be incredible.
More space to relax – A 400 square foot hotel room vs. a 2,500 square foot home…any more questions? That extra space equals more relaxation while traveling with family and friends. A vacation rental is a wonderful alternative to a hotel room. On a family vacation, everyone just needs their space. The kids need to play, mom and dad need to wind down and relax, and your guests certainly need their own room (not a creaky, uncomfortable rollaway bed right in the middle of everything). Not even a fancy end suite in a hotel can provide the space you’ll find in a vacation rental – not to mention the $3000 per night you’ll spend for that end suite. The kitchens alone in most vacation rentals, beach homes, ski chalets and condos are larger than even a 5-star hotel room.
Hotels have to cover extraordinary costs with their nightly rate, their room service and restaurant prices, and their fees for services. That’s why even tiny 400 square foot rooms can be so expensive (and that’s before you’ve even eaten or gone anywhere). Vacation rental owners have much more modest costs to cover to maintain their property. And they pass those savings on to travelers. Vacation rental homes begin less expensively, allowing you to enjoy more of the things you’re on vacation to enjoy: the attractions, a couple of really good meals out, peace of mind.
The power of choice. It’s worth a lot. And it costs a lot when it’s taken away by Housekeeping entering your room at 7:30 am, or by noisy neighbors in the room above or next door, or by the raucous partiers returning to their room at 3:00 am. In a vacation rental home, you have the choice – party all night, or curl up with a good book next to a fire. Take some friends along to enjoy the company of others, or keep it low key. Either way you like it, the choice is yours.
Kitchen – Most Lake Tahoe vacation rentals include kitchens the size of a normal hotel room. Three meals per day add up to major bucks but entertaining guests and occasional family breakfasts, lunches and dinners around the fire may allow for an extended stay on your next holiday. Most kitchens provide cookware, dishes and utensils, just the way you like it. Your own kitchen! Your own microwave! Your own stove. A full-sized refrigerator! These are some of the most popular features of vacation rentals, because they simply offer you complete control over your meals during your trip. Breakfast in bed is still a real possibility followed by a picnic lunch on the beach, and then you could still head out to a local restaurant for dinner. The flexibility built in to this type of accommodation adds convenience, lowers the cost, and provides the good old “comforts of home” feeling. Those breakfasts and lunches eaten at “home?”…they just allowed you to spend one more day at Disney World, Sea World, on the slopes, touring Lake Tahoe on snowmobiles, or snorkeling with the sea turtles.
Have it your way – No more planning around the hotel shuttle, no more spending premium rates for taxi rides (or the tips)…you can make your own schedule in a vacation rental. Need some ice, board games, movies, books, a hot tub, pool, WIFI or how about a backyard? You are in luck. Booking a vacation home is your choice and so are the cool amenities that come with it at no extra charge. Most all amenities that come with vacation homes and cabins are included at the time of booking and are FREE!

NEVER BOOK VACATION RENTALS THAT ARE NOT VERIFIED! LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN, NEVER BOOK VACATION RENTALS THAT ARE NOT VERIFIED! Why? The internet is a breeding ground for scams. Anyone can list a handful of vacation rentals in Orlando, Florida or New York City and throw some competitive prices into the advertisement. The next thing you know you arrive at an empty lot after a long day of travel only to find out you were scammed.
A tip for your next family vacation rental should be to always use caution when booking vacation rentals. From Lake Tahoe, Nevada to Maui, Hawaii to the Gulf shores most “rent by owner” websites do not verify thier listings and scams are in this marketplace just like all areas that allow individuals to advertise. Simply because the vacation home is listed does not mean it has a foundation and an address. Always find out as much as you can about the owner of the rental before submitting your hard earned money. Owners and listing sites that accept credit cards should be placed at the top of your list. Check with the owner of the website to ensure each vacation rental, beach home or ski cabin has been checked out and verified with documentation. It only takes a few minutes to research this but time well spent prior to sending someone you don’t know a thousand bucks!
There is only one really good way to determine if the Tahoe vacation rental or the Gulf Shores beach home is verified. Only search vacation rental websites that verify all rentals posted on the site AND accept credit cards. These advertising sites should have strict guidelines and owner-provided documentation that is reviewed before the listing is made available to travelers. Be very careful with sites that provide renter reviews. Inquire who reviewed and posted this information. As a general rule, take an average of the best and the worst reviews and draw your own conclusion right down the middle. Booking your vacation rental through a reputable, local property management company is always a good idea. You might pay a few extra bucks, but surprises are never good while traveling in groups. Remember to use the new adage “know BEFORE you go.”
Searching for vacation rentals to book? Simply type in “BOOK VACATION RENTALS IN LAKE TAHOE” or “BOOK VACATION RENTALS IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA” or whatever destination you and your family have in mind. Many sites that list vacation rentals provide you with fantastic resources for your next holiday adventure. Remember to spend a little time on the site and most of all look for vacation rental listings that are NOT too good to be true! Talk to the owner of the site to inquire about their process of verification. And when you get tired of hotels with views of the parking lot check out a mountain top vacation rental with views of the canyon may be right for you and your family for your next family vacation.
